Xiomara groaned in defeat. This week was really trying to kill her. She had nearly been poisoned by her best friends cooking, had failed a test, and had lost her motivation to write. With those distractions she was left with hardly any thought about the world around her. It was hardly surprising to see her walking around the edge of town, grumbling to herself. She needed a good book, and fast.

Or maybe she just needed inspiration and relaxation, which could be found in her favorite spot: the forest. It’s quiet, lush clearings were perfect for her daily unwinds.

So, here she was now, laying on a thick branch high up in a tree, her eyes closed and her journal clutched close. “I wanna sleep…” she mumbled to herself.

Following her words, Xiomara heard a soft noise. Alarmed, she sat up, sliding back against the trunk of the tree. “Hello?”

Zine was done with people in town this week, he didn't seem to be respected at all. Hell, people called him a freak! He was going to leave this town. But to do that, he has to go through the forest.

"Here we go."

He walks for a well, then hears someone say 'Hello?"

He walked towards the voice, and says "Hello? Anyone there?"

Xiomara nearly fell out of the tree. She started at the response and laughed nervously. “Y-Yeah… I’m up here,”

She ran a hand through her messy hair, biting down on her lip. She could taste the metal of her lip piercings.

"Oh, hello! What are you doing up there? I'm trying to getting the hell out of this town."

Zine kinda shows what he's taking with him, trying to make it as least awkward as he can while he take the objects out of himself.

"Yeah, I store my stuff inside myself. It keeps me from having to hold a lot of bags."

“I’m cooling off. It’s been a rather horrid week.” She replied, looking downcast. Until he started pulling out of him. She clutched at the branch she sat on, looking slightly afraid. “W-What are you?”

Her fear seemed to fade, however, as she took a closer look at him, studying his features carefully.

"Sorry about your bad week! Also I'm kind of called a Light Latex Creature apparently, I rather call myself a goo wolf."

Zine climbs up the tree, and settles on a branch next to her.

“Goo wolf…?” Her eyes lit up. She hadn’t ever spoken with a goo wolf before. “I’m Xiomara! Regular old human with a boring life and stupid problems.” She laughed softly, but it was a partial truth.

Zine laughs, "My name's Zine! And being this" He gestures at himself "isn't easy either. What are some of your problems? Maybe I can help!"

“It’s just life. Nothing can really be done. I mean, I failed a test and lost the motivation to write.” Her face fell slightly. Though she hadn’t been poisoned by her friend, that friend was currently in the hospital. He often was in and out of that place. The kid had some blood disease she hadn’t heard off. Apparently he lost too much blood after cutting himself and needed a transfusion.

"That sucks, but you'll get though it! Trust me! And maybe I can help you write!" Zine notices her face. "Why do you look sad? Is something wrong?"

“Mm, do you creative write too?” Her eyes lit up. She threw on a fake smile, hoping to fool him. “Ah, it’s nothing. Just friend problems.”

"Hope your friend gets better! And I do write sometimes, mostly just random ideas I have, or for a D&D character. And yes, I am a HUGE nerd for D&D" Zine laughs. "I love to play D&D!"

Xiomara laughed softly, shaking her head. “D&D? I’ve played before. It was fun from what I got from it.” She admitted, smiling. “It’s fun.”

Zine nods a lot "Yeah it is! It's always the people who makes it so interesting in the first place!" Zine seeming really cheerful and energetic now "What do you like to play? I play mostly melee things, not the spells casters, they are too complicated for me!"

“Usually the spell casters for me. Though complicated, I find it fun!” She giggled, his bubbly mood infectious.

Zine laughs "I'm glad you find them fun! Wanna see something kinda interesting I'm bringing with me?"

She nodded, grinning from ear to ear. “I do!” Leaning over a bit, Xiomara’s mood seemed to brighten.
