"Faith!? Faith, where'd you go??"

The voice of an older young man was calling out as he walked down a crowded sidewalk in New York city. He was wearing a white button up shirt that was loosely buttoned, revealing some of his chest as a silver necklace dangled from his neck. Dark blue jeans and black boots completed his apparel as his purple eyes searched through the crystal clear glasses over his eyes in search of someone. At his side was a brown leather bag with gold script outlining it, and was something that appeared ancient. His stride was quick as his tall 6'3" size walked through the crowd on the late afternoon in search of a individual whom was actually very dear to him.

"Where have you run off to this time?"

This was Tyler Bourgoine, the Alchemical Genius from the United States. He is 24 years old and is actually an extremely intellectual human. His IQ is far superior than most, and his skill of trade is Alchemy. His usual focus is to repair and conjure supplies and works for local citizens to make his keep while he studies abroad in his adored science. Matter of fact, the girl he was looking for was actually created by that science. A girl named Faith is a homonculus that was created from Tyler's sadness to reflect the friend he had in his childhood and he couldn't bare to be without. Sadly, it's not the real Faith from his childhood, only a soulless shell of what she was. Tyler understood that though, as he just needed something to quell his sadness for the time being. As he discovers more and learns more of his science, he'll get closer and closer to reviving the complete form of his previous friend. Till then, he teaches the current Faith about the world and what it takes to survive in it.

But currently, Tyler was having troubles finding this friend as she had run off, like she always does. He just needs to get her back so they can focus on settling down and so they could eat for the evening. His frustration was slowly starting to rise, so much that he was distracted from the constant women walking by and admiring his appearance...

"Faith... Where the hell are you hiding this time?"

Tyler continued down the streets in search of his dear ally, not aware of any potential meetings with others that could occur...

The woman walked through the crowd, lost in her own thoughts. Blonde, spiky hair stood atop her head, her skin a bit pale. Her eyes were hidden behind a strange pair of glasses, and one of them was covered in bandages. She was wearing a black leather jacket, and she hadn't bothered to button it up. Beneath it she wasn't wearing her vest, today it was just a black t shirt with her gun holsters on top of it. Two strange pistols were on opposite sides of each other, while another one was slightly farther down on the right. If anyone was in to guns, they would likely recognize it as a M1911 pistol. Her black jeans covered her legs, and she looked at the watch on her left hand. On her back a long casing was strapped there, marked with a large piece of caution tape that someone had seemingly glued to the package. A large suitcase rolled behind her, pulled along by her arm. She seemed to be muttering to herself, audible to people as she passed them.

"Unable to connect, huh. Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Still, this means I’ll have to set up a separate connection mechanism. I guess it’s lucky that I finally got that computer attached to the internet. I should probably wait till I get to my hotel room, America sure is a pain. Can’t believe it when that man at the airport told me I absolutely must remove my vest. What did he mean, ‘no concealed carry allowed’, that’s just bullshit! When you’re attempting to put a bullet through someone, it helps to keep your gun a secret.”

Grumbling, she didn’t realize where she was going, and she walked straight in to a male that had been in front of her. Stumbling backwards a bit, she took in the man’s look. Somewhere in his 20s, maybe six feet two inches, perhaps a bit taller. Based on how his shirt was reacting to the breeze, it was clearly open in from, for whatever reason. Taking off her strange glasses and stowing them in one of her pockets, she glared at the man.

“Hey, mind getting the hell out of my way man? I’ve got somewhere to be, and I prefer my bullets go in to a paying target, yah idiot.”

Yea, sure the man didn’t deserve that sort of treatment, but she was already frustrated, so Amy didn’t really care much. She wasn’t in the mood to be nice, not yet anyway. Being dragged out here over some stupid rumor of cult activity was a real bitch, she didn’t want to deal with anything else. Then, of course she was out of range for the normal connection between her glasses and the supercomputer she had back at home. This sure was going to be a long day.

The crowd was getting a tad dense as Tyler walked through each individual, trying to get an eye on his partner, but it was getting quite difficult with the populous only getting higher. Why did she have to let her curiosity take place in such a popular city? Granted, the world was in a weird sense of turmoil that it was inhabited and controlled by many different organizations, but at least America held most of it's territories for itself. I guess people in this nation can say with pride that 'MURICA will remain free? Either way, Tyler needed to find Faith before she got herself into trouble or got hurt. Tyler didn't even want to comprehend what could possibly happen if she was hurt. Either way, while Tyler was in his own place traveling down the roadside, he was suddenly interrupted while bumping into another female.

She was somewhat shorter than he was, and was a tad cute for having blonde spiked hair. Was a little out of the norm for ones element, but Tyler can appreciate someones nonconformity. Either way, he was about to apologize to the small female till she opened her mouth and some pretty rough words made their way to his ears. Now, normally one would bite back at ones bark, but Tyler being the womanizing type he is, he wouldn't dare speak down to this lass for a small mistake. What was even more amusing was her threat with bullets involved. Guns haven't really been much of a dominant weapon in this time, and to threaten someone with a projectile piece of metal was like threatening someone with a box of kittens...

Good thing Tyler isn't allergic...

"Haha, My apologies miss..."

Taking a step back to allow room and inhaling with a small smile, Tyler thought he'd ask the nice young lady if maybe she knew where Faith might be hiding...

"Pardon my intrusion, but would you possibly have seen a girl close to my height, short black hair, and eyes just as black? She's a dear friend of mine and she's run off..."

Tyler wasn't going to bet all he had with her knowledge, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Who knows, maybe she might now something after all? Besides, the worst he can get in reply is a 'No' either way. Tyler just put his hands in his pockets with a smile, awaiting the answer from the short young lady...

Amy laugher, the man before her seemed to be a bit silly. Most people reacted with anger of fear when she acted this way, but this man seemed to be acting really nice, and her attitude changed to be a bit friendly towards him.

“I’m sorry, but not in this crowd, no way. Would you like some help in finding her though? I just hate this crowd and this place, it’s a real pain. Anyway, how about we make a deal, I help you find your friend and you’ll help me find my way around here, okay with you? Based on the area, ten, maybe twenty stories up should be more than enough.”

She waited for his answer, and if it was affirmative, she would smile, looking delighted.

“Alright, now I have something to do besides wandering around. I’ll be right back.”

With that she scooted over to a rather tall apartment building that had a fire escape on the side. Jumping, she grabbed on to the edge and hauled herself up. From there she ran up the fire escape to the top floor before jumping on to the roof. From there she looked down upon the crowd. She could see them all, and while she couldn’t judge their height perfectly, she could tell their hair and eye colors. Finding a couple of people who matched she was looking for, she jumped back down, taking the fire escape stairs as quick as she went up, and flipping over the side bar to land next to her new acquaintance.

“Sorry about that, but I found two people who happened to meet your description. One about nine or ten meters to the north, the other is roughly one hundred meters to the east. Those are only approximations, and I can’t guarantee I didn’t miss her when she was behind a building or something. It was only a quick look after all. Anyways, I gotta be off, I found what I was looking for about four hundred meters north of here. See yah!”

With that she walked off, going towards the direction she had indicated. As she did, she pulled out a small circuit board from her pocket, examining it in great detail. She only hoped this would work, she didn’t have much of a choice after all.

Faith Mikasa

The girl that Tyler was so desperately looking for wasn't that far away from him at all. In fact, she was only a few metres up the road. She had gotten slightly lost after walking a bit too fast when Tyler wasn't looking and this caused her to lose track of him. Bumping into many people, she eventually made it out of a bundled mess of limbs and bodies that were travelling up and down the paths. However she didn't make it out completely unscathed. Somebody hit her head as she tried to duck under something so she spent the next few minutes crouched in front of a shop clutching her head with her face buried into her scarf. She had a complex blend of emotions at the moment. She was frowning, sniffling but trying to keep a straight face so she didn't appear as weak as she felt. Most people just ignored her as she crouched here.

"..."

After a few minutes, she looked up. The something caught her attention and it wasn't a person or a noise, but a smell. The store was a bakery with its front window wide open. The smell of fresh gingerbread caught her attention. She sniffed a few times and stared. She had never smelt something like this before. It was strong. It made her feel hungry. She pushed herself onto her feet and held her arms close to her chest, holding the edge of her scarf shyly as she walked into the bakery. once inside, she just stood there and stared at the food. Cakes. Biscuits. Cream. Bread. The mixture of smells almost knocked her off of her feet. this place was amazing. She had to push the scarf over her mouth to mask her drooling. She then thought to herself: what is this place? However she was forgetting something as she reached onto a shelf, lifted a small cupcake and proceeded to gnaw gently into it.

The baker wasn't too happy.

At first, Tyler was delighted! The girl laughed, and then presented a deal to him which was actually something he wouldn't mind at all, only problem being that he wasn't aware of this area either. He came to New York for some research on a special energy type known as Death Energy that he wanted to study on, but instead before he could affirm the deal, the young lady pranced off, heading to a nearby fire escape and darting awfully quick to the top of the establishment. Tyler was actually a little impressed at the girls energy, and was going to thank her for the effort, but he felt a tad out of place, being silent at that moment. Not often does Tyler get put into a place of awkward, but there's a first time for everything. Finally she jumped back down.

"Sorry to put you through the trou--"

The young lady returned with good, but concerning news. She observed that there were two individuals with the same characteristics that were separated, but the problem with that is, they BOTH could be Faith. Seeing as Faith had the ability to copy everything about her, and cause these copies to spread out, they both could be her, and Tyler is STILL learning how to tell the difference between the copies and the real ones. This is going to be a nightmare, but alas Tyler needed to say thank you for her help, but she took off before he could even mutter a word...

She was nice, but a tad rude on her manners. It doesn't matter anyhow. Tyler got the news he needed, so it was time to take action. Deciding to take the closer route, Tyler proceeded forward, heading through the crowds and dense populous to reach his objective. Deducing 10 meters only took a second to Tyler to measure out into feet as he reached the objective. It was a bakery, and yet Tyler was confused. He didn't see Faith anywhere around here. Did she perhaps continue forward, and he needed to go faster in which to catch up to her?

Tyler was mid thought when he began to hear a very upset and enraged man within the bakery. Deciding to take a quick peek, Tyler looked in to see a man who was yelling at a young lady over not paying for a now consumed baked good. Seeing the attire as well as the features from behind, Tyler immediately knew it was Faith, and that she of course, got into some trouble while he was gone. Instead of getting upset, Tyler just chuckled as he walked in, reaching into his pocket and grabbing some cash. Out of a stack of one hundred dollar bills, Tyler grabbed one and handed it to the Baker with a smile.

"Please forgive the young lady. She was hungry as we haven't eaten yet today and was a tad distracted..."

Tyler then looked in Faith's direction with a warming smile, and a bit of a chipper emotion behind it as he finally found her. Also, it was amusing to see her cute side come out while one would normally consume a cupcake, she'd rather nibble on it for it's flavor. Tyler didn't notice the hidden emotion behind Faith from the damage she took earlier though, as he was just a bit happy to just know she was safe...

((OOC: I'm out at least for this posting round. Amy isn't walking with you, and either I'll post when I want her to meet up with you again, or if either of you want to run in to her I'll be watching the thread.))

Faith stood in the bakery and took a fresh, wide chomp out of the muffin she had taken off the shelf. However, as soon as er teeth sank into it, the sounds of a rather plump, hairy man in a white chefs hat exploded like a grenade around the Bakery, frightening the living skin off of the customers and even more so: the girl with the muffin. She didn't know what to do. She had done wrong and hadn't realised it until now. What did she do wrong? Did she not wipe her feet on the way in? Did she have to take her shoes off first? She just didn't know. Dropping the muffin in terror, she quickly ran into a corner and huddled up against the wall, clutching her ears so she couldn't hear the mans spit-filled blathering.

It was when another customer entered the bakery that the mans roars were quenched. Faith did not dare to look at them just in case she would be shouted at again. Instead, she just sat there and shivered in fright. Somebody was talking, but she couldn't tell who. Her hands had lifted her red scarf to her head and covered her ears so everything just sounded like mumbled garbage. Maybe they will go away and leave her here. That would be good. A silent room with nobody inside for Faith to dwell on her mistakes. Nobody could shout at her there. Maybe a kitchen with muffins in. NO! Thats what got her into this mess! No muffins! But they're so good. Maybe one. Or two.

Faith opened her eyes a bit and looked at the wall, shuffling slightly as her feet started to hurt from huddling like this. She almost wanted to cry about it. The uncomfort. the noise. The loneliness. Why oh why did she have to wander off!? Where is Tyler!?

Finally, after dealing with the Baker and sending him back to work, Tyler looked into the corner to see Faith cowering and trying to distract herself from the confrontation. She's never really been one to deal well with others herself, considering that she's still learning about other people and how they possibly think. She needs more interaction really, but another thing she needs to do is continue to not run off. This causes problems and makes Tyler worry, seeing as she still can't take full care of herself. Not only that, but she's still not understanding the concept of trade, where you pay for what you desire. It's one she's learning, but not fully understood. Soon though, she'll get everything, it just takes time.

Tyler decided to instead play a little subtle role at this moment, as he walked closer to Faith, but instead of kneeling in front of her, he sat beside her quietly. He just sat there in the corner, looking at the same was she was starring at, hoping to see things from her eyes. His purple eyes, gazing at the wall through his glasses, trying to see if there was something interesting on there, but he couldn't spot anything that would capture ones attention. This lead Tyler to believe that maybe she was looking away to divert attention then, in an attempt to try and avoid confrontation, but from who? Himself or the baker? Either way, Tyler decided it was time to spoil his location to Faith...

Tyler leaned close to her ear, and whispered...

"I'm sorry, did I scare you Faith?"

A smile crept across his face as he awaited her reaction. Would she become startled, or would she be pleased to see him? Or perhaps she'll just play it off emotionless and leave this attempt at surprise foiled. Either way, Tyler awaited her reaction...
