Crash was simply walking down a ssidewalk, his arms crossed as a few people carefully stayed OUT of his way, as the Tasmanian Devil glared at them.
He was obviously in a bad mood... why? For him, it didn't really matter.

 However, not EVERYONE was staying out of his way, as a rather odd girl, staring directly up at the sky as she walked, bumped directly into him. Odd in that, for one, she was improperly dressed, odd on the second count in that she appeared to be a species generally thought to be extinct. Of course, both these things seemed to bother her none. Instead, she simply blinked in confusion at the devil, expression lightly surprised from having ran into him. "Oh... excuse me..." And then she moved to continue on her merry way, once again looking upwards. |

Crash seemed stunned for a moment, then that quickly turned to anger.
Member of an endangered species or not, he was gonna beat the stuffing out of this... His anger was suddenly, and immediately defused as something VERY important clicked...
WHERE WAS THIS CHICK'S PANTS?
"Oi! Hold it. I think you left home with only half yer clothes on..." The Devil growled, and rather than waiting for the echidna to stop, simply reached out and grabbed her by the back of her top, lifting her off the ground.

Completely lifted off the ground or not, the echidna's legs continued to walk for a few moments, until it seemed to sink in that she wasn't going anywhere. She blinked again in confusion, this time at the devil's commentary. "This is less then half my clothes... why should I wear all my clothes at once? It'd get very hot and itchy..." |

Crash blinked at the question, it taking a moment for him to come up with an answer.
"Pants. You need pants, or something to cover... yer lower half. Yer indecent!"
And it's really distracting... and people are staring. A soft growl escaped Crash as he looked over at a few pedestrians who had stopped to stare at this half-naked girl he was suspending by the back of her shirt. And, of course, those gazes focused on him, as well.

Crash... just blinked. He wasn't sure how to respond to this, so looked at the various pedestrians, before letting out a roar, scaring them all off.
"Stupid humans..." Crash then turned his attention back to the echidna in his grip, the situation now only SLIGHTLY less awkward.
"We're getting you pants." With that, the devil set Lilli down, and proceeded to walk off...

Having been set back down onto the ground, the echidna girl took a few tentative steps (just in case the ground wasn't what it seemed, of course, but it was just like she'd remembered it so there were no problems). "We're getting you pants." She blinked again as he began to walk off, then waved. "Oh, okay. Good luck." And then he turned and began to walk off into the opposite direction. |

It took Crash a moment to realize that the girl was going the wrong way, and once he did, turned around, once again picking the echidna up by the back of her shirt, and began carrying her the way he'd been headed.
"Pants are THIS way, girl."

More confused blinking. This guy was very strange. "I thought you were going to get your friends?" |

Post by The Huggernaut on Aug 26, 2007 19:32:12 GMT -5
Crash simply froze, his eyes slowly turning to this... obviously brain-damaged girl.
"By 'we', I meant US. Now... Come on." His patience, already worn rather thin, was dangerously close to the breaking point now... and he had a feeling this day was only gonna get worse.
Yet this girl is still better than that PETA woman. Crash shuddered at the memory of that psycho, still carrying Lilli.

Being carried around didn't seem to bother the girl too much, and neither did the devil's terse tone, instead, she just replied rather thoughtfully- "... can we really be friends when we've just met? ... My name is Lilli, hello. What's your name?" |

Crash, while still walking, seemed to have a mental breakdown for a second, as the question he'd been asked hit him.
"Ok, Lilli... My name is Crash, ok? Will you walk WITH me now, or do I get to carry you the whole way?"

"Okay, we can be friends now." she tilted her head to the side as she thought. Mostly wondering why Crash's mother would name him after something that generally caused trauma. But the latter part of what he said was also pondered in passing. "Well, if you want to carry me, I guess you can..." Though why he wanted to be able to do that, she couldn't fathom. Maybe it had something do with his name... |

Crash blinked, then simply put Lilli down, showing a remarkable self control... since he hadn't attempted to SPIKE the girl into the sidewalk.
And then, rather than speaking, he just motioned for her to follow him, and continued walking.
Who did I piss off to deserve this? WHO!?

Lilli, still lost in thought about Crash's name, followed silently, looking down at the sidewalk as she did. And then she got off track and started counting the cracks. |

Crash glanced back, and noticed the girl's sudden fascination with the sidewalk, and narrowed his eyes, growling again to himself.
"Yo, Lilli! Try to keep up, or else ya might get lost! You don't look like yer from around here, and I have a feeling I'D have to find you if you got lost.

Post by Raki on Aug 26, 2007 19:57:11 GMT -5
"Oh, I don't need to worry about getting lost." She nodded slightly as she said this, eyes still glued to the sidewalk. Of course, why she didn't need to worry about getting lost she didn't divulge. |

"Whatever." Crash just shrugged, and kept walking.
Why do I have a feeling my day is gonna get a LOT worse before it gets any better...?

Apparently the echidna girl found no need to reply to that, instead continuing to walk with her eyes cast downwards. To any onlookers, it may of appeared that she was very, very depressed. And pantless. They'd probably notice that first. |

Crash himself was a little lost in thought, until he noticed they'd walked past a costume store, and in the window... was a dress, in a similar style to what Lilli was wearing.
Huh. Maybe my luck is looking up. The devil turned to Lilli, snapping his fingers to get her attention.
"Yo. Would you wear that?" This comment, of course, was accompanied by Crash pointing at the dress in question.

The girl, who was currently crouched down picking up a copper coin, glanced up at the window. "No one wears windows." With that, she stuck the coin in her boot and stood back up. |

Crash's eye twitched as he resisted the urge to put Lilli through the window, then, surprisingly calmly to anyone who knew him, pointed through the window to the dress.
"Behind the window. Would you wear that dress?" A vein was visibly bulging in the devil's forehead as he closed his eyes, starting to get a headache.

Having successfully secured the coin, the echidna girl joined Crash by his side, gazing through the window for a moment before clasping her hands together. "...oh, it's pretty... if I had a dress like that, I'd wear it." She nodded as she stated the last part. |

Crash glanced at the echidna, then at a nearby mailbox, nodding to himself.
"Issat so?" In what seemed to be a practiced move, the devil strode over to the mailbox, ripped it free of the sidewalk, then threw it through the window.
As the alarms for the store went off, Crash stepped into the window, taking the dress off its display, and stepping back out, handing it to Lilli.
"There ya go... And now we leave. You a good runner?"

Lilli's face brightened slightly when the dress was placed in her hands. But only ever so slightly. And, to Crash's question, she looked up, smiled slightly more, and happily stated... "No." |

Post by The Huggernaut on Aug 26, 2007 20:27:58 GMT -5
Crash, seeming to simply accept this as a fact of his life by now, scooped up Lilli in his arms, stating simply, "Hold onto that dress."
And, as his skates activated, the Devil was off, his echidna passenger along for the ride.

 Off, yes. For long? No. No sooner had the duo rounded a corner did Crash slam into someone who had also seemed to be as equally distracted as Lilli was. Unlike Lilli, this stranger's daze didn't last for long. He let out a started shriek as the trio toppled into the concrete with a loud metallic clang. Stunned silence. "WHY DON'T YOUSE WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING YA BIG--Oh, hi Lilli--PALOOKA?!" pause. "Wait. LILLI?!" |

Lilli peeked from under one of Crash's now displaced limbs. "Hi Coconuts! I found a lucky coin today. How are you today?" He paused, then glanced at the devil. "This is my new friend, Crash. He's very nice, he got me this dress." At this point she lifted up the dress, though with some difficulty as with the crash it had gotten a bit... tangled up. |

Crash narrowed his eyes, standing as he set Lilli to the side, as a VERY loud growl escaped him.
He seemed to ignore Lilli as he stooped down, and simply lifted Coconuts up to be level with his near-snarling face.
"What. Did. You. Call. Me?"
