01 [ action/handwritten, notebook paper ]

[action]

[Sometime during the night, if anyone is still up and walking about despite all the strange creatures lurking around, they might see a young man carrying a box. It's fairly typical, really--

--wait, is that a puppy poking its head up? Yes. Yes, it is.

Guess who just found a box of puppies in an alleyway and didn't have the heart to leave them there.]

[handwritten, next day in class]

So, just a question: does anyone around here have enough resources to, say, take care of a puppy? Or, you know, does anyone want one at all? I found six of them yesterday, and as much as I'd like to keep them, I don't have enough money or space to feed six dogs. Maybe one, but not six.

If there aren't any takers, I'll take them to the shelter. But I'd like to make sure at least some of them have a place to stay that isn't my apartment, cramped as it is.

[He has to use it for something.]

I figured. Still, thanks for the offer, Mr. Lyall.

Welcome. Where did you find them? And I hope you have been careful about where you go and when?

[Because of the creepy animals and black bugs, of course.]

[northless]

In an alleyway, and yeah, I have.

[Sort of. Still didn't stop a flock of freaky-toothed birds from descending on him.]

[professorwolf]

Good. There have been a lot of very odd things about, after all.

Let me know how you do with those puppies, all right?

[northless]

Like ravens with human teeth?

And you'll be the first one I'll talk to about them.

[professorwolf]

Good, good. Take care until then, all right? Those birds with teeth are more dangerous I think than is obvious. Try to stay indoors at night if you can.
