There's an informal race of sorts going on not far from the sign. A furry yellow streak that might be a cat, followed closely by a German Shepherd with something in its mouth. Chasing those two is a Reploid girl with long dark hair. And right behind her is a scolding green fire lizard

Comments

Aya giggles behind her hand.

"Usually they seem to last about a week. Sometimes they are shorter. Sometimes they last much longer.

"Does the landlord in question own property in the Nexus?"

[angelinbloom]

"Yes, we've been staying in the Nexus. My name is Iris, and this is my brother Colonel."

"Pleased to meet you, ma'am," says the dog.

"And I'm Zero," says a voice up in the tree that could only have come from the yellow cat.

[dream_departed]

"It's a pleasure to meet you." She pitches her voice so that it could even be heard up the tree. "All of you."

She bowed to the assemble party. "I think that Nexus landlords would have to learn to be accepting of LOLs."

[angelinbloom]

"Likewise," Iris says with a smile. "I suppose they would. I'm glad for that. It would be very inconvenient to have to find another place until brother is back to normal."

Colonel, meanwhile, glances up in the tree with a slight growl. He's not at all surprised at the identity of the blonde cat.

Air snickers. He's amused at his guess on what kind of LOL it may be, even if he doesn't know the people involved. Hey, if others can laugh at him being a blue prairie dog, he can laugh at this. "Can vary a lot. I had a LOL last weeks before. And I've seen some last a day or less. And if you're lucky, you can convince them it's a temporary condition. Otherwise, you may have to find alternate living arrangements for the LOLed. Not that my family ever had to worry about that."

He knows one of them! "Hey, Air," says the cat in the tree in a voice a bit too much like Zero's for him to be anyone else.

"Oh dear. I suppose I'll just have to ask, though I can hope that a landlord in the Nexus would be more understanding of such things. But then, I've often seen that just because someone could be understanding of a situation does not mean that they will." A slight blush and she adds, "Where are my manners. I neglected to introduce myself. I'm sorry. My name is Iris, and this is my brother Colonel."

There's only a nod from the German Shepherd, who is now dividing his attentions between watching Air and giving the occasional glare to the cat in the tree.

"And Zero is in the tree, although he isn't usually a cat any more than my brother is normally in his current form."

[morethanafan]

Air sighs as he hears the voice. "Not again. You should have learned to avoid LOL a long time ago, kid."

He watches the other two with a small amount of suspicion. "Hello. Pleased to meet you. I'm Air, as the ca saidt and some of the history books would probably tell you." He chuckles. "If your landlord doesn't understand, I'm sure I could think of a few places for the LOLed to stay."

Air pauses, body language and tone of voice changing to something not so friendly as he approaches the tree. "And if your brother doesn't stop watching me like that, I'll give him a reason to be worried. And come here, Zero. The last thing we need is you getting stuck up there."

He flinches, head hurting as he tries to nudge the other personality back. He's actually more than a little embarrassed and uneasy about it. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I..." He cuts himself off. The other personality isn't making things easy.

"Hey, I wasn't expecting to catch it from a random couch," Zero says, padding across a tree branch until he's right above Air. "And I won't get stuck." Though, if Air wants him down, fine. Zero drops from the tree to land on the blue and yellow Wilybot.

"Is that your usual method for leaving trees," Colonel comments, giving Zero a glare.

"No, I only pounce people I like," Zero jokes. And then realizes a half-second later just how that sounds. If he weren't a cat, he'd probably be blushing.

Iris isn't a cat, and she is turning pink at that. The veiled threat hadn't made her very comfortable either, and she's not sure what to think of this one.
