Sarah decided that she might as well start with what was bound to one of the more popular exhibits and headed for the panda cage. As she got closer though she noticed something unusual. she took her phone out of her pocket so that she could talk to Swimmer in public without getting any weird looks. "Okay, I'm not imagining things am I?"
It took Swimmer a few seconds to realize she was talking to him but when he did he answered her. "If you're talking about the other Beast Spirits I see them too." Curious she decided that the panda's could wait for their ball and instead made her way to the tigers.
As she got closer she quickly figured out who the spirits were bonded too but while she wanted to talk to them she was still working. Luckily there was an easy way to learn more, in the form of an invisible floating shark. "Can you go talk to them while I handle the tigers?" The Shark Spirit sighed but changed directions to the giant Eagle and Tiger.
Despite Swimmer's path being shorter than Sarahs he arrived at the roughly same time she entered the tiger cage. "Ehm, hey there. Didn't expect to run into any other Spirits."

As Kenn finished with his cigarette, he lit up another right before a security guard noticed him and approached him. " Oh no, the security guard," Leo exclaimed but Kenn didn't budge. "Excuse me, sir. You shouldn't be loitering at the zoo entrance, nor smoking here," he spoke and Kenn turned his gaze. "Um... does look like I give a shit? It's not bothering anyone," Kenn snarled at the guard. "Actually it is, I can smell the cigarette smoke from here. Now if you kindly just refrain from smoking, it will be nice for the rest of the guests." Kenn looked at the guard as he too another puff and walks up to the guard, blowing the smoke onto his face, making him cough as a reaction. "What the..*cough*... that's assault!" the guard growled as he wheezed. "You're such a fucking pussy. All I did was blow smoke in your face. Who raised you, you mom?" Kenn taunted. " Kenjuro, please stop!" Leo warned, but fell to deaf ears. "Alright, if you're not going to comply, then we're gonna have to do this the hard way," the guard said as he grabbed Kenn's arm, making him react quickly. "Hey asshole, let go of my arm!" "You're not complying with me! I said to stop smoking and loitering and you chose to ignore me!" the guard thundered. "That doesn't give you the right to put your fucking hands in me! Let go, you pig!" Kenn yelled as it began to attract the crowd. " KENJURO!" Leo roared. "Stop resisting or I will use force!" the guard growled and Kenn felt his own anger boiling over. " FUCK OFF!!!" he shouted out and threw a harsh punch to the guard's face knocking him backwards which broke his jaw everyone screamed in horror over what they had saw. "My jaw... you broke my jaw!" the guard moaned in pain. People started murmuring after the commotion caused by Kenn. Multiple Guards began making their way over but a loud "Stop!" Was heard. Many turned around to see Gregory Wilde walk up. He had a calm demeanor about him as he walked up to Kenn. "Young man... you are causing quite the disturbance... and you have incapacitated one of my guards... honestly one of my best ones. I should press charges... I'm good friends with with Chief of Police you know..." Wilde looked around at the people who watched quietly before Wilde leaned in. "But I think we both know having the police meddle in our businesses is less than desirable. There's a rawness to you... so I have a proposition... however if you say no its an evening of jail for you and paperwork for me."

Kenn looked at Gregory Wilde who was looking at him and Leo appeared to see the man looking straight at him The Lion Spirit didn't say anything but Kenn lets out a scoff.
"You think you're so special with this pigsty you call a zoo," he snapped."You could've open a hotel instead of pretending to be Steve Irwin with your old ass."

Gregory smiled before pulling out his cellphone. "One call is all it would take my dear man... or are you going to hear my proposition?" Meanwhile Hakim continued making his way through the crowds half paying attention to the animals half paying attention to the Beast Spirit wielders. He then poked his head out seeing the commotion of Wilde talking to some thug and then his eyes went huge seeing a Lion Spirit attached to the man. "What the hell is going on today?!" "Hakim... I can't explain it... but I feel a weirdness in the air...""What?"

Kenn folded his arms, "Go ahead. Call them, I don't care. It's better than these fatasses who can't keep themselves in shape," he taunted.
"Kenjuro please, if Ms. Gray finds out-"
"I don't fucking care, Leo. Let this Tony Stark wannabe call those pigs, I've been in jail before. It's not my first rodeo," Kenn cuts Leo off.

"Nice to meet you, ladies." Alex responded with a smile, not letting Samara's colder shoulder get him down as he was very excited to meet someone like him and meet another beast. "My friend's name is Wingsy. I gave him his name around 7 years ago when I turned 16. He's a bit of a stick in the mud sometimes but he's still my boy."
"Alex, I'm touched." Wingsy sniffed, trying to keep from getting too emotional.
"Love you too, man!" Alex responded to his eagle friend, opting to show love, even when their counterparts didn't appear to be on the same page.
"Alex, I believe Samara did pose a questions."
"Right." Alex nodded. "But no, he actually saved my life during a skydive that almost went horribly wrong. I'm actually used to him now." Alex chose to be more forthcoming first in hopes of Samara being more comfortable. He laughed at Tigress and her sudden reaction to chocolate. "I like her." He said of Tigress. "How did you end up meeting her?" He posed the question to Samara.
Samara lowered her hood and pushed her sleeves up, showing the burns from her car accident. "Pulled me out of a burning car when my dad and I got hit. He died on impact and I was trapped...seatbelt wouldn't dislodge, and...next thing I knew there was a giant ghostly tiger grinning at me before slashing the belt and pulling me out with her teeth," she said, looking away.
Tigress nodded, grinning. "Literally pulled her butt outta the fire. And I been with her since. It's been a few weeks, and she doesn't like me much, but I'm optimistic."
As she got closer she quickly figured out who the spirits were bonded too but while she wanted to talk to them she was still working. Luckily there was an easy way to learn more, in the form of an invisible floating shark. "Can you go talk to them while I handle the tigers?" The Shark Spirit sighed but changed directions to the giant Eagle and Tiger.
Despite Swimmer's path being shorter than Sarahs he arrived at the roughly same time she entered the tiger cage. "Ehm, hey there. Didn't expect to run into any other Spirits."
Tigress looked over as the Shark swam up and she grinned. "Shark! Haven't seen one of your kind of Spirit in a long time!" she said, clearly happy to meet another one. "What kind of odds is this?! Three of us in one spot!?"

"Oh damn." Alex observed the burns and felt horrible about how Samara and Tigress met. While he was getting to do something he loved, she was facing a traumatic experience including losing a parent. "I'm so sorry that happened to you." One thing that wasn't lost on Alex was how recent this human and spirit paired up, compared to he and Wingsy who had been together for 7 years.
During their conversation, it took a unique turn when another spirit was spotted with it now being the shark.
"Alex, the odds of 3 spirits being here at the same time are not great. Perhaps there is something with this establishment that is pulling us here."
"Maybe. I'm just psyched to meet more people like me!" Alex responded, looking in the direction of the shark spirit and their user.

"So let me get this straight... you'd rather not be paid to rough people up? I'm offering you a job as Security...and my name is Gregory... not Leo..." Gregory said with an eyebrow raised.
"Listen I'm sure Jail and Prison is full of fun and exquisite cuisine... but would you not rather continue to be free? Enjoy the luxuries of not being incarcerated? You are brash but I don't think you're an idiot. Or perhaps you're too prideful to make an honest living with someone who's security you just incapacitated... my offer stands for the next 10 seconds after which I will let my team go forth with their sense of avenging their comrade and then afterwards you take a trip to the booking station."
Wilde had an expression of indifference and seriousness. Nothing in his tone coming off as a bluff.
Hakim watched from a distance as he shook his head. "I guess assholes can have Beast Spirits too? Why would a Spirit partner with someone like that?"
"Perhaps there's more than the surface with him..."

Samara retreated back into her hoodie, yanking the sleeves down and pushing her thumbs through the holes she'd cut out before drawing her hood back up. "Not your fault," she said, looking away. "We got t-boned by a drunk in a truck, went off the cliff. I don't know how I survived...but....there's days I wish I didn't..."

Kenn blinked for a mere minute and then laughed, "You really think I'm gonna be your little lapdog? What a joke! All you care about is money and money only. You don't know what its like to have people turn their backs on you when you need them the most," he pointed his finger at Gregory. "You don't know the pain we feel nor what we got to go through! You have no respect for people who had suffered throughout their lives. So let me give you a firm answer," he said as he took a breath.
"FUCK... YOU."

"Hello! A pleasure to see another spirit, especially a water based one. It has been such a long time since I've encountered another spirit, much less a water based one." Wingsy responded to Swimmer, feeling very curious after years of not seeing one spirit and now 3 are in the same place at the same time.
"Samara, right?" Alex said, making sure that he didn't screw up her name. "My bad for triggering a bad memory but it's not cool for you to be talking like that. You survived for a reason and I'm sure you've got plenty to live for." Alex was always about living life to the fullest and to hear someone echo thoughts that involve willingly giving up their lives for reasons that weren't heroic in nature tends to get to him.

Swimmer smiled at Tigress's enthusiasm. Same here, I haven't seen another Spirit in ages. The eagle did have a good point about how weird it was that there suddenly so many in one spot but it seemed the conversation took a darker turn. He honestly had no idea how to react to what Samara just said and just floated in the air feeling awkward, luckily for him the other human spoke up.
Meanwhile Sarah was in the tiger cage and dropped off a pumpkin filled with treats they could play with, wondering what Swimmer and the other Spirits were talking about.

Tigress scratched at her shoulder, shaking her fur out and huffing. "You'll get used to her sour attitude, I promise." She looked at Swimmer and smiled. "So, what's your name? I just call myself Tigress."
"I did. But my girlfriend said I was crazy and all my so-called friends left me when I needed them the most. I tried college but just dropped out because I couldn't stomach the looks because of the burns," Samara said. "Wish I had your optimistic outlook, friend. But I just ain't built that way anymore. Watching my dad die probably did it."

Alex smiled when Tigress chimed in regarding Samara's attitude but it was hard to keep said smile when Samara explained how her friends up and abandoned her when things got rough, something else that wasn't cool in his book.
"That sucks ass." Alex admitted with a sigh. "It really does. But you're still here at the end of the day and you have a furry friend who has your back. Plus you just made two new friends who won't turn their back on you."
"Two? Alex, must you volunteer me for such things without consulting me first?"
"Forgive my majestic friend." Alex chuckled. "He tends to be a bit of a stick in the mud sometimes. He'll warm up to you though."

Gregory shrugged as he turned around giving a nod to his security team as several more showed up. "Very well... some are content to being just what they are. I suppose for you it's the 'Thug Life' right? Shame. Mr. Rodriguez please inform the police we have an unwanted guest here." Wilde began to walk off disappointment in his face as the guards made sure Kenn would go nowhere.
Hakim shook his head watching the ordeal. "Should've took the deal... but thay Gregory dude... he's no joke... no way I wouldn't get the same treatment if he found out I was living here..."
"Hakim... I feel a disturbance... it's... it's in the sky..."
Hakim raised and eyebrow and looked outside as the originally bright and sunny sky was suddenly dark with a purple tint. Hakim checked his phone and it was only 4pm nowhere near time for night and the forcast had no indication of rain.
"Huh... that's weird..."
