The Outside

[party_sphinx]

Outside the nightclub is a huge statute of the Party Sphinx. The three pyramids are lavishly decorated with gold, especially the capstones at the very top of each pyramid. They are well-lit at night and are beautiful. Out back is the various things needed to run the club, pottery and utensil materials and makers, papyrus, wheat, and other grown food fields, grazing pastures for the meat animals, and Ammut's pen. The cheetah humanoids guard the area well, nothing escapes their sight.

Ammut's Pen

[party_sphinx]

[In this pen that's separated from the nightclub and has warning signs around is the beast Ammut. Ammut has the head of a crocodile and the body of a lion and a hippo. His job is to eat the troublemakers that there's no helping act right that the bouncers bring to him.

Ammut's awake and eagerly looking forward to munching on anybody that misbehaves.

For now, he's content with chewing on the rather large bone he was given.]

[Warning signs? What are warning signs? Araragi is outside of the pen, taking notes and sketches, trying to learn about this strange creature.]

Hey there sweetheart. Just what kind of pokemon are you? I wonder if you're from a different region...

[She clicks her tongue at him, trying to get his attention.]

[party_sphinx]

[Hmm, a vistor? How unusual. But, if they come in the pen, they're free game. He'll play along for now, since he doesn't have anything better to do.

Amuut picks up the bone in his mouth and trots over closer to her, then plops down and starts chewing on it again. He hasn't decided what to think of her, and if he should talk to her. Though, it'd probably be fun to see her reaction.]

[forpokescience]

[She lets out a delighted sound as Amuut comes over.]

Well hey there sweetheart. Ain't you the cutest thing...

[party_sphinx]

[Oooh, hey, praise! Praise is good! Most people think he's ugly, but they don't have much of a chance to look before down to his stomach they go.

He stops chewing on the bone and purrs. However, it's a bizarre mix of a growl, bellow, and a purr, because crocodiles aren't really good at that sort of thing, even if lions are. And hippos purring is right out of the question.]

[forpokescience]

[Pshhhh. Honey, she has seen things way weirder than you. She laughs a little.]

I've never seen anything quite like you before... I bet you can do some real interesting things can't you, sweetheart?

[party_sphinx]

[Oh, probably, he hasn't tried. Mostly he just eats people. That's about it, really. He's happy with that, it's a good and easy life.]

[forpokescience]

It must be boring sitting in this pen all day...

[party_sphinx]

[He agrees sometimes, giving her a big ol' crocodile mouth yawn. It's more fun when he's chasing something down to eat it.]

[forpokescience]

Poor thing. If ya lived with me I'd let ya run around in the big ol' yard I've got out back for the pokemon ta run around in.

[party_sphinx]

[What's a Pokemon? Do they taste good?]

[forpokescience]

[She still thinks you ARE some kind of pokemon.]

I bet you'd have a lot of fun. Maybe we could even find a trainer for you. Maybe not one of the kids just starting out, but I get some experienced visitors now and then.

[party_sphinx]

[Ammut lets a snort out at that. Nobody trains him. He does what he wants. He's only doing this job because it's easy and there's a better chance to have some people to munch on.]

[forpokescience]

Aww... C'mon, sweetie. You'd get much stronger with a trainer than just going around on your own. It's proven research!

[party_sphinx]

[He yawns again, showing off all his lovely, sharp teeth. He's strong enough already, he doesn't need or want any help.]
