Cappy yawned as he walked around with his headdress feather's blowing in the wind. He carried his back pack which was caked with all sorts of paint and designs with cans of spray paint sticking out the sides. He was looking for something to tag, to express himself on and needed to do it quick and easy. There was the walls but he knew it would probably get cleaned off and then there was the ground which would also probably get cleaned off.

He strolled around outside scoping places out until he had found the right spot. Usually he would do some pre planning and would have had a place a week before but today was different. He had got a strong urge to come out and paint and without hesitation he grabbed his supplies and headed out.

After his extensive search and a probably a waste of time he found an object that no one could really argue unless they like dumpsters. That's right today's object was in fact three dumpsters all lined up beside each other. "Hmm....Ideas are just flowing!" setting down his bookbag he unzipped it taking out his cool custom respirator painting mask (featuring colourful LED lights) and put it on. Next he took out the spray paint, some stencils , and lot's of newspaper. "It is summer so I should do something to represent that like a beach!"

He picked up the base color which was white and rattled the can as he pulled out tape and tearing bits off with his mouth. Several minutes later he had the stencils up and he was now spraying on the paint.

"This is going to be great!"

It was one of those days; the days that In Suk chose to dumpster dive. Most of the time, when she chose to do this, she never thought the process through, or considered the consequences of rain, people or incoming garbage. Nevertheless, she enjoyed every second of being able to rummage through the treasures that others obviously saw as trash. It wasn't rare for her to find unique parts to add to her collection. It made her stay at Manta Carlos a bit more bearable.

Her timing for the right day to dumpster dive apparently had been off, as she saw someone moving outside. She was in between two of the dumpsters, with a foot of garbage on her head. In Suk looked and smelled gross. Even if this person was just passing by, In Suk would have no way to know for sure. Her phone had been left beside the far right, which was where her metallic dragonfly laid, as well as some body spray and a sweater. Her mother tongue would do her no good if this person did not speak it. In Suk playfully bit her lip as the smell of rotten eggs filled her nose. She was done for today. With the pieces she had collected in her hands, she moved through the garbage and popped her head out from it all. There was a dark brown banana peel on her head.

He was doing great so far. He was able to apply the base paint to each of the dumpsters and was now applying the base for the wave. He exchanged the stencils placing one with a wave like formation. Just as he started applying the blue paint on to the dumpster he heard movement.

Stopping for a moment he looked up to witness a head pop out of the trash causing him to flinch and jump back a bit. Realizing it was just a girl? He released a sigh of relief. "Oh...not a dumpster monster. " Well with the mask on he couldn't really smell how horrible she smelt and got closer. "You got something on your head." his voice was a bit muffled with the mask on and he pointed at the banana on top of her head if she couldn't hear him. "Uh...Hi. I didn't know there was someone in there. Sorry for um...well..." Cappy wasn't sure if he should apologize or not at all. It wasn't liked this happened everyday!

Well he just stood there awkwardly looking at her taking a few glances back at the paint not sure how to go about this situation. "Umm. Do you need help getting out?" he said while reaching his hand out for her to grab it. He was now assuming that she lived in there like Oscar the grouch or had a really bad day.

In Suk stared at the man in front of her. The minute he started to speak what seemed like the English language, she was lost. Her only real option was to stand there and pretend she understood what the man was saying. This was not good at all! If only she had her phone, or some way to quickly get out of this dumpster without having to make a big scene of things. Thankfully, the man pointed to her head, which was the only thing she really understood. In Suk tapped it, before she felt the slimy thing and flicked it off like a disease. At least the man was helpful.

The rest of the words were gibberish to her, which made for a rather perplexed look on her face. It looked like he was saying something important, but what was it. In Suk needed to get out of the dumpster, and fast. Her little body vaulted out of the garbage, before she accidentally tumbled into a front flip which ended with her face first on the ground. Very smooth In Suk...

It was as if she wasn't understanding what he was saying. That or she was completely ignoring him. It was not his first time getting completely ignored by someone anyway. Cappy just stood there still trying to make sense of the situation. Since he wasn't painting at the moment he didn't necessarily need the mask so he removed it.

That was a bad choice on his part. She...no the trash stinked. She just happened to be cover in it. Okay yep she smelt liked trash. He didn't mention it but his nose crinkling probably gave it away. He watched as she moved not accepting his hand to get out and tried to on her own.

Now he wasn't no expert or anything but when she vaulted out the dumpster her form was wrong? He noticed that she was going down and was somehow going forward towards the ground. He skateboard he does tricks, this didn't look good for her. He didn't hesitate to catch her just before her face hit the ground since as funny that could have been he wasn't going to let it happen. "Geez you could have really busted open your nose right there." he got her and then set her down and looked over himself and his arms was now covered in dumpster filth. He frowned as the smell hit his nose and then sighed. Examing himself more he noticed the filth on his shirt. "Great." He tried to wipe it off but that only made it worse and he only brought a spare for when he was finished painting.

Going to his back he pulled out a red tank top which had some bear with shades on it. He removed his shirt and used that to wipe his arms off and then put on the tank top. He then turned to face the dumpster girl.

"You mind telling me why you were in the dumpster?" Nope he still didn't assume she didn't speak English or understood a single word he was saying.

As he helped her up, she saw the look of disgust that was plastered on his face. Was the smell getting to him? She surely hoped not, as she couldn't even smell it anymore. In Suk rubbed her nose furiously, to make sure that that it wasn't bleeding. As she pulled her hand away, only a small bit came out. Good, her fall had been successful.

As as he took off his now filthy shirt, she looked away and crawled over to her things. First, she sprayed way too much body spray on herself, too much to even be able to smell the trash all over her. Next, she let her dragonfly friend to fly up and nest into her scalp. In Suk smiled. Her slimy hands fumbled onto her phone, to which she opened her translation app. The only problem was that it rather badly translated. No matter. She peeked over to see if the man was dressed, and when he was, she stood and walked over to the man with her phone 2 inches from his face. 'I no speak English.' It translated back in his tongue. If he wanted to take it, the phone was rather loose in her hands.

Once Cappy turned around he noticed her spraying herself down and the bit of red coming from her nose. So she still face planted. When she came over with the phone, Cappy looked at the words and sighed. So she wasn't ignoring him and she couldn't speak english.

He wasn't sure if he was supposed to take the phone or not and was a bit confused on how this was going to work. Did he just say something to the phone and it would translate back for her or did he have to type it in? He didn't want to get bad eye sight for having the screen close to his face so he backed away and took the phone? He then tried speaking in it. "How does this thing work....and Hi?" most of the time when he met people it was simple greetings however he never had the issue of someone not being able to understand a single word he was saying.

"Um anyway, Hi I'm Cappy." He said pointing at himself when he said his name. Maybe this could workout?

It was funny to watch the man fiddle with her phone. From the actions he was doing, it looked as if he had never used a phone before. Poor thing. In Suk giggled and took the phone from him after he had said his words, to which it translated rather badly. In Suk tried her best to understand it, before she replied back to the man. 'Deaf too'. She typed out for the man, though she wondered if it was spelt well enough. After a few seconds of it being up in his face to read, she pulled it back to her thumbs to type another message. 'I'm In Suk.' The girl replied over text for the boys' name. It sounded weird to voice out in her head.

Cappy knew how to work phones it's just he couldn't figure out this app. He let the girl take the phone and watched her as she typed her words slightly embarrassed when he heard her giggle. Reading what she typed he was now lost. She didn't speak english and she is deaf? That sucks...maybe he was reading it wrong?

"It must be hard communicating with others." Cappy stated, still obviously not used to this way of conversation. He never had to talk to someone who couldn't understa- actually he had a few. Cappy read the screen again pronouncing her name as best he could. "In Suk? Is that right?"

He took the phone again and spoke once more. "Um...didn't mean to interrupt whatever you was doing in the dumpsters. What exactly where you doing anyway?" He gave the phone back to her and waited for a reply. He was getting used to this way of communication.

'It is hard.' The phone had that message pop up for him. In Suk found it very hard to communicate with people that did not speak her mother tongue. Impossible almost, as everything that the translator put in didn't always turn out as proper. That's what In Suk disliked the most about it for sure. As she looked up, she saw him mouth out her word and then nodded just so subtly to let him know that it at least looked right.

When the phone was given back to her, her eyes traced over it, as she tried to piece together how she was going to explain it. 'For parts. I was looking for parts.' It wasn't overly descriptive, but writing a wall of text didn't seem like the best option. It would turn out as gibberish for the boy.
