Many men die at 25 and aren't buried until they're seventy-five.

[curled up on a lobby couch and only half awake, Jilly shifted the paw that was curled over her nose... only to blink fully into awareness at the feel of smooth skin.

Pushing herself upright, she flexes her fingers and then reaches up to run a hand through her hair, just getting reacquainted with being in a human body]

...That was strange. [thinking

Jilly

[bro_codebreaker]

A new head would be nice. [this one's pouuuunnnding.] Or you could just ... I don't know, kill me.

Barney

[tehoniongirl]

Let's try the new head, first. I don't want to lose the boss who won't fire me for being a dog.

...what happened?

Jilly

[bro_codebreaker]

Faye isn't talking to Crowley, and I tried to talk to her about it, and now she's not talking to ME, and Del's gone, and there's practically no one working at the 'Kat anymore and ... yeah.

... Wait. Were you the puppy?

Barney

[tehoniongirl]

[a small smile] Yeah, that was me.

I'm sorry, Barney. I really am.

Jilly;

[payback]

...Mm?

Rin

[tehoniongirl]

[a laugh] It's been an interesting week.

Or... I guess a bit longer.

...Sorry I haven't been around to help with the charity.

Jilly;

[payback]

It's nothing to be concerned about. I know how things can get unexpectedly irregular here.

What's been going on?

Rin

[tehoniongirl]

Just got a new perspective on things. A canine perspective, specifically.

So... thanks. [light tone. Don't be embarrassed, Rin. She knew you seemed uncertain when you figured out the resident part]

[so_catless]

[sleepy sounding] Mm...

...

[wait, that wasn't a mew like it should have been]

Oh.

[tehoniongirl]

[a laugh] Guess that's two of us back to normal, then.

[so_catless]

[a little sigh]

...over already.

[tehoniongirl]

[awww] Did you have fun?

[evilhandissue]

And I was just getting used to you like that.

[tehoniongirl]

[a laugh] Disappointed?

[evilhandissue]

No. But every boy always wants his own puppy. [smirks]

[tehoniongirl]

Residents probably don't make the best pets.

It was fun, though.

[colorlesschild]

Jilly?

[Head tilts, peering.]

What are you doing down here?

[tehoniongirl]

[she's in the middle of trying to stretch stiff limbs when his voice catches her attention. He immediately gets a bright smile] I fell asleep on the couches. I wasn't really expecting to wake up down here.

[at least, not as a human]

It's good to see you.

[colorlesschild]

Did you get lost, too?

[He imitates her, stretching.]
It's good to see you too.

[tehoniongirl]

Something like that.

[She'll pat the couch next to her] Want to take a seat? I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in awhile. I... haven't been myself for the past week or so.
