Spare Change?(Open)

[Deleted]

It was a nice day to be out walking. The sky was grey with clouds and blocked out the sun, but no one seemed to care. The streets were busy with cars and people were walking along minding their own business, except for the people who gathered around the teenage werepire and her new canine companion, Ginger, sitting at her feet.

Vivian had a guitar in her hand and wore a black shirt with the words "Bite Me" in silver letters printed across the front and a pair of black sunglasses to hide her unnatural multicolored eyes. She was playing and singing for money, like she always did, but now she had to get enough to buy food for Ginger.

There was food at Mathew's apartment, but it there wasn't anything either of them could eat. A small glass jar sat in front of Vivian with a piece of paper taped to the front with "Request $2" written in purple ink. The jar didn't have much in it only a few coins and three dollar bills. Vivian was in the middle of singing the song "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan when Ginger decided to add her own voice in.

Her howl brought out giggles from the little kids who had dragged their parents to the crowd. As Vivian, and Ginger, finished the song the crowd gave a small applause then the crowd slowly began to shrink as people left to go about their business. Only a few people were generous enough to drop spare change into the jar.

As the last few people left, Vivian swung the guitar onto her back and picked up the jar, reaching her hand in and pulling out the bills and coins. She sighed and shook her head, stuffing the bills into her back pocket and counted the change. She ended up with a total of four dollars and eighty-seven cents.

She dropped the coins into her pocket and looked over at Ginger, "You in the mood to have beef jerky again?" Ginger stared at her for a moment then gave a soft whine. "I didn't think so." She put the jar back in its place and wondered what she was going to do.

Chione had been just sort of wandering around, doing nothing really, bored out of his mind, he hadn't felt the need to mess with the titans, or bother figuring out where Canas lived to have a demon-to-demon chat.

Nor did he even feel like going to play games at his friend's house, or get his ass handed to him in poker by a human, like what usually went down when he played. Though he didn't know why he continued to play with the group he usually hung out with.

But something did draw his attention. Music, and something he recognized. Humans may be weird, but the band Simple Plan was pretty good, and he walked towards it, seeing the girl begging with her guitar. "Y'know, it works better if you do your own stuff" he said, standing before her.

Vivian looked up at the guy who stood before her and glared at him. "Well these are all I got so do what the shirt says. "Bite Me"" She looked back at Ginger and slowly patted her head. She knew this guy, whoever he was, was right as much as she didn't want to admit it, but she wasn't good at making her own songs they all ended up the same, terrible. She sighed and began playing "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy even though there wasn't anyone around to listen except for the guy.

"Well, I can see your just a ball of fun aren't you?" He commented moving to sit to the side of her, leaning on a wall, a few feet away, listening to the music. He did like the music, and it was nice change from the stuff he usually listened to, which tended to be pretty heavy on the bass, despite him wielding a guitar rather than it.

He crossed his arms behind his head, slowly mouthing to the words along with the song, and half-wondered if he should go get his acoustic to join in. But for now, was rather content with sitting still, listening to this softer kind of music, the girl was playing.

Vivian ignored the guy and continued with her playing, but occasionally snuck a few glances at him. When she finished the song she looked down at Ginger and scratched her behind her ears. Vivian sighed and put her guitar into it's case, grabbing a small paper bag that sat next to the case, and sat down a few feet from Chione. She reached into the bag and pulled out a small bag of sliced ham and fed them to Ginger, who quickly scarfed them down. Vivian chuckled and patted Ginger's head then leaned back against the wall, removing her sunglasses.
