An eerie clicking noise echoed through the maze-like alleyways of West City's downtown streets.
Unnoticed by the many drunkards, dealers and beggars that paraded around these alleyways as if it were their own home, something was watching them from the shadows.
From the blackest corner of the corridor, hidden among piles of trash, he skulked.
The clicking and low growling was eventually heard by one very unfortunate man. A bearded homeless man straggled to his feet, slowly and dazedly shuffling toward the source of the unnerving noise.
The poor drunkard tripped over his own feet, tumbling face-first into the bags of trash. Yet a mere moment before the impact could disturb the silence...-
-GRIP-
A clawed hand launched itself from the darkness, violently grabbing onto the man's face to cover both mouth and nose. Sharp claws slowly dug into skin as the beast's grip tightened, violently yanking the poor man into the darkness along with it.
After a brief silence, a loud chewing could be heard from that specific spot. The stench easily masked itself into the surrounding miasma of garbage and rotting food.
"Aaahh...-" A sigh of relief echoed out of the garbage bags. It sounded awfully monstrous and insect-like. Suddenly, a certain head popped out of the garbage, maw covered in blood and bits of person. Piercing, red eyes briefly looked around to find the alleyway completely empty.
"Finally!" The creature sarcastically cheered, gigantic body springing from the pile of trash, launching the bags of waste violently across the alleyway. Empty cans clunked dully against the concrete. "Sweet release."
Virus dusted off his carapace with an uncomfortable moan, plucking a banana peel off of his shoulder and flicking it against the wall. His stomach made an uncomfortable moaning noise; It did not enjoy the alcohol-soaked flesh of an old, withered man. Go figure.
"Hhrr-kkrr-krrhh..."
He glared out of the alleyway into the open streets with hunger and anger, producing that same clicking noise. Virus was still far too tired and weak to reveal himself in a crowded place like West City...But having to literally dumpster dive for his dinner? Preposterous!
What was he, some kind of oversized Bin Chicken?
...Perhaps. Shut up.
