Sometimes quicksand has a massive appeal to me
Who: Daisy and Joseph
Where: Home
When: Evening
'She brought me toys to play with.'
For Joseph, who was busy rifling through wallets that were most definitely not his own, this was not the opportune moment for his familiar to decide that he wanted to have a conversation. Actually, no time was a good time for that. Bandit had a habit of being annoying and the raccoon was all too aware of that. Not only did he know that he was annoying, but he knew the best things to do in order to be more annoying. Oh yes, he could be more annoying than he was simply by existing. It tended to involve him being in the same room with that look on his face. The look that Daisy would have squealed over while Joseph just rolled his eyes and stared back until he went away. "Good for you," he said after a few minutes when it became obvious the raccoon was not going to just toddle off and leave him be. "Why don't you go play with them? You know I'm busy." Committing fraud was a complicated matter these days and one had to be very good and extremely careful if they did not want to get caught and charged. For Joseph, getting caught would mean going back to that special jail since that was where he was supposed to be right now. Only he doubted that whoever they sent to get him would be fully aware of his abilities and he saw nothing wrong with roasting a few police officers if it kept him free.
'They're kids toys.'
"Your hands are closer to kid size than adult," Joseph pointed out as he compared ID's. Whoever Joseph Brown was his credit report was not going to be liking him this next month. Joseph was in the mood for a new wardrobe and if Daisy tagged along then god only knew how much money would be spent. Girls liked their things. "What d'you think she's going to get you? An Xbox? C'mon, you wouldn't even know what to do with it." That hiss told Joseph exactly what Bandit thought of that statement and the elemental just grinned. "It's true and we both know it. Just accept it already fuzzball and go play with whatever the hell it is before I hang you from the tree by your tail." Bandit could see into his mind and therefore the raccoon should be completely aware that it was a serious threat. Tail-hanging would not endanger Joseph's own life and therefore it was an acceptable thing to do. That it would bother people who believed in the ethical treatment of animals did not even phase him. Why would it? It was his damn familiar and he would do whatever he wanted with it.
While Bandit wandered off, muttering at Joseph as he went, the fire elemental leaned back in his chair and held one hand up, flames flickering to life around it. Today was a better day than yesterday. Yesterday had been completely awful thanks to all of the rain that had come from who knew where. The local news station had made jokes about angry air elementals, but Joseph was inclined to believe that was the cause. He always looked for the supernatural reason first. It was just a whole world of unfair that air elementals could raze a town with their element and not get dragged into custody for it. Should Joseph sweep his element through the city then a lynch mob would probably form. "That's a double staaaandard," he sang as he climbed to his feet and stretched out. His stomach gave a growl as he did, reminding him that it was right around time for something to eat. While he could have gone and made it himself there was a much, much easier way to do it... "Daisy!" Where was she anyway? Joseph had lost track of her after he had peeled her off of him and pushed her away for the fifth or so time because he was busy.
