[Not terribly far from the library, there is a tiger. It is a tiger that, in fact, probably looks a little like a certain Methuselah's pet tiger. But isn't.  This tiger is currently sprawled out under a banner that reads:

♥ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ASTHEROSHE ♥
...The banner looks slightly shredded. As if something with very large paws and claws had a go

Um... Venus? pleasedon'teatme. Where's Asta? pleasedon'teatme.

[astalavampire]

I'm right here, Jonathan.

[2nd_slinger]

... oh my god she ATE YOU.

[astalavampire]

Jonathan.

[watchesovoreyou]

...an anniversary of what, exactly?

[astalavampire]

My arrival. This place sometimes "celebrates" such events in this way.

[watchesovoreyou]

By transformation.

[astalavampire]

Sometimes, yes. Have you not been here long enough to witness such events?

[oneknightstands]

[o hay, approaching cautiously]

Venus?

[astalavampire]

...Not exactly.

[oneknightstands]

. . . ah!

[Walking over more quickly now]

How did that happen?

[astalavampire]

[nods at the banner]

Camp's unique method of celebration, I suppose.

[labellesansbra]

You aren't scared, are you?

[ctrlaltdelita]

Merely on guard.

[labellesansbra]

It's just Asta. You should see her real cat.

[OH WOW OH WOW A TIGER]

[astalavampire]

[Tailswish. You are small, and I do not know you.]

[adawningoath]

[I am undeterred by this. GETTING CLOSER I may possibly have a stunted sense of danger]

[astalavampire]

[You are so lucky I am not an ACTUAL tiger.]

Do not tell me you were going to attempt to pet a strange, potentially dangerous animal, little boy.
