It was a bright and sunny day, as far as halloween was concerned, and the canine couldn't have looked more dark if he tried. Dark circles under his bright red eyes and a frown that would even make the Mona Lisa cry. Though if one was to read the monsters thoughts they would find that he was pondering about homework. Neil did not dislike that he had home work at all. He just always looked like he was about to cut some one.
Onward he went with his home work tucked in his pocket. The biggest worry he had was finding a partner. He'd thought about maybe asking Lizzy or even Pepin but he'd been in such a hurry out of class that he hadn't gotten any of their contact information. Neil wasn't about to hunt either of them down like a creeper around campus.
Ah well, maybe he'd run in to them or something. Speaking of running, a purple haired boil caught the corner of his eye. He was running with... something in his hands? There were loud voices after him. Neil came to a stop and turned to face the situation with out even thinking to get out of the way.

"All I did was pick some flowers, you jackers!" Roch bellowed over his shoulder, the flowers in question held tightly in his hand. He wasn't going to lose them now!!
"From private property!" one of the butler guys chasing him yelled back. "Stop! Thief!!"
"Oh bite me you dicks!" Roch bellowed, still almost backwards as he ran forward. He didn't even realize there was someone right in front of him--until he ran straight into him.

One moment the canine was watching impending doom come his way not doing anything to get out of the way, the next moment the purple haired boil was on top of him. The voices were coming closer too. Neil just laid there like a useless sack of potatoes for a moment trying to understand what was happening.
But the voices were coming closer and closer. And the canine felt the urge to run!
"If I were you... I'd get off me and start running..." The voices were even closer now. Neil was already starting to wiggle his way free from under Roch.

"Dude, you don't gotta tell me twice," Roch said, standing--
Then he was gone, disappearing from view as if he had teleported. The butler that had been chasing Roch stopped, looking around blankly, then pointing at Neil. "Are you a friend of that punk? An accomplice? WHERE DID HE GO?"

d**k! That was all Neil could think when the reaper disappeared on him leaving him with the butler. Usually, Neil was the kind to think things through and even explain his actions. But not this time, he was so angry at being left with the butler, he got up and started running him self flipping off the butler in the process.
Wait until he found that purple haired b*****d! He hopped another fence and slid down a stair railing the way one might on a skate board. Then he turned another corner.

The butler was right on his tail, shockingly spry. Something fell from the rooftop of the building he'd just passed, crashing onto the butler's head. A purple mohawk peeked over the edge, followed by the rest of the punk's head as he looked at the monster boil. "Thanks!" he called with a wave, before flipping off the roof, kicking off the wall of the building next to it, and landing on the ground.
Then he looked up at the roof. "Jack am I glad that worked this time," he said.

Well the butler was knocked out, it would seem. Neil had actually been surprised when something came crashing down from above and even let out a little Arrrrffffff sound. Still, his tail was not wagging when Roch reappeared. But what was new? Neil usually looked like the world was going to s**t on a regular basis.
He wanted to make a comment about it working THIS time and something or other about the other times but really.. Neil didn't want to seem like a whiny b***h. So he held his tongue.
"Habit ?" He asked dryly pointing to the butler. To his credit, Roch HAD come back.

"Oh, no, that wasn't what I was worried about not working," Roch said. "You hit ANYBODY with one of those jackin' rock statue things they got up there, they ain't wakin' for a while--well, except for a few people, but not him," he said. "What could have not worked was that jackin' shadow step," he said, walking over to the butler and rifling through his pockets.
He pulled out the guy's wallet, looking at the information inside for a bit before closing it and shoving it back into the man's pockets. Then, almost absently, he reached down, checking for a pulse. "Eh, he's still alive," he said with a shrug, getting to his feet. "But NOW is the time to run," he said, breaking into a run.

Neil could only watch with a mild interested look resting on his face as the punk actually took the wallet and put it back. He even checked for a pulse. When he explained now was the time to run Neils brow went up. But he didn't question it since it seemed Roch had a knack for this sort of ... thing.
Still, he was slightly annoyed to be dragged in to what ever was going on. Neils long lengthy legs aided him in keeping up with Roch.
"What you steal any ways?" He looked down at the purple haired boil. What ever it was it better be worth while for all of THIS work.

"Didn't steal a thing!" Roch said. "That guy was just bein' a d**k. I was just gettin' a few flowers to take with me to visit a friend of mine," he added, holding up the black roses for the other boil to see. "Because I figure I'm a bit late in checkin' up on her."
They reached the main street and Roch slowed down into a casual stroll, blending into the crowd as if he'd been there all along. "They sure are cool lookin, though," he said, looking at the roses. "No wonder there was that gigantic plaque in front of them."

Neil almost stopped in his tracks but didn't. He was slightly fearful what else might be chasing them.
"Seriously? FLOWERS?" The reaper got a disapproving look from Neil. "At least their for a ghoul." He muttered. It was a noble cause but not so noble that one needed to knock some one out. Roch was pretty hard core though to go that length to get a ghoul flowers. Neil would never admit it , but part of him admired Roch for the effort.
"Flowers aren't cool." He muttered and rolled his eyes. There was a fire escape up ahead, Neil grabbed the hold of the ladder and started on up toward the roof, it seemed being high up might be to their advantage. Or just at least his.

"Where you goin, man?" Roch asked. "That'll just DRAW attention," he said, slipping the roses into his backpack and still walking. He even waved to someone that called out to him, shoving his hands into his pockets when he was done. "Now's time to go back to school."
He would have explained that he hadn't knocked the guy out because of the flowers, he'd knocked the guy out because he'd been so intent on following him. He'd met guys like that before, they just wanted someone to shove in front of them so their bosses wouldn't fire them. Roch did NOT need to be someone's scapegoat right now, he had enough trouble as it was.

Neil lifted a brow downward at Roch. Was this guy for real? Well, he had just saved him even though he'd caused the problem that he'd saved him from. Neil slid down the ladder and hopped down when he was close enough to the ground.
"Back to school, yeah." He scratched the back of his head. "Yeah that sounds good," He looked over his shoulder a bit paranoid.

"Don't look around too much," Roch instructed quietly. "We're doin' nothing wrong. Hell we really DIDN'T do anything wrong, other than knocking that guy out--and believe me, that rock was going to fall whether I'd been there or not!" Probably not for another hundred years or so, but it would have fallen!
"What's your name?" Roch asked, changing the subject. "I'm Roch. I think I saw you in acting class, right?"

Neil nodded, that rock was going to fall. Everything fell sooner or later. The logic actually made since to the canine.
"Yeah we had acting class together. I'm Neil." He didn't ask for the others name. Usually other people offered on their own. "My partner was that pink haired cute chick."
