Getting By
Shiro took a look at her purse before sighing heavily. She'd already made many cut backs this month, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't have enough money to afford food for the rest of the month.
"Argh! Curse you school, for not paying when you are responsible for doing so! To let a young girl starve due to your lack of responsibility, you disgust me!" she yelled towards the empty building. It was Saturday and just shy of 5am, Shiro was out on her morning run. She'd stopped on a park bench when her stomach rumbled for the millionth time. It probably wasn't a million though, Shiro couldn't count after all. She'd had minimal pickings the day before and gone to bed without dinner, hoping she could scramble something together. Unfortunately, she hadn't managed and was still hungry.
Of course there were numerous options open to her; dumpster diving, stealing,or borrowing or..... perhaps she could catch her own fish? It couldn't be too hard to get a fisherman to take her with him... could it? Well, she would damn well try!
By 6am Shiro was out by the wharf, clad in mysterious army-like gear asking around for a lift.

Re: Getting By
Dantae staggered down some weird street he'd never been on and contemplated his choices in life.
Specifically the bad ones that had led him to end up by some lake who knew how far from the school at who knew what time. He'd stopped being able to read his watch at 2:00AM. By 4:00AM he barely remembered his name.
It was now 6:00AM and the young idiot was finally sobering up. Ugg. What had possessed him to go out with those people!? One of them had been mildly attractive, but not any better than what he found at school on a daily basis.
The blond looked around blearily. Suddenly, he froze. That figure. He KNEW that figure. She rather stood out with the strange clothes and her short frame. What was she doing here?! Perhaps the pres liked to party too?
Dantae stood awkwardly in the middle of the road, trying to decide on approaching or turning tail. If she hadn't been out last night and had actually willingly woken up this early...well...Dantae was fairly sure he wanted no part of whatever crazy scheme she'd thought up this time...

Re: Getting By
Shiro had just found a willing party, who had offered to let her join them if she shared half her catch. Bait was cheap enough that it was free labour for the guy. She whooped, fisting the air in happiness and did a sweet-as spin in victory when she spotted a familiar figure standing in the middle of the road. A grin painted her face as she realised she could get twice the amount of fish with a second person. It was basic addition that she understood.
After muttering a quick word to the man, Shiro ran over, grabbed Dantae's arm and tried to pull him towards the boat.
