The mall... Can be fun! [M]

[Cyrus & Ceri]

"That school is so fucking easy to escape from its not even worth laughing about! Even with all the reds that surround that damn place. With my power, those damn things are nothing but a big joke." Cyrus said as he wondered down the barren road. "Cy... you should be careful. I don't want to get caught again..." Said Ceri's voice deep within Cyrus' mind. Cyrus just blew off the warning with a snort. He didn't give damn one way or another if he got caught. That stupid school wasn't keeping him trapped like a lab rat like all the other stupid children that attended the oh so crazy Sword & Cross. "School for the fuckin' insane!" Cy growled as he walked down a back alley.

"Um... Cy? Where are we going...?"
"What? How am I suppose to know! Quite worrying and enjoy the freedom."

The two wonder aimlessly wondered down the back ally. The sound of cars could be heard coming from head. Running to the end, of the ally. Cy saw the biggest building that he's seen in awhile. "The.. Sunnington Mall. Yeah that sounds like a blast of a place! Shall we go have some fun Ceri?" Cyrus grinned maliciously as he ran across the busy street and entered the mall. "Yes... Some fun we shall have." Cyrus said a huge malicious grin across his face as he slowly entered the oh so big Sunnington mall....

[hafiz]

Hafiz walked at his casual pace in the Sunnington Mall. He really didn't have much reason for being here, but he didn't really care either. He gazed into the shops he passed for a couple seconds, a soft smile on his face the entire time.

As he strolled, he noticed a woman nearing the exit of a store he was walking past. She was carrying a rather large box, and she would be unable to pull the door open.

The lady heard the door open, and peeked over the box to see Hafiz holding it open for her.

She thanked him, to which he replied, "No trouble at all."

He returned to his leisurely stroll, tying his hair up in a samurai ponytail just because he felt like it.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Cy walked around glaring at everyone that he passed. His yellow, cat like eye scanned around quickly. "There's alot of damn people here Ceri!" Cy said excitedly as he walked around his orange sleeves of the straight jacket dragged behind him. "Cy... Don't cause any trouble.. Please." Ceri pleaded with him. Last thing Ceri wanted was for Cyrus to go insane and harm some of the people here. He didn't know how Cyrus manages too escape but he did like the freedom that Cyrus did supply from time to time.

The two walked around, Cyrus couldn't help but chuckle at all the stupid people that just wondered by him. They rarely even gave him a look, unless they noticed the orange straight jacket that the boy was wearing. Then all they got were strange looks. Except for the one boy... that kept staring. Cyrus approached the boy, "What the hell you looking at!" Cyrus asked. The boy just looked at him and the wondered off in a hurry. "Cy... You should be nicer.. you know... it wouldn't like.. hurt." Ceri's voice echoed lightly, almost shyly. "Why the FUCK do have I have to be nice to the stupid people, when WE are the ones stuck in that damn school! They're the ones that should be in there. Not us." Cyrus countered as the two continued to walk along, no longer paying attention to those around him.

It really agitated him that they were stuck in the loony bin. Just because people didn't understand him, automatically made him fucking insane. While everyone else was just oh so PEACH KEEN. It just truly disgusted him at times. "Its just so fucking irritating!" Cyrus growled when he noticed a man holding a door open for a lady. Oh and he was an angel! This was just perfect! "Perhaps Azmald would like this information... Though, I believe I should find out for sure first." Cyrus grinned. As the lady walked past, Cyrus stuck out his foot causing the lady to loose her balance. "Oh come little pidgeon of mine.. Fly right to me." Cyrus chuckled again maliciously. Yes, the mall was the right choice.

[hafiz]

Just as Hafiz finished tying his hair back, he heard the sound of someone struggling to keep their balance.
He turned around to see the woman he had assisted earlier had somehow lost her footing, and was desperately trying to stay on her feet.

The woman ended up bouncing on one foot, and was just about to fall when she felt some sort of pressure against the other side of her box. She peeked around it to see the same young man that had assisted her earlier.

She thanked him once more, to which he merely smiled, and she went on her way.

"Guess I'm kinda lucky, or something," Hafiz said to himself. He wasn't quite paying attention, and bumped into a blue-haired boy.

"Oops. Sorry," he said with a slight chuckle, laughing at his own lack of attentiveness.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Cyrus chuckled as he watched the little pidgeon flock to the rescue. Just like he knew the pidgeon would. They were predictable. Only one or two thus far has actually surprised him and didn't get drawn in by his little traps. This one did make him sick though. He just was so... 'Perfect' if he ever saw perfect! He was nice, caring and just oh so peachy. Yup Disgusting. This angel seemed to have no back bone what-so-ever.

Granted, Ceri was nice and compassionate but even he had a backbone. Regardless if it was him being Cyrus. He could protect himself if he need be. Then, out of no where, Cyrus staggered backward from an unknown force. Looking up, Cy had seen that it was the little pidgeon. "Hey, Watch where the fuck you going!" Cyrus yelled at the angel. Man, did this one lack a brain as well to go with his peachy keenness? "Cy.. be nice. I'm sure it was just an accident." Ceri's voice said in his head. Cyrus just snorted telling Ceri to shut up mentally. Stupid angels and their wanna be perfect-ness. Nothing disgusted him more.

(sorry that its shorter... I'm running around doing things. Not to mention, I'm not at home lol)

[hafiz]

The boy shouted back at him, telling Hafiz to watch where he was going.
But did that bother Hafiz? Not even a little. He just chuckled softly, and bent down so he was at eye level with the boy.
"Sorry again in advance, but you sound upset about something. May I ask what's wrong, little buddy?" he spoke.
As he finished saying the question, he had this odd feeling that maybe asking that wasn't such a smart idea. But, being Hafiz, he didn't really care too much.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Cyrus growled at the angel as he got down on his knees to get to his eye level. This stupid thing was treating him like a fucking child! Then he heard the pidgeon calling him a little boy. Damn it! He was no child! He just wanted to rip the wings off this peachy angel before. Just a simple tear would be oh so satisfactory to hear. " Yeah something the fucking matter. You just ran into me and now your treating me like a fuckin' child! You damn--"

Out of no where, Cyrus raised his hand and switched his eye patch back over to left side, revealing a normal looking right eye. "S-Sorry. Nothings really the matter. We're okay.... Thank you for asking though." Ceri said looking at the man that was before him. "HEY, LET ME BACK OUT. I WASN'T DONE WITH HIM YET!" Cyrus yelled in Ceri's mind. "Cyrus, your just being a headache at the moment. Please, be quiet." He replied mentally, shaking his head as he attempted to drown out Cyrus' annoying yelling about being trapped again. Ceri looked back up at the man and gave a gentle smile. Ceri dusted himself off and bowed to the man. "Again, Thank you for the hospitality." Ceri smiled with a bow and then looked at the man, tilting his head in curiousity.

[hafiz]

Hafiz raised an eyebrow when the boy changed his attitude so drastically. It seemed almost as if the eyepatch the boy was wearing could change his attitude as well as his personality overall.

But, Hafiz didn't think too long about it, because his mind was locked on the fact that the boy had said "we're" instead of "I'm".

"You're kinda odd, little buddy. . .but that's okay," Hafiz said with a grin. "We're all kinda odd in our own ways."

He ruffled the boy's hair.

"What's your name, little buddy?" he asked.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Ceri giggled as the man ruffled his hair. It was different then what he normally got while at the School. Usually, he was just shoved around brutally. As if they really had to be so mean when Ceri was in charge. Which was usually the case while they were at school. "I'm Ceri. Its a pleasure to meet you, uh..." Ceri stopped when he realized that hadn't got the mans name.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Ceri asked curiously. This way Cyrus could get his name as well. "There happy. I'll gather some information for you as well." Ceri told Cyrus. Cyrus just grunted angrily.

"Oh, I suppose I should apologize for the previous behavior... I was just.. uh... caught off guard." Ceri explained without enlightening the man anymore then he could. He didn't want the man to call Sword and Cross to have him taken back to the school. Ceri had never been to a mall before, so seeing so many people in one place was rather interesting to him. It was true that everyone was strange in their own way. Ceri was just a bit stranger then the majority of people that normal people generally ran into. Though it did confuse him as too why Cyrus was so interesting in this man. He was normal... Wasn't he?


Ceri looked at the man, Other then that hair being in a pony tail. He seemed normal in every sense & manner. Not to mention his hair was white even though he seemed only to be in his twenties. Ceri just shook his head . Cyrus was just a confusing fellow at times.

[hafiz]

"Oh, there's no need to apologize," Hafiz smiled. "It's totally okay."
He stood at his full height.
"As for my name? It's Hafiz," he grinned.
"It sounds kinda weird, I know. It means 'guardian' in Arabic."
A slight chuckle escaped his lips as he scratched his cheek a little.
"Which is even weirder, because I'm not even Arabic."

He glanced around the mall.
"Are you here with anyone?" he asked. "You look like you're a little too young to be here on your own. In fact, you look like you're supposed to be in school right now."

He let out a laugh.

"But then again, I could be wrong, and you're older than you look."

He held his hands up behind his head, and grinned.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Hafiz.... That was most definitely a strange name. Not one that many people heard often around this place. Cyrus chuckled when the man mentioned that his name had meant Guardian. 'That most certainly is quite the ironic name for our little angel.' Cyrus chuckled lightly causing Ceri to raise an eyebrow.

Then catching Ceri's attention again, The man asked if he was here with anyone. "I... guess.. you could say that. Then again, we're rarely separated so.." Ceri told the man, "besides, I'm 16, I'm old enough to take care of myself. Only reason i'm not in school is because it was canceled today." Ceri finished answering all the man's questions. He only lied.. about a part of it. There was really no need to tell the man about Cyrus and make himself seem insane. Even if the state claimed him to be. He wasn't really.

Ceri smiled at the man as he rose to complete standing. The man was TALL. Ceri didn't even know that people could be as tall as this man was. It was quite shocking. "Your tall..." Ceri said as he got back up and dusted himself off. He barely even rose up to the mans chest. Granted he was older then Ceri but the man was still TALL!

[hafiz]

Hafiz couldn't hold back his laugh when Ceri commented on his height.

"Yeah, I know. It's great when I need to gaze over crowds, but doorways tend to be a bit hazardous," he grinned.
"But it's all okay by me. I'm used to ducking."

He dropped his arms, and slid his hands into his pockets.
"So, are you doing anything in particular today? I could help you, if you're okay with that," he said with a shrug.
In all honesty, he felt bad about letting Ceri walk around by himself. Especially with how. . .tempermental. . .the boy seemed to be.

"So, what do you say, little buddy? We could hang out, but it's entirely up to you."

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Ceri chuckled when the man said that door ways were hazardous. They were only hazardous for him if it was shut on his face. Though that never happened to him.. nope.. never. Then the man had asked if they were doing anything in particular and offered him help. "No... I don't know what I'm doing here... I rarely go out you see. So I'm new to this place." Ceri explained, "So yes... I suppose we could hang out. You seem to know this place much better then I do..." Ceri said as he looked up at the man.

"No! Your not suppose to be friends with the damn fool! Your suppose to be hunting him! HUNTING HIM!" Cyrus yelled. Ceri just shook his head blocking out Cyrus' complaints again. "I'm in charge. So quiet please." Ceri requested and then nodded his head at Hafiz and smiled. He was curious as to what adventure the man was going to take him on since he's never been too such a big place.


"So where do we go from here?" Ceri asked with a smile. He wanted to know more about the man.

[hafiz]

Hafiz let out a chuckle when Ceri asked him where they should go next.

"I don't really care, to be honest," he grinned. "I've been walking around aimlessly for quite some time already."

He started walking down a hall.

"This way works as good as any, I guess," he said casually.

[Cyrus & Ceri]

Ceri skipped along behind Hafiz, looking at all the people that passed by. There were so many people here! This was like almost QUADRUPLE the amount of people that attended the sword & cross. "Are there always so many people here?" Ceri asked as he skipped along cheerfully. So many people were here. It was a good thing that he was in charge. Cyrus would just cause major trouble for the both of them and they would end up back at school and get scolded.

"I don't think I've ever seen so many people around.." Ceri mumbled to himself as the two walked around the mall. He wonder why so many people came here, there were plenty of shops but some people had no bags and while some people had loads of bags. While others walked in a group. What brought people to come here.

"Is there any reason you came here?" Ceri asked, out of curiosity. The man had said that he had been wandering around for awhile but he didn't seem to have a certain place to go. Then again, Ceri didn't either. He was just wandering around a full mall
