Cherri finished her coffee, then stood up and tossed her cup in the trash.
(Are our characters going to meet somehow, or…?)

Veda shook her head slowly and tossed the cup into the trash. She began walking down the sidewalk to her apartment, only being a few blocks away. As she walked, she counted up the tips that she was given, huffing in an annoyed manner. She stuffed the bills into the pocket of her jeans and continued the short walk.
Gavin kicked his leg over his bicycle, preparing himself for the light to turn green. The digital device on the other side of the street counted down. 5….4….3….2…1… He pushed off the curb and began peddling, trying to make it across the street as fast as he could. He counted the seconds it took him to get across. 1…2…3…4..ha! That's a new record!
(I’m sure they will at some point.)
(Yes they will, maybe at some kind of disaster. I'm thinking… Demons slip through to Earth and wreak havoc?)
(M'kay.)
Going the direction she had come from, Cherri walked back to her house, still quietly humming love songs.
Riding his bike along, Zadkiel could smell hints of smoke, ozone, and sulphur… Familiar… He rode on, the smell increasing.
Gavin shook his head, cursing under his breath. I have got to stop doing that… He rode down the street, unsure exactly where he was going.
Veda walked up to the complex, relieved to only live on the first floor. She walked up to her door, fumbling with the keys and her bag. She unlocked the door, pushing it open with her hips and stepping inside.
When she had run out of love songs to hum, Cherri started humming the soundtrack for The Greatest Showman. She was almost home, just a couple of blocks away, now.
(oml I love The Greatest Showman!)
(oml I love The Greatest Showman!)
(XD I knew I'd get a similar response from at least one person!)
David was hiding in a bush. This was normal for him. He just couldn't risk being seen by… her. Ugh, that vixen! She kept following him. Why? I am attractive, he admitted to himself, managing to smile vainly even as he sat in the prickly lilac bush. Then he caught a glimpse of bubblegum-pink hair and ducked.
Was it her?
He peeked through the leaves even as the branches scratched and poked his skin. She was facing him—he breathed a sigh of relief. Not the same person. She was walking past, humming a tune that David found familiar, but what it was from escaped him at the moment.
David heard a few more bars and—
"The Greatest Showman!" David clapped a hand over his mouth. Whoops.
Alex was wandering around the city, as a little black cat. Slightly annoying yet, but better this than a demon. She heard a girl humming something. The sound was soothing so the little black cat followed her.
Gavin turned his bike and began riding down an unfamiliar street.
Veda stroked her grey cat upon entering her apartment. She changed out of the rest of her work clothes before heading back out to her car with a grocery list. She soon pulled her car up to the parking lot of a grocery store. When she got out, there was an odd smell in the air. She shook off the uneasy feeling, telling herself that someone was most likely just burning something as she walked across the lot.
(Okay, I'm really sorry, but I have a 1000-word paper due tonight, and I only have about 112 words so far, so I really need to work on it…)
(alright good luck!)
(Yes, get on that…)
(I understand go, and be free. Simply to slave away.)
(You guys wanna wait for Sor?)
Sure. I don't mind. :)
(Fine by me)
(I'm back! Gosh, it took me forever to write that stupid paper…)
Cherri jumped at a voice shouting, "The Greatest Showman!" and looked around for the source.
Alex also heard someone shout and they scared her so much she jumped and turned back into a human. Alex thought quickly as she managed to land on her feet. The girl that was humming seemed to be looking around, probably for the source. Alex froze and tried to remain as still as possible so the girl wouldn't notice her.
(Did I forget to mention that he's Scottish?)
David winced, and ducked lower into the bush, but he knew she had heard him. Please keep walking, please keep walking, he prayed. He peeked through the branches. She was looking around, probably wondering who had yelled the name of the film. I am the stupidest idiot ever.
Had his breathing always been this loud? He wished it wasn't. The leaves of the bush seemed to rustle and rattle at the smallest movement. He adjusted his footing. Snap, went a stick under his knee.
Dammit. He tried not moving. If he could just get his foot out… almost…
He lost his balance and came tumbling out of the bush and onto the sidewalk. His head thumped against the concrete, and he found himself staring up at the girl with the bubblegum hair. He tried for a smile and tried to come up with a believable excuse. "Hi. I was just… ehm…" His mouth tried to form a sentence. "Ehm… trimming… watching… uhm… the bush was trimming—I was trimming—watching—the watch—the bush! No, sorry, I wasn't—damn."
Gavin hopped off his bike and leaned it against the side of the brick building. He sat down on a bench nearby and took out his camera. Every day he would go around town and take pictures of random things he found. Today, a group of people that looked a little older than him were standing around. Well, one was lying on the ground.
A man with brown hair fell in front of Cherri and started babbling off excuses while she just watched him in amusement. She laughed and stuck her hand out, offering to help him up.
"It's okay, really," she assured him with a smile.
David's stream of excuses stop short as he stared at the extended hand and blinked, feeling like more of an idiot than ever. He felt somewhat relieved that she'd just laughed at his rambling instead of interrogating him. "Oh." He awkwardly took the hand and hauled himself up. She was close. A little too close.
David, for lack of anything to do, ran his hands through his hair to comb out the leaves, smiling weakly. There was a silence. David again felt the need to explain himself—and thank her. "I need—er—I mean, thanks, I was just—I mean, what I was… something… I was doing the bush… trimming… yeah… ehm." He sniffed again. This time, his face wrinkled in confusion. Smoke?
"Can you smell that?" he asked. "Something's burning."
