Another day in paradise (Closed, Yuuko, Alex, maybe invites...)

[Alex Stone]

Some random secluded place in Necropolois. January 13th, 2012. Early afternoon, shortly after tea time in London.


This... This was Alex's escape. His everyday life was just that- everyday. It was monotonous, boring, and he hated it. He was weak, useless, and pretty much over-looked, except when his co-workers wanted the day off, and then they remembered poor Alex, the guy who'll take all your work with a smil... Had taken everything with a smile since he was 13 and started working. That smile had entered everywhere in his life, until he BECAME the smile. Now? Now Alexander Stephen Stone was at peace with himself. He didn't let things bother him anymore, as he'd rather be happy than angry. So he smiled all the time, even when he didn't want to smile. His smile would slowly take away the pains of the world, even if just a little. So he smiled his happy, carefree smile all his life.

But right now? Now, Alex was relaxing. It was his escape from the real world, Inferis, he recalled a passing demon had said. This was Inferis, what must have been hell. Not to Alex, though. No, Inferis was his anti-drug. So that's how the day found him, taking in the smells of the world, having dragged a relaxing chair through the barrier with him. This Other Realm, as he affectionately called it, was his relaxation world. So, even though there were demons killing each other everywhere, Alex was alone and safe, for now. His chair was cheap and able to be left behind at a moment's notice, if he felt like it. Yet, right now, he was reclining in the chair, his bare arms behind his head, eyes closed. Still, he was aware, though. He'd be able to tell if something was sneaking on him, unless they were some sort of stealth master or something. Still, his eyes were closed, his legs were crossed, and his arms folded back behind his head, enjoying his alone time. Maybe he'd do some running soon? Inferis was the only place where he could be different. He loved it and hated it both. But it was what it was- there is no changing that.

Yuuko sighed as she walked through Regal Necropolis. Dust blew all around and she coughed, wiping some of it away from her face with a sigh. She always hated coming to Regal Necropolis, since it was so barren and nothing really that important to kill. It was just lesser demons who scurried around the area, nothing more. Easy prey one might say. Still, Yuuko was far too exhausted from a busy day at work to want to focus on big fish. So she figured she'd at least slay a few lesser demons before heading home. Yuuko made sure to kill demons when she could, it was pretty much her only hobby.

As she lurked about, eyes scanning the area for demons, she saw a blonde man relaxing in a fold out chair.... what? What was that idiot doing, sitting out there in the open like that?! Did he want to be dead meat?! "Oi.." Yuuko walked closer, drawing her sword in case it was some sort of trap. "What are you doing? Don't you know that demons lurk about this area.." She raised a quizzical eyebrow and looked him up and down. He didn't look like much...

"You should go back to Earth, unless you plan on hunting today." Yuuko tapped her foot impatiently, but continued to eye him warily. If he was an enemy he could spring any moment, and Yuuko had to be prepared.

A musical voice invaded the ears of on Alexander Stone. It was a beautiful sound, made all the more perfect by the deadly razor edge hiding within it. He smiled at the sound, before finally opening his eyes to see what his eyes would show him. And indeed did they show! A beautiful young woman, prime in her youth! Of course, such thoughts didn't pass through Alex's head, only through the writers. Alex only saw a nice young lady standing there, looking at him with disdain.

Looking her in the eyes, he leaned up, his head facing her, before moving his body do his feet were on the floor. Then, in one small effort, he stood up, towering above the girl. For you see, Alex is 6ft 5in tall. Quite the tall man, yes? His torso was completely bare of anything, leaving only his belly button and down covered by some weird tough black substance. His legs, however, looked absolutely killer. It was readily apparent that this man could run. He looked down at her, for he was a good number of inches taller than her, and into her eyes. A bright smile was on his face, and he extended his right hand towards her, his left remaining at his side, a strange little ring adorning his index finger.

"Hello there! A please to meet you, Miss. I'm Alex. Of course this place is dangerous, I've been going here most of my life. I don't hunt though. There's no point in it, really. I'd rather live peacefully without conflict." He was smiling brightly at the girl, as friendly as could be. Building gave shadow on them, protecting them from whatever hellish being were out there. The area was nice and secluded- perfect for relaxation.

"Here... I'm unique. It's my escape..." He said, smiling softly still. His voice was not as bubbly as before, more subdued. He was at peace right now. He hadn't ever met another human here before, and was excited. "I've never met another human here before, though. I'm pretty excited now. What's your name? Why do you choose to come here? Where are you from?" He asked, curious as could be. He wanted to know so badly.
