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.

"Green apple" He'd repeat. "That sound slide a good choice. I might have to have one myself" He'd smirk.

"Don't worry, I've got your back"

[toxiclovestorm]

"A guy after my own heart."

As the bartender got started on their drinks, Poison giggles and turns to face Dante.

"So, Dante. How's a demon like you end up hunting other ones? Tryin' to be a good boy?"

[devilishhunter]

"Kinda. My mother was murdered by them when my brother and I were kids" an arm on the bar as he watched the bartender. "Who knew there would be money to be had in slaying demons?" He'd lightly smirk.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Huh... Sorry for your loss. But it's good that you can make a livin' out of it."

Poison leans against the counter, glancing toward Dante after looking at the other patrons for a moment.

"My past isn't squeaky clean either. Got tied up in a gang for a while. But I'm tryin' to clean up my act lately."

[devilishhunter]

Their drinks are set on the counter for them.

"Yeah. I have a whole group that helps out. Picks up my slack, some would say" He'd chuckle.

"Yeah? What made you decide to turn a new leaf?"

[toxiclovestorm]

"A certain handsome blonde. To put it bluntly? I framed him. He got put away for quite a while because of it."

Poison crosses her legs as she picks up her glass, taking a sip of the strong drink and setting it down afterwards.

"I kept waiting for the day where he'd either find a way to sell me out, or get out of prison and track me down for revenge. But... He never did either. He actually became mayor of Metro City. Doin' a damn good job cleanin' up the place, too."

[devilishhunter]

"Ah! Cody, right? I have a friend in common that's introduced us before. Hell of a brawler. Damn. Good for him, honestly"

[toxiclovestorm]

"Oh! So ya know him, huh? Small world, huh? It's a wonder how I haven't run into ya until now."

Poison smirks, playfully trailing a fingernail along Dante's jawline.

"Better late than never, I suppose."

[devilishhunter]

A smirk that forms into a genuine smile. Dante chuckles.

"True. Divine Timing, or something like that" He'd lift his glass to her with a wink. "Cheers, babe"

[toxiclovestorm]

Poison raises her glass as well, giggling and giving Dante a wink.

"Cheers, handsome~"

[devilishhunter]

He took a fast drink, reading an elbow on the bar after. The taste was something he wasn't entirely accustomed to, as it wasn't his usual. But it was pretty good!

"So, you usually travel by yourself? Although it looks like you can handle yourself"

[toxiclovestorm]

"For the most part. Whenever I'm not lugging Hugo around, at least. He's my wrestling partner. Big, mean, and has a nasty clothesline. I'll introduce ya sometime!"

Poison smiles as she speaks, taking another drink before crossing one leg over the other.

[devilishhunter]

"Hah. Nice. That's badass" several more people file in around them, though not one paying them mind. The music blaring from outside.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Not as badass as goin' around killin' demons for a livin'. Does that pay well? Might take it up myself after what we did back there."

Poison's clearly joking, but she leans forward, playfully trailing a finger along Dante's chest.

"Bet it does wonders for the physique."

[devilishhunter]

"Eh, you'd be surprised" He shrugged. At least Dante wasn't 𝙖𝙨 broke as a joke. There were a lot of times of struggle. Most of it inflicted by himself, the admitted to himself.

He smirks slightly, his eyes catching hers.

[toxiclovestorm]

As they make eye contact, Poison sips from her drink again before letting out a small laugh.

"What? Somethin' on my face?"

[devilishhunter]

"Hey now. It's my turn to admire you just as much as you've been admiring me"

[toxiclovestorm]

This makes Poison giggle.

"Alright, then. Go for it, handsome."

[devilishhunter]

Dante was about to say something but frowns as a few rode patrons amble in from out where the band was. He'd roll his eyes a bit.

"Oh yeah, we were gonna peek on that band" jerking a thumb over his shoulder.

[toxiclovestorm]

"Hm? Sounds like a good idea to me. I love a good band!"

She laughs a bit, finishing the last of her drink and setting the glass down.

"Here's hopin' they don't turn into demons on us."

[devilishhunter]

"Heh, don't curse us like that. We're here for a good time~"

Although that to Dante sounded like it was a good time, however...

Heading out with her, he brushed his hair from his eyes.

[toxiclovestorm]

"I know, I know. Gal's just gotta keep her wits about her, y'know?"

Poison laughs, walking out with Dante while locking arms with him again.

[devilishhunter]

A chuckle issuing from him. Keeping the woman at a comfortable closeness, it seemed that all the patrons where having a good time. Several chatting excitedly to one another while others were enamored with the music.

[toxiclovestorm]

As they pass by several other people, Poison takes notice of a few rough looking types nearby. She rolls her eyes with a brief exhale.

"The vibe here kinda takes me back to my Mad Gear days... Wasn't always great, but I made it work."

[devilishhunter]

"That kinda lifestyle can be rough, but there's a certian charm to it you can see later in life"
