[i]Dojo Gates[/i]
The people of Dojoville and members of the Dojo rushed inside their homes, covering themselves and gaining shelter from what was about to come...
A big f**kton of snow and wind, or in other words, a blizzard. Most were inside and warm, or bundled up in clothes to the point where they looked like Michelin Men. Few walked the streets as snow quickly carpeted the Earth, burying everything. No one dared to walk outside at this point, but one unlucky creature was unfortunately forced to...
"How much further until I get there..."
[i]"Approximately 2 feet."[/i]
The computer informed Falei, just before she ran into the cold, steel gates. Looking up, the creature brushed snow from the fur on her snout and spread her blue wings.
"I think I can make this...easy."
Flying upwards, she soared above the top of the gates and flew across the city to the main part of the Dojo, quickly dashing inside and falling against the wall in a mix of relief and exhaustion.
Falei brushed off a bit of snow that was on her head before taking off her chilled armor covering her arms and torso, leaving the rest to stay on her body while she warmed up. Underneath all the plating was a simple tight black t-shirt and dogtags with bullet holes in them hanging from her white fur-covered neck.
Falei was at her destination, smiling that she could finally rest after hours of trudging through the snow.

[spoiler]i was told by a member that I could go OVER the walls. So don't say anything about that.[/spoiler]

Quincy peeks at her from a nearby doorway. He looked rather different than usual. Instead of his normal, cheery, overly enthusiastic expression, he looked a little depressed. A physical difference was that he had a scar on his muzzle. The fur had been singed away for the time being and a red scar could be seen across his face. Part of his left ear was also missing, similar burns around the tip. His right ear flicked around as he looked at her, tilting his head. "Uhm...hello." he said.
-
Falei looks up at him, smiling and waving. "Hey there." Quincy noticed that her entire right arm was blue and robotic, standing out completely from the rest of her body, as it's covered in white and grey fur.
-
A small, and i mean small, smile appears on his face. "H-hi..You look cold.." he says, noting that she just flew in from a pretty violent snow storm. "Th-there's hot chocolate in the cafeteria..you know..if you can h-have hot chocolate.." He seemed shy, which was new, but she was new, and i suppose she wouldn't know that this was unusual for him.
-
"Oh, thanks." She looks at all of his scars, and notices the way he's acting. After putting it together she assumes that the way he's acting was brought up by something else. "Hey uh, you okay there?"
-
"Y-y-yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?" he says, his right ear twitching again. He's quiet for a few seconds before closing his eyes, holding back tear. He sighs, wiping his eye. "N-no...Im not.."
-
"Oh...what's wrong? Did something happen..? She asked in a very soft voice, stepping towards him with a worried expression on her face.
-
He sighed, shaking a little, stepping out from behind the doorway, wearing a white sleeveless tunic and a pair of white wool shorts. The fur on his arms was fluffed to keep him warm, as well as his legs. She noticed another scar on his right arm, around his shoulder. Similar scars were on his neck and collarbone. "A friend of mine was killed recently...murdered...And another is probably paralyzed for some time..." he said, shaking a little.

"Oh...sorry to hear that. I can relate, actually...my parents were killed by terrorists and my brother went missing some time ago..."
-
He rubbed his arm, a little uncomfortable. He didn't have any actual family, as half of him was grown in a lab. How he had a soul was beyond his understanding. "S-so...s-still up for that h-hot chocolate?" he asked. He looked lonely. (but do keep in mind, he is engaged).
-
(I know he is) "Yeah, sure. Sounds like a great way to warm up." She gives a warm and friendly smile, wanting to cheer him up. Falei hates seeing people depressed, especially when it's supposed to be a cheerful time.
-
He nods, smiling a little. "C'mon, it isn't far." he says, walking to the cafeteria.
-
Falei grabs the rest of her armor and weapons, following him while brushing snow off her fur. "So, what's your name?"
-
"I-im Quincy Arktis Frost, but most people call me Quincy, or Frost. Whichever you prefer, i r-respond to b-both.." he said, his gait a little uneven.
-
"Okay. That's a cool name, by the way. I like it." Falei smiled, remembering how nice it was to just casually talk to someone, even in the current circumstances.
-
"S-so...what's your name?"
-
"I'm Falei, the weirdest hybrid ever."
-
He giggles a little. "You dont look too weird..." he said.
-
"I've got a wolf head, horns for some reason, and wings. Dragon type wings. Now I don't know who my grandparents or great grandparents were, but dear god did they do some weird shit."
-
He laughed a little, smiling a bit more. "Well, at least you have/had grandparents." he said, opening the door to the cafeteria.
-
"Huh? What do you mean? You don't have any?" What Quincy said was a weird statement to come from anyone. She didn't think there was anyone without a family, even in the whole universe.
-
"I more or less came out of a laboratory. I mean, my original self probably had grandparents, but they're long dead by now. C'mon, dont want the hot chocolate to be gone when we get there." he said, motioning for her to walk through the open door.
-
"Definitely not." She steps through the doors and takes a big wiff of the chocolate. Her powerful nostrils smelled the drink quite strongly. "Smells great!"
-
"Thanks! I made it myself. C'mon." he says, stepping in after her and walking to a big thermos-like jug with a nozzle. He puts a mug under and and pours her a cup. "Here ya go." he says, holding it up to her.
-
"Thanks!" Falei says with a smile, taking the cup and taping another wiff. She then sips it, quite slowly. "Mmm, I haven't tasted hot chocolate like this in forever!"
