The warm glow of the active street lights shone down on the street below. The urban area was filled with sounds of passing traffic, pedestrians, and the odd Public Security vehicle.
Anby Demara was seated at a table, outside of her favorite burger spot. A small, well known food truck that travelled around the city, mostly stationing itself around Sixth Street.
Anby had a strong love for burgers. Her favorite food is hamburgers because "they contain protein, carbs, and greens, taste good, and are even affordable — there's nothing else besides hamburgers." In her own words, of course.
She was also listening to music on her headphones, as she often did; drowning out the sounds of the urban ambience surrounding her. She would often listen to movie soundtracks, or boss battle music. Even in combat, she would listen to these things.
A little earlier that day, she and the rest of the Cunning Hares took a job to retrieve some sort of strange electronic device from inside the Dead End Hollow. The client was paying quite well, of course... and the job did get completed. But who would have known that the device would be guarded by a Dead End Butcher? That hardly made the mission worth it!
But on the bright side, it earned Anby enough allowance for another seventeen hamburgers, eleven music cassettes, and seven movie tape rentals, according to her precise calculation.
So after that morning's adventure, here she was. Sitting at a table, under a streetlight just outside the hamburger food truck. She was perfectly content... even though her ever-neutral expression did little to give that away.
"Dum... duh duh duh... dum dum... duh duh duh... dumm..."
She would hum along to the music she was listening to while eating. Nicole was supposed to meet her there at any moment... probably expecting to pay with coupons again.
