"Oh, umm. N-no It's fine" He said while standing up. he looked at the dog in front of him for a small second. "So are you, uh, new around here also" He ask Rex, with his tail slightly wagging. The fact that he actually met someone by simply running into a wall made him happy.

Rex smiled "I sure am, friend! Me and my Dad just arrived, and I decided to go for a walk, why he and the movers are moving up the stuff." He looked at the other shepherd "I can guess by your question that you're new here as well, yes?"

Yeah, we just finish unpacking not that long ago. We live over on Oak Street. So, how much of the town have you seen?" He asked while staring at his hands fiddling with his fingers. He still wasn't used to being very social but he felt somewhat, okay with talking at this moment.

Tia enters the store, and starts to look around at books that interest her.

Rex scratched the back of his head "Not much actually, half the street We live in and only 2 block of this one here, until this accident." the German shepherd fixed the guitar on his back "I was looking for someplace with more green, like a park so I can sit down and play some music, or look for a nice place to have a drink."

Well, I saw a Cafe while my dad and I were going to our house to unpack our stuff. Wanna go see if it's open? Or maybe if you wouldn't mind if I tagged along and listened to you play? He looked at the German Shepard hopping up and down with an anxious excitement.

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 2:08 pm

Rex laughed heartily "I'm game for both. Hope they have something to eat in that Cafe. I'm starving!" he patted the hopping dog on the shoulder "Lead on!"

With that Albert took Rex's paw and started running as fast as he could down the street. It wasn't that much later that he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Well I guess its more of a pizza shop, but if they're prices aren't too high I have fourty dollars to spend." He looked at the pizza shop for a minute, then he looked at back at Rex. "Well I'm hungry let's go inside and check it out."

He said while walking toward the pizza shop.

Gordie's was almost empty, a rather surly looking man sat in the corner munching on a slice of pizza. Gordie stood up and set down his copy of Sports illustrated, a smile lighting up the big man's face, Afternoon guys! welcome to Applegate.

"I suppose helping couldn't hurt." or more precisely, helping now may give me a bargaining chip for later.

"Y-you should probably do this one Rex. I-I'm not too good with ordering stuff anyways." As he said as he handed his fourty over to Rex.

Rex glanced at the money and pushed them back to Albert "Take them back, Pizza's on me this time."

"Hello, there, and thanks for the welcoming!" he said as he walked to the counter "Hello, two pizzas for me and my buddy." he pointed towards Albert

that'll be about 10 minutes little buddy, what do you want on 'em?

Rena looked at the piece of white chocolate dumbfounded. "Do y'all really think right now's the time ta give sweets?" She asked, before shaking her head and saying "Ya know what, forget it. Thank you for helpin' a stranger folks. Now I'm gonna go in, and if you're helping, I'd expect y'all to follow." Before she walked into the shop, giving a nod of 'thank you' to the corgi as she walked by him.

She called out to the people who were in the store a couple of times saying "People!" Without grabbing enough attention to clear out the shop. after the third or fourth time she walked over to the register, entered a password to make the system start working, and started using the intercom setup throughout the shop. "Alright, I'm sorry people, but the store was supposed to be closed for lunch break. Please put back all books where y'all found them and proceed to exit the shop. Thank y'all kindly." She said over the intercom, watching heads turn and roll back in a displeased sort of way.

Janus' ears went down. "Did I say something unappropriate?" Of all things, he feared to make a bad impression in front of Buster.

Tia looked over
Aww, I didn't buy any books yet.
She sighed and put the book back (Twilight Breaking Dawn)

Janus followed him, back to his usual merry self. "Say, you look hungry. Wanna try this to build up some xtrngth, buddy?" from another pocket, he handed the corgi a bar of something that vaguely looked like food.
"Not the best looking stuff in the world, but it's the best pemmican ever! It has everything and with some water it will fill your belly for a couple of hours. Speaking of which..." he rummaged in his backpack, tongue sticking out, and produced a canteen. "Here you go!"

"Oh, uh I'll just have a plain cheese pizza. Thanks" He said a little quieter then usual, he was nervous being in a new town. He went over and sat down to start patiently waiting for the pizza to be done

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 2:21 pm

"You heard my buddy!" Rex announced happily, wagging his tail "Second one will be plain cheese!"

(hope it's okay, I'll be controlling one random NPC customer in this post only. If not, I can edit it later.)
Buster followed into the store.
He noticed that one customer had slipped a book into their bag, so he walked to him.
Now that's not very nice. These people work hard to provide the books you want, and you're going to just take one because they forgot to let you know that they were going to lunch? And for all you know, there could be a tracking system to track unsold books. Then you'll be wanting something to read while doing court ordered community service." He smiled at the customer.
The customer thought for a minute then put the book back and turned to leave.
"Have a nice day, and please come back if you ever want to buy a good book," he said, waving goodbye.
He walked over to Rena and said, "I just helped a nice man avoid making a bad decision."

Gage tried not to eye the other dog too suspiciously as he took the food and canteen. He sniffed the bar Janus had handed him, and deciding it seemed edible began to munch on it.
You certainly like to come prepared don't you?, he chuckled to hide the note of suspicion in his voice
What's your angle buddy?

The wolfdog chuckled. "No fear on *that*: Mom keeps me stuffed enough with her cuisine... Say, why don't you come to my place for lunch? She *loves* me to bring guests! And we'll all be needing to rebuild some after the job... Say, ma'am! What are we supposed to do now?" he asked to the Shiba.

"Thank you, on both mine and their accounts." she said to the rabbit, who's name she had forgotten. she felt like an idiot for forgetting his name, but she never really had time to focus on remembering names with where everyone who was around her was talking back-to-back or at the same time. And then someone opened the store's door alerting her that the store wasn't locked like it was supposed to be.

"I would like y'all to do what Mr. Rabbit is doing; stop people from taking books that weren't paid fer. I don't want to see it done by violence though, 'cause that discourages people from commin' back. Thank y'all again for the help." she said once the wolfdog had finished asking her what to do. She felt like she might be offending the rabbit by forgetting his name, but she needed to focus on keeping things from going missing from the shop at the moment, even if she felt like horrible doing so.

Gage began to search the store rather lethargically for anyone who appeared suspicious.
walking up to a pair of teenagers thumbing through a couple magazines he cleared his throat
Hey guys it's kind of the owners lunch break, could you guys clear out?

What's it to you little dog?

yea whhat're you gonna do?

Well I may not do much, but you see that dog over there? He pointed at Janus, he's not really in a good mood today.

hey mike let's go hit up Gordie's, this magazine blows anyway

the two teens walked away muttering under their breath.

"Thank you." He said while taking the pizza and quickly wolfing it down. He looked out the window and seen another dog coming towards the pizza shop. To be polite he waved 'Hi' out the window towards them. "I wonder if there's any chance we could make another friend." He said with a nervous glace back at the dog.

Rex was slowly eating his pizza, chewing it carefully. He cared about his body that much. He glanced at Albert just when he waved at someone behind him. He turned and saw the dog Albert was waving at. The German shepherd smiled and waved at the dog too.
