Divo, Female
Sneaky, Mean, Intelligent

(Open to all, no more than 2 people joining please)

She stared bleakly out at the landscape. Great. Here again. It had been bad enough the first time-she had met some quite friendly pets only to be nearly ripped to shreads by a deadly puma. She had barely escaped with her life and what did her owner say when she returned home? Go straight back!
Well, to be fair she hadn't said that exactly. First she had fussed over her scratches, pampering her like she was some pathetic dog. Then she had wanted to hear all about her travels (Very tiresome-Divo didn't care for idle chatter) About a week or so later Divo had heard her sighing about wanting a Snicky again. She had continued like that for several days until she finally made a plea to Divo.
"You've been before!" She had cried, "You were fine then!" And Divo, for some bizarre reason unknown even to herself, had decided that she would come back. And here she was.
Where was here exactly? All Divo could make out was a small alleyway. Rather dark and dingy, even for her. Trashcans on one side, mouldering pile of something rather disgusting on the other. Coiling herself up, she shifted her weight slightly, ignoring the faint (and slightly putrid) breeze that ruffled her mane. Oh yes, this was the life

If had been the life before, life was about to get a whole lot worse. Divo felt a faint splattering of a few water droplets on her snout. Within seconds she was completely drenched, her mane sticking to her scales awkwardly. Letting out a hiss of frustration, she uncoiled and slithered over to where the trashcans lay. Using her tail she picked up the lid off one of them and held it over her head like an umbrella, trying desperately to ignore the green liquid that the lid was soaked in. There was a reason she disliked this place and she had suddenly been reminded of it. It had been raining last time too.
If she wanted a Snicky she better get into action. Placing the lid down for a second, she peered inside the dustbin. Old teabags, rotten fruit and what looked like a leg of rancid meat. Perfect.
Dipping in her tail she pulled out the best pickings and placed them on the garbage lid. She was getting wet by now but she didn't really care. She'd have to find another means of shelter later

Once she was satisfied with her haul, she glanced around to look for somewhere to place this tray of goodies. Realizing there wasn't much shelter in the alley, she slid out of the small street and continued going down another road until she spotted some thick jungle trees bordering the side. Feeling quite pleased with herself, she darted under the trees to dry off. Placing the lid at the opening of a large, exotic-looking bush, she slithered a few feet away and hid herself so as not to scare any Snickies that might come her way.
Sure that she had done all she could for the moment, Divo shook herself over. She hated being wet! Sure, water slid off her scales pretty easily, but when her mane got wet it took forever to dry. Staring miserably out of her bush, her tail writhed impatiently. Her two least favourite things, rain and waiting. This day was getting better and better

As she waited, Divo found her mind wandering back to the last time she had been here. It had seemed like a lifetime ago, although she knew it hadn't been that long. She had made some interesting...acquaintances that day. She refused to call them friends, although at heart she supposed that's what they were. Divo didn't make friends-she was a big, fierce snake. Big fierce snakes didn't have friends, didn't want them. Divo did miss them slightly though.

The minutes ticked by. One hour, two? She was so bored! She had taken to counting the raindrops as they fell, but that was hardly what you could call interesting. She was so bored she actually found herself wishing that someone else would come along, just so she had something to stop her from going insane

Wilo


Wilo floated through the streets of the Slums. His owner had sent him here to capture a Snicky, He looked down at the street he was floating over. He was lucky that he didn't have to walk because the road looked disgusting. He hadn't gotten very far when the rain started to come down. No, he didn't want his wings to get wet and become useless for him. He looked around, was there anywhere he could take shelter? There, under those trees. He floated fast to them before his wings became to damp. Under the protection of the vegatation, he shook his self, trying to get his self dry. He looked down to see a Carpetfang. "Good day." He said politely.

[kabuto_rocks]

The Carpetfang blinked in surprise-wishes really did come true. She examined the creature intrigued. She had never met one in person, but she knew that he was a Holeef from appearance.

"Hello," She spoke warily, keeping her guard up (as she often did when meeting new people) She remained silent for a minute or two before speaking once more, "Oh, and by the way that ssstash over there-" Here she pointed to her trash pile with her tail, "Isss mine, ssso don't even think about ssstealing it!" Her tone was rather fierce, even more so than she'd planned. Feeling perhaps a little guilt, she added with a friendlier note, "I'm Divo by the way."

Wilo shook again, forcing the remaining drops off his body. "I understand." He replied to the Carpetfangs comment. "I am called Wilo, by the way." He said, seeming to bow slightly. He floated closer to the ground, giving his wings a break. "Are you here for Snicky as well?" He asked, looking at the pile that the Carpetfang dibbed his.

Jim/James Hawkins

Yuck! Why was he here? His mind raced back to only hours ago, when he announced to his owner where he was headed. He was wanting an adventure, but Tsuki scolded him and told him not to go to The Slums, saying there was always a bad group of people there. Jim only shook his head, being in his 'teenage' years, he was still naive when it came to these things. So what did he do? He lied, and told her he was just going for a walk around the Village. She beleived him, being just as naive as he.

But now, he regreted it. Oh yes, he regreted it greatly. Why? Well... look at this place! Already he had run into a strange bunch- He didn't want that to happen again. The young Albie's nose scrunched up at the scent of the place. Trash. That's all it smelt like to him. The bottom of his paws were slick from the ground, and he was sure he had a few fur stains here and there. Tsuki would know where he was at. Oh yes... she would know. He's going to be in so much trouble. Was this worth it?

He stoped hearing voices, and his ears perked up expectantly. He hoped it wasn't another strange bunch. Jim knew his first instinct should have been to just keep on walking. But nope. He was too curious, and so decided to veer towards those voices, where he croutched down behind a large pile of... well, junk- hadly worth being called trash, in his mind. When he heard the voice from the Holeef, he tilted his head to the side like a puppy. Snicky? They're here for one of those? He was outta here. He wouldn't be caught dead trying to search for something in the Slums.

He began to back up slowly, but suddenly his back paw kicked a tin can. His eyes widdened, and he turned to glare at the stupid peice of trash. Chances are he had been heard? Maybe not. He turned to make a leap and run off, but it didn't go too well either. He slipped on a banana peel, ironiclly enough, and ended up not only making more noise, but into that pile of trash he was hiding behind, sending the stuff flying everywhere.

... He wasn't just introuble with Tsuki now.

The loud clattering interrupted Divo before she had a chance to speak. A vague expression of dangerous curiousity clouded her face. Uncoiling, she slid out from the bush to locate the source of this racket. It wasn't particularly hard-she spotted the Albie fairly quickly, surrounded by her trash it would seem.

For several daunting seconds she remained quiet, assessing the situation. Her mouth opened slightly, one fang gleaming threateningly. Then she took a deep breath and slid forward until she stood next to the Albie.

"Hello," Her voice was eerily calm, "I'm Divo, and thisss isss Wilo. Who are you?" There was more of an edge to her voice, and her tone definitely wasn't friendly, "You must be pretty important considering you just waltzed in here and ruined my chance to catch a Sssnicky."

Wilo had flinched at the racket. And by the time he had recovered he saw the Carpetfang already seeming to scold the acussed. He shook his head. "It is alright Divo, we shall rebuild your trap, and wait again." He replied, trying to calm him down.

[Kitleoh]

Jim groaned gently in pain and embarrassment. Something like that hadn't happened to him before. Then again, he never really actually had been out and around others that much. He mostly stayed in his boring little Village. But right now, he didn't seem like it was so much boring any more. More like Cozy.
As the Void Carpetfang made her way towards the young Albie, he slowly picked himself up onto his four legs, and shook the gunk off of him. His eyes were slightly unfocused, but quickly came too once Jim noticed that a Carpetfang was comming towards him. His ears lowered, as did his tail, in apologies as he realized he pretty much ruined her Snicky trap.

"I-I'm sorry." He quickly stammered, nodding towards Wilo in acknowledgement. "Nice to meet both of you.." He said quietly, "I'm Jim Hawkins. Just call me Jim, for short please." He looked around him at the damnage that had been done. He now felt pretty guilty, but then again, he was sure a Snicky wouldn't come to them. He didn't know how smart those things were.
"I'm really sorry, Again. I didn't mean too. Uh.. If you want, I can help you make another one?" He was volunteering more than just that- he was offering to help them find a Snicky.

[kabuto_rocks]

(By the way, Divo's a girl haunting)

Divo paused, her tail wriggling thoughtfully. They did make good points, the trap could be rebuilt. On the other hand she did enjoy being angry...

"Alright, 'Jim'," She reluctantly agreed, "Helping usss isss the least you can do." With that she turned her back to the both of them and began rummaging through the trash once more. The rain seemed to have died down slightly, but her mane was still soaked, causing little droplets to fly off whenever she moved her head. She stared wearily up at the sky (most of which was blocked by trees) Bleak, just like her mood. How poetic. She let out a private snort of laughter before resuming the task of gathering trash. Oh yes, her life was glamorous indeed

(OOC: Ya I relized that after I posted it)

Wilo smiled, he was happy that Divo wasn't mad anymore. His wings started to drip down, as they had gotten very damp. He flapped them harder, trying to get them to keep him a float. But it wasn't working, in the moment he had left of flight, he flew over to the shelter. Landing on the rotten ground, he moaned. "Now I am not help for you no more." He said, looking sad to be useless.

[Kitleoh]

Jim frowned slightly to the Carpetfang, but he agreed anyway. She was right, after all. It was the least he could do. He too turned to the pile with Divo, and began to try and come up with something to catch a Snicky. But then he couldn't help pausing as he heard Wilo's complaint. The young Albie smiled slightly. Pausing from his work, he walked over to the little creature, "Don't say that," He said, "You're going to be awesome help once we get the trap built and the rain stops." Although he had no idea how he would be either, at least he was trying to encourage the Holeef.

Slowly, he turned back around to Divo. "S-sorry." He quickly said, rushing back to help her. "Uhm.. I beleive you had food somewhere for it.." He looked around. He only spotted a half eaten peach. Leaning over, he snatched it into his mouth and placed it infront of her, "Will that work? Do Snicky's like that kind of stuff?" His eyes kept darting to and fro, trying to see if he could spot something better.

[HunnyBun]

Wilo brighten up when Jim had said his words of encouragement. He was happy now, and din't feel so usless. But still felt bad that he was just sitting there. He looked up to the sky, it seemed the rain clouds were breaking up, but it would be some time untill it would stop.
