A Fun Night In The Dark [AW]

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

OOC~ Yes, I know it's lame, but it's probably better than all the other titles I've made so far . Anyways, onward with the obligatory holiday roleplay! ...took me so long to post this, I'm not in the game anymore, it's been to long .

"Another cold Halloween", he thought gloomily as he looked through the highest window of the building at the night sky. Ray was at his San-Fransisco home, the warehouse by the docks. He put his paws over his face and grumbled, "Sometimes I wonder why I even agreed to come here in the first place. ....or did I bother him till he took me along?..... either way it doesn't matter, it gets cold halfway through the year here and it drives me crazy!." He breathed hard into his paws to try and warm up his muzzle. He felt like his cloak wasn't helping him terribly much as he lay, upside down, on an old couch.

"Hmmm....." A thought just occurred to Ray as he remembered how last Halloween played out for him. "....Flash ignoring me, though that's nothing very new.... Stripe was there...we padded around town...". He laughed half-heartedly at how much of a fool he made himself out to be that night. "After all I tried not to be, in the end all I had to do to get her to like me was to be myself.... And I was lying on the couch like this at the Flea Bite, with her right next to me." He reminisced his first memories with Stripe in a dreamy state. Ray couldn't remember any absolute say of them both going out, and he had seen her on rare occasions since then. "I do remember that she cared about me though. That would make us at a one year anniversary if she considers us to be boyfriend and girlfriend," he thought to himself.

He rolled over on his stomach and hoped off of the old couch, giving himself a stretch before padding to his room. He poped open the chest he kept all of his posessions in and rummaged around in it. "There must be something in here I can give to Stripe for our anniversary that she would like". After a few minutes he found a small box of charms. "Stripe is a fashionable dog after all," he said out loud to himself as he picked through them to find one that suited her. Once he was done, he looked around his room and realized he didn't have anything to wear. The costume he wore last year was a little reckless to wear since it was actually quite valuable, so he decided to think of another costume instead. "Maybe I'll find one if I roam around the night a little," he thought to himself as he threw his cloak over his back and stepped out into the night with the charm clipped onto his collar.

A hair-raising, bone-chilling, blood-curdling howl slices through the night like a white-hot knife. In fact, it sounds more like the scream of a dying animal than it does a mournful song of the dark. The cry tears from the throat of the sickly, half-starved Sylvester. Of all the nights for him to lose his way, it would have to be this night.
Not that it scares him really. He's more afraid of his silly imaginations than he is of anything that could truly hurt him in the real world and perhaps that is what is frightening him now. He shrieks again as he slinks around through the dump, too tired to rest and too hungry to eat...too delirious to even have the slightest idea as to where he is.
Climbing atop a junk car, he points his muzzle skyward and howls again. It's anyone's guess as to what he stands to gain in making so much noise. Perhaps he's only doing it to bring comfort to his own tormented soul. After all, silence frightens him to some degree, for it is in reality's silence that his unreality steps into play.

OOC: See? THIS is why I shouldn't be allowed to procrastinate.

BIC:

"Hey there, handsome" Said Stripe standing on her hind legs, and leaning on a door frame. "I followed your scent here, and your colour ain't one to miss" She said as she tossed through her ID tag on her collar.

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

OOC~ And just when I thought this topic was a lost cause ;D.

BIC~

A sweet voice rang into the whippet's ears. Ray's mouth gaped open for a moment, his hind legs gave out from under him and he found himself plopped onto the ground. "Y....y....w....", he stammered and tried to find the words. Despite the cold night, he felt his face grow quite hot.

OOC~ Oh yeah, if you have any ideas on what the charm could be, don't hesitate, I haven't thought of anything terribly good or meaningful .

[SunFlash]

She gave a humming laugh as she aproached the love-struck Whippet. She made her anklets click as she sat down in front of him "You were saying, Ray?".

OOC: Oh ya, for the title, I think you hit a new low . Not like it really matters too much. Titles aren't too important.

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

Something like a soft whisper passed from his mouth as he struggled to breath again, then it became a regular whoosh. His jaw snapped shut and puffs of smoke billowed out his nostrils as he tried to calm himself down. Then, taking a deep breath, he attempted to speak again. "....you don't know how happy I am to see you!" He wrapped his paws around her.

[SunFlash]

She gave an almost evil looking smile. It wasn't really an evil thought, more like every one of her smiles seem like evil intentions were floating around her head. "I can obviously see that. My, aren't you 'clingy' tonight" Stripe said as the whippet wrapped his arms around her.

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

Ray felt a small bit of embarrassment rise up in him as she said that and he loosened his hug a little, then let go. Scratching the side of his head with his front paw to hide his burning cheeks he finally asked, "What are you up to tonight? Or were you looking for me?" He hoped he didn't sound thingyy as he said it, because he had not intended it like that.

OOC~ Sleepy-ness causes posts that don't make sense. Don't hesitate to point out something that fits that description .

[SunFlash]

She shrugged her shoulders "Nothing much. I caught your trail, and followed it here"

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

Feeling a little more comfortable, and less dumbstruck, Ray finally said what he was sure she wanted to hear, "You look quite divine this evening Stripe". His tail wagged softly under his cloak and he could feel his cheeks get less and less hot. In fact, his cheeks were starting to get a little more chilly.

[SunFlash]

She groomed her paw for a few licks "So, Ray, what brought you up here? I thought you would be on the streets at this time"

[Mr. Sunshine Whippet]

"Well, to be honest, I was looking for you", he said, and added in a whisper to himself, "even though I've been doing that more times than I'd like to admit".

"Maybe I should be asking what you're up to tonight, you couldn't possibly have just been out looking for me," he said slyly, while slowly padding over to her. Some teenagers dressed in their regular ridiculous clothing walked down the street carrying pillow bags that looked quite empty. It was a wonder they had gotten anything at all. A few canines were also wandering the streets, almost like entirely new creatures, also carrying some sort of sac.
