Ah~ the city of New Eridu...who knew the apocalypse would be this chill, right? If it weren't for the surge of The Hollows! They're the reason the apocalypse even happened. The appearance of these mysterious disasters is on the rise, tensions are hi...
After the string of hectic and stressful days, the Phaethon siblings and the people close to them were in dire need of some form of relaxation. Taking advantage of the fact that Sundays were the slowest days for the video store, Wise decided to leave it closed for the day.
He didn't bother getting out of bed for the first few minutes after waking up. He texted his two employees, Heddy and Sjal, that they had the day off. The two girls quickly responded to the message, leaving Wise to simply sit back and relax. Current time, 8:00 AM.
Outside of the store, Kiba walked through the streets of the slow and peaceful Sixth Street. He huffed and mumbled under his breath as he walked, clearly annoyed. Due to the fact he lives alone, he doesn't have much money. In other words, he was dead broke.
He couldn't buy a lot of his stuff new, which made it all the more annoying that his TV remote decided to just fail on him the night before. Smacking it didn't work. Was it the batteries? Nope, even with a new set it didn't work.
Kiba: (Ugh... This is what I get for getting junk...)
After repeatedly trying to get it to work a few more times, he just gave up and decided to get it to the most trusted tech mechanic he knew. Enzo, from the Turbo Remodelling Shop.

The boy walked inside the store, a bell above the doorway ringing as he opened and closed the door behind him. His gaze was immediately drawn to a distinctive head of spiky white hair and a red jacket. The figure looked back and smiled despite not having a mouth.
Billy: Buddy, perfect! I was just gonna text you for help with something...
The black and white-haired boy nodded, his hands in his pockets as he walked up to stand beside the taller man.
Kiba: What is it?
Billy: I'm thinking of switching lubricant brands. Should I go for a thinner one, or a thicker one?
Kiba: You're thinking of WHAT?!
The boy's eyes widened in shock. WHY THE HELL WAS BILLY BUYING LUBE?! The taller male turned around showing two bottles of machine lubricant.
