It was very early in the day in the city of Isakstad. A drizzle of rain permeated the still relatively dark streets in the crack of sunrise, as water pattered on concrete and umbrellas, and puddles were kicked up with the steps of the busy denizens.

Evan had never liked his room, either in his old home or his new dorm in Newton's Cradle. Not to say he loved to be outside when it was dark, but he certainly prefered it. The boy had dark circles under his eyes as he yawned, with only his hood up to protect him from the rain. The top side of his body was damp.

The 6:00PM curfew was a problem, but one he wasn't about to break. While he returned before the hour sharp- who's to say he can't leave some awful hour early? He's lost a fair bit of hours to pursue the idea, but no matter.

His destination was obvious, and in his exhaustion, he hadn't bothered to cover his tracks. And so one early Friday, in one of the less developed areas of Isakstad, one may see the peculiar scene of a boy duck into a dirty alley, and slowly move a metal sheet away from an abandoned structure. Beneath it a hole in the concrete wall, which Evan ducks into to enter proper.

*Not too long after Evan decided to duck down into an abandoned building, an itty bitty 5' 3" Girl with a light pink jacket sticks out like a sore thumb in the gloomyness of the rainy and dark city. *

*She isn't actually wearing the jacket though, she has it tied around her waist, showing her black undershirt under the jacket. Although it was never told, she loves the rain for obvious reasons. She loves how cold it gets, and she can let her vines loose and let them thrive in the rain, not a care in the world if anyone notices the vines*

*As Penelope basically dances in the rain, enjoying it lots, she sees a curious little something... A hole into an abandoned building! [that Evan just so happened to open]*

*Curiocity gets the better of her and she starts making her way to the said hole, ditching her enjoyment in the rain for some investigation. She tries to justify it in her head, maybe there could be something she likes in there? "Whatever", she thinks, "I just want to know what i can find in there..."*
Jeremy
She'd hear the sounds first when she approaches the open entrance. The hollow footfalls of shoe on concrete, the sound of fabric as its ruffled around, before a distant, low *Meow*.

She'd see Evan inside, with his hood down and a little damp from the rain. A boy with very bushy brows, khakis, boots, and a stern look on his face as he ducks down to pick up a cat from a small woven basket stuffed with a quilt. "I know. Have you eaten yet?" He murmurs to the cat, barely an audible whisper from where she stood.

It doesn't seem like he noticed she was there yet.
Barry
*She notices the cat's meow first, so before she's even inside yet, she knows what she's getting. Or at least, what she's saving.*

*Unfortunately, she sees the person inside pick up the cat, making her think that he already owns the cat*
*She quietly- yet stupidly- says:* "Awww, he already has an owner..."

*She decides that she should continue in, maybe to just introduce herself to the man and help him out with the cat*

*She continues her trek into the building, now towards the person in all brown as her vines make a small cracking noise from not being in rain anymore and now settling back into her body*
Jeremy
The cat seems to notice her first, as its eyes look up at the boy and lets out a lazy meow. The boy purses his lips in response, as he places him back onto the basket and picks it up by the handle.

He turns around to face her afterwards. Not surprised to see someone was inside with him, but definitely off put, even if a little. He seems to relax a bit when he realizes she was only a kid like him.

"Hello?" He says, his voice low. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Barry
*She seems innocent and not wanting a conflict, being smol, having a high pitched voice, and just generally making herself as little threatening as possible*
"S-Sorry if i startled you, i-i just heard a cat in here and i t-thought that it needed saving from under something that colapsed in t-this building..."
Jeremy
He shoots her a level stare for a solid second, as if to scrutinize her words. The silence is only broken when the cat lets out another low meow.

"He's fine," He says finally, with a bit of reluctance. "You can check him if you want, whatever." He lays the basket back down on the floor, before he walks off to some corner of the room. Some corner where a plastic bowl was present.

"But seriously, who are you?" He asks for a second time.
Barry
"O-Oh, i-im Penelope, i'm a student at Newton's Cradle, i-i was just out and about in the rain before i saw the building"

*She stutters a lot, trying to be polite but being quite nervious that he might hurt her*
"I-I mean you no harm, sir, i-i was just curious!"

*Related to Evan's passive, he knows that Penelope has nothing on her right now that can hurt him*
