[He rubs his eyes. He'd been on his way downstairs, hungry but sleepy. Everyone knows you can't sleep on a complaining stomach. But there is no bottom of the steps. He stumbles, with a grunt, being unused to falling... ever.]
The fuck? This ain't...I gotta be dreamin'. But then, how come it's dark?
[Yes, he talks to himself. He breathes in deeply, scenting for anything familiar. Even in dreams things smell right. But nothing here does.]
[He stops moving, stops breathing for a moment. It can't be. His ears and nose never lie though. His tail lashes and he's less sure this is a dream.]
Thom?? Issat you?
[He rubs his eyes trying to adjust them to the dark but it's dark and that's all there is to it. If he were dreaming he could make it light. Also he wouldn't still be hungry. If he were dreaming.]
[He shakes his head and tries to get his bearings. Not on solid ground. Doesn't feel or smell like artificial gravi. Ship then? On water?]
Onna a boat I think. A big one. 's dark. How come I can smell you an' hear you but I can't SEE you? Besides the dark. This room ain't THAT big...but yer smell is here.
[He raises his ki to try and light things up but it makes his collar spark]
I'm too lazy to log into the Stewardess' account to actually play this out. XDfetchthestickSeptember 17 2009, 03:37:20 UTC
[Thom's ears droop.]
I haven' seen 'em. They're not here.
Umm - hold on.
[Thom races off to go find...
The Stewardess! A severe-looking woman in a stiff uniform opens the door for the puppy. She eyes Sage disdainfully, mutters something about not having time for this, and the second you blink - she's gone.
Thom accepts her sudden disappearance as normal and immediately pounces on Sage.]

[They're not...but...but...Thom isn't feral. He NEEDS his Misters!! But before he can say anything, he hears Thom racing off then back, then there's a click and light and THOM!!]
THOM!!
[He grabs his best friend around the middle as Thom pounces him and rolls over and over, burying his nose in Thom's ruff and making sure it's Thom and and...he makes the rolling lickies stop a second to ask.]
Thom? What's goin' on? How come you're here without yer Misters? Where IS this? Yer okay, right? You ain't hurt? You ain't skinny, so you been eatin. They're not here? Rilly not here? What about Zath?
[He smells okay...except for the sad when he says about his Misters. He doesn't dare ask about his own parent's owner, and if HIS owner is here, he'll find him.]
[Thom rolls tail-over-end, laughing and licking. He missed Sage SO much!]
Y'gonna get fur on y'tongue!
[The wagging of his tail slows at mention of his masters, and Zahath.]
No, they're really REALLY not here. I been here a couple months. I dunno, I jus' woke up here, there aren't NO Zenrenthi, Sage! No one like you or me, neither, and no one even knows what a pet really is - well, there's one guy, but he's feral or somethin', and Sarea but she's wild. Everyone's told me to take care of myself, and sometimes I get people to walk me and play with me but I miss my Misters real bad.
[fer makin' Thom sad. Thom is his best friend an' he always looks out for him. Thom looks out for Sage too. He chews his lip. He's not unhappy at the lack of Zen's wherever this is, but there ain't nothin' but Thom that smells remotely familiar either.]
I thought, since they're off planet lookin' fer you, they mighta found you so tha' was why you were here. But they didn't. But I did. But...I was dreamin, I thought. I woked up hungry so I went downstairs to find somethin' to eat an' I FELL. [he NEVER falls EVER] An' I hit the floor in here. 's a hard floor.
[He bangs on the floor with his fist to demonstrate and then leans down to lick Thom's nose and muzzle and rub his ears the way he likes it best. His overlong, prehensile tail thuds thoughtfully on the floor and he shakes his hair out of his eyes.]
I dun think I got here th' same way you did. But let's get out of this place anyhow. Go somewhere else. 's too much like bein' punished for me.
[But he's always easily distracted, even from something like this. His ears cant to the side and his tail picks up wagging again.]
Oh, okay. Um. There's lots of places we could go! There's lots of food and you can take whatever you want, and a pool, and a forest, and there's a fire, and snow, and one deck has caves and fish and another has rats and --
[Food? He's always interested in food. The greater the quantity the better. 'jiisan aways said they lived for three things: Food, fighting and fucking. But not always in that order. An' Thom said there were no Zen 'round...no one else like...them. Thom would know. He hops to his feet and swishes his tail back and forth.]
I'm STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARVING!! I haven't eaten since at LEAST dinner. My belly is never full, issit Thom.
[He grins at Thom. Pound for pound they weighed in about the same due to his muscle density, but Thom always LOOKED a little bigger then him, specially when he stands on his back legs. An' he remembers something Thom said.]
Hey, you wanna pretend I'm walkin' you? I can put my tail, round your neck, 'r even under yer collar if you wanted. An' if there were enough room between yer collar an' yer skin. But my tail's got lotsa room to loop'round yer neck...
The fuck? This ain't...I gotta be dreamin'. But then, how come it's dark?
[Yes, he talks to himself. He breathes in deeply, scenting for anything familiar. Even in dreams things smell right. But nothing here does.]

Are y'in my room??
[Thom gallops down the hallway to his room, stands on his hind legs, swipes the keycard in the door and looks around eagerly.]
Reply
[His voice is grumbly and grouchy in the way it gets when he can't find the answer to something he wants To Know Right Now.]
There's boxes...where's th' motherfuckin' door?
[He curses colorfully in about seven languages.]
Yer scent ain't too fresh in here...I don' think this is your room Thom.
[He finds a wall and bangs on it experimentally]
Ken you hear that? My bangin'?

[Thom plants his nose to the ground and perks his ears and searches. Very hard.
HELLO, supply closet! Thom scratches at the base of the door.]
You in there??

Yeh!! Can you get me out? Or get Mister Talsin or Xana to get me out?
[If Thom's here...at least ONE of his Misters have to be...right?]
