"UUUGH." Xander's pun deserved a face-palm, and Chess quickly obliged. He really should have stayed home. This new world and the people in it clearly weren't for him- but that was too bad. There was no turning back now. Instead of replying to anyone, he simply made another loud groan and began fluttering towards Creeper, mumbling under his breath all the way. He landed lightly on the top of her forehead and hid himself away in the shaggy mane around her neck. One of Creeper's ears flickered as he passed. She then began to laugh a booming laugh.
"NYEHEHE- geeze, Chessy, it's lucky the kid couldn't hear that one. Not exactly PG-material, nyehehe!"
Creeper continued to snicker away uncontrollably. Eventually, she stopped, but her next sentence was broken periodically by a slight chuckle.
"SO- nyeh- you broke too, eh, Mars-ee? Then it looks like you n' me are in the same boat!" With a wide grin, Creeper shambled towards Mariella's side and attempted to drape a lanky arm over her shoulder. She missed, crashing down onto the dusty ground instead.
"... Nyehehe. 'Ow bout a hand, Xander?" The monster was trying to stand straight up by herself, but her long limbs and crooked body were making things slightly awkward.

"Nice to meet you Ella~" Xander said cheerfully, inside he had already marked her on people he did not like. Her sarcasm was not appreciated here, it really put Xander off. "Oh, fieros are these big wolf things, but they are nice, cept they start put as little puppies, but then they grow to be like Doodles, and you can train them and they are smart." Xander explained, nodding like it all made perfect sense. Doodles was in the background chasing her tail showing how much intelligence she had.
"Mmmm?" Xander asked as he watched Creeper flail around. He pretty much hopped over to Creeper. "Che-Che doesn't seem to like me." Xander said matter-a-factly as he attempted to help Creeper make on her feet. Doodles had stopped chasing her tail to watch. "You are kind of heavy." Xander pointed out, trying to somehow support the monster by wrapping her arm around his shoulder, which probably wouldn't help her to get to her full height anyway, Xander being so short and all. "Cree's broke." Xander explained to Mariella. "She doesn’t have any money."

Mariella watched the young mothman in curiousity as he burrowed himself away in the monster-girl's fur. Of course, mothman wasn't the correct term. Mothman was a monster that was of urban legend and was thought to warn of misery. Chessy-or Che-Che as the kid called him, didn't seem that bad, atleast so far. She kinda even felt a little bad for the guy, having not noticed him at first.
She looked to Cree and kinda tilted her head at the questioning claim, barely needing to avoid her grasp as she ambled over. She was still confused. /What/ sorta freaky world was she in?
Her attention got grabbed by the normal being, tilting her head at the nickname. Ella? God that was worse then her birth name! She looked at the fiero, Doodles in interest with the explanation. She looked back as Xander helped Cree up, feeling questions pop up, addressing the whole group. "Okay uhm...Have you guys always lived here? Is there a concern for money, is there like an economy?"

"Nyehe! Thankuh, Alex," The monster replied gratefully. Of course, Xander was much too short to be of much help- the arm that draped over his shoulder hung nearly too his knees from the elbow. And two quarters of her body were still dragging on the ground. Of course she was more than capable of getting up by herself now, but she figured it would be a bit more fun to hang onto the boy for a bit longer. Test his strength. "Baw, don't worry about Chess. He's just a big jerk. In a bugbody. Nyehehehe!"
Her attention back on the newcomer, Creeper returned to a more serious state. That is to say, she was grinning like a maniac and laughing slightly less.
"How long 'ave I been here? Not that long, pet~ Chess came 'ere before me, but only by a few days. I haven't had the time to buy me one-a those, yet, anyway-" She waved a paw in Doodle's general direction. As she did, A low mumble sounded from her mane-
"That's because you've been too lazy to earn any money, you realize..."
Creeper's smile twisted into a mock frown. She was about to reply, but apparently thought better of it. Chess didn't seem to have anything else to say anyway.
Returning to her eerily happy self, the monster continued. "Well, when it comes to economy, yeah. Y'gotta earn money to make a living. I, of course, have found a way to work around the system, nyehehe~"

Xander shifted uncomfortably, she was really heavy. Xander glared at her, "Not Alex, do not call me Alex. Xander." Xander said firmly. This was probably how other people felt when he called them nicknames, which actually satisfied him that it made people to angry and frustrated. "I lived on Earth before, in Chicago. Now I live here." Xander told Ella. "Doodles is a common fiero, there are a lot of common fieros, but most fieros are unique, they have unique coloring... My other fiero even has wings!" Xander said proudly. "Haven't found out if she can fly yet." Xander added.
Doodles pranced up to Mariella, stuck her nose into Mariella's ear then pranced away. "She does that sometimes." Xander told Mariella, not exactly sorry for it happening.
"Work around the system?" Xander asked, "You mean, like stealing? Or begging like you were doing." Xander shifted again, his breathing getting heavy. He wished Cree would stand on her own, this was wearing on him.

She raised an eyebrow. Okay so now she was getting somewhere. She just had to shift through the other three's bantering back and forth to get herself some answers. Cree was probably the most nice in how she addressed her but she wasn't sure if that was the way she always talked to people, nice but sorta deranged.
"Huh, a city dweller like me..." Mariella murmured as she nodded at Xander's claim, trying to imagine other fieros in different colors and patterns and the like. She jumped a little with Doodle's action, the equivalent of a dog's wet willy she guessed and noticed the way that Xander said it, knowing he probably was liking the fact that she had behaved in such a way. She shook her head, a smirk coming onto her face. "N'aw, that's fine, I had a friend who had a big dog, used to jump up and put his paws on my shoulders..." She was totally lying through her teeth.
"Okay wait...You need to buy fieros? Who sells them to you? Where can you-" She paused, sighing. She was getting kinda nowhere fast though these people were amusing. "No offense, but is there someone you know that I could get more info from-someone who knows a lot around here?"

Creeper stood up to her full height once more, and tussled Xander's hair playfully.
"Nyehehehe, city folk, eh? Love big cities. So much noise." She grinned. "I fit in pretty well with the local alley-trash, too. Queen of the Hobos, that's what I used to be~" She then proceeded to hum a royal fanfare for herself, and struck a ridiculous pose.
After the small act, Creeper turned to face Mariella. With an ear twitch, she tilted her head slightly and brought a thumb/finger/digitthing to her mouth. She chewed a claw inquisitively.
"Yeah you gotta buy fieros. Better yet you could buy one for me. Don't tell Chess, though- for some reason he's against me gettin' one, Nyehe." At that point, what sounded like a scornful complaint rose from the depths of her mane, but it was silenced by a gigantic paw.
"If anyone, y'should probably ask Wolf about that." The grin returned.

Xander exhaled loudly as Creeper lifted her body weight from his shoulder. He still felt light headed. He swayed a bit and tried to catch his breathe. "But you’re a giant creepy monster." Xander pointed out, "Wouldn't people run away from you?" Xander's breathing slowed. "Queen of the hobos? Hobos are fun~ They know so much most of the times, a lot of stuff they shouldn't~" Xander giggled, tilting his head in a way he thought was adorable, but only because he was told he looked adorable when he did it by a random lady who wore too much make up and had a little yippy dog at her feet.
Doodles was dancing about, every now and then barking happily. She didn't come back over to the group, just pranced about them.
"Olfie is like the fiero lady." Xander explained, "She knows all about the fieros, I think she found them or somethin, I unno~"

Oh gosh, oh gee, someone stop the presses, this must be her lucky day, she was face to face with Queen of the Hobos! Seriously, could this day get any stranger? If she wasn't so weirded out by everything in this moment, she might have found Creeper sorta, daresay, charming in her crazy but seemingly oblivious way.
"Uh-huh..." She said each word slowly as she crossed her arms as she turned her attention to the little boy again, who seemed to be trying to be adorable. Seriously? Most little boys she knew of, normal ones, wanted to be as far down the spectrum from cute and adorable as they could! Welp, whatever. She snapped out of her little mental rant as she realized they had mentioned a name and tilted her head lightly. Some...different names here.
"Oh-Wolf, huh? Do you guys know where I can find her, she sounds great!"

"Nyehehe, but I didn't used to look like a monster all the time. Ain'tcha figured it out yet?" Creeper focused her attention on Xander, and laid a paw on his head again. Tussling his hair even more, she continued- "People change when they come here. I'm sure you didn't look the way you did on earth~"
At this point, Chess crawled back out from her mane, sitting down on her forehead and trying to regain his composure. One of his antennae and a wing were slightly rumpled. He attempted straightening them out.
"Actually Creeper, I'm pretty sure he hasn't been affected. Same with... uh... Mary over there. They look completely normal."
The monster paused, and her usual grin twisted into a thoughtful smirk. "... That'sa shame. Nyeh. Everyone could do with their share of monsteritis."
Chess sighed, obviously disagreeing with Creeper's opinion, but said nothing. Instead, once his wing was properly straightened out, he took flight, hovering at about Mariella's eye-level.
"Well, ifya wanna see her, she's probably at the fiero shop... er, whatever it's called. I'm as broke as Creeper is, but we could escort you there anyway."

Xander eyes widened, “I’m not a monster Creeper!” he gasped, sounding offended. “I look just like I did back on Earth. I even measured myself twenty times to make sure I didn’t get shorter, and I didn’t! I also didn’t get any taller, I mean come on! If this world can make people into monsters why couldn’t it make me taller?” Xander whined, he really really hated his height. He was told by many ladies that he was small enough to put in their pockets. He had no desire to be put in their pockets, but he would always nod and smile and act adorable, because that’s why they wanted him to do, they didn’t want him to comment on how their skirts were too short or how they have too much make up on or how fat they were, they just want him to smile and giggled and be generally d’aw worthy. “I kind of guessed everyone that was monsters here were turned by this place, but you can never be too sure.” Xander said, nodding seriously. “Wolf’s nice, I haven’t directly met her though, I just heard she is nice.” Xander told Ella, smiling. In reality he hated Wolf’s guts; Maddy told him if Wolf found out about his desire to toss fieros off cliffs she would not be happy, which made Xander annoyed. Like that Wolf girl had any say in what he does with his fieros! “So you weren’t a little buggy before, right?” Xander asked Che-Che, squinting to see him.
Doodles had flopped herself down right next to Mariella and was now staring at her. Doodles thought Mariella would be a fun play mate; she was probably faster than her alpha, which would make playing chase so much fun!

Mariella sighed as the two affected by the magic of this world talked about her. Or something like that. She wasn't quite sure about magic or this world at all, but she figured anything was possible, especially if Creeper and Chess were telling the truth about it changing their appearence. She ws a tad unsettled that none of the three she ran into so far wouldn't call her by her nickname. Fair enough.
"Oh, sure!" She said, nodding her head hard, rather happy that she was getting somewhere with this conversation about the girl called Wolf who had more knowledge and more control on fieros. She smiled a little at the little mothy guy. He made her think of the creatures in the Dark Crystal. "I mean, that'd be really helpful Chess." She glanced at the monster girl, an eyebrow raised as she wondered if she had named herself Creeper or if Chess had given her such a title.

Rather than reply, Chess shot Xander a buggy glare, before clearing his throat and focusing on more important matters. "Alright, then, it's settled." There was a hint of a smile in his voice, and he flew back to his spot on creeper's forehead. Once there, he sat with a very "I'm in charge" sort of attitude. He clicked his heels two times against her skull. "Yip yip, you skinny freak."
Creeper, however, didn't budge. She was still smiling, but the words that followed in no way sounded lighthearted. "You can't get me to carry you around forever, ladybug."
"I'll get a fiero to learn to do it soon enough. But until then, you'll have to do." Chess replied, in a manner that was equally demanding. The monster grumbled, but nonetheless dropped down on all fours.
"Okay guys, let's go. Kid, you might wanna run home and tell your mom where you're going or whatever. And Mary, I'm assuming you don't have anything else to take care of since you just got here. But if you do, now would be the time."

Xander returned Chess's glare with a smile. This game was fun.
Doodles had taken to running circles around the whole group. She knew they were going somewhere, and she was excited. Some many people to run and chase, they would have a great time! So many different people, the little bug thing, the monster thing, the human, and her alpha, so many people to play with. It was usually just her alpha and Tilda. Tilda was so boring always telling her to calm down, constantly reminding her she wasn't a pup anymore. Of course she wasn't a pup anymore, did she look like a pup? No, so why even bring it up? Sometimes Tilda confused Doodles. Her alpha was fun to play with but sometimes you need change in your life, only playing with one person could get boring after a while, now she had tons of people to play with!
"Mom..?" Xander questioned, testing out the word. It wasn't one he used too often. "I don't have one of those." he said slowly.

Mariella watched with amusement the exchanges between the two. She really had to wonder how this rag tag pair had gotten to be...well the rag tag pair they were. She stared at Creeper with the sorta threatenining words. She couldn't help kinda wondering what sort of person she had been before she had changed into a monster. But her worries quickly went away as she laughed, trying to ease the situation. "Careful now, you know she's not a ton ton..."
As soon as she said it she couldn't help laughing. Creeper did sorta look like a ton ton on all fours. And oh now Chess was trying to get Xander to go elsewhere. She was liking him more and more by the moment!
She stared at Xander, a little hit. Oh god, annoying kid with a possibly sad story to him? No, she wasn't going to sympathise, this kid was a brat. Maybe that's why, he had no one to teach him manners.
"Nope, I've got nothing, we can go." She nodded, her red hair swishing.
