[closed] What a cute little freak

[bridgeburning]

Who: Tony & Richard & their wolpertinger, Badri
What: A brief meeting
Where: A street in Locke
When: 27th of February
Warnings: Talk about death



It's a beautiful (if quite cold) day, and the sun has brought many people out into the streets. Among those out in the streets is also a certain young man who seems especially interested in all the animals in the streets. He spends more time crouching down petting dogs, cats, and all other animals that will let themselves be petted than standing, but sometimes also hunts an animal down to catch it and then after turning it over three times pet it.

It doesn't really matter if the pet in question is out with their owner or not.

Comments

[brotimaeus]

"Really couldn't say," he commented, the firmness in his voice carefully covering the uneasiness he feels as he gently tugs Lady to heel and keeps a careful eye on Tony's movements.

"What about you, kiddo?"

[oncedevil]

Well, for being obviously very off his rocker guy's friendly at least? But yeah, he's just going to scoot Lady behind himself, nice as he may seem he'd rather her not be green.

"Well I guess it fit the theme well enough. Wait, you knew they were taking kids didn't you?"

Tony's keeping just out of immediate arm's reach, more curious than threatened by this strange dude.

"They were! In really strange ways." He waves a hand. "In bags. I'm not sure why. Is that a custom here?" He looks up at them expectantly. Surely they can explain the santa and grinches strange behaviour?

"I didn't do anything! Only made sure they looked a bit less greasily and more appropriate."

[brotimaeus]

He's starting to feel like he's actually having a completely different conversation to the one that Badri is having.

"Takin' kids ain't really a custom at all," he replies dryly, eyes faintly narrowed. "More appropriate for what?"

[oncedevil]

"Usually that kind of thing is frowned on, actually." Instead of being bothered by Badri's strange worldview, Tony's fascinated. It's like he genuinely doesn't understand what might be a bad or a good thing in human eyes. "We weren't really sure what was going on ourselves."

Almost like he's not from this world at all.

Idly he nudged Richard. "For the Santa and grinch theme is what he means, I think." Is it sad Tony's totally keeping up with this?
