[There's a new addition to your lobby; it's a little cage with oodles of tubes winding in and out of it, with a little wheel and a little food dish and a little water dish …. and two little nameplates reading “Shortpack” and “7

[Yep, this guy is seriously trying. His little hamster-brain doesn't handle telepathy very well, so instead for a call for help, you're getting a call to give them food.

They need to build the food store, you know]

[Runs over him in her frantic Searching For A Way Out. Probably just stuck her foot in your ear.]

[pocketsizedpal]

[Ow, he's using those don't you know. He'll just sit back and wash in that obsessive way hamsters do when they're in a situation they don't understand]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Runs over him again going the other way.]

[York almost hadn't felt like coming out of his room today. Almost. But a horrible dream is no excuse not to update the floor map, so here he is. But--]

Peanuts? What the hell?

[Where did that come from? --Oh. That's new.

He walks over to the little habitat and kneels down.]

You, uh. Is that--really you two? Do you really want peanuts?

[brdskllwarrior]

[Oh! Oh! FRIEND! Somewhere in between thoughts about carrots and escape, 7 recognizes that armor. She'll scrabble up against the cage nearest him!]

[encryptedlock]

[Fffft, well, they certainly are cute. He'll try to jimmy open the cage and reach in to pick them up. (Just try to bite him, his black undersuit is tougher than it looks.)]

[7 immediately jumps into his hand ...]

[just_the_cat]

[Staaaaaaares.]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Stops suddenly, and staaaaaares back, frozen. Did it see her? Could it get her? Was it dangerous? The non-hamstery part of her tried to say something, but it came out as a squeak!]

[Catcatcatcatcatcatcat. Shortpack vaguely remembers without cat taming equipment, these can be bad. Best go hide in a corner, then. Yeah. It'll never see him in the corner]

[just_the_cat]

[The cat knows these aren't real hamsters, but they are still very entertaining to watch. He sits with tail twitching and eyes gleaming. Still pretty scary looking to a hamster, but don't worry--he only hunts real rodents, and wild ones at that. No sport in going after caged things.]

[inkyprophet]

[you know those nagging prophetic feelings you get that tell you it'd be a good idea to head to the lobby?

...oh, well. 6 gets those all the time. he makes his way over to the cage, but really... has no idea what to do. he doesn't even know what a peanut IS.]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Oh oh oh oh oh!!! Runs up to the cage nearest him, and starts doing crazy-circles]

[inkyprophet]

[what does that even mean, you crazy furry... thing...

he puts his hand on the glass. give him a minute...]

[brdskllwarrior]

[Runs over to pounce on Shortpack and then scurries back to 6 and continues her crazy circles]
