"It is nice to meet you too," He responds simply.

"SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE"

The snoring is coming from a black canine monster with a barbed tail, curled up and asleep in the corner.

In the deep recesses of a nearby garbage receptacle, a pixie-type creature with bright, red, pupil-less eyes, notable fangs, gray skin, and a sleak head of black hair.

The creature pushes up against a particularly heavy piece of trash, hissing as he does so. The push into the junk causes the mystery object to leak some kind of fluid, causing the creature to lunge backward in disgust.

Curses... curses all abound this pauper’s school, and the paupers enrolled within. I shall raise my vengeance... once I’ve found my way around this filth that is...

From small, unnoticable slits in his overcoat come translucent dragonfly wings. He sighs, and lets out a remised All curses...

He begins flying wildly within his pocket of the trash, hitting the side of the garbage can repeatedly. From the outside of the garbage can, the slight clangs would ring out, sounding nearly alarm-clock like.

Alice is fixated on the sleeping canine creature. The reason she's so shy is because her species is meant to sneak around - in bedrooms, especially. Seeing this creature asleep, she is strongly tempted to scare it...

The mannequin just steps back from the crowd and uses their bag as a seat.

The beast remains willfully ignorant, snoozing away like there's no tomorrow. A tiny snot bubble starts expanding from his nose - ewww!

"Huh... he's sleeping like a log," says Teddy, approaching the canine creature.

Feeling excited, Alice creeps up on the canine creature. With a Cheshire Cat Grin, she gets in position, and then spreading her tentacles out, she stretches her entire body, making her taller. She then touches the creature's paw with one tentacle...

The beast shuffles at the touch, and slowly opens a single glowing eye....

Before promptly shrieking like a banshee and leaping up on all fours. His long tongue sticks out promptly as he screams, before scurrying around and trying to scamper away, whining not unlike a frightened dog.

However, in his haste to get away, his long tail swings wide around, and the barbs might get caught up in Alice's shaggy fur.

Alice yelps in pain as she gets hit with the barbs and knocked back.

"I-I-I'm sorry..." she says to the canine creature. "I shouldn't have done that. It's just... instinctive..."

"Yikes! Are you okay?" Teddy asks Alice.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." says Alice, getting back up. "I just hope he's okay..." she says, pointing to the canine.

The creature is hunched over, tail between his legs, as he looks back at Alice. Noticing she's hurt, he tentatively steps forward towards her.

"Ahh, I-I'm verry s-sorry about that, Miss..." his voice is scratchy, high-pitched, and slightly nasally. "I-I don't know my own strength sometimes..."

"It's okay," says Alice. "I feel horrible for scaring you. I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?"

"O-of course!" The beast smiles a big, toothy smile. "It'll take more than a little scare to get me on your bad side!"

The situation diffused, the beast's tail unfurls, swinging in a wide arc behind him. Anyone passing by better watch out.

"Thank you!" Alice gives a genuine smile. She walks back up to the creature and hugs it.

Lelia stops shaking Diogenes' hand and jumps at the scream.

"What was that?"

The bolts holding the mannequin together would rattle during the scream. It did hurt them a bit, but only for a second or two.

I-I don’t know... (Diogenes says, a bit nervously, looking around and trying to trace where the sound came from.)

"Oh!" The beast accepts the hug, laughing a little nervously. "Ahhh, thank you."

Starting to notice people looking towards him, he starts to get a little nervous....

"W-What's going on?"

"I'm so sorry," Alice says to Dwina and the others who might be staring. "I scared him on accident - well, it wasn't really an accident, I just couldn't resist my instincts. I'm a bogeyman..."

"Anyway, we made up. I'm sorry for startling you all..."

”Oh, it’s fine.”

The mannequin would put their bag back on and get up.

"Ah, it came from over there!" Lelia turns and points at the creature.

O-oh... (says Diogenes, looking in that direction.)

(The fish creature is tempted to go toward the source of the commotion, but his nerves are getting the better of him. He takes a few hesitant steps toward it, but that’s it.)
