2: do you want to be oddinary?

Harsh daylight beat down upon the backs of busy people, as they rushed about the city like bees in a hive. 

One straggler stood out from the crowd, clad in black from head to toe; the only light to his appearance being his fair, freckled skin, silvery-blonde hair - which he tied into a neat ponytail - and the very slight white accents on the collar of his jacket.

Lee Felix was beyond irritated.

Had he not suffered an unfortunate spike of curiosity at the stranger who visited him last night, he could have been sleeping on top of the building he'd settled on during his adventures in the dark.

Instead as the clouds darkened, he found himself at a crosswalk, with a bus stop on the other side of the road. Something told him that was where he wanted to end up.

A light sprinkle began to fall as the weather abruptly became overcast, and he pushed impatiently through the zombie-like march of business people as they charged at him from the other side of the crosswalk, some barely even looking up from their phones.

The ones who did just gave him strange looks.

He stood outside that pathetic-looking bus stop for hours before the bus he wanted finally arrived. The day had long gone and as he hailed the driver, the cool night air swept any stray strands of hair out of his face.

He stepped purposefully onto the bus, flicking his transport card against the fare machine before striding down towards the middle for an empty seat. Oddly, there were a lot of passengers still on this bus though it would have easily been past when they finished work.

Felix played with the padlock as he stared dismally out of the window, sighing impatiently to himself. As the bus slowed due to traffic, a half torn "MISSING PERSON" poster caught his attention on the front window of an old record store; very obviously closed down for many years.

A gorgeous individual stared out at him from the black and white confinements he resided in, his eyes almost seeming to glint slightly in the moonlight. Just as Felix felt himself begin to grow slightly curious, the padlock suddenly gave him what felt very similar to an electric shock.

Up ahead was a bus stop, so he immediately signaled he was departing and got off of the bus, finding himself to be in what looked like a deserted laneway. The record store poster began to burn a small hole in the back of his mind, until he was sure it had to mean something.

So he began to walk back the way that the bus had turned at quite a pace, his footsteps lighter than that of a cat. The record store soon came into view, seeming to pull him in even stronger the closer he got to it.

As he reached the entrance, the gorgeous eyes of the man on the poster seemed to glint once again at him. It was then that he realized there was a small, intricately drawn arrow on the bottom left corner of the poster - a corner that had in fact been detached from the rest of the paper due to whatever it was that had torn it.

His eyes followed where it pointed, noticing an extremely narrow alleyway between the adjoining stores. He quickly slid down it, pacing all the way to the end, where another arrow was drawn in stark white paint upon the bricks. He rounded the corner, breathing out a sigh of content as he finally appeared to have reached his destination.
