The Scent is Caught
Who: Nanaki
Status: Closed
When: 9:00 AM
Where: WRO headquarters, ground floor.
What: Nanaki's hunt for information continues.
The sight of what appeared to be a fully grown lion walking right into main foyer of the WRO building was something most people were not used seeing. Many of the casually visiting civilians scattered from the sight of the red beast. The WRO staff manning the ground floor mostly stopped their work. They knew who he was, Reeve having briefed them on the possible appearance of such a creature upon their initiation. Most thought he was joking at the time, some recalled seeing the beast during Crisis, all remained stunned that it had actually walked into the ground floor, calm as anything, and padded up to the main reception desk.
Nanaki was more than aware of the effect he had on the common person. Most thought him a monster, or some pet or another. The ignorance of most humans astounded him, and appearing like this would hinder his attempts to communicate with the humans, but he had grown tired of wearing the disguise. He reared up on his hind leg and stabilised himself on the desk of reception.
Nanaki stared calmly at the human that sat in front of him. The human stared back. A bubble rose from the bottom of the cup of soup the human had been drinking. Both of them looked at the cup for a few seconds, then their eyes rose again to meet one another. The silence continued again until the human broke it.
"Err....can I help you, ummm...sir?" Agonising pause...
"You know who I am." A small growl from Nanaki followed his statement. I should have been a question, but there was too much force behind it to call it a true question.
"Err...yes...I uh....Mr. Red? Red thirteen?" The sharp growl the followed on the heels of the humans guess had him typing in a flurry to try and recover the name of his guest.
"NANAKI! Mr. Nanaki, am I correct?" Nanaki calmed, resuming his former stance of scrutinise the human.
"I wish to have access to the WRO archives." Nanaki's eye pierced through the human as he spoke.
The human glanced down at the display of Nanaki's profile. The terminal showed him as having full access to WRO facilities bar the most top secret reserved for the highest ranking of the espionage division and the Commissioner himself.
"Very well...umm...Mr. Nanaki. I shall have someone down to escort you there shortly. You are granted access to all records. If you could...please...umm....just wait....possible at the back of the lobby?" The human cringed when he made the request. Nothing happened. when he opened his eyes again, the firecat had left and padded away to the far end of the lobby, away from the main entrance and most of the staff.
While walking away, the firecat turned his head back to the human at the desk.
"Also, could you please ask Reeve that I wish to see him at some stage today?" The firecat began walking back to the rear of the room, smiling in his own way.
He had forgotten how much fun it was messing with humans sometimes.
