NY, heaven or hell? (Central Park) [open]

[eevee]

It was the first time Eevee visited a city which was this big. After swimming across an ocean, she shook herself dry. The sun was warming her rapidly, and as her webbed feet dragged across the sand, her gills and scales began to disappear. As she reached the city, Eevee had fully transformed back into her brown, furry state.

The little fox sniffed the air, and sneezed loudly. How could people live in this.... polluted state? Her curiousity got the better of her though, and with her eyes wide open, the little monster strutted into the busy streets.

Cars raged over the roads, and in her short life, Evee had learned to avoid them as much as possible. Whenever she got the chance, she crossed over. As she reached the pavement, another scent hit her in the face. A delicious one this time. With her ears involuntairily flickering back and forth, she tried to locate the source of this new sensation. It didn't take much effort to find it though....

Stationed on the corner of a street, Eevee saw a man with a little cart, selling hotdogs. Without paying attention to her surroundings, she dashed forward. She ignored the fact that she was almost hit by a car, and stoppd running just in front of the cart, sniffing wildly. The man behind the cart noticed her, and looked at her as if he was looking at an alien. Eevee didn't mind though, she was used to it. All she was interested in, was the delicious treat that was inside the cart.

Acting purely on instinct, she gave the cart one of her best headbutts, and knocked it over, littering the street with hotdogs. In the background she could hear the man scream something at her, but by the time he finished his first couple of words, she already had a mouthfull. Without much etiquette, she chomped down the food, as if her life depended on it. She almost finishd them all, as she felt a sharp pain on her back. The man was hitting her with the stick of the umbrella that was on the cart.

Despite the pain, Eevee made a move for the last couple of hotdogs, and took off as she stuffed the last one in her mouth.
After running in what seemed like ages, she slowed down, and walked into an alley, to quietly finish the rest of her meal. When she was finished, she contently licked her snout clean, now it was time to look around.

As the sun began to set, Eevee could smell something natural. With her tail upright, she strutted towards where ever it came from. After walking for a couple of blocks, she could see trees! A rar sight in cities like these she knew. Her fur stood up as her paws felt the softness of grass after a long time. Chirping with happiness, she almost hopped into the park.

After a little walk, she couldn't even see the cars anymore, which made her forget about them, even though she could still hear them.

Now, as the sun set behind the buildings, leaving her in complete darkness, she lied down, rolling around in the cool grass and smelling the flowers. People were leaving the park, and Eevee too realized it was time to get some sleep.

After sprinting around for a short time, sh saw a nice place underneath a tree. With her claws, she quickly dug herself a shallow burrow, and rested her tired body there... Within seconds she fell asleep, totally unknowing that she had transformed into an Umbreon right now. She would discover the rest of the park tomorrow.....

Walking along and strumming away on her little demon guitar, it seemed like she raked in a nice sum to deliver to the scientist who not only knew her secret but was trying to develop a cure to her disease....or...at least something like it. All day she was hearing about people going on about some cat...fox...thing...causing some trouble. Mostly with innocent hot dogs according to some of her peers. Personally, she just sort of laughed at those stories since 1) What the hell was a cat again? 2) Fox? What? 3) Cats and foxes can't be hybrids.....right? 4) Sounded silly.

Though she wasn't a moron, being focused on earning money and not being from this planet had its drawbacks, not knowing a whole lot about animals for example was hers. It was a long day of earning money, but she made at least five hundred bucks off of her talent! For now, she'd take a small little break and then see if she couldn't go around and continue earning some cash. Admittedly...it felt nice to just walk around in this slice of nature and actually enjoy it for a bit....but something she DEFINITELY didn't see in her two years on Earth was a black creature with golden rings upon its body. Pretty cool...looked like it could make a neat Earth pet, but the alien wasn't about to push her luck. Keeping her electric guitar in hand, she was wearing a very simple outfit this lovely evening. A black hoodie with a gray heart in the center and a pair of blue jeans.

Fingerless gloves were worn so she could have a sense of warmth but not screw up her guitar playing at the same time. Then there were her weird boots...those things were platform boots with silver musical note studs. Bother the little critter or just let it sleep? .....bother the little critter. Strumming a few notes, she figured that would be better than SOME methods of waking animals up. There were so many humans who were so...........stupid......and that was putting it nicely.

Eeve must've been in a deep sleep, because she couldn't hear the stranger approach her. While twitching her paws, her mind was rebooting about the busy day she had in this new town. The soft grass provided a nice and comfortable underground to do so, enabling her to get in such a deep trance.

It was then that her ears picked up a strumming sound, which rudely woke her from her dream. With a twitch her head went up, her eyes wide open. Although Eevee seemed alert, the tore from her deep sleep left her vision blurry. She couldn't see or sense danger however, so she gave herself time to wake up.

After a few seconds it was clear a humanoid figure sat not too far from her. Eevee, still in her Umbreon state, tilted her head a bit, sniffing the air. This was not a normal human, not by a long shot. With a stretch of her muscles she sat up, shaking her head to get rid of the last remnants of sleep. The lack of danger woke up the curious side of her, and she kept staring, although keeping her distance.

Mission success! The little whatever it is was waking up and of course one thing she actually retained in her memory about animals in general is not to approach them quickly whether they're big or small. It was a general safety measure of sorts, so that was easier to keep in mind...that and it applied to her jobs when having to deal with critters who broke in. Even though for those situations, she'd handle it like the pied piper and be done with it. However, this time around, she didn't so much as have her flute on hand, just her demon themed guitar and a harmonica hidden away in her pocket. Not like she had intentions on harming this animal, basic rule of thumb in her book wasn't to go around hurting the helpless since that didn't help move her hopes and dreams along. That and being an intentional asshole wasn't what she wanted to be to something or someone that really didn't deserve such ill treatment.

In fact, she wasn't sure if the light strumming upon her guitar was pissing the little fluff ball off....didn't seem to be angry....just kinda in the waking up stage. Keeping the melody mellow as to help give a more comforting vibe, she offered up a slight smile and crouched down to the ground so that she wouldn't seem so tall and scary. "Hey there little...whatever you are...sorry about the whole waking you up thing...but do you want to come with me to get some food?" After that, she brought her melody playing to an end and slowly reached out her hand so that the fluffy critter thing could check her scent. Yet another little general rule of dealing with animals she actually had in mind thanks to her co-workers and employers. The girl may not have had friends but the social networking circle was enough to help her obtain useful information for meshing in fairly well!
