♐ fifty-sixth shot

[yeahihidmypants]

[Oliver is scratching his head. You can't tell that over the journal, but he's been doing it for a while. No, he doesn't have lice... just a puzzlement.]

Has anyone seen a dinosaur around? [Because, now that he thinks about it... Sansa didn't show up after the pirates thing.]

She's small-ish, likes plants... actually knows her name is Sansa. [

You have a dinosaur?

[yeahihidmypants]

[Did he forget to mention that when they were engaged???? Fail Fiancé.]

Well, I did. [Man, Kara is would kill him if she knew. Then again, there was the threat of her getting shot by Tess and Tess did stay over... after the pirates...

NO. Don't think that Ollie.]

She's probably around here somewhere. I think the break-ins spooked her... and then I thought I'd see her by now. Just.... she's not anywhere I can usually find her.

[autophoenix]

How big of a dinosaur are we talking? I mean, those sound like they'd be kind of hard to lose track of. Even in a castle this big.

Which is my way of saying I'll help you look if you need the extra eyeballs.

[yeahihidmypants]

I appreciate the extra eyeballs, because she's sort of dog-sized. Like, Labrador sized.

[autophoenix]

When we find her, you're gonna have to tell me how exactly you managed to find a dog-sized dinosaur to adopt. [ Not that she wants one -- she's definitely at her maximum pet quota. But ... still. ]

[He chuckles]

Would you believe that I'm pretty sure there are a few of them loose in the woods?

[autophoenix]

My best friend spent January possessed by a god, Oliver. My belief scale is, like, cosmically skewed. [ Which is to say -- yes, she believes it. ]

[yeahihidmypants]

[Frown.]

I remember that. [She's Oliver's best friend too] I'm just saying, this place has a lot of interesting quirks.

[autophoenix]

Nine months in this place and I think I'm used to quirks. But, dinosaurs in the woods, that's ... not one that I'd heard.

[yeahihidmypants]

It's a rumor. Mostly, I think it's just that no one actually keeps track of the pets when residents go home.

[He shrugs] Anyway, I am trying to keep track of my pet, but she is a runner.

[autophoenix]

[ She frowns thoughtfully at that -- would that have been what happened to Koromaru if she and Minato hadn't looked after him? But she moves on with only the slightest pause. ] What's her name?

[yeahihidmypants]

Sansa. Kara and Lana helped me name her... or at least the lack of a name ... named her. [It's a Latin thing.]

[autophoenix]

I'll hunt around and let you know if Sansa turns up.

[yeahihidmypants]

Thanks, Claire, I appreciate it.

[ooc: for the record, Caroline helped him find her.]
