It was a warm, sunny, beautiful day here in Fandom, and look at how much it wasn't raining anything weird. You're welcome, parents, friends, assorted guests and fair citizens of Fandom who didn't want to explain that sort of thing right off the bat

Slap on a nametag. They're very attractive, we swear.

A giant cat? Daemon himself actually paused in his tracks at that. It wasn't the scent he'd been thrown by, no, though it was definitely there as an undercurrent. One more step forward, and...

"No." He breathed it in one more time, and then turned sharp golden eyes on Surreal. "A female. Who is she?"

Re: Registration [PW1]

[harpy_daughter]

Fem-- Surreal's face immediately shuttered off from him. "None of your concern."

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

"I am making it my concern."

Daemon didn't like the way she closed herself off from him. Didn't like that he had no idea what was going on, except for that smell. Except for how Surreal had just put a wall between the two of them.

The Sadist didn't take well to walls.

"Who is that female, Surreal?"

Re: Registration [PW1]

[harpy_daughter]

"I made a friend," was her only answer. "You won't find her here, so stop being snarly."

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

"A friend." Daemon turned that word over a few times in his mind. A friend. Not that he'd expect her to me forthcoming with him if the answer was something otherwise.

A friend. And if she wasn't around here, shy of attempting to scent her out, there wasn't anything to be done about it.

He relaxed. But only slightly.

"Very well."

The coolness in the air lingered for a moment longer, and then faded away again.

"...you thought I was working." Daemon had gone cold, but normally stoic Surreal burned hotter when she was angry. "Fuck you, Sadi, and the high horse you rode in on. I have a bed I don't have to share and food I don't have to dig out of the trash. I don't need - or want - to be working."

"And if you so much as try to sniff out Cara, our deal is off and you won't find me again. My private life is mine, and private." And Surreal didn't want to share one of the few nice things she'd had in her short, violent life with an overbearing male.

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

"Yours and private," Daemon echoed, lifting his chin slightly, the look on his face not betraying that he was suddenly aware of his own habit of leaping to the worst possible conclusions upon scenting a strange female. A male's scent could and would bring out the Warlord Prince in him. A female, more often than not, cut straight to the Sadist. "Very well. I won't ask about her any further."

As much as he wanted to.

"Tell me about your classes."

The ones that he was certain she loathed him for, yes.

Tersa wandered over to them, eating a messy hot dog, several nametags attached to her flowing skirts, decorated with flowers and doodles and random markings.

"This is the best dog I have ever eaten," she announced.

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

Oh, Tersa. Daemon cared for you dearly, but there were very few people who could make him wear that look on his face as though he'd just eaten something highly unpleasant quite the way that you could.

"Dog?"

Surely they didn't actually eat dog here?

Re: Registration [PW1]

[twisted_weaver]

"It's quite delicious, with all of these things on them," Tersa said brightly. "Onions and cheese and little chopped up pickles and this red ooze and a mustard plaster. You can barely taste the meat!"

Which, when it came to eating dog, was generally a good thing.

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

Really, Daemon didn't doubt that.

"So you're enjoying it, then?"

Of course, when Tersa was involved, when she got so excited about things like this, it was almost an infectious sort of excitement. Even Daemon couldn't help but crack a smile.

"I can't imagine it begins to compare to your nutcakes, of course."

Re: Registration [PW1]

[twisted_weaver]

"Of course it compares," Tersa said, taking another bite. "Just poorly."

She shook out her skirts and produced a bottle made of some odd material she couldn't identify. It was not metal, nor paper, nor glass. The important thing was the picture on the front; a black and white spotted cow with a metal tag in it's ear under the word 'milk.'

She held it out to him. "This is for you to drink."

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

Of course it was. And Daemon even reached to accept the bottle, looking at it briefly before obediently screwing the top off.

There were some things that one could get out of, when speaking to Tersa. Drinking one's milk was not one of them, and he'd bear it with as much dignity as he could muster.

"Always looking out for me, aren't you, Tersa?"

He was already half wondering if it would be possible to just vanish the contents of the strange bottle and get away with that, yes.

Re: Registration [PW1]

[twisted_weaver]

"When I can," Tersa said, accepting her insanity with a serene grace. She knew she couldn't always look out for her boy and accepted it. There were many paths she was glad he could not follow as it was. "And no tricks now. Boys who play games with their milk don't get nutcakes. It's a rule."

Re: Registration [PW1]

[sadist_son]

And it was a rule that he'd been informed of time and time again. He couldn't help but smile a little, relenting and throwing back the milk like he was a man who had just stumbled out of a desert, and this was the first thing to drink that he'd had in days.

It was easier to play 'Tersa's little boy' when he just gave in and drank the damn milk.

"And it's gone," he announced, turning the emptied bottle upside-down to demonstrate. "I wouldn't dream of playing games with my milk, after all."

... Well.
