"both are good, I think I like pasta a little more though. How about you ?"

"No worries. Come, sit down and make yourselves at home. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?" John queries, passing the couple their plates and cutlery.

"Your wife here called us about Flukely." Carter informed, smiling.

"We thank you for that by the way!"

Both of them took a seat at the table.

"Hey! I didn't say no..." The feline grumbled, reaching for her collar to unclip her red tags as she walked over to Kandi. "Now that I look at them they do look like the same color as one of the circle things that humans shoot their guns at..."

He can do more of the heavy lifting than I can. Plus, I think he's proud of Phil and hoping to pass the business to him one day. He's recovered from his food poisoning too, thank goodness."

"Well I'm glad to hear-" Lucky was suddenly cut off by banging and shouting from the kitchen. "What the heck is going on in there?"

Flukely smiled, his tail wagging. The dog removed his collar and began reading the back of the tag. He sighed and clicked his collar back on.

"I am, under no circumstances, allowed to remove this tag."

Flukely shrugged, mumbling something about life in French.

"I think you'll be fine, Fluke, I think we all know you're not a vicious kind of dog or anything." Tesla said to the other dog, doing his best to sound reassuring

Kandi smiles at the grumbling puma, as she sprints over to claim her new tags..

What? you mean clay pigeons??
When did you ever get close to a skeet range? That doesn't sound like a place a wild cat would ever want to be anywhere nearby too.

Although i haven't been skeet shooting in a coons age..
Where you wanting to try to blast some of those clay pigeons out of the air?
I don't see what possibly could go wrong with giving a catamount an firearm, do you?

Ryze purred and nuzzled Ryyn's shoulder. "I don't know. Should I call him?" she asked.

Flukely smiled at the nickname Tesla had given him just then.

"Thanks, Tes!"

Charles chuckled, taking on his aloof cat stance, but with a kind smile.

"I... Have no idea..." Piper sounds worried. "Should we go make sure they're all right?"

"Better that than having you waste away, Kilo." Joan jokes before turning back to Flukely's owners.
"You're welcome." she smiles. "I'm glad you got him back safe and sound. I know how important pets are to the family. So you guys are new to the area too, huh? What brought you here?"

Flynn grins. "I'm a rabbit. Take a guess." he quips dryly. "More drink?"

"It was just a lot quieter than our old town." Marissa half-lies.

Carter nods along, looking at Marissa. It sounded sincere at least.

"Indeed, my friends," Kilo joked, "I cannot recall the last time the Maguires drove cattle through the high street." He chuckled. "No," he added, "this is a peaceful enough place."

"What?!" Blast what in the where? The cougar took the tags and clipped them onto her collar, all shiny and new.

"I was talking about those targets that you humans shoot at sometimes, with the circle, in the circle, in the circle, and the circle inside is always red."

But what was this about clay pigeons? The feline looked down, jingling her new tags. "If they're made out of clay... Can they... Fly?"

Kandi goes to her room and digs around in the closet... getting a dusty box down from the top shelf..
bringing it out to the table..
These are clay pigeons.. Hmmm I seem to have ones with yellow, or Orange centers..
She takes an orange centered one out and slams it on he table so it breaks..
See it's made of clay..
At the gun range they have a machine that can throw these up into the air.. ten you blast them out of the air with a shotgun..

Hlaoroo wrote:"I... Have no idea..." Piper sounds worried. "Should we go make sure they're all right?"

"Maybe we-" Lucky was cut off by ore yelling and banging. There was a period of silence before a very nervous Abagail exited the kitchen.

With all eyes on her she began to speak. "Uh...there has been a conflict with the staff. They have...er...well...quit. So I am very sorry to say that we will have to close. If you have ordered your food you will not have to pay."

There was loud groaning and moaning throughout the restaurant at this announcement.

Lucky did not groan or moan. Instead his left merely twitched twice and then he slammed his head down on the table.

Ryze nodded, pulling out her phone and dialing Pyre's number.

"Ah, well. That's- Lucky! Don't do that! We can still have a great night! Are you okay?" Piper puts her arm around Lucky's shoulders, hugging him close.
"C'mon, Lucky. Who needs a fancy restaurant anyway? All I really want for a great date is to spend time with you. That's it. You're more important to me than any fancy meal or classy restaurant. Heck, even just watching the sun go down somewhere and cuddling you would be an amazing date." The doe kisses her buck's cheek gently.
"Are you okay, Lucky?"

"It is quiet, when Kilo's not having wild parties with all the rats in the floorboards." John jokes. "So what do you guys do for a living? Joan and I are in software and IT and it was business opportunities that bought us here. We generally work from home here but our employers are based in the city."

"We should go on a date some time." Flynn blurts suddenly. "Just the two of us. Could be fun. What do you think?"

Senka shielded her face with her arm and gritted her teeth as her owner slammed the disk against the table.
"Mmh... You humans sure have a knack for finding reasons to shoot things..." The cougar mumbled, clearly not approving of this pastime. Senka walked up to the pieces of pigeon and picks up a piece.
"And naming them after an animal too isn't very reassuring..." And it looked nothing like a bird!

Lucky sighed. "Once I stop seething with the rage of one thousands suns I will be." He picked his head off of the table and looked at Piper. "I guess you're right though. Besides there are probably people having worse nights than us, right."

Abagail walked over to their table "So we're giving everyone a nice coupon to make up for...for..." Suddenly she very loudly burst crying.

"Case in point," said Lucky. He took a handkerchief out of his collar and handed it Abagail. She accepted it and loudly blew her nose.

Senka's eyes narrowed in annoyance when Kandi mentioned the animal shaped targets, not sure whether she was simply joking or she was telling the truth... Honestly, the former would be preferable.
"Mmh... Well, I don't really care too much for birds to be honest." As a predator birds were considered prey after all, though with all those feathers they sometimes made a frustrating meal...
"But YOU do this? Umm, shoot these clay circle things, that is." The cougar had never seen her owner hold a gun before, at least that she could recall. Maybe the closest thing was... One of those water hose guns shed use to wash the horses with?
"Now that I think of it... I never really see you do anything besides animal stuff or... Farm stuff." She glanced over at Kandi.

I'll have to look into getting you some shooting glasses, and hearing protection.
