Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

	How about I get the tour and biology lesson and I'll point out any similarities to planets I've been to before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fair enough. [ She steps inside, abandoning his hand in favor of picking up a chubby puppy ] This... is a dog. They come in a lot of shapes and sizes. This one is only a puppy though, so it'll get a little bigger than this when it's grown. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He reaches over and gives it a touch that is somewhere between a pet and a curious poke of a finger.] Big enough to ride? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-08 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ She laughs a little. ] Maybe when you're a kid, but... nope. Not that big. If you want to see something you can ride, we can always go say hi to the horses after we're done here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'll consider it. At the moment he's found the kittens and grabs an orange one. It swaps playfully at him.] Cute. Do they have any insects here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She'll just snug the hell out of that puppy, lacking anything else to snug the hell out of. ] Insects..? Not that I've seen... then again, they do have some weird things in here. There's dragons! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would it be safe to assume there are tarantulas he can love and care for? wraith_7 2014-02-08 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	[He sets the kitten down and starts wandering around, eying the fish.] I've got two glass prowlers on base. These cute little insects, they're kind of clear looking, about the size of a hand. Very adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure! Anything domesticated and non-dangerous. The FAQ has more info pushedback 2014-02-08 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	Glass prowlers..? What do they look like? I mean, aside from the size. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-09 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Uh, standard insects, I guess. At least as far as number of body parts goes. Some sort of mantis, I think. They're pretty cute. [He sets the kitten back down and begins to wander around again, peering at a dragon. It looks a little underwhelmed by him, and the feeling seems to be mutual. Glancing back at the puppy she's holding he adds,] You should get that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She watches him browse, feeling surprisingly caught red handed when he turns his attention back her way. ] What, to take home? [ Well... ] He's cute, but I don't know if I should have a dog right now. I mean, the apartment is still really empty but with the way people disappear around here I'd hate for him to end up alone if I go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Phanan very nearly says 'And yet here you are making friends with me' but that's a little dark even for his sense of humor. So he just shrugs and smiles.] I'll feed it if you do. That's what friends do, right?

[He glances around some more and spots a tank against the wall with something big and fuzzy and eight legged inside. His face lights up in a way that happened with none of the cute baby animals and he peers inside at the spider.] Wow! What's that?

[ It's a surprising thing to say, seeing as they only just started hanging out. It makes her smile in stupid ways and suddenly it's very very tempting to keep the little puppy, just for that. What's even going on in her head today? ]

Well, in that case... [ She hoists it up in her arms, readjusting her grip and giggling some as it licks at her nose. Of course, her attention is soon drawn to whatever it is he's found. ]

Oh, I guess they do have insects... it's a spider. I don't know which kind.

[What can he say? Its cute. Cuteness should be preserved.] Of course you have to pick out a name.

[He's not really paying that much attention to the puppy, which is boring in comparison to what the label next to the tank is telling him is a tarantula. He sticks his hand in without a second thought; he likes creepy crawlies. The spider seems to eye it critically then hops onto the palm of his hand and he scoops it up, beaming like a kid in a candy shop.] I've always liked bugs, ever since I discovered at a very young age how good they are at getting a reaction out of girls.

	[ She tenses some as he pulls the spider out, more out of instinct than any sort of deep-seated fear. Chuck doesn't scare easily. ] You like scaring girls, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-10 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, when I was eight. [Phanan replies dryly, stroking the spider with one finger. It looks like it still hasn't made up its mind about the whole situation.] Anyway, this one is far too cute and fluffy to be scary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-10 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose it's kind of cute... [ The puppy does not seem to agree, squirming and wriggling in her arms to the point where setting it down seems like the only sensible option. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-11 02:09 am UTC (link)
	[He laughs and reluctantly sets the tarantula down in the tank once more, crouching down and giving the puppy a reassuring scratch behind the ears.] Alright, so maybe our future pets aren't meant to be friends the way we are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-11 10:52 am UTC (link)
	Eh, they'll come around to it... and even if they don't, it's not like we need to arrange our playdates according to their preferences. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-11 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	[He grins, privately thrilled that he really is getting a new friend out of this - Chuck, not the tarantula. Its a nice thought.] So, what are you going to name it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-12 11:56 am UTC (link)
	I don't know... I've never named a dog before. A couple of bees when I was a kid, but it was way too difficult to keep them apart so I stopped. Any suggestions? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-17 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	Not really, I've only ever named my astromech unit. Insects don't usually live long enough to be worth naming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-17 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	What did you name it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-17 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	Gadget. See? Not too creative with names. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-17 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	That's not a bad name. No worse than Digby, that's for sure. [ Hmn. ] Mind if I borrow it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-02-18 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. I thing Gadget would be thrilled. [He gives the puppy a scratch behind the ears to apologize for the spider incident.] People always say droids don't have personalities but I'm not sure that's quite true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
