Welcome to Gaia! ::

sakura slipped the purse on her shoulders like it was hers then stood up pulling the sting that singled she wanted to get off at the next exit. The bus driver had just entered the red light district. Sakura was eager to get off the bus now, she would have a while to walk, but it was better than getting caught. She lived in the heart of the Red Light District and the walk would be dangerous. Sakura didnt care, as long as she could get out, and fast. The bus diver pulled over at the next stop. The stop was dark for the light abive gave out. Someone had shot a bullet through the bulb. The small stop seemed loomy and Sakura walked casually off the bus. ONce off she stood on the sidewalk and didnt move from the door.
She cluth the purse nervously and her hands began to shake.

Serian stayed in her spot and watch the bus and the man slowly go away.
Once alone in the night streets Serian scoffed the money threw the purse into a trash can and stuffed the money to her inside shirt. She was happy for she made enough money to eat the next day. Her foot steps seemed loud in the quiet night. Ocassionally a loud car would go speeding by, and her footsteps would not be herad.

There was a Thwak in the distance. Serian was startled for a moment.
She paused for a moment looking behind and around her.
When Serian looked up. The man on the bus had gone ahead of her. Apperently they where going the same way. Serain ducked in the allyway and watch the Mugger attempted a direct mugging.

Serian hid as the robber ran by holding his face. He had dropped his gun. Serian looked back around the cornor, her upper body mostly around the cornor now.
" this guy, has some guts...but then again a lot of people do in this neighborhood. I give that robber guy his credits for having the balls to go after a guy like that!.." she thought to herself

Serian shhok her head from side to side.
"Im fine, I grew up in this neighborhood, I can handle myself.." She came out around the cornor walking normally along the sidewalk, heading in his direction.
" Im not an ametur, or an idiot, I know when to back down on a fight, and how to choose them..."
Serian was just about next to him.
" and it looks like you do too, unlike your mugger..."

Ianthe looked around. She felt lonely. It was the first time she'd felt lonely since he died. At first there was just a dull ache.
She was standing outside her block of flats. They were dingy and dusty and there was a distinct smell of cats. All the better for me and my new life, Ianthe thought grimly. No chance of being robbed in that hell-hole. She began to walk aimlessly down the street. She passed all kinds of people. Thiefs, Druggies, policemen. Suddenly, Ianthe stopped. "Of course! I have to get a job ... why not be a detective of sorts?... Oh, yeah." Her look blackened. "I'm too young."

Ianthe turned to see a man looking at her. She gave him a weak smile, then started towards him. "Excuse me," She asked "You don't know anywhere nice to eat, do you?" Now that she thought about it, Ianthe realized that she was HUNGRY. Really hungry. She hadn't had a bite to eat on the journey to this new place.

"Oh!" Ianthe smiled. "Yes, thankyou - I'm a little new here. I don't really know my way around. I'm Ianthe, by the way. Ianthe Williams."
