Zoey giggled and patted Glenn's head. "That's ok, you sleep and I'll explore!" She smiled cutely before turning and bouncing out of the room, deciding which room to explore first.

Li was started by the Husky and looked at her, confused. "Uuuuuhm Hi there...? D-did we scare you?" Li asked with the same puzzled look on his face as before.

Sasha bowed apologetically, "I am sorry. I never seen a cat as big as myself, you suprise me." She laughed self conciously. She motioned at the husky with her arm, "You, on different hand, I almost mistake as my little brother, Boris. If you were little taller, that is. Ah, but Добра, where are my manners. I am Sasha Dostia. Is pleasure to meet you." She said as she offered her hand.

Li shook her hand and smiled. "I'm Li! And these are uh... Nat and Tom!" He said, gesturing towards the figures in the elevator.

"Uh... Not to be rude or anything... But what language was that?" Li asked, with a puzzled look on his face once again.

Sasha laughed Funny, I would not have assumed that would be the first question I would be asked. She thought, "Is pleasure to meet you, Li, Nat, and Tom. Questions are not rude to me, I am used to them. My language is that of Russia, where I was born. Funny thing about questions; Here, you ask questions about your country. Where I am from, your country ask questions about you." She said with a serious look on her face, all the while, wondering how long she could keep it up without bursting into fits of laughter.

Nat blanched at the husky as they exited the elevator. He was a bit taken by surprise himself at her reaction, but he shook it off. "Er...Hi!" He gave a sheepish smile. "Nice to meet you." He tilted his head slightly at hearing Sasha's foreign accent, and he had to stifle a laugh at her little joke.

"Hi Mom." Frankenstein's voice said, echoing through the apartment as Frankenstein entered the room. "You here Mom?" Frankenstein shouted, walking into the kitchen. Looking around several times, Frankenstein blinked. The walls where still a seasick green, but he could has sworn they weren't peeling. "Mom?" Frankenstein shouted again, walking around the apartment, his ears flattening against his head. "Are you still here?"

"Of course I am. Don't yell so much." Frankenstein's Mom said, walking into the room. "By the way, have you seen the wallpaper? I just had it set up for Halloween. We're going to have a party! I already posted fliers in the lobby. Don't worry, I already asked." Mrs. Shelley blabbed, barely giving Frankenstein time to object.
"Oh, and you can invite as many friends as you want."

Li chuckled abit at the joke and smiled. "Well... You don't hear that very often. He giggled. Li looked at Nat and then back to Sasha. "Uh... We were just heading to the garden... Want to come?"

Sasha giggled at their reactions and her tail wagged wildly at Li's invitation, "What a coincidence! I just on my way there, and now I have three cute boys as escort." She said as she stepped between Nat and Li and wrapped her arms around theirs. I hope I don't scare Li too much. She thought as she suddenly realized that he might be a bit freaked out by the arm without a hand wrapped around his. "Lucky me." She said with a broad smile.

Nat gave Sasha a strange look as she moved between them. "Er... right. Well I don't really know where the garden is... I was following Li." He looked to the tiger expectantly.

Li giggled. "You sure do! Hehe". He rubbed the back of his neck as Sasha wrapped her arm around his. Li looked down and noticed the hand was missing and instantly looked back up. "L-lets go, s-shall we?" He said with an awkward smile, and started leading them three to the indoor garden the tower had.

Walking to the vending machine, Andy noticed a flier next to the vending machine.
Picking it up Andy readied: " Hm... Halloween party...all invited... I'll go up for this
Going up to his room, (complete forgetting the snack) He put the flier on the table.
After playing a bit of halo 3, Andy went to bed.

Sasha felt that Li had tensed up a bit. He hadn't completely freaked out, but he had definately been suprised. She decided to try to put him at ease. "So, Li, do you like music?" she asked as she pulled a small MP3 player out of he collar and pushed some buttons. "This is probably my favorite song ever" then she pressed play and smiled warmly at him as the song began.

Nat used the time Sasha took to pull out the Mp3 player as a chance to slip out of her grip. He gave her an amused look when the song started playing.

Li smiled. "Heh, I like it!" They arrived at the door to the indoor garden. Opening the door and stepping inside, Li took a deep breath. "Uh and well yeah, I love music!"

Sasha laughed as the song played, seeing that they appreciated the irony."I love all kind of music; Classical, Big Band, Tecno, if you dance to it, I love it." she chuckled. As the song ended and Projection's latest mix began. She turned the player off and smiled as she remembered hearing the song live a few months ago.

When they entered the garden, the familiar smells flooded her with memories. "Ahh, this place make me remember old farm I grow up on. I keep away from any big pough machines, though. I want to keep my hand to myself." She laughed at her own dark joke. She glanced around and found a small herb garden near the entrance with a sign hanging over it.

Enjoy some clippings, Courtesy of Oasis Towers.

"Ooh! These go great with Nana's Shashlyk." She giggled as she clipped a few and placed them in her collar.

Nat looked around the garden, gaping at the bright, flourishing foliage. He stood in the middle of the grass, eyes sparkling. "Wow! This is amazing! We're still in the tower's right?"

Li looked at Sasha, puzzled. "O....kay..." He awkwardly said and turned to Nat. "Yeah, we are. Or I think we should be, at least." He wasn't exactly sure if it actually was IN the towers, only that it was a nice place to be.

"So uhm... Any suggestion of what we should do?"

As Sasha finished gathering herbs she chuckled at Li. "Since you have no idea what I talking about, I obviously need teach you to cook sometime later." She said as she stuck her tounge out at him playfully, "But for now, I try to see if we are inside or not." she glanced around for a moment before making a beeline for the tallest tree she could find and started climbing, easily hoisting herself up on only one arm. She hung upside-down from a branch for a moment, "Catch me if you can." She said to Nat and Li with a wink before resuming her climb.

Nat laughed at Sasha's comment, glancing at Li. "I bet you'd love cooking." He teased, nudging the tiger lightly. He watched as Sasha scampered up a nearby tree, walking over to look up at her. He shook his head slowly, chuckling. "No thanks. I think I'll stay down here if you don't mind."

Li giggled and nudged back. "Whats THAT supposed to mean?!" He chuckled and followed to the tree. He looked up and scratched the back of his head. "Uh... yah... I think I will pass too actually... I'm quite clumsy when it comes to trees.."

Sasha wrapped her arm around the trunk of the tree and stuck her tounge out, "Aww, poor kitties not want to get stuck up a tree? Is such a shame, is a nice view from up here." She said with a smile. She continued climbing until she reached the top, where she stood on the highest brach she could and reached up with her arm while she held on with her hand. "Is no glass here, and is too bright to see the sky, if it really is the sky." She shouted to the others. She made her way towards the ground. "I suppose we have to ask gardener or something sometime."

"Are you ready deary?" Mrs. Shelley's voice shouted, echoing through the apartment.
"Yeah. I hear you Mom!" Frankenstein said, looking down at himself. He was wearing a costume, which involved a tight fitting suit and a small toga. At first glance, Frankenstein would look like a hyena, mainly a hyena from the Laughing Face clan, the infamous villains of the series "Prideland."
"Oh honey, you look outstanding. I bet your girlfriend will love it." Mrs. Shelley said, walking into the room. She was wearing a lab coat, which she had purchased at the labcoat emporium across the street from Oasis Towers.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Frankenstein mumbled. "I never should have told you about Precious."
"I would have figured it out eventually." Mrs. Shelley said, laughing a little. "Now. We've got the punch, the brownies, and all the fliers where picked up. We should be expecting our first guest soon."

Nat grinned at that, putting on a mock offended face. "Oi! I'm not afraid of some old tree!" He laughed, shaking his head. "I suppose we could ask the gardener. If you're really that interested."

Li tilted his head and smiled slightly. "Uh, well no not really get STUCK, more like, hit my head on the way up... or down!"

Li looked around. "well..." He jumped to see over a few bushes. "I don't see any gardener around... maybe he's outside the garden or something..?"

(Characters kidnapped with permission)

Sasha giggled as she hopped down the tree, but she paused before she reached the ground "What is this?" she said as she hopped towards another tree that had an orange piece of paper taped to it. Ooh! Halloween costume party! Is in a few days, we must go shopping!" She grabbed Nat, Li, and Tom by the arms and pulled them out of the garden towards the shopping center before anyone had a chance to protest.

An hour later, the four of them were standing in the elevator on their way home. "I just realize that I just kidnap you all and take you shopping against your will. I very sorry to all of you. I hope to see you again sometime." She said with a bow. As they each came to their floor, they parted ways and exchanged their goodbyes. Sasha walked into her appartment and dropped her bags at the door ."Nana! Where you pack the meat hooks?"

Nat waved goodbye to Sasha as he stepped out of the elevator with Li. He hoisted a better grip on the large bags in his hands, smiling down at the tiger. "Well, I had a good time today. Glad we got to hang out so much." His eyes glinted at that, and he blinked. "I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"

Li waved off Sasha aswell and looked down his bags. He looked back up at Nat and smiled. "Yush, I'll see you tomorrow!" He winked and opened the door to his apparment. "Bye Nat!" He waved and got in, stepping in to the living room to put the bags down.

From the kitchen came Beth and looked at the tiger who was smiling widely. "Had a good time today?" She asked, leaning against a nearby wall. "Yeah I did! We went to get a new uh.. sister to Glenn at the shelter! Her name is Zoey and she's really cute!" He giggled as he gave his mother a hug. "Oh, how nice of you!" She replied.

"Oh and uh.. there's this Halloween party tomorrow... can I go?" He asked ecstatic. Beth looked at him curiously and smiled back. "Sure, I don't see why not! Do you know what you're going as?" She asked, looking curiously at the bags next to Li. Li showed Beth the contents and smiled widely. "It's not too much... is it?"

"Of course not, honey! But we'll get this up tomorrow okay? You need to go to bed!" She asked with a more stern look on her face, pointing towards his bedroom door.

Li giggled and ran off to his door. "Sure mom!" He said, stepping inside his room and hopping on to his bed, quickly getting under the covers and closing his eyes.

Nat smiled, and waved as Li went inside. He opened the door to his own apartment and stepped inside.

"Oh, you're back?" His father's voice came from the kitchen. Nat sat the bag on the coffee table in the living room. "Yeah. I have some stuff for a costume here. There's a Halloween party tomorrow, can I go?" Nat was already making his way to bed when his father responded. "Of course, just don't get in too much trouble."

Nat grinned, closing his door and crawling into bed. When he finally fell asleep, the leopard's lips were still curled up in a smile.

((im guessing the tour's over....))

"I'm really not tired though. I promise." Stephi whined, as Simon placed her in bed. "Okay, if you're still awake in 10 minutes, we'll watch a movie. Deal?"

"Deal!"
Simon kissed her forehead and walked out of her room. He came back in 10 minutes later, and Stephi was fast asleep. He smiled at her angelic face. "Good night Stephi." then he closed the door and left her in peace.

(( I'm tired of waiting, so I kidnapped both caelei's and Kalvin's characters. ))

Grace decided to walk Cap back to the tower to make sure he got back alright. She contemplated going back outside to talk to somebody, but she didn't know any of the pets around. She made her way back to her apartment and snuck into her room before her owner could see her. She sat down at her desk and began to write in her journal again. After writing for about an hour, she threw herself onto her bed and went to sleep.

-

Tobias spent the rest of the day with Jayda, and they went back into the tower. As they walked into the tower, Jayda's overprotective owner rushed to them and carried Jayda away, muttering something along the lines of, "Don't spend time with strays like him." Tobias scoffed at her and took the stairs up 9 stories to his room. His owner was already fast asleep on his bed, while reading a book with the TV on. Tobias took the book and placed a bookmark in it and set it on the desk. He turned the TV off, took off his owner's glasses and put the blanket on over him, "Sometimes I feel like I'm your owner, Old Man." He joked as he turned off the light and went into his room. He looked at his surveillance tapes for a while, and didn't find anything useful. He went to sleep.

At home, Jayda was getting the berating of her life. Her mother was in hysterics. She had only been alarmed when Jayda had snuck out the first time... but two times? In a row? And this time Jayda had actually left the tower. Went outside, where she could've gotten hurt. Something had to be done to correct her behavior, and fast. And there was only one thing her mother could think to do...

After a long pause, in which Jayda's glare intensified (along with Lilian's sniffles), her mother spoke. Her voice quavered with tears, but the tone was absolute, strong. "Jayda... honey, it's time I've sent you away from this tower." Seeing Jayda's mouth drop open from shock, she hurriedly pressed on. "Living here isn't good for you. You've been mixing with... all the wrong types of people. People who would have you take risks and maybe hurt yourself. And I couldn't live with that, Jay-bear, you know I couldn't. I'm going to send you to James' and Robert's house. While you were away today I called them and they agreed." As the shock wore off, Jayda's blue eyes sparked with anger, and her expression turned mutinous. However, before she could interject her opinion about the whole thing, Lilian cut her off. "Don't start with me, Jay-bean. I've made up my mind. Your father doesn't agree, but... he'll come to see that I'm right. It's for your safety and happiness, Jay. Now, please. Pack your things, you're leaving tonight."

Jayda opened her mouth to argue back, but stopped. What could she say to change Lilian's mind? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Her argument deflated, and she turned, dejected, to walk to her room. She was thinking of Tobias. What would he say, when he figured out that she was gone? Would he hate her? Her ears folded down, and she dragged her feet on the way to her room.

...
((Obviously, I can't come on here near often enough. That's my resignation post. Sorry about making you wait so long, ctcmjh))

After exploring the apartment(and making a mess in the bathroom with the toilet paper), Zoey returned to the living room where Glenn was still sleeping. She climbed up to the other side of the couch and curled up, quickly going to sleep.

As the light of the new day spills forth into her room from the unshaded windows,
Precious gets up an did her stretching exercises.. Yawn... creek... pop...

Ready to go honey. her father calls.
Right on your tail, dad.
but i don't have a tail..
You know what i mean, silly..
The two jog down to the towers work out room, an starts in the treadmill machines..
(pant pant) how far are we running today, Mexico?
(chuckle) not quite that far, honey..

Dimitri looked over his work one final time and smiled. "Щенок! I am finished. Come take a look." He said with a laugh. before he had even finished calling out, Sasha was almost on top of him, looking over his massive shoulders.

Is done? Is done? Let me see Nana! Let me see!" Sasha squealed, bouncing like a caffeinated rubber ball.

Dimitri laughed loudly, "Patience, Щенок, patience. What do you think?" He said as he revealed her newly modified prosthetic. the older model was a simple one that was held to her arm with a pair of plastic pieces that latched together, and the hard plastic hand that had previously been attached was replaced with a steel hook with a rubber sleeve covering the tip.

Sasha hugged Dimitri around the neck and squealed "Ah! is perfect Nana! I love it!" She picked it up and quickly secured it to her arm. "Old hand still fits, ironically, like a glove" She laughed.

"Now you be careful with that. I don't want to make you a pirate for the rest of your life by giving you an eyepatch to go with that. You get me?

"Da, Nana, I be careful. She said as she gave the hook a swing. "Ah! look at the time! I will be late!"

"Then you had better get your costume on and get going. I did not work on that so you could miss the party."

"Da, I will be ready in a few minutes." She said as she cheerfully skipped to her room, swinging her new toy happily.

Stephi bolted up right. "Daddy, I didn't fall asleep so we get to watch a movie!!" she said groggily, before realizing the sun was bright in her face. She yawned and covered her eyes, then scooted out of bed and strolled to the kitchen.

"Stephi-kins! Goood morning!" Casey said, copping Stephi into a hug. Stephi lazily hugged her mom back, yawning again. "Morning Mom. Is breakfast ready?"

"It's right here, silly!" Casey said, motioning towards the table that had a purple bowl neatly placed. "I made your favorite: pancakes!"

Stephi ate her pancakes quietly, too tired to say much of anything.

Tobias woke up in a groggy stupor. He was still very dissapointed at how his seemingly perfect day with Jayda was interrupted. That, and he had a bit of orange soda late at night. He made his way to the bathroom and freshened up, washing his fur and brushing his teeth. He went back to his room and put his collar on, and slipped his hat on. He decided to leave his bag at home.

He went into the kitchen to get a bite to eat. He grabbed some toast and sat down at the table. His owner was there, eating a bowl of cereal, "Good morning, Tobias. How was your day yesterday?" He asked him. Tobias took a bite of his toast, "It started out pretty fun, and then it got more fun. And then it was almost perfect, and then it sucked." He answered with emphasis on the word, 'sucked.' Tobias's owner shook his head, "I'm sorry to hear that, Toby. I'm sure today will be better." Tobias smiled and sighed, "I hope so. Well, I'm off." He said as he stood up and headed out the door. His owner left a few minutes after him, locking the door after him.

'A typical morning.' He thought as he walked down the stairs.

He walked up to the main desk in the lobby, "Excuse me, could you tell me which room that Jayda Grey is in?" He asked. The bellhop looked at a note that was tacked to the wall, "I'm sorry, but her owner told us not to give that information to any cat fitting your description. She also told us that Jayda would be moving away from the tower." The bellhop replied reluctantly. Tobias was shot. He sighed sadly and reached into his hat, pulling out a nice looking letter, "Then could you please mail that to wherever Jayda lives now?" Tobias asked. The bellhop nodded, "I'll see what I can do, sir." "Thank you." "You're welcome."

Tobias left the main desk and went to go sit in a chair in the hallway.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace woke up early in the morning so she could do her fur, head-fur and make-up. When she was finished with that, she quickly dashed back into her room. She picked up her things and placed them into her bag. She grabbed her collar and a black bow and put them on. She grabbed everything and walked out of her door.

As she opened her door, she was immediately picked up by her hyperactive owner, "Good morning Princess! How did you sleep?" Her owner asked as she twirled around the room, Grace in her arms. Grace struggled vainly, "Let go of me!" She demanded as she tried to pry herself loose, "But Princess Cuddles! You're so soft and cute that I can't help it! And why do you have to dress so depressing? I like the bow, but you should have worn a pink bow! And I told you that I don't like your piercings! They're not cute!" Her owner scolded. Grace rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever." She said. Her owner put Grace down, "Fine then! You go ahead and wear your piercings and your black bow, and your heavy makeup! Don't come whining to me when you're all depressed!" "I will! And I won't be depressed!" Grace yelled back as she stormed out of the apartment and down the hall.

'A typical morning.' She thought.

She went to the stairwell and sat on a step about half-way down on the fourth floor.

Li yawned and sat up in his bed, having a ray of sunshine blind him for a second. A wide smile spread across his face when he thought of what was going to happen today. Giggling, he hopped off his bed and ran out of his room to the kitchen where his mother, Beth was already having breakfast. "Morning, hun!"

"Oh, hi mom! I'm just going to uh, have a quick breakfast, get in my costume and go over and see if Nat is up, hehe!" Li giggled, grabbing an already pre-made sandwich his mother had prepared. "Haha, okay! Just don't scare him too much, okay?" Li giggled again and finished off the sandwich, rushing over to the bags from yesterday, ready to suit up. "Okay! And uhm... Mind helping me get this on..?" Beth smiled, got up and helped Li get the outfit on.

"Now go, and don't get in to any troubles!" Beth said, leading Li out of the apartment.

Li knocked on Nat's door and stood waiting, giggling slightly.

Waking up to a new day, he tripped over his controller walking to get breakfast,

After doing all his wake up checklist, he went down to get LED's for his costume.

Glenn woke up next to Zoey on the couch. Apparently, mom turned off the TV and tidied the room, since the dartboard was gone. He rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and clean his face. Once done, the dog returned to the living room, thinking of what to do today. It's Halloween! Making a costume would be fun, but it would be even more fun to carve pumpkins! He walked over to Zoey, put one arm on her and shook her lightly.
Hey Zoey... let's go do something fun. Wake up.

Rob walked inside the towers for the first time in his life. His dad was already up in their apartment 301, taking care of ordering the apartment. They just moved in from London. The workers were already done while Rob was sleeping in the car earlier. Dad probably didn't want to wake him up, so he took care of all the movement stuff himself. Whatever. Better for Rob. There was a cat sitting on a chair in the hallway, looking moody. Rob walked over to him, and extended his paw.
Hello. I'm Rob Ket, and I just moved in. I couldn't help but notice you're in a bad mood. What's wrong, pal?
