Since they had arrived here, Tom has been itching to explore - just a little, but Hal had given him strict orders to stay inside, until they knew it was safe. Which was just about the most stupid thing he'd ever heard! Oh sure, he understood staying away from a bunch of vampires and werewolves, that was plain common sense! He couldn't see a stick of rock doing any harm to him though, unless it chocked him.

Sulkily he paced the length of the lobby, giving the check in computer evil looks as he passed. It had been a good idea, checking out, but no matter what they did they couldn't make the computer do what they wanted. Which was just plain wrong! Machines were supposed to do what people told them, not the other way around, even if Tom had used it to start with, under the impression it would help, but it didn't help, it trapped him here. For a moment he wondered what would happen if he tried to break it. Would he get into trouble - with anyone other than Hal, that is? Probably best not to try, just in case.

Which left him wondering what, exactly, he could do!

He looked over at the door and shrugged. Tom was certain that Hal would far rather he go for a little walk outside than damage perfectly good hotel computers. He nodded decisively and headed out the door.

This world was super-strange, and it all smelled really good! His wolf senses were in heaven, as he wandered away from the path, his stomach rumbling happily at the fruity, sugary scents. It took a lot of effort not to mark his territory, but the way Tom saw it, this was probably not stuff he should pee over. Just in case someone decided to try something he'd passed. He was considerate like that!
