DeAnne smiled. She liked this guy. There was something genuine about him that she just liked.
"Nice to meet you. Well, from what I know, this place is quite 'peculiar'. The best thing we can do is find a place to bunk and food that we can actually eat--I hate human food. Then, maybe find a way out." DeAnne paused. "Where are you guys from anyway?" She asked, interested. She had never encountered people from this species.

Veronica looked at the group as she replied, "I know a lot. Just to fill you, Animus was once a city, full of life and culture. A force known as The Black Goat overtook the city, and since then, Animus has decayed into what you see before you today. The Black Goat is the force that controls the city. Exactly why were all here and what he wants is still a mystery."

DeAnne smiled. "This Black Goat, how 'bad' is he?"

Lain nodded at DeAnne's statement. Human food is disgusting..
"Well the place we're from doesn't really have a name as such, but i lived in a lake near the village she lived in. What about you? and do you know anywhere that we can get REAL food?" Ryker said smiling. Lain stared down at her feet that were still covered in the remnants of human food. Ugh how gross.. "Do you know anywhere we can clean up or anything like that?" Lain asked softly. The smell of the human food was so strong she began to feel ill.
A black goat?? wow this place is getting stranger and stranger..
She waited to hear Veronica's answer to the question.

DeAnne nodded. "Real food would be good. Anything that is not human," she paused. "Well--my father is the Devil. I think that is self-explanatory," DeAnne said. "So Veronica, have more information for us?"

Veronica gave DeAnne a look of utter confusion as she replied, "Pretty bad. Trust me."

DeAnne chuckled. "As bad as my father's toe fungus?"

Veronica shook her head in disbelief at what she had just heard. "No.", Veronica answered back. "The Black Goat is a monster who sucked the very life out of this city and in doing so, he killed my daughter!"
Veronica paused. There she went again. She called Sara her own.
What's happening to me?
Veronica motioned back behind the register's counter and took a pack of cigarettes. She turned back to the group as she placed the cigarette between her lips and lit it. She offered the pack to the group and asked, "Does anyone care for a smoke?"

"He doesn't sound that bad," DeAnne murmured. "No, thanks, I had enough smoke for time to come. What now?"

Veronica placed the items in a brown paper bag as she replied, "Home. Unless there's something else you kids want to know."

"Mind if we bunk in?" DeAnne asked.

"I don't take in strangers, I'm sorry. If I knew you kids better... Probably.", Veronica replied. "Anything else?"

That was a slap on DeAnne's face. ["I don't take in strangers, I'm sorry./i] But didn't they just meet? Doesn't that count as an acquaintance and not a stranger?
"Then, have any idea where else we can stay?"

Veronica replied, "The hotel and the motel have quite a few empty rooms. There are always the abandoned houses."

DeAnne looked at Ryker and Lain. Something in her told her she could trust them.
"What do you guys think?"
