TIRED MECHANICAL HEART BEATS UNTIL THE SONG DISAPPEARS
Dumpster diving was like a box of smelly and rather rotten chocolates, you never know what'cha gonna get. You could come across a brand new sound system that had a slight bug in it, or maybe a beaten up compressor that still worked. Heck, one could even find a decent pair of pants in the dumpster! It really was like shopping for free!
Free was right up his ally too! Iriel had a very limited amount of money on his person. He had no idea money went so quickly when it came to finding a decent meal and things to repair his clothing. He was starting to understand that cash was needed for the most basic items. Sadly, it was time to spare the money and dig to his hearts content in all the local dumpters. Thus far, he had been able to locate a nice messenger bag with a broken zipper, a fairly clean tank top and a whole lot of electronic parts! Now, these parts would certainly come in handy as he could use them to fix a few broken things and maybe resell it?
The bionic man wasn't overly certain on how to go about that process but he could figure it out once he got there. Certainly, he could just hand it to someone and get money, right? Isn't that how it sort worked out here in the wide open spaces of Ethea? Maybe if he sold enough he could take a ship back to his homeland. The possibilities were endless! Finding the current dumpster holding no more treasures he went on to the next and started to fling unwanted items from its bowels. Rotten food went one way, trash another, and useless or completely ruined robotic parts where flung over head as if it was nothing but useless paper weights. To be completely honest, he was making quite the ruckus with his adventures in the dumpsters. But he stopped for a moment as he found a sealed bag of potato chips. Curiously, he shook it by his ear and it seemed to sound all right.
It was still sealed so many it meant it was still good to eat? Shaking it again he made a small thoughtful noise before cracking open the bag and peering inside. Smelled all right. Surely, it would taste just as good? Eating a handful of chips he had a rather thoughtful look on his face, shrugged once, and continued his quest all while snacking on the discarded bag of chips.

Today was a good day. "Wait." He thought for a moment then agreed, it was a good day. He looked down behind him, where he knew there was a living, moving kitsune tail, was just a inanimate mockery of a tail, looking okay-ish kinda fake. Right now he was walking down the emptier-than-usual streets, then again- Nah, I'm gonna cut it off there. He blinked again and his features returned in full fuzzy fury. Yea, he was gonna have to watch out for that. Right now he was passing along one of the Alleyways and was on his way home when he heard a clattering of cans and crumpling bags.
Instinctively he moved closer to the wall, gripping the cold stone. Slowly the magi leaned toward the source. Imagine his surprise when he found, an, okay looking man, probably not too much older than he. Kai nearly lost it when the stranger pulled out a dirty chips bag and ate out of it. But he forced himself to halt the bile threatening to spill and after a moment of focus he regained his composure. He wasn't sure what to make of the sight. He wondered about the circumstances that would drive this man to, (what did they call it?), dumpster dive? He mentally shrugged. Kai always wished that he could do something to help, but he never could bring himself to do anything. There was this one time he gave a beggar some money but Jonathan scolded him heavily when they got home. However.... his brother was taking a two week trip to Felici, across the entire country there was no way to scold him. In fact his life had been significantly less stressful after his departure. Well now that he thought about it.
His eyes refocused onto the man. Well, Rune did tell him to leap in. Wouldn't this be the perfect situation? Quite so. But first, just to make sure he wasn't walking into a trap...
The magi scanned the debrised area around the diver, spotting an empty can. Perfect. Directing his focus onto the object it responded to his will. Gently lifting it from the ground, playfully, he lightly tossed it to the back of man. Hiding behind a couple of trash bins of his own, watching for the man's reaction.

TIRED MECHANICAL HEART BEATS UNTIL THE SONG DISAPPEARS
The jingle jangle of objects inside the large dumpster rattled about. Every so often something would be tossed out of the dirty bin. The objects ranged from random parts to more useful things like a pair of shoes. The bionic man seemed to be quite enamored with the contents of the dumpster that he hadn’t taken noticed to someone watching----and possibly being grossed out. Standing from his hunched over position he leaned against the side of the bin while inspecting some kind of weird metal thing. To be honest, Iriel had no idea what it could even be. With brows drawn together he twisted it about in his hands, stopping every so often to take few chips out of the bag.
With a small shrug of uncertainty he casually dropped the item back into the bin. Well, it looked like he might of combed through this bin completely. He didn’t see anything else in it that his attention and thus the man started to climb out of the bin. However, his feet didn’t touch the ground like he had intended them to do. Instead, he felt a sudden and rather surprising pressure, on his back that knocked him off balance. In a moment, Iriel was back into the dumpster with a comical crashing and banging. Confused, he quickly sprang back up and looked around. What was that about?
Scanning the area quickly he didn’t see anyone but he spotted the offending object that crash into him. On the ground below was the trashcan, rolling away. Strange, how did that trashcan reach him like that? He didn’t see anyone around and he knew he didn’t cause it to happened. With a small head tilt he hopped out of the dumpster and moved to squat next to the trashcan. Casually, he reached out and poked the offending object and watched it roll slowly. Now, there was debate on his face as he could easily touch the object to see what had recently caused it to move by viewing the past or he could leave it alone. He wasn’t a fan of using his powers for simple things and it left him defenseless. No, there was no point to view the object.
But still, how did it get to him? His cyber eyes once again combed the area. Should he say something? Hmm. No, instead he shook his head and went to gather his objects that he found. All while keeping an eye over his shoulder every so often.

Kai almost had a heart attack when the diver fell back into the dumpster, but then had to cover his mouth with both hands to keep from laughing and giving away his presence. But gods! He never felt so bad in his life, or laughed so hard that he was crying. Kai’s hysteria abated somewhat when the man crawled out of the dumpster. It was adorable, a little sad, like a puppy. The magi watched carefully as he climbed out and observed the object of curiosity. A pair of eyes in the shadows watching him, calculating. It went on like that for a while. The cyborg prodding the can occasionally and continuing to stare at it. To Kai is was like a strange ritual.
Eventually he saw the man get up and start packing his valuables(?) Kai’s grin weakened a little. He wanted to go and talk to him, he didn’t seem like a bad guy but maybe wait a bit longer? Hm. Maybe just one more test, yea, one more. How would he react if he did… this? Focusing once more on the empty trash bin he very quickly rolled it over to his position. Quietly he opened the lip and entered inside the bin, hiding inside it like a turtle in a shell. It was small, about half his size so he had to crouch. Then slowly under his trash bin protector he moved toward the man, having memorize his position it was relatively easy. ‘A few steps away from the wall then forward.’
While crawling he realized just how dirty this thing is, most of it felt crusty with what he is going to assume is soiled food. Luckily it was dry, he probably would’ve freaked out if it was wet. Though, the crusty food wasn’t the worst thing in there… An empty bin, huh, turns out to be the perfect home for spiders.
Instead of the slow intimidating march he had planned it to be, the kitsune was rolling all over the place, trash bin still stuck around him, as he screamed and tried to escape the dozens of tiny spiders crawling all over him. “HELP! GET THIS- Ack!” He sputtered, trying to spit out what he felt was spiders and webbing out of his mouth. Today was NOT a good day. Oh dear gods thank goodness Jonathan wasn't home.
note: I hope you don't mind just one more chaotic post before things settle down. XD

Clack. Clank. Toss. Clack. Clank. Russel.
Iriel quickly dug through his collected pieces and weeded through them. There was no need to keep something that would prove to be useless to him. While he managed his work he kept one eye open wondering if anything else strange would happen. He was a bit on the paranoid side about being sneaked upon. He had no intention of being caught off guard for a second time.
Thus, when the soft rattlings of a trash can could be heard he peered over his shoulder. He blinked in a bit of confusion as the trash can had stopped moving only to vibrate with trashing. Someone was inside and screaming about...spiders? Curiously, he stood up and approached the can. He stood off to the side with no hint of even assisting the person within the metal chambers. His brows came together tightly with narrowed eyes. He wasn't a fan of the person screaming and asking for help.
The intention of helping them did come to mind but the idea of them trying to sneak up on him canceled out the need to be helpful. Well, helpful in a nicer form at least. With a small grunt the bionic man merely lifted one leg and kicked the can a bit roughly down. If successful, the poor tin can would be sent rolling and quite possibly freeing the individual from inside. If it had failed, well, he would try to kick it again at an arms length and allow the person inside to find their own way out of the can.

“Hey! Are you t-” He stopped abruptly when he realized that there was no longer a trash can covering him. He quickly gathered himself, hiding his tail and illusion-ed his ears to look part of his hair, or tried to at least, it was a subtle effect he hoped the cyborg wouldn’t notice. When he looked back up to the trash diver Kai couldn’t help the chills up his spine. He was rather intimidating, you know, being tall, and that massive scar across his face was terrifying as well… But he it looked good on him. Speaking of faces, the cyborg’s didn’t seem too pleased in fact he looked kinda pissed. Kai chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. By now he had probably figured out that he was the one who threw the trashcan at him.
“So, huh-” Kai started, “Come here often?” He tried for humor but then realized how bad his choice of words were. He grimaced, biting the inside of his cheeks. “Sorry….” The magi would wait to listen to whatever the other man had to say and respond accordingly. He bit the inside of his lip to silence the nerve-racking nervousness constricting his heart.
After the introduction had been settled he would wait for a few moments to gather his thoughts. He had an idea of what he wanted to do, his emotions rolling around his in conscience, each fighting for a say in the decision. The heart won of course, it always did. “You know if you’re looking for something to eat, I could take you to a restaurant? You know, just if you want.” The kitsune looked down, unable to look him in the eyes.
Notes: Kai, don't go inviting strangers to lunch! (Or Brunch? Linner?)

Well, whatever the trashcan was going to say was lost with his kick. Iriel didn’t particularly care what it had to say either. Not with it being a rude metal object that kept whacking him like an annoying mosquito. Really, it should learn better manners. This feeling remained upon seeing who was inside the trashcan. Iriel merely looked down at them with a blank expression. He was unsure on how to handle someone that had been being rather rude. What would Samuel do? Well, for one stare at this person. Good, he had that down pretty good but now what? Should he say something to him?
It appeared the young man had beaten him to words. Blinking a few times, Iriel would then scratch at the side of his head with his bionic arm with thought. ”No?” Was his single reply to the young man. He didn’t come here often, in fact this was the first time he visited this dumpster. Looking over his shoulder he debated on getting his things and heading off to the next gold mine but the smaller male spoke again. Iriel’s steady gaze returned to him.
”Food? Hmm, maybe.” He considered this as he left to return to his dumpster. He took the bag of chips he had been snacking on and returned to Kai. Curiously, he offered him the bag to see if he would like any from it. The chips where still fresh, crispy, and surprisingly delicious. Now, it was up to Kai if he wanted to try the bag of chips a large cyborg had offered to him to try…chips that came from the dumpster. Iriel looked at him dully with some expectation in his cybernetic eyes. He even shook the bag lightly at him in case the poor fellow didn’t understand the offer.
”But, um, why are you throwing things at me? Is it because you want the chips?” he asked with a bit of shyness in his voice.

"Um." He tried when the cyborg started to walk toward the dumpster. What were they- And he was being offered dumpster chips... He stared curiously at the bag. He can't serious right? then Iriel gave the bag a little bounce. Kai looked pleadingly into Iriel's eyes, "Thank you." He said simply. Hesitantly reaching for a single chip in the bag. Pulling one out with his nails and staring at it sorrowfully. If he had listened to his brother he wouldn't be here, eating a dirty chip. Well, worse things have happened before. Kai nibbled at it a bit before, not-quite, swallowing. The crisp edges cutting a little into his throat. He opened his mouth to clarify his original intentions but when he saw Iriel about to say something he closed it promptly.
“Yea sorry about that, I… freaked out.” Kai lied. How could he tell this man, whose puppy dog eyes work better than an actual puppy’s, that he flung a trash can at him for the hell of it, although he meant to control the soda can near by he unconsciously choose the larger can. Huh, hindsight. Now that he thought about it Kai was actually a pretty horrible person. Like, you don’t simply telekinetically toss a trash can on a hippie. Wait, not a hippie. After a moment of observation he decided that Iriel was probably homeless. “It wasn’t about the chips.” Kai shuffles uneasily. “If you want the truth, I wanted to get your attention but, I was kinda scared.” Though this was somewhat more honest he still felt guilty for for what he did. But that guilty changed to curiosity when he thought up an idea to make up for it.
“You see.” Reaching out he would try to place his hand on the other man’s forearm. If he wasn’t stopped, Kai would let his feelings flow between the both of them, with a stretching an easy smile to Iriel he passed his own emotions to the cyborg. His feelings mixing with his and overcoming it. The kitsune would feel a slight amount of embarrassment at the contact, but a slow joy at being allowed to it. If he was denied he would frown but understand. Either way he continues. “I actually need a bit of help with something, but I live alone, and it’s kinda important. Do you wanna lend a hand?”
Notes: (What are you up to Kai?)

Hnn, well this wasn't very good now was it? Iriel knew the feeling of wanting someones attention and not getting it. But he also knew how to avoid someones attention and he was much better at that then the other. But this wasn't about him now was it? This fellow wanted his attention and somehow thought tossing a trashcan at him....he wasn't sure how that was a good idea.
"Oh..." He managed to get out, unsure how to continue this conversation. It was suddenly becoming very awkward. He wasn't prepared for a meeting like this one. While he was pleased to see the other enjoy a chip from his bag it was still awkward. Not sure on how to reassure the man that it was all right, he reached out an arm to pat him on the head. Much like how his Master had done when he did a good job or a sort of comfort.
His hand never made it to his head though. He was intercepted by the touch and all of a sudden he felt things that wasn't his own feelings. The embarrassment and joy was a different feeling but one that was unwelcome. Iriel pulled his arm back after that brief touch and took three steps back. He didn't like that. He had no idea what had just happened. He stared at the man with some understanding on the feelings but none of it made sense to him. Rubbing the arm the other had touched he looked at him confused.
"I don't know." He would eventually say. "That was...weird."

"Oh. Sorry..." He trailed. "Are you okay?" He asked in a low voice. The guilt in the magi's heart peaked when he saw Iriel's frightened expression. His emotion based powers were lacking in familiarity, opposite of his other abilities. Most people didn't take to having their emotions read or manipulated, Kai should've guessed that Iriel wouldn't take his sympathetic magic too well. Damn... Now he feels like an even worse monster. He should invest in the other side of a zero magi's magic. At least he wouldn't freak out any other people.
Immediately he fell to his knees and bowed deeply to the man, arms stretched forward, palms to the ground. "I'm sorry if I did something wrong, I hope you can forgive me." his voice was a whisper and a yell and a plea all at the same time. When he looked up to the man he couldn't bring himself to look at his eyes, probably fearful and disgusted. Slowly he brought himself to a kneeling position and breathed in deeply.
Kai's mind instantly thought to what he could do to make it up to Iriel. Then it occurred to him that he may be overreacting again and it would probably be best to carefully think through his next few moves and probably tone down the theatrics and emotions. Instinctively he moved toward the chip bag and ate a piece without a second thought. His eyes shifting back to the cyborg. "I'm sorry... I'm not really good with talking to others. As you may have noticed I'm alone, like I am most of the time." The kitsune tilted his head to the other man, eyes momentarily falling to the ground in thought. "What about you? Why are you here?"

This was most uncomfortable. He hadn't the faintest clue on how to deal with someone like Kai. Let alone the strange theatrics. It made him feel uncomfortable and awkward. He had never had someone act that way around him or towards him for that matter.
The apologetic bow was another thing he couldn't fathom. Awkwardly, Iriel took to scratching at the back of his head and taking a step back. Remaining silent he would look around and then to his feet. He wouldn't answer the others questions now.
It took him a bit to even get back to being able to figure out what to say when kai finally stood. Moving back to his trash finds he dug through them as a way to occupy himself and clear his overwhelmed mind. "I...am just here. No reason."
Kai Stiel / notes: Iriel is now uncomfortable and doesn't know what to do XD Poor dear.
