Starter for Dante

[toxiclovestorm]

Sitting at a bar, Poison sips from a martini as she eyes the television nearby. She sighs, crossing one leg over the other as she turns the seat back towards her drink.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Big trouble pretty much defines my life. I would've been fine." She crosses her arms. "Although... I guess I would've missed out on meeting you, huh? What's your name, handsome?"

[devilishhunter]

"Dante. Yours? Although you seem familiar...have I seen your wanted posters before?"

Joking.

Maybe.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Maybe back in the day. But don't worry. I'm a good girl, now."

She winks.

"Poison."

[devilishhunter]

He'd chuckle and place a hand on his hip.

"Poison. I like that" keeping his relaxed expression. "So...wanna get out of here?"

[toxiclovestorm]

"Please. I think I've had enough of this place if there's demons crawling around."

Sizing Dante up as she steps around him for a moment.

"Hm... Not bad. You ever wrestle, big boy?"

[devilishhunter]

A snicker at the sentiment.

"Ah...𝘞𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦? Not exactly. I've shared in some physical combat before. Been in a wild--'Save the universe' type thing"

[toxiclovestorm]

As Poison listens, she shamelessly sizes up Dante's biceps. She can't waste time when she finds a potential star, after all!

"Save the universe, huh? Sounds big time compared to all the drama I've been through."

[devilishhunter]

Dante was unbothered. Flattered even.

"Wasn't much. Literally. Didn't get the big payoff I wanted, but uh. I have piss poor luck when it comes to that. Heh"

[toxiclovestorm]

"Oh yeah?"

Poison finishes looking Dante over, giving the man's arm a healthy squeeze.

"That won't be a problem if I can make a star out of ya. But we can talk about that later. Let's get outta here."

[devilishhunter]

"Sure babe, whatever you want. You got a ride, or-?" He'd gesture to his motorcycle once they were out front.

[toxiclovestorm]

"I do now. Nice bike."

Poison clings to Dante's arm as they walk, only letting go once they reached the motorcycle.

[devilishhunter]

He chuckles and eases on. "I know a place. Granted it's another bar" He warns her before firing up the engine.

[toxiclovestorm]

Hopping onto the back, Poison wraps her arms around Dante's torso. She leans against his back as she speaks up over the engine.

"Long as we don't end up fighting another demon, it's fine with me!"

[devilishhunter]

"Nahh, we should be fine. I paid my tab off" He was only half joking as they sped off away from the prior bar.

[toxiclovestorm]

She holds on tightly as they speed off, looking over Dante's shoulder at the road ahead.

"Don't worry, big boy! I'll cover it, if I gotta!"

[devilishhunter]

"It shouldn't come to that! I hope-" He added. They leave the main hub of the city, the wide lanes narrowing to one going each way.

[toxiclovestorm]

"So, what's your deal? How'd you know that bozo was a demon?"

She'd ask as the area around them changes, looking around to take in the sights.

[devilishhunter]

A chuckle.
"Well, I'm a demon hunter. Who happens to be a demon"

[toxiclovestorm]

"... Huh. That explains why you were able to take that guy down without even tryin'."

Poison's actually... Intrigued by this information. A demon wrestler sounds exciting!

[devilishhunter]

"Not every day I don't have someone freaking out about that" speaking up honestly.

One last turn and they're parked! Music rumbling from the back as it seemed a live band way playing there. He'd cut the bike off and hop off with a flit of his coat.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Trust me, Dante. If you've seen some of the stuff I have? You bein' a demon seems tame. Especially when you save a girl's life the way you do."

When they park, Poison hops off with a grunt. She smiles at the new atmosphere, holding onto Dante's arm as they walk.

"Live music, huh? I like this new spot already!"

[devilishhunter]

"It ain't much, but it's honest work" He'd remark with a smirk. "I love what I do, and the perks aren't that bad either. Come on. Let's get a drink and poke around"

[toxiclovestorm]

"You got it, Dante. Let's see what this place is all about!"

The pinkette smiles and keeps a tight hold on the demon hunter's arm, taking in the sights and sounds of the new bar. It was much more lively than the last one!

[devilishhunter]

A few people greet him as they enter. Dante nodding. "What's your drink of choice, anyway?"

[toxiclovestorm]

"Green apple martini." Shw answers quickly. "Hopefully I can enjoy this one without bein' harassed by a punk. Hah!"
