It's early in the morning and Chel hates the morning. Except Chris yelled at her to take out the trash because it was mostly filled with her bottles anyways. So now she was walking out to the communal garbage dumpster with a black shiny bag of s**t.
On her way back she did notice a person she hadn't seen before, and Chel made it her business to know most people around Chris' apartment (paranoia, socialite, friendly neighbor).
"Yo," she called on her way back up the stairs. "New or helping someone else move in?"

Shun was dragging in some luggage, with a well worn bag hanging off of his shoulder as well. Hearing someone calling out at him, he just sort of let out a grunt. "I got it," he muttered lowly without looking. He had hoped to just sort of slip in unnoticed, but it was too late for that now. Regardless, he didn't particularly feel like chatting it up with strangers.

Chel took the time to lean in his doorway. "Didn't answer my question though. You sure you got it? Some of that s**t looks heavy."
She crossed her arms with the much-practiced look of someone who wasn't going to take no for an answer. "I got preeettty big biceps."

"I do not have that much s**t in the first place. Go find someone else to try and be the good Samaritan to," he grumbled. With a shake of his head, he still didn't look towards the girl and just set the stuff he had down onto the floor for the time being. He'd have to unpack everything later. For now... he needed to grab a couple more things from his rental.
Finally, he turned around and just tried to brush past the nosy neighbor.

And Chel in very ladylike fashion stuck her leg up against the hallway railing to create a very elegant blockage.
Recognition crept across her face. "Yer movin' in aren't you? They even put you in these shitty apartments?" Chel let out a low whistle. "Harsh."

Shun paused at that wording. It sounded a little too knowing. Turning around, he faced the woman, only to realize that he's seen her before. He wasn't sure how to feel about this.
Grumpy.
"Yeah, well what is it to you?"

Chel worked surprisingly well with grumpy.
She pointed a thumb down three doors from his, a door she knew well. "I live there. Well I don't like live live there, but I'm chillin' there for a while." Which wasn't really accurate either because "crashing on a couch" didn't equate to living in any way shape or form. Such was the life of Chel Craft.
"So why they put you here? There like a mafia boss you gonna bust here?" Chel finally lowered her leg and looked around as though there was an assassin ready to bust out of the wooden frame at any moment.

Shun gave her a long, hard, stare at that comment. Great, he lived right by the chatty one now. This was not really okay. But then again, there wasn't much with his situation that was.
"As if. Only s**t that seems to be happening in this backwater town are rumors that sounds like they came straight from X-files scripts."
A nonbeliever, Shun was.

Chel took a step back down towards the (undoubtedly expensive looking) rental car he had been pulling his bag out of. She was already moving to help him with whatever was left, even if it was small.
All while talking of course.. "Dude I heard there was-" A deadpan serious face, "An alien abduction the other night." She kept the serious act up for a moment or two longer and then burst out laughing, head thrown back. "Nah I'm joshin' ya. People's full of s**t. What kinda stuff you heard?"

Seeing her reach for one of his things, Shun went and tried to swat her hand away.
"I said I did not need help," he stated firmly. Grabbing a box from the trunk, he just sort of scoffed at the mere thought of an alien abduction. Absolutely absurd.
"Fog that spirits people away for one. If anything those missing person cases are more likely to involve some sort of foul-play than supernatural s**t. Makes for a decent story if you buy into that crap, I guess."

Chel did actually hang back and leave his stuff alone, but watched the box carefully in case it slipped. She wouldn't mess with his stuff if he really didn't want it.
Instead she leaned on the side of the car and watched him carry it for a few feet. "I'm guessin' you don't?" she asked him, "Buy into that s**t I mean." She looked back at the apartment. "I dunno if I do. I mean why not, right?"

"I have seen and dealt with some pretty messed up s**t. Blaming it on demons or whatever is just denying how ******** up humanity can be."Shun started back on up the stairs, towards the fourth floor.

From behind him Chel rolled her eyes. That was certainly a melodramatic way to put it. Though she did wonder just what kind of s**t he'd seen. Maybe murders.
"Real deep. So then why the ******** are you here lookin' into it?" she asked him with arms crossed. "You actually scooby doo and want to unmask all the villains?"

"Because I was assigned to do so, what else?" Shun grunted out as he made his way back to his new apartment to set down the box he had been carrying.

"You ... don't get a choice?" This may have come as a shock to everyone, but Chel didn't exactly know the inner workings of the police. All she knew was that Shun had been in New York, and now he was here.
She leaned against the door frame, not wanting to intrude in case he was going back for more and because she didn't want to disturb his space. Chel was surprisingly respectful of personal space. Either that or she was a vampire in disguise and couldn't come in without being invited.
Both plausible.
"You here by yerself or is there a Mrs. Batman hidin' in one of those empty cabinets?"
