Gross, Criminal Strangers...

  Suddenly though, Storm saw the male's pupils pause their movements as something had most likely caught his attention.
  And surprisingly, it wasn't on Storm's mask. But they were locked on Storm's...neck. Specifically the thing around Storm's neck. The
  young sire knew exactly what this suspicious zebra was staring at off the bat. He could quite literally see the reflection of the
  shiny, golden dog tag in the greedy lavender hues of the zebra. This made Storm feel...very uncomfortable, causing his pointy
  ears to pin back and take a small step backward while the music slowly began to sound more foggy in his ears. "Storm..." he said in
  a low, quiet and a rather ominous voice. The hero froze up with fear and stared at the zebra with widened eyes staring right into
  the lavender optics of the stranger. Suddenly, he'd see his pupils quickly shift up and look at Storm directly in his. Storm began to
  tremble a little as he'd feel...very intimidated by the blinged out zebra. However, the stranger would take another quiet step
  forward with a slight pinch of his brows as his ear flickered in the background. Storm gulped and sweat nervously while having
  to raise his head up some more from how close the zebra was to him. Suddenly though when everything was tense and quiet, the
  crook swiftly snatched Storm's collar right off his fluffy neck with his royal purple telekinesis. "SEE YA!!!" he shouted loudly and
  enthusiastically before galloping away loudly. Storm's eyes instantly widened with pure fear and panic stained in them as
  he'd frantically try and get his pupils to find this thief. Thankfully, he managed...however, he'd only get a small glimpse
  of the tail end of the crook before he ran right into the sea of many, many animals. Now Storm really looked horrified and
  panicked. 'OhnowhatdoIdowhatdoIdo?????' he thought to himself while he stood frozen there in shock. "GET BACK HERE!!!!" he
  shouted loudly with panic in his voice before running after the blinged out thief as fast as his legs could take him. He'd push
  and run through the large crowd without even saying a single 'excuse me' while desperately trying to find the zebra.
  Unfortunately, he'd still only get glimpses of the tail and dazzled up pants of the zebra. However, not too long in his chase, he...lost
  him. Once he realized this, he halted to a complete stop. Frantically darting his pupils around in the ground as he'd
  breathe heavily in his mask. "Where did-..." he mumbled, desperately trying to find the blingy stranger while also slowly
  losing hope. But all he'd see was the bustling, large crowd getting to where they needed. "Oh no..." he stated with a rather low tone
  to his voice as he'd turn around and try to look for the thief from behind him. Unfortunately, he didn't see the horse there either
  at all. However, he'd suddenly get his attention caught on a zebra. This instantly made his ears perk up with widened eyes,
  but he'd quickly realize that this wasn't who he was looking for at all. They didn't even have the checkered pattern or all the bling.
  Seeing this false hope made Storm instantly look and feel hopeless, causing his ears to flatten with his tail drooping low to
  the dirty carpet.

"Great...I already got mugged for doing nothing..." Storm stated
  with a frown and a monotonous voice. He'd slowly look back forward and try so hard to think about what to do. 'How am I
  even supposed to find him anymore? He's so fast...and there's no way i'm going to sniff him out either. There's way too many animals
  around here...plus, I don't wanna get second-hand smoke anyway...my collar magic doesn't even work on dying from
  diseases...I think.' He lengthily thought in a shameful silence while animals passed him by from all directions and even gave
  him some odd looks. Probably because he was underaged. But most likely because of the respirator. 'Well what else am I even
  supposed to do??? Find him??? This place is giant!!!...Who knows where he is by now...probably trading it for gold...or more fancy
  jewelry.' Storm gave a quivery pout with glossy eyes before fully giving up and lowering his head to the ground in shame as he'd
  trot forward slowly through the crowd. The animals around could practically smell the disappointment, shame and
  hopelessness from the poor boy. But they didn't want to deal with socializing with him, so they just ignored him and passed right by
  him and acted like he didn't even exist. Which is probably what he wanted in all honesty as he'd keep trotting forward slowly in
  shame before it faded to black.
