Housepets!

FunkyChickenFace

((ugh, RPer fail. Sry gaiz))

Frank and Matt rolled up beside them.
"So this is the new zoo, eh?" asked Frank. "Seems a lot like most other zoos in the country."

FunkyChickenFace

"Ahh... no," said Matt, "I'll just follow you then."
He quickly went and started up his car. "Ready when you are!" he yelled out the window.

FunkyChickenFace

Darin nestled against Jack, the petting calming him a bit. "That's good, I want him to get better." Jack nodded, " Yeah... I know how you feel... But remember what I said about Rikki? How he got that scar on his leg? He's pretty resilient, and Taku takes after him there, so don't wor...

FunkyChickenFace

Frank had no comment. Instead, he stared morosely at Taku's retreating back, depression settling back in like a blanket of doom.

FunkyChickenFace

Frank and Matt trailed behind Jack.
"I wonder what it'll be like for Darin to meet his family again...?"

FunkyChickenFace

Matt rolled his eyes, grinning in amusement.
"Yes, really Rikki. I'm totally the type to put a shock collar on my pets because I'm too anal to let them out of 30 yards from the house."

FunkyChickenFace

Matt cringed.
"You're absolutely certain, Rikki? I'd probably need a guide book or something...."

FunkyChickenFace

"I COULD propose to house Darin in our place, but the last time that happened we... well, let's just say that ended badly."
"Yeah.... I don't think anybody want's to repeat THAT experience."

FunkyChickenFace

Frank gave Darin a thumbs up.

"There, see? It's not AS bad....."
"It's still pretty bad though," whispered Matt.
"Shut up, you."

FunkyChickenFace

Frank and Matt grimaced. They tried to cheer Darin up.
"Errr... at least they'll have... lot's of... food?"
"Yeah! And they'll be cared for if they're sick!"
"And! And... and..... ummmmm....."

FunkyChickenFace

"Describe some more!" encouraged Matt.

FunkyChickenFace

"I would too... Say, what does Rikki's house look like?" asked Frank, quickly changing the subject.

FunkyChickenFace

"That's good. Would you want to live there?"

FunkyChickenFace

Frank chuckled.

"Naww, they've got a special saw to cut it off without hurting me when they think it's done healing. What was the wolf pack like?"

FunkyChickenFace

Frank winced.

"Ah... I hurt my foot earlier, and the vets say that I can't move it around. So they put a shell around it to keep me from moving it on accident.

FunkyChickenFace

Darin let go of Matt and stood back so he could see Matt and Frank. "We did all kinds of stuff! I saw the forest, learned how to swim, I saw Rikki's home, had ice cream, played fetch, and saw the wolf pack that lives here!" He said excitingly, tail wagging the whole time. "There's a ...

"Do anything fun lately?" asked Matt.
"Yeah! Whaddya do while we were gone? Go fishing? Fly a kite? Jump around laughing?"

FunkyChickenFace

"DARIN!!!" shouted Frank from atop Matt's shoulder's. "HIIIII!!!!" Matt smiled and waved too. "Hey buddy! How's it going?"

FunkyChickenFace

Rikki kept a brow raised the whole time, and lied back down with a sigh when Frank was done, " Well... I appreciate it, though I don't think you'll turn up much... Me and Jack have been looking for two years... " -------- Meanwhile -------- Sid had kept going, not seeing that they were ki...

Frank stirred from his depression.
"What happened to her?"

FunkyChickenFace

"Wait, who's Tati?"

FunkyChickenFace

Sid gave Sam a confused look, " 'Bi'? What's 'Bi'? What's that mean? " -------- The Station -------- Rikki stared off into space, perplexed, " But... Captivity... His naming ceremony... His first hunt... His mate... What if they don't let him have kids? What if they treat him accordi...

FunkyChickenFace

-------- Back in the waiting room -------- Rikki sighed, " Nah... I think I was more mad at the fact that you'd given him a name like he was your pet or something, and he's not: he's a wild-animal Matt, he belongs in the wild... " he continued to stroke Taku's back. Jack winced, " Uh...

FunkyChickenFace

Matt sighed, scratching his head.
"It's fine, Rikki. I see where you're coming from and I pretty much agree. So yeah...."

FunkyChickenFace

RockstarRaccoon wrote:Jack gave Matt a heavy pat on the back, "There, you look better already. Let's go back in through the front..." He began leading them to the front...

Frank and Matt followed him, Matt distinctly uncomfortable.

FunkyChickenFace

Matt gratefully washed his face, scrubbing it clean of all tear marks and rinsing his eyes. Soon enough, he looked human again. With a bit of help, Frank did so too, albeit with a bit of grumbling at how the water was too wet.
"Right. So now what?"

FunkyChickenFace

RockstarRaccoon wrote:"Yeah, come on..." Jack said, getting up and pulling Matt with him, leading the two to the backside of the station.

Matt and Frank followed silently. Well, Matt carried Frank, but same principle really.

FunkyChickenFace

Jack sighed, " Well... We're gonna need to take Darin to the zoo soon, so I wanted to ask you to come with... He really likes you and Frank, and I think it would help if you were there... You think you could stick around and do that? At least visit him. That's what you came here to do, isn't i...

FunkyChickenFace

Jack sighed, patting Matt on the back more, " It's ok... Don't mention it... Everyone needs some time every once in a while... Hey, " He squeezed Matt's shoulder again, " Don't worry about it, like I said: it'll all work out. You'll see... " Matt sighed again, rubbing at his eye...

FunkyChickenFace

Matt managed to calm down.
"Sorry," he sniffed. "For troubling you. I usually just sit in my bed and read a book when I'm depressed...."

FunkyChickenFace

Matt dissolved into a puddle of sobs, shaking uncontrollably as he weeped into his hands, tears dripping down.

FunkyChickenFace

Matt was stifling his tears by this point. "We don't know ANYTHING about this ritual!! HOW can we assume ANYTHING?!! WE CANNOT!!! WE can only WATCH and WAIT and see what happens!!! Which, by the way, tends to be the worst case scenario. Every time. Meanwhile, Frank moved his head out of the pud...

FunkyChickenFace

"WHAT?!" shouted Matt, springing up and cracking his head against a branch. He sat back down with a groan. "Oh God save me, I have to explain to his parents now...."

FunkyChickenFace

Matt frowned. "Rikki's not the point. The point is whether... the pup will be accepted by his pack, if he returns to his pack. More importantly, what if the name screws him over when he's older? What if he tries to get a mate and he's soundly rejected for having a weird name?! What if he ends u...

FunkyChickenFace

Matt raised an eyebrow. "Doubtful."

FunkyChickenFace

Matt grunted. Frank fell sideways, tears trickling down his face. "What do you mean? I mean, I've ruined a life, haven't I? Does it matter if he get's over it? It's D-no. it's the wolf pup I have to worry about now. About how I've completely screwed him over...." Matt sighed again. Frank s...

FunkyChickenFace

Matt sighed. Quietly, he handed the completed paperwork to Jack and trudged out of the building. He went and sat at the base of a pine tree, the branches hiding him from view. Frank followed him in his crutches. "....we're just two screwed up little idiots, aren't we, Frank?" "Yep.&qu...

FunkyChickenFace

Matt sighed. Terrible didn't even begin to describe how he felt.

"Look, I didn't know any of this. If I did, I would never have done such a callous thing. Now I'm gonna go be suicidal in the corner. Is there anything else you want to yell at me about?"
