baby you can drive my car.

It was pretty interesting listening to the sound of rolling trash cans echoing down the long abandoned streets. It was a hollow sound that stood out all the more in the relative quiet of the old city. In her mind's eye she saw a curious human peeking through the curtains draped in front of one of the windows of the houses that lined the street--what would that human think to see them now? Once upon a time, this was a place of concrete and 'civilisation;' cars wondered past, every Monday morning trash trucks rumbled through and collected waste from the very bins they were pushing along now... certainly they'd never suspect to see their common waste receptacles blossoming into delightful toys for creatures of the wild. It was all pretty preposterous and the thought alone made her laugh somewhat nervously to herself as she ran and danced down the hill. It was kind of uncomfortable to contemplate such a thing... twenty years from now, what would be running down these streets then? Flopping over the bin once it had reached the bottom of the hill and come approximately to a stop, she balanced on her tiptoes and rocked back and forth over the smooth plastic surface before peering around for her companion. He'd caught up to her and she sloppily slid off the trash can and landed on the other side. It was a very awkward manoeuvre but she didn't care. At the mention of food she perked up a bit. Well, Oi've got some treats now, she mentioned, casually gesturing toward her satchel, but they're the kind that make yeh even hungrier the more yeh eat. Plus they make yeh lazy and too happy to hunt. So maybe we oughta bring somethin' down first, if yeh are interested, she offered. She was more than willing to share her goodies--she'd left the Outpost with plenty of kief to hold her over. It was a kind of parting gift from Gale and the rest of her family. So what are yeh up for 'n where do yeh propose to find it? she wondered. So far, she'd mostly gone on small hunting expeditions just beyond the city limits, where squirrels and other small prey were plentiful. Between the two of them, though, they'd need something more substantial. As she hadn't really had a good reason to hunt for deer (or goat or whatever), she hadn't even bothered to look for their regular haunts. It was pretty hard for her to take down something so big by herself, even if she were half-shifted. With Brennt, though, she was confident they could take down something good. It'd be nice to eat to her heart's content for once, most certainly.
