Virgil started to reminisce about the good old days, when musicians were abundant and their songs echoed through the streets. He remembered going to parties and seeing the women in their puffy dresses, their corsets pushing out their bosoms and squeezing their waists into shape. He thought of the men, drinking part of the night away to get the courage to ask the ladies to dance.
Rap.. He chuckled as he compared the music of his past life to this. It was totally different, but he could imagine people dancing to this kind of music. It would probably not be organized, everyone stepping in sync and gliding across the floor. He imagined arms flapping, legs kicking, something as wild and fun as the beat.
When the song ended, Virgil looked out the window and realized they had already reached their destination. Bewildered, he sat in his seat, studying the new scenery before them. "Oh," he said plainly when Cain said they'd have to walk. "That is fine. My legs are just as good as your car." -
(Nice username :D)
Here's a link of da great chicken summoning
Cain nodded. It totally made sense that Virgil would probably have a lot more stamina than a human, but it only just now occured to him. He got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side to let out Virgil as well. "I wonder whether I should go to the barber shop or the thrift shop first," he wondered alloud, mostly to himself.
"I mean, it doesn't have to be either. We can go anywhere you'd like," Cain says to the demon. "There are some food places around here. I know you don't like human food, but there are some stuff I still want you to try. Consider this your tour of the 21st century!" Cain says grandly, holding hims arms out in a swooping fashion.
Cain is actually quite torn. He fears Virgil, this creature of myths and legends that Cain has been taught his whole life is something innately bad and evil. On the other hand, Virgil hasn't done anything crazy or evil and Cain was also taught that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. How can two life teachings be so controversial? Not to mention that the bible was full of controversies as well. What was Cain to believe .. he sighed as he cleared his thoughts away. For now he would focus on adjusting Virgil to this undoubtedly confusing future world. -

& thank again)
Virgil unbuckled his seat belt and rose from the spot, ducking his head to avoid hitting it against the door frame. He studied Cain's face for a moment as he stepped out completely.
"You're the one who knows this area, so I believe that you should be the one to choose where we go." Virgil gave him a soft smile. "We can check out the food places, if that is what you wish.. We have all of the time in the world today. Let's make use of it."
Cain wasn't the kind of person that Virgil expected to be summoned by. He was too innocent, too peculiar.. It made Virgil feel almost guilty, knowing that his thirst for chaos would likely ruin the poor boy. He looked away, crossing his arms and sighing. He couldn't afford to let this human's nature rub off onto him. If he did, he'd likely lose sight of his end goal; and what kind of a demon would he be if he spent his month on earth being nothing more than a human's pet, like a cute little puppy dog? He grimaced at the thought, hoping Cain wouldn't notice. -
(I'm also putting this link here because I leep losing it)
Cain did notice the grimace but he decided not to ask about it. It was in his nature to be observant, but that didn't mean he was nosey. "Ah, well, not all the time but we can kill a few hours," Cain says. He definitely wants to put off going to the barber, so that left either food or clothes. They just had breakfast so Cain decides that they could probably check out some clothing stores.
"Let's check out Bentley's first, it's closest. It's a thrift shop like I was telling you about earlier," Cain says as they start their short journey on the sidewalk. He begins to raise a hand to intertwine it with Virgil's, but once Cain realizes what he was doing he rigidly let his hand drop into his pocket, hoping Virgil didn't notice.
Was Cain losing his mind? It was almost innate how he had tried to hold Virgil's hand. Cain searched his brain for a reason on why he would want to anyway, but couldn't find one. Yep, definitely insane. Cain tried to put his mind on something else again, like what kind of clothes they would get. It would all have to be for Virgil of course since he had nothing to wear. He wondered what kind of style Virgil would be into, probably something punkish. If they got punkish things though, would Cain's family question their made-up story? Cain didn't want to limit Virgil's first 21st century shopping trip, so he decided no to bring it up. -
beepbeepmouse Newbie(Omg I almost forgot about that)
Virgil snorted when Cain pointed out that they only had a few hours to spend exploring the new world. He wanted to make a comment that this next month would feel like an eternity and that they most certainly did have all of the time, but he decided against it. Best not to frighten the human while he still had an ounce of innocence left.
"Ah, yes," Virgil said, eagerly following Cain. "The thrift shop. I cannot wait to see what kind of clothing we will obtain in this establishment~." The demon let out a noise that sounded like an odd purr, and he swayed a bit with each step.
From the corner of his eye, he saw what appeared to be a hand reaching out for him. Virgil's eyebrow quirked, and he turned his head just slightly to look at the boy. He could tell from the look on Cain's face that he was having some sort of internal conflict. As for what, Virgil couldn't figure it out. Oh, how he wished he could read the human's mind now- he really needed to change the contract so he could use his magic up front. Being so clueless and powerless was absolutely miserable for poor Virgil. -
They reached Bentley's, and a little bell clanged as they entered the thrift shop. "Hi Bentley!" Cain calls out loudly, though he doesn't see Bentley in his line of sight, he knows he's there because he's always there. Bentley, an oldish African American man with a small gray beard and a mane of wild gray hair, appears from under the counter. "'That you, Cain?" Bentley asks with squinted eyes.
"Yes sir, and I've brought a .. friend," Cain says hesitantly.
"I guess there's a first time for everything," Bentley says with a wicked grin.
"Ha-ha," Cain says sarcasticly, "Sir, can you point me to the 'cool' section?" Cain asks.
"Finally letting loose, I see. I knew I'd make a rockstar out of you eventually," Bentley says as he points to the far left side of the shop.
"Bentley organizes this place a bit differently. While most stores go by size or by gender or something like that, he goes by style. I usually go to what he calls the 'goody two shoes church sunday' section," Cain explains to Virgil. "Can one of youboys help me find my spectacles?" Bentley asks. -
beepbeepmouse NewbieUpon entering the shop, Virgil could sense that there was something off about the space they were in. As Bentley came into view, the demon realized that the old man had a rather peculiar aura about him; it reminded him of his old flame, he realized after a moment of thought. But this man couldn't harm him. After all, he was only human, and Virgil would soon have the force of an entire human army and then some. There was nothing to worry about.
When Cain introduced Virgil as his "friend," he smiled, relaxing his shoulders and politely nodding in Bentley's direction. He had to stile a laugh as he listened to their exchange about the clothing sections.
"Goody two shoes seems very fitting, Cain," Virgil said with a small chuckle. "I can't imagine you wearing anything else.." He trailed off, blinking at the old man's request. "Allow me, sir," he said, walking towards the counter while keeping an eye on the floor in front of him in case the glasses had somehow made their way onto the customer's side. -
"I'm not a goody two shoes! I let loose every once in a while," Cain argues. "..I mean, you're here after all," Cain says to the demon with a smirk. With that he walks towards the shelves to check out some accesories.
"How did you know that my friend was a boy if you don't have your glasses?" Cain asks Bentley as he absentmindedly fiddles with the hats on the shelves. Bentley laughs and whispers something to Virgil, with Cain out of earshot.
Bentley says to Virgil, "That boy there has only ever brought one specific girl with him, and that ended as quickly as it started. I don't think he ever really liked her, if you get my gist. You might have a chance though, I'm rooting for ya!"
"Hey, what's this?" Bentley reaches behind Virgil's ear, and then pulls out his glasses as if by magic. "My spectacles! Thanks, lad!" -
beepbeepmouse NewbieVirgil chuckled, grinning at Cain's weak attempt to make a witty retort. "Uh-huh," he said, shaking his head as he smiled towards the ground. "That's definitely proof of your manliness.."
The demon was still looking intently for the glasses as Bentley leaned over and whispered to him. He froze, partially out of surprise and partially to focus. At the mention of a girl, Virgil's eyebrows perked up. And then at the mention of him 'rooting' for the demon, he covered his mouth and grunted, turning to look at Bentley.
Before he could fully process the commentary, Bentley whipped out his glasses out of thin air. Fascinated, the demon slowly lowered his hand, staring at the old man with a childish awe. "Oh, you little.." He trailed off, unsure of how to respond. He ended up laughing, bending over slightly and closing his eyes as his laugh became rather deep and genuine. "Absolutely brilliant!" Virgil exclaimed through his laughter. -
(I'm l i v i n g for Virgil's laughter. I love him. I love my boys.)
When Bentley doesn't asnwer him about the boy thing, he says "Bentley you had better not be telling him weird stuff!" Cain calls from the section he's in. He is surprised by the sudden sound of laughter, so he walks over to see why Virgil was laughing, it sounded so.. human? Cain couldn't think of a better word, it seemed to be on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't quite remember the word..
Cain looks at the predicament, Bentley seems to have pulled the glasses trick again. Cain smiles. He could only imagine Virgil's reaction, he wished he'd been there to see it. "Bentley, cut him some slack, he's new here," Cain says.
"New schmew! Can't and old man have a little fun? Haven't felt this young in years," Bentley says, then he ruffles Cain and Virgil's hair. "You boys go on and find your hip new clothes. I think it's too early for anyone to be here yet so you have the store to yourselves," Bentley gives Cain a subtle wink and then he does a slight head tilt to Virgil as if saying 'you two can be all alone'. Cain blushes, he doesn't know what Bentley is trying to pull, but it makes his heart flutter.
