"So you're telling me some faunus jumped you in a back alley, just for your shoes?" A man in a long white coat with a striped vest and cargo pants said, unsure if he heard his friend correctly.
"Yeah, the guy fucking threw a trash can at my face first knocking me out cold," Shouted a man of average height and build wearing similar attire to that of his friend. "next thing I know I'm waking up covered in garbage and with bare feet"
With a barely held in a sigh of anger as he picked up a plastic cup filled with warm coffee."I tell you those filthy animals are no good to this town, gods I remember when they only lived near the mines Roy, out of sight and out of mind."
As Roy watched his friend drink from his cup he could only sigh as he stared out onto the docks. "Yeah, but after they won their rights what could we do? Continue to fight a fruitless war that was going nowhere, but yes I do agree that it would be better if they were all in Menagerie rather than make our lives harder then they are over here like a bunch of strays."
Roy laughed at that, looking off into the great blue sea from the docks "Heh, that would be a dream come true now wouldn't i-"
A loud clanging sound would interrupt the two's conversation as they both looked over to the dumpster as the lid closed shut "...you saw that right too Berry?" Roy asked as he pulled out his flashlight as it was the middle of the night before turning it on.
Berry only gave a nod as he pulled out his radio, speaking into it "Hey Sill, might want to come down, something is rummaging through the dumpster "
"Deal with it yourself Berry, call me back if anything comes up" Sill then hung up, with a sight Berry walked with Roy over to the bin. Once they were both at the bin the lid moved slightly making them nearly step back, the two briefly exchanged glances before Roy gave a frustrated sigh.
"Okay i'll open the lid and see what's inside," Roy said breathing as he opened the lid, for a moment he saw nothing in the random trash that one was to expect to find in a port dumpster before he saw a pair of eyes and jumped back in fright dropping the lid as he fell down on his ass.
"Roy are you okay!" Berry shouted as he helped his friend back on his feet. Blinking a few times and nursing his but Roy pointed as the dumpster "There's some kind of animal in there" With a deadpan Berry stared at Roy "So you got scared by some stray cat?"
Roy was annoyed by that "No! I mean, whatever is in there is an't no cat I have ever seen." Berry raised an eyebrow at that before crossing his arms "Look, let us both open the lid of that trash bin and see what is really in there together, sound good?"
Roy groaned before calming himself "Fine, let's just get this over with, its almost the end of my shift and I have to get back home to my wife or I will never hear the end it" With them both placing a hand on the lid and holding their flashlights with the other, the two looked at each other before nodding and opening up the dumpster, pointing their flashlight to see inside.
What they saw was, not really what either of them were expecting to find in a dumpster. Inside was a kid in a t-shirt and blue jeans crouching down, his short brown hair was a mess and it seemed he was homeless given that his clothes looked as if they had not been cleaned in a while. The child's most striking, and what the two men found the extremely unnerving, was that he had rectangular pupils while his iris along with the rest of his eye was a reddish orange.
The two men stared at the weird child, the child looked back with his eyes seemingly piercing their very souls. Soon the kid made some odd noise before standing up and climbing out of the dumpster as the two men stepped back.
"Berry...I think that kids a faunus." Roy said as the kid slowly climbed his way out of the dumpster and onto the floor. Berry just looked a the child scratching his head "Yeah I think so too, given the creepy ass eye's they have, I'm thinking he a goat faunus" The goat faunus looked over at them with an expression that seemed blank and kinda dumb looking, making it hard for one to discern what they were thinking.
"So, what fuck are going to do with this...kid?" Roy said not really sure how to react here, he then felt something tug on his coat and looked to find the faunus chewing on it. "I-Hey Get Off me!"
Roy tried pulling his coat away from the kid, only for the kid to bite down harder and soon tared a piece off. While Roy shouted in angry at the fact his coat was not ruined Berry just watched in shock as the goat faunus chewed the piece of cloth before swallowing it.
"I..I don't.." he was a lost for words while Roy simply was annoyed "Really you little shit, you had to take a bite out of coat!" the kid eyes had a look of confusion and he blinked as if not really aware of what he did meant. "Roy calm down man, I know you hate faunus but lay off the damn kid okay"
Roy had a twitch to his eye as he turned his head over to Berry "Oh so its bad for a faunus to steal my shoes, but its perfectly fine for one to try and eat my coat?!" Berry simply narrowed his eyes as Roy shouted at him "No, all im saying is that you should not be shouting at a kid with that kind of language"
As the two friends then started to argue the young faunus started to get bored before hearing the sound of a boat and smiled mischievously. Roy was just about had it with Berry before the kid bumped into him and ran off quickly "Hey watch where you're going you no good-" He then stopped when he felt his pocket was empty and found that his wallet was gone.
"...oh that little shit is going to die." Roy said before running after the faunus with Berry right behind him "Roy wait! Don't do something you'll regret!" As they cased the kid all over the docks the two soon lost track of him with Roy fuming with angry "OH MY GOD!" he shouted out before taking a breather "How hard is it to catch one kid, were is the goat eyed fucker anyway" Berry had catched up to Roy by now, breathing heavily as he looked around. "Um...Roy?" Berry said looking over at the ocean.
"What is that your looking at...oh by the bothers balls" Roy and Berry looked on as the goat Faunus stuck their tongue out mocking them as he was on a ship that was already sailing off into the distance in victory.
Roy and Berry simply stood there baffled before Berry looked over to his defeated friend "Want me to call Sill?" Roy simply shook his head "No, it won't do any good, let's get the fuck back to work" Berry stood at the edge of the docs as Roy walked back to the main building and looked back towards the ship that was barely visible now and shrugged "Well, that kids no longer our problem anymore."
With that, he walked off to join Roy on their sift, and as for our goat boy? Well, the world just became a much bigger and exciting place now for him to explore. Who knows, maybe he will find something tasty to eat on this boat and mess with the crew for a bit.
