Asha woke up and started her mourning rutine she tried to aply some order to her life.She decided to take a walk around the city it was awhile before work started so she figured it was all right.
Abigail was never an early person. He relentlessly got up and dressed. She then headed to the coffee shop on her neighborhood with her laptop. She ordered some coffee and say down at a table and opened up her laptop while sipping her coffee.
Gavin got up and stretched his arms, reaching for the sky. Or leaking roof was more like it. His bed was a jumble of blankets and old pillows and his stuff was in scattered piles around the room. The rest of the run down house was completely empty. His stomach screamed at him, demanding food, and Gavin got out of his mountain of warmth gruelingly.
Hunter was up and out of bed, in fact, he had not yet gone to sleep. He worked the graveyard shift at a small convenience store and was working overtime. The next employee had not yet come for his morning shift, and Hunter couldn't leave the place unattended. He needed sleep. Passing out on the job wouldn't be the best thing for him at the moment, especially with his tyrant of a boss. He begrudgingly helped the happy morning people that kept pooling into the store, silently cursing their overly cheery moods.

Abigail yawned while typing and went back to it . She was typing a report for one of her musical classes.
After the next employee came to work, Hunter was already exhausted. He didn't want to give the guy a hard time, so he simply nodded to him before signing out. He needed coffee. It was a long bus ride home and he didn't want to fall asleep and miss his stop again. Grumbling, he swung his backpack over his shoulder and headed to the nearest coffee shop. After ordering, he decided to sit down, which was odd for him. Normally he always grabbed things to go, as he wasn't one for sitting alone, not being overly social. He just needed to to sit down after a whole night of standing.
Hunter didn't smile back, he was a bit shocked at the fact that a stranger smiled at him. Normally people went about their day dodging glances. He sort of stared at the girl for a bit before shaking the thought away. I shouldn't be rude. He mentally scolded himself. He let his eyes study the top of his table as he slowly drank his coffee.
Abigail thought it was strange that he didn't return her smile most people did. She tried not to worry herself over the silly thing to much and continued to type. She glanced at him once more before going back to typing. Despite her will it was bothering her a little that he hadn't smiled back at her.
Minutes ticked by on the coffee shop's clock. When Hunter finally got up, he felt a bit better. He walked to the waste basket and threw away his cup before he let himself glance back at the girl. Whether his mind was just too tired to be his awkward self, or simply him not wanting to be rude, he didn't know, but before he left he gave the stranger a small smile. He was sure not to show his teeth. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Why smile? It's not like a know her. With a short shake of his head, he headed off to catch his bus.
Abigail smiled back satisfied. "Thank you." she said. She then got up as well. It was time for her jog in the park. He went home and changed into a normal t-shirt and some shorts. She then started jogging on the trial humming a song.
Asha had decided on going to the park today.She began down one of the trails the parks were always so beautiful.
Hunter waited at his bus stop, which was just across the street from a natural reserve, or 'nature park.' Hunter was glad humans did the Earth at least this kindness, rather than killing all of it. Shaking his head with a bit of grief, he glanced up to see the bus coming. He waited eagerly, wanting to head straight to bed.
Gavin was walking around town aimlessly until he found a small ice cream stand. He moved his hand slightly, bringing forth a rather strong gust. While the person selling the sweets was paying attention to keeping his hat on the top of his shiny bald head, Gavin snagged a container of ice cream. Ducking, he rolled out of sight and dashed for a nearby woodsy area to eat, out of sight. His expression was that of pure excitement with a touch of fear. He sure as hell didn't want to be caught.

Abigail was still jogging down the trail. When he reached the section that was against the street she saw him. The boy from earlier. She slowed her jog and stopped "Hi." she smiled. "Remember me?"
Hunter looked up as he heard a feminine voice call out to him. His eyes met those of the girl from back in the coffee shop. She had offered him another smile. He still didn't quite know how to respond. He felt a bit awkward, obligated to return the warm greeting, but was unable. "I remember." He replied. "Are you catching the bus too?" He asked, motioning to the on coming bus.
Abigail thought long and hard about it. She could maybe go to the mall and grab something to eat if she took the bus then begin running again. She decided it couldn't hurt and so she nodded. "Never did catch your name." she said.
"My name is Hunter." He answered. "And yours?" Hunter felt odd talking to someone. The bus pulled up and the door opened slowly, making a short gust like sound as it did so. Hunter hauled himself onto the bus and gave the payment for the ride before sitting down. Outside the bus it was starting to rain, slowly at first, but quickly gaining speed. He waited for the girl to take a spot next to him and inform him of her name.
Abigail also payed the driver. She sighed when she saw it raining. Riding had been a good call on her part. She the sat next to him "I'm Abigail." she smiled. "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." He agreed. He wasn't sure what to say after that. What did humans normally talk about? He couldn't quite recall. "So where are you headed?" He decided on asking before the conversation went cold. Was that an unusual thing to ask? God, why was human interaction such a complicated web of formalities and odd customs? He tried to keep his expression calm and inviting, but he still couldn't get himself to smile. It wasn't that he didn't want to, he just wasn't used to the gesture.
((Pffft, Hunter is such an alien. xD ))

((lol i'm seeing that ^-^))"Mall." she said "What about you?" he asked politely. She could tell he looked slightly awkward.
"Home. I just got off work before I headed to that coffee shop." He responded. "I didn't want to pass out on the bus." He refrained from saying 'again' at the end of that. He didn't want to look like a complete idiot.
Hunter couldn't help himself. He laughed as well. "For everyone else, maybe." He couldn't believe he was smiling, let alone laughing. Maybe talking to strangers wasn't such a bad thing after all. "So, Abigail," He started, trying out the name. "What do you do for fun around here?" He asked curiously. He must have been drunk off the laughter. It had been too long since he had laughed. He felt like being a bit social.
((What's Asha up to? I'll have her run into Gavin or something. Before the four of them meet up later.))
((What's Asha up to? I'll have her run into Gavin or something. Before the four of them meet up later.))
((something about a trail. And ok :))"Well." Abigail said "I like to go jogging in the park it's absolutely beautiful, but the mall is also fun food people stores all that good stuff."
((Hey Sorry I missed all the action anyway Asha's at the park taking a stroll before she goes to work.))
Hunter smiled widely. His face lit up with the gesture. It was a rare sight, although there was no way for this strange girl to know that. His eyes seemed to get lighter as his mood did. "I'll have to check it out some time." As he said this the bus stopped. Time to go. Hunter stood tall and towered over the others on the bus. He looked back at the stranger-no, Abigail. He gave her one last, heartfelt smile. "It was a pleasure meeting you." He said with a small bow. "If I don't see you again, have a wonderful life." He turned and began his walk toward the exit of the bus.
Gavin was running through the woods with his small container of ice cream. He had to hurry and find some place safe to eat it before it melted. He slipped on a group of small ferns and nearly hit his head on the branch he had just ducked under to get by. With a small yelp, he grabbed desperately at anything in his arms length. He was surprised to find the "branch" he had grabbed hold of was slightly warm. Looking up, he noticed it was a young woman's arm. He yelped a second time, out of shock, and then promptly fell on his face.
((And so Gavin meets Asha. :P ))

Abigail hated to see him go he had been such good company. "Wait!" she said abruptly "is your destination by some chance past the mall?" she asked hopefully.
Hunter turned and thought for a moment. He didn't want to leave her there, but this was his stop. And he was still exhausted from the grave yard shift. "How about you meet me there tomorrow? Say around this time?" That way he would be off work. It was absurdly early in the morning, but he silently hoped to see her again. He knew it would probably end badly. He wasn't exactly human. Humans tended to find that bit... odd, to say the least. He seemed to actually like having a normal conversation for once though, and his loneliness was now speaking for him.
She flashed her teeth at him. "Yes, sounds good." She then sat back in her seat again.((time skip whenever your ready.))
((What about Gavin and Asha?))
((I am aware. I was referring to Asha. And are we skipping to the bit where they meet in the mall? Or sometime before that?))
((Gavin ran into Asha before you posted. Read the post from earlier. I'll always separate posts for different characters by spacing out the paragraphs. This way you don't have to read all of it, just what is relevant to you. I got your back. xD))
Hunter was waiting in front of the large mall. He had only come here once before, and that was more on accident. He glance around occasionally. There were so many people wandering about. It felt strange, suffocating. He breathed deeply and shoved the uneasiness to the back of his mind. He waited patiently.

Abigail had picked a nice floral mini dress with some flats and two peacock earnings her hair was nicely curled today. She always loved to dress to impress whenever she was going out in public. She saw Hunter and waved her hand in the air while calling out his name and smiling.
Hunter's attention was drawn to the sound of his name. Abigail was waving at him and wearing her usual, bright smile. He found himself smiling back. She looked like she had dressed up, and she looked adorable. He suddenly felt under-dressed. Shaking his head, and chuckling a bit at his own absurd worrying, he walked toward Abigail. "Hello." He greeted.
"Hey Hunter." she smiled. "glad you showed up." he had been set up before and now felt a little insecure about taking people's word. It wasn't to bad, but it was still very much there.
((Depends. Sorry it's so inconsistent.))
Hunter's expression changed to one of slight confusion. He titled his head ever so slightly before he spoke. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked. Was that something people did? Make plans and not go through with it? That's rather odd. He thought. She must have had prior experience with this kind of flakery. He felt a prick on his heart. "I would never do that to you." He found himself saying. He meant it, but didn't quite understand why he wanted to reassure her of this.

Abigail was a bit surprised at first seeing that he had understood her unspoken feelings. She then composed herself and smile lightly. She could hear the pure honesty in his voice "I believe you." she said to him.((lol no its fine I just didn't know if we had a big time difference or what. Im on though out the day mostly mobile so it's fine.))
((Oh, cool. It's about 9:55pm here now.))
He gave her a small smile. He seemed to be giving her a lot of them. It was strange, smiling so much in the last two days. More than he had in years. "Thank you." He said with a slight bow. He then turned to walk beside her. "Shall we go?" He asked.

((Haha, I hope you don't have to get up in the morning. xD ))
They wandered the mall for a bit and chit-chatted about various things. Hunter found he rather enjoyed the girl's company. "Where to next?" He asked her. She had a contagious attitude and he found himself smiling more and more around her, not only this but the smiles became less awkward.

((funny you should say that... xD))Abigail thought a moment. "Well if you want to go some where else there is this really pretty garden at the park I like to go to some times. It's not to far away from here."
((Oh god, I'm sorry! Haha. Good luck! You got this! xD ))
Hunter nodded. "Sure. I'd like that." He followed her lead to the park. The sun was still rising in the sky as it was pretty early in the day. Hunter watched the sky lazily as they walked. "So do you have any hobbies, or things you like doing?" He asked, curious. He suddenly wanted to know more about his new friend.

((lol naw I do this sort of thing all the time.))"Well I like to sing. I also like weaponry mostly fencing." Abigail said. She planned on asking him about himself as well. She was really enjoying her company. This sort of thing didn't happen to Abigail a lot despite her optimistic attitude.
Hunter grinned. "That's cool." An idea struck him and kept gnawing at him. He wanted to hear her sing. More out of curiosity than anything else. He sort of smirked at his own strange behavior these past two days, but he asked anyway. "Would you sing for me?" He asked. "You don't have to if you don't want to, of course." He hastily added. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
