Amelia was about to take a seat when Alex walked in front of her. "Uhm, Amelia.....Would you..... I, erh, mean, could you..... or no no, wait...... would you like to go somewhere later? Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask." Amelia stared blankly at Alex she was going to answer when the music by Lucky distracted her, his music was very beautiful and calming to her and his voice was a great touch. When lucky was done she even applauded with the others. Still facing Alex she realized she forgot the question, Oh, uh...what did you ask again? slightly blushing for forgetting the question so easily.

Pyxis didn't hear any of Lucky's music, he was too busy trying not be choked by Amelia. When she stopped, Pyxis took a few deep breaths looking at Amelia with confusion, Doesn't she even know shes practically dragging me across the room? Taking a few more breaths he noticed Alex in front of her. Pyxis gave a sigh of relief, he was glad Alex stopped her from moving for a little bit, Finally, something good from him... He knew he would have to thank him later...If whatever he was planning worked.

As Felix left, O'Connor bent down again, looking at Tory. Tory gave him a distrustful look. "So, now that the raccoon is gone, how hard do you plan on trying to eat me?"
O'Connor sighed. "Theise lads an' their enabeleteh tu trust otheres. Luk, Ah'm no' gunna eat ya. Ah brought ya 'ere so tha' yur wing culd heal. Ah don' know where ya go' the rediculuous ideah tha' Ah wuz gunna ate ye, bu' tha' i'nt gonna happen. Anehweis, Ah'm O"Connor. Ah be' yur hungreh. How 'bout we go intu the kitchen an' fuind ye sumthin' te eat." He turned to the kitchen. Tory, however, didn't move. "Bluff all you want, old dog. I'm not letting my guard down. And I'm not moving from this spot." "Fuine," O'Connor said. "Be tha' wei. Bu' yu're gonna ge' hungreh a' sum poin'. Ahnd et'll beh hard tu ge' food from there." O'Connor then left the room. Tory sat there, indignant. Then, he heard a violin playing. Curious, he walked over to the door and saw O'Connor, playing the violin. It was a distinctly Scottish tune, one that made Tory sad but calm. He enjoyed it, and began to chirp in tune. O'Connor was surprised by the bird, but didn't stop playing. Eventually, the song became louder and smoother. Finishing off with a loud end. The two looked at each other, smiling. "Alright, you're not so bad." "Tol' ye," the old dog retorted. "Naow, le's ge' yu some food." "No thanks, I'm not hungry. Instead, let's go look around the neighborhood!" He then took a giant leap and landed on O'Connor's shoulder, then lept up on his head. "Let's go, slowpoke!" O'Connor smiled, and walked to the front door with Tory still on his head, opened it, and headed out.

"Hey, are you alright?" she asked, concerned. The dog looked extremely miserable. "I know shots are never fun, but we need them to feel better. I'm Rachel, who are you?"

Even though Magnus was feeling better, he still wasn't one hundred percent. But he was still enough of himself to offer Rachel a wobbly smile. "I'm Magnus," he said, testing himself to make sure he was feeling up to conversation. His stomach queasiness was going down, but he still felt really dizzy. He put one hand on the seat of his chair to brace himself. He liked her caring attitude. He wanted to say something else to her (half because he didn't want Pavelle to make him go home all day long and rest, and half beause he enjoyed conversations with new people), but couldn't think of anything except music, which had been the main topic of a lot of the conversations he heard today. He decided to go with that, guiltily ignoring Pavelle, who was taping her foot in impatience and making exasperated noises. He took a deep, steadying breath before he continued, laying his other hand on his stomach, subconsciously reassuring himself that he was getting better. "Are you going to be in the band? Do you play an inst-ru-ment?" He struggled for the word, trying not to wince at the throbbing he could feel on his thigh where Pavelle had jabbed him.

Meanwhile...
Felix dragged his feet on the way back to the coffeeshop, thinking. This acting like a pet, friendly thing was actually kind of, well... fun. He almost liked it that O'Connor seemed to trust him. Almost. He still knew that it was bad to let down his guard. And that he should never fully trust pets. Especially nice pets. Feeling a bit troubled, he looked around. There was The Wall. And looking through the window, he could see pets. Maybe less than before, but still. He groaned, dragging his feet even more to slow his process. A bunch of them seemed to be in a large group, which was good. Meant that he could possibly sneak in and find a place to hide until Edie decided to leave. Minimal interaction was what he needed.

Magnus yelped, suprised at the sting, but held still. A couple minutes later, he sat up a little straighter, and Pavelle gave him a follow-up pill to swallow. He did so obediately, already feeling better. "You doing alright?" she asked him quietly, and he shook his head 'yes'. She sighed, then said, "I guess we'd probably better get you home." And then to Cier, "Thank you," and then to Rav, "It's not your fault, Rav. You didn't force him to drink it. In an hour or two he should be fine." She wasn't angry at the German Shepard. He hadn't known what the coffee could do.

Rav watched helplessly as Pavelle came dashing up, an started to work on the sickened dog. like a vet in coon clothes, she was injecting him, an giving him pills, checking him over for this an that.. holding his paw with her fingers on his wrist, then laying her head on his chest an listening to his breathing. Rav began to wonder if she had a job as vet tech or something, altho he had never see her at the clinic.
He was relieved when she stated that he was going to be alright in a few hours, but Rav still felt horrible, despite her saying it wasn't his fault..
But it was my fault.. he said that you didn't allow him to have coffee..
Looking ashamed an down at the floor at her feet. uncharacteristically having his tail tuck-up between his legs.
I just assumed that you didn't want him getting wild an uncontrollable, i see why humans drink that stuff, it has quite a kick. But i didn't think to asked him why he wasn't allowed to have it.. or check with you as to why.
Rav looks over to Magnus an back to Pavelle.
An what did just happen to him? i have never seen any get that sick, that fast before. by just something they ate or drank..
Rav goes over to stand behind Magnus's chair, hugging an holding him across his broad shoulders. trying to help the big dane stay steadly an upright in the chair.
Rav sheepishly barks.
Is it ok if i stay with him, until he recovers an is able to get back up onto his paws, Miss Pavelle?

Rav rubs Magnus's shoulders, an then sniffs at his own arms..
Why am i bleeding? looking strangely at scratched an fur torn places on his forearms..

Magnus wrote: "Are you going to be in the band? Do you play an inst-ru-ment?"

Rachel smiled at him. "Why, actually, I do. I play the cello professionally and play the piano at home. As for the band... I'm not sure. I'd like to be in it, but if there's only a limited number of spots, I wouldn't want to take a spot that someone else had wanted."

Rachel looked up at the raccoon who had given Magnus the shot. She was obviously irritated. Perhaps she was just a bit overprotective of Magnus?... no, there was something more than that. She seemed as though she disliked Rachel for some reason. But why? This raccoon didn't even know Rachel, did she?

Her thoughts were interrupted when a German Shepherd came rushing up behind Magnus, spewing apologies and claiming responsibility for what had just happened. He addressed the raccoon as "Pavelle."

"So, Pavelle, you must be Magnus' sister," Rachel said to the raccoon, smiling. "I'm sorry if I'm keeping you two here, I was just concerned for him." She turned back to Magnus. "Even the toughest of us need to rest after something like that. You should probably go home and rest. I know it sucks and it's boring, but it's what's best for you. And if you're feeling up to it tomorrow, we could go watch the band auditions!"

Rav wrote: Why am i bleeding?

"You seemed to be pretty stressed out when he had his reaction, and you were pulling your fur out," Rachel said, looking at the bald, bleeding patches on his arm. "Pavelle, do you have any bandages in that first aid kit?"~

Matthew took a seat between Cier and Octavian. "Hey," Matthew said as he sat down. "So are either of you going to try out for the band auditions tomorrow?" he asked, excited.

As the two walked around, O'Connor thought to himself. Odd, Ah 'ave a berd sittin' on mah 'ead! He chuckled slightly, realizing the oddity the two probably looked like. They turned the corner, and the Wall came into view. O'Connor realized that he had left his coffee there and started heading in that direction. Tory, however, had other plans.
"Whoa, there, no no no no no no! Cease, desist, stop walking!" The small Cardinal began pulling on O'Connor's ears out of desperation. O'Connor gave a cry of pain, and called up at the bird. "Oi, wha's the big ideah?"
"You might be kosher, O'Connor, but I never said anything about otherpets!"
"Don' wurreh, Ah'm jes' goin' ta ge' mah coffeh!"
"Not with me on your head you aren't, gramps!"
"Oi, muind yur elders! Yu're the one who wanted to hitch a ruide on mah 'ead!"
"And I plan on staying here! I'm not getting eaten by some hungry animal any time soon!"
O'Connor snorted. "A'ruight, ya see the table o'er there?"
"Yea..."
Tha's mah coffeh on the table. Ah'm jus' gonna ge' i', an' we can go. 's tha' a'ruight?"
".....alright, that works. But I'm staying hidden!"
O'Connor snorted again."Ahnd how du ya plan on doin' tha-" Suddenly, he felt a digging sensation on his head. Looking over at the widow he was next to, he caught a glimpse of Tory burying himself in O'Connor's hair. Within seconds, he was completely out of sight. Wha? Haow much 'air du Ah have on mah head? he thought, then shaking it off, he called up again.
"Ye all gud?"
A muffled yeah came back. O'Connor sighed, and headed towards the table where his coffee was sitting. He hadn't planned on talking to anyone anyways, but if the bird was that scared of pets......

"I'm afraid not, I don't play anything. I would however be interested in watching the auditions. I'm sure Del would like to come as well." He looked at the mouse, who had wandered back over to thier end of the table. "Of course i would like to go see the auditions, it's not like i have anything else to do yet."

A move-in truck drove the main street till it had to turn right. The truck drived to the second intersection and took another right turn. The truck drove to the last house on the right and stopped. The driver opened a little hatch to the trunk (or what ever it's called) and said "Time to wake up cat. Were there." The driver shut the hatch, got out from the truck and opened the door to the trunk. Iiro waked up and stretched a little. "Already? It has been only three hours." Iiro said and walked out from the trunk. "Oh well, we should start lifting the stuff to the house so you could get on your way." Iiro said lifting his plasma tv. Iiro and the truck driver got the stuff pretty fast to the house. "Ok, so how much was it?" Iiro said "250 dollars" the driver said "Here's 300$. Buy something nice to your daughter." Iiro said with a smile. "Thank you, I will." the driver said, got back to the truck and drove off. Iiro walked inside the house. "So, now I live here. Well the neighbourhood seems nice." He said and started to search his kantele. "I can unpack everything later." He found his kantele and the sling to it. He put the sling to the kantele and then put the kantele to his back. "I think I should take a walk to get to know the places and see if I could find some other pets." He went out and started to walk to the direction of The Wall. (Not that he would know it yet)

Magnus felt Rav behind him, holding onto his shoulders, helping him maintain balance. He was grateful for the help. Rachel said someting about going to the musical auditions, and Magnus smiled his own enthusiasm, trying not to move too much and fall. "Music!" he said excitedly, stomach almost forgotten, though the dizziness was still present. He looked over his shoulder at Rav, then bck at Rachel. "Can Rav come too?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is it ok if i stay with him, until he recovers an is able to get back up onto his paws, Miss Pavelle?

Miss Pavelle? Why the formality? She realized that she had subconsciously been acting a little too irked during this whole thing, especially, for some reason, towards Rachel. She took a deep breath, relaxing a little bit, and put on a smile, which she showed to Rav. "Yeah. It's fine with me, and I'm sure the company will do Magnus some good. He should be fine the rest of the day, and feeling normal in a couple hours. That's what the pill was for." She reached out to pat Rav's arm, then noticed the blood. Taking a small inhale of breath, she stepped a little backwards, trying to repress the memories bubbling to the surface of her mind. She managed to get a hold of herself, eyes keeping away from Rav's arms.

"Pavelle, do you have any bandages in that first aid kit?"

It was Rachel who spoke. Oh. Duh. She should have thought of that. "Yeah, just a second," she replied, setting the box on the table and clicking it open. With one hand, she grabbed gauze and medical tape, with the other, normal human Band-Aids. She gestured with the latter, saying, "I don't know how well these'll work on Rav, even though now he does have exposed skin. Do you think it'd be better to use the guaze and tape?"

Meanwhile...
Felix had just settled himself on a chair across the room from the commotion when O'Connor entered the Wall. He looked at the dog, curious, bewildered. "Hey, Benuto?" he called softly, using just enough volume for the dog to hear. He didn't want to really shout; that would draw too much attention to himself. "Where's Tory? Did you eat him, after all?" Because the bird plainly wasn't in sight, that was the assumpiton the raccoon made.

Venison rolled his eyes. "Gimme those." He grabbed the gauze and medical tape from Pavelle's hand, as well as a small spray can of antiseptic from the first aid kit. The wound was nothing major; it was bleeding because of the simple fact that flesh came out with the fur, because of a hard, fast tug. "Band-aids won't cover the area of those wounds. At least, not those dinky things." Venison quickly set to work on Rav, disinfecting the wounds with a quick spray, then covering with the gauze, then strapping down the gauze with two strands of medical tape by wrapping them around Rav's arm. There were a couple of patches to mend, but the entire thing took no more than two minutes.

"There. Done." Venison snapped his fingers to exaggerate the speed of his work. "Now let's get the big guy home before he falls over. I wouldn't want Magnus to smash me by accident."

O'Connor glanced over at Felix, who apparently had decided to come back to the Wall. "Ah, no, jes' came back ta ge' mah co-"
Suddenly, the old terrier grew a small red mohawk that gave a firm "Shhhhh!" and went back under. "-ffeh." From within his headfur came "You said you were just going to get your coffee!" "Ahnd Ah'm guessin' yu've figured ou' where Toreh is."

Matthew laughed. "I play the violin. I've played since I was a pup- music is my life. I can pick up pretty much any instrument easily, but the only one I've really stuck with is a violin. I'm a decent guitar player, although I don't have a guitar, and I'm good at playing a drum kit, but I don't have one of those, either," he explained. "And I know that a violin isn't really a great instrument for a rock band, but I do have an electric violin, and Rachel over there has an electric cello. And if I can't get in on that, I can always try the other more 'standard' instruments."~

Magnus wrote: "Music!" he said excitedly, stomach almost forgotten, though the dizziness was still present. He looked over his shoulder at Rav, then back at Rachel. "Can Rav come too?"

"Sure!" Rachel exclaimed, "The more, the merrier!" Her voice took on a slightly more serious tone-"but that's tomorrow. Right now you need to get some rest."

Venison wrote: "There. Done." Venison snapped his fingers to exaggerate the speed of his work. "Now let's get the big guy home before he falls over. I wouldn't want Magnus to smash me by accident."

"Alright, I'll see you guys later," Rachel said to Venison and Pavelle. "And I'll see you tomorrow, big guy," she said a bit more quietly to Magnus. She smiled at him again.

"Ahnd Ah'm guessin' yu've figured ou' where Toreh is."

Felix grinned, watching the top of O'Connor's head closely. He thought he could see a bit of red from the hiding bird. "Hey, Tory," he said, eyes and ears flicking in the direction of the bigger group of pets to evaluate the fact that both Edie and Magnus seemed to be leaving, "I have a feeling that most animals around here would prefer to eat pet food than live animals. Just to give you the headsup, I think you might be safe." He stood, stretching, though he had only just sat down a minute or two ago. "Well, if you would both excuse me, I've got to follow my sister and Magnus out of here." He gave a wave and then sauntered over to the door and outside, leaning against one of the Wall's walls ((heh heh)) to wait for the others to finish their conversations and join him.

Meawhile...

"Now let's get the big guy home before he falls over. I wouldn't want Magnus to smash me by accident."

Pavelle rolled her eyes dramatically, but nodded her head. "Okay Mag, time to go," she said, taking one of his arms and trying to pull him up out of his chair. He stood slowly, feeling wobbly, taking a couple steps in place in order to stabilize himself. His arms were slightly outstretched for extra balance. The movement made him feel a little queasier, but not anything like before.

"Alright, I'll see you guys later," Rachel said to Venison and Pavelle. "And I'll see you tomorrow, big guy," she said a bit more quietly to Magnus. She smiled at him again.

Magnus smiled back, giving an enthusiastic good-bye wave that caused him to stagger to the left. He straightened himself, confusion dawning on his face, wondering how the movement of one hand could upset his stance.

"Well, I think we should be going too. It is starting to get late." Standing up, he allowed Del to climb up his arm. "We'll be seeing some of you tomorrow then, goodbye." Del waved as they walked out of the Wall and headed off down the street.

I did this......, to myself??? but i don't remember doing this... I don't have self-destructive tendencies in my profile..
He reaches up an scratches at an itch along the side of his neck, ruffling the bandana down a bit, exposing the tops of the hidden red tags..

Rav reaches out an offers his paw to Racheal, in the canine shake paws format.
I am called Rav now.. An if you all need a place to practice or play, there is an old barn that my mom owns, an that we have been fixing up.. got electrical outlets an lights now.. the main space up in the loft is 24' wide by 30' to 36' long. that should be big enough to hold a pet band concert in right??

altho he was thinking, "Venison's craziness is rubbing off on me", he for once kept his big muzzle shut, as well as holding his emotions in check, as the coy dog showed off his medical skills.

As Felix left, Tory mumbled, "If I get eaten, its on his head...." then popped out and jump0ed down onto the table. "But it looks like everyone's leaving, anyways, so I guess we can stay if you want. By the way, why did the raccoon call you Benuto? Didn't you say your name was O'Connor?"
But the old dog wasn't listening. Instead, he was watching the second raccoon that Felix had referred to as his sister. 'is sistere? He thought. She didn't look wild. She looked very much domesticated. But Felix was obviously wild. Could she be the reason he was here? But, if so, why? And why would she be domesticated and not him? It was all rather confusing to him.

"O'Connor? Hey, O'Connor!"

The old dog blinked. "Ah, sorreh, mah las' name's Benuto." He gave the other raccoon one last glance and turned back to the bird. "Anehweis, Ah onleh wanted mah coffeh. Le's head overe tu the park. Haven't been there ye' sence Ah moved 'ere." Tory smiled at the idea. "Sure, let's head over there!" He hopped back on the dog's head, and the two headed north.

Magnus clutched gratefully to Rav after staggering, using the other dog to keep himself steady. He saw Octavian yawn and did so himself, rubbing blearily at his eyes. He hadn't realized how tired he was until now. Getting shots always took a lot out of him, for some reason. Pavelle noticed his sleepiness and started propelling Rav and Magnus towards the door. "Come on, you two, let's get going," she said, pushing them both out of the Wall. She ignored Felix, who was leaning against one of the walls, waiting for them, earning a frown from him for doing so.

"I haven't really seen you at all today. Doesn't that make you curious as to what I was doing? Don'tcha want to know how my day went?" he asked, ears perked up, looking excitedly at Edie.

"No. Not really," she said, rolling her eyes skyward, stepping past him. She missed the flicker of hurt that crossed his face.

"Awwww. You're no fun at all. I'm surprised you even have friends." He looked deliberately at Rav, eyes flicking to the red at his neckline, and then to the bandages on his arms. Quickly assessing. He gave the German Shepard a smile, saying, "Are you Edie's boyfriend? Or maybe Magnus'... you obviously care about them. And I won't hold anything against you." Meaning it to be a joke, of course.

Felix titled his head to the side, an imitation of Rav. "Hmmm. I don't really 'play'. I like to think that I'm too old for that kind of nonsense." He stepped after them down the road, walking at a leisurely pace because Magnus wasn't going too fast. "And I don't want you really getting too close to me, because I don't intend to stay here much longer." At this, Pavelle's head turned sharply to stare at Felix, eyes narrowed. Him leave? As much as she liked the notion of it, she knew that he never intended to leave without her. So what did it mean? She wasn't planning on going anywhere. What was he going to do?

Iiro had slowed his walking speed, taking his time to observe the neighborhood. He continued his walk till he got to the intersection and stopped to look around. He heard some voices and saw some pets coming out from a building. 'Maybe there's a coffee shop or something in that building' Iiro thought and walked to the door. He looked into the building and saw that it was a coffee shop after all. Iiro walked to a empty table at the corner of the coffee shop and sat there.

In that case, I'll just drop it away. *walks to the window and opens it* We don't want it burn anything, now, do we? Our dad once dropped a still burning cigarette in the bin and it started burning.

No way, fatty, I wanna play an instrumental first.
At these words, Mai's face turned into her silly sad expression. Fake tears built in her eyes.
But... but.... I am not fat..... - she said, while inspecting her tummy with her paws.

Gary chuckled at her reaction. While pretending he's interested in the scene that is currently happening between her, Alex and Lucky, he walked stealthy behind Amelia to Pyxis.
Pssst! - he said in his ear. With that, his paws flew to Pyxis' collar, and with one swift move, the leash was off.
Now go. I'll leave here tonight anyways, so I don't care about her reaction. Leaving with or without her being my friend is something I really don't care, and I couldn't bear watching you anymore with that leash on.
He petted Pyxis on his head, and then returned to his original position in front of the bookshelf with the vinyls, smiling at Pyxis.

"Now go. I'll leave here tonight anyways, so I don't care about her reaction. Leaving with or without her being my friend is something I really don't care" Pyxis smiled back at Gary, Yeah, easy for you, but for me...I live with her... Pyxis moved away from Amelia without making a sound, heading for the front door of Lucky's house. Looking back he whispered to himself, Sorry Amelia, but I think its a little safer for me to be without you for a while... He opened the door outside, careful to make sure when he closed it so it wouldn't make a sound. Once outside he reached out with his paw to feel his neck, Still hurts a little... muttering to himself. Pyxis shrugged his shoulders, walking towards his house.

Amelia approached Alex, she had a confused look on her face, Wait what did you ask again? Amelia looked around the room trying to avoid eye contact with Alex, her eyes wandered around for a bit noticing things she hadn't seen, like Alex's sister, and Gary examining the bookshelf full of vinyls, and of course lucky. Her eyes continued looking around the room, but something felt wrong, holding the leash she noticed it felt a little easy to move, she turned around and gave a small gasp, Pyxis was gone. Fear started rising in her, and it began to show.

O'Connor walked up the street, Tory on his head, and turned into the park as he came to the East entrance. It was a beautiful park to him; the smell of grass and the multitude of plowers were uplifting to the old dog. He walked up to the creek bed and looked in the water. Tory hopped down and began to poke through the grass for something to eat. O'Connor smiled, and sat down in the grass by the creek. A warm breeze flowed by his head, and he smiled slightly, his eyes beginning to droop. Slowly, he laid back, and fell asleep. Tory looked up just in time to see the old dog lay down and walked over. "Hey, O'Connor? You tired?" The dog didn't answer, but began to breathe slowly. Tory suddenly felt tired himself, and curled up by O'Connor's side, falling asleep himself. But before he slipped into subconsciousness, he made a decision. O'Connor's not a bad guy. I think I'd like to stay with him.

Wandering through town, there only seems to be houses now. He can't quite place where he is, never been on this side of the bridge before but he was feeling especially bold today, he even dared to walk through the open streets.

Dylan wrote:"Wait what did you ask again?

The enthusiasm on Alex' face disappeared, as he figured out that he forgot the question. What to do now? Just ask another one? That would be a good solution - she didn't knew what he asked either. But of course, a second problem surfaced as well, and that's just what to ask her now? There was absolutely no inspiration for a good question in this room. He thought quickly about any solution, until........

Dylan wrote:She turned around and gave a small gasp. Pyxis was gone. Fear started rising in her, and it began to show.

A small shock hit both Alex and Mai. Pyxis was gone.... but he was there just a couple of seconds ago! Being nervous about the new situation, sweat built on Alex' skin, soaking his fur. How could Amelia possibly react to this? Yes, he could get hurt, but Amelia could hurt him even more in an attempt to punish him.
Err... Amelia! *walks in front of her* Uhm... let's not overreact. He'll be fine, he'll probably just go home now. Just.... calm down... please. - he said, while staring in her eyes, hoping that his eyes will calm her down like they used to do. He continued to stare until....
Hey, Amelia! What are you going to do now to Pyxis?! I bet you are going to punish him HARD! - exclaimed Mai, with a curious expression. It seemed like she was more interested than worried about Pyxis......

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:18 pm

Pyxis passed the Abandoned house, wondering if he should explore it again. I told myself I would go back... he stopped right before the bridge crossed over the water, After a few minutes he convinced himself that he would go back into the house.

"Err... Amelia!" *walks in front of her* "Uhm... let's not overreact. He'll be fine, he'll probably just go home now. Just.... calm down... please." Amelia looked a little annoyed with Alex, His eyes were not calming her at all. Facing him with a raised voice, Calm down? Calm down! How can I calm down? Pyxis is missing and I need to find him before he hurts himself! She stormed over to the doorway of the room, she heard Mai ask her a question, "Hey, Amelia! What are you going to do now to Pyxis?! I bet you are going to punish him HARD!" She turned around to face Mai, That's not a bad I idea Mai...I'm probably going to use two things, I'll give you a hint, the first one is a freebie, lock, and the other word rhymes with it and begins with an S. with that she quickly ran over to the front door starting to unlock it, she tried opening it before she realized that it was already unlocked and she just locked it. Angry she unlocked it once more, Alex, I don't know if your coming, but I'm going after Pyxis. not waiting for a reply she took off into the street.

As he walks by he looks to his left, noticing a large lot with an abandoned, run down house in it and tall unkempt grass growing around it.Oh, lucky me! Another place where I can bunk down inconspicuously. Good to have a new place to live. Home sweet home. He begins to slowly make his way towards the house, keeping low in the tall grass so as not to be spotted.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 3:31 am

Alex watched Amelia shout and run off, without having to say a single word himself. Is she really going to lock Pyxis somewhere? He sat in the nearby chair, sighing and facepawing, burying his face in both paws.
That's my luck. After the events at The Wall I come here hoping that it will be a nice, fun afternoon, and this happens.
After a short break of sighing and thinking, he says: I'm not going. I'm not following her. I came here to make some music, and that's exactly what I'll do! So... - turns to Lucky, while now forcing the enthusiastic face back, where's the electric guitar? I finally want to....
But wait, Alex.... what will Amelia do to Pyxis now, with a lock and a sock?
Although this would be very funny in another situation, this time it only frustrated Alex. However, he was careful not to show it. Not to ruin someone else's mood too, now that his was ruined.
We won't talk about that anymore. I'll tell you when we get home.
That was enough to make Mai still. However, Gary wasn't still done.
I'll go. I'll go with her, to find her brother. Alex, I'll see you back home.
Before anyone could say or do anything, he run out through the door and out of the house.
Amelia! Hey, Amelia! Where are you?! Amel.... *AUGH!*
Before he could call her a third time, a very sharp rock found itself in his way (Keep in mind that he started running forward, so basically in the direction of the abandoned house. However, since there's no street, it's very likely that there are rocks), cutting his paws and causing him to fall over. However, it was still not over. As he fell, he slid on the ground, the earth burning and hurting his chest, until.... mud stopped him.
Ouch.... that hurt.
He used his arm to bounce himself away from the mud, and then he shook most of it off. It was then when he felt the sharp pain in his right paw (foot), and upon inspecting it, seeing blood.
Ouch... it... freaking hurts! - came the whining between the panting. Tears built in his eyes, as the pain increased. One was sure, he wasn't able to get up now. How long until someone finds him here? (Remember, luck - 2)

Lucky keeps watching, respectfully staying quiet until he is addressed. "Er, yeah Alex. Right there in the corner." (Image will be posted in the end). "Are you sure we shouldn't go after them? I mean this could be serious. Amelia seems genuinely worried about this. I mean sure I'll play music, but think this out a little more."

Octavian sat on his deck starring out into the park. of course there wasn't any thing to do in the house and nothing else he could think of that he could do. so here he was sitting on his own deck pondering if a tomato was a vegetable or a fruit. he yawned again looking around once more. he watched a bee fly around the ceiling until it went in a hole and didn't come out again. he got up deciding to take a walk. he stepped off his deck and went left towards Pyxis' house again. huh, just like this morning... he saw a cat on the other side of the bridge. not on the bridge but close to the dirt road that lead to the abandoned house. aw crap, i hope he... or she doesn't go in... he thought starting to jog towards the bridge in hope of catching the cat before he/she got in any trouble.

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:13 pm

Amelia was running as fast as she could, but couldn't find Pyxis anywhere. She took a deep breath, Pyxis! Pyxis! Where are you? she couldn't take anymore running, she slowed her pace to walking, she looked wildly around her, nothing but that old house. Amelia continued walking toward the bridge and could see a figure coming toward her, Pyxis? but when she looked closer, she saw that it was Pyxis' friend Octavian.

Pyxis walked up to the front door, it was still unlocked from his earlier visit so he wouldn't have to jump to the second story again...Or fall down some stairs. Pyxis held out his paw to push the door open, but stopping a few inches from the handle. He thought if he should actually do this, after all he got in trouble with it earlier with Amelia and look how that turned out. He backed away from the door, Nah, this is not worth it... Suddenly he heard a voice in the distance calling his name, it was faint but he could hear it, Pyxis! Pyxis! Where are you? Amelia was apparently looking for him and he had nowhere to hide, He looked back at the door, And faster then he could think, he pushed open the door and shutting it behind him, he checked out the window to make sure that she passed, when she did he sighed out in relief.

Kalvin wrote:Er, yeah Alex. Right there in the corner.

Finally! - said Alex, as he saw the guitar in the corner. He walked towards it, and right when his paw was so near the neck....

Kalvin wrote:Are you sure we shouldn't go after them? I mean this could be serious. Amelia seems genuinely worried about this. I mean sure I'll play music, but think this out a little more.

His paw didn't grab the guitar. It looked like these words made time stop, just like when you press pause during a video. He was thinking about what to say. Sure, it was serious. But should they really follow them? If something happens to Amelia, he wouldn't forgive himself.... Nah, what could possibly happen to her? Especially when she's crazy like this. The only problem is that she could hurt others, and eventually Pyxis, but there's no way Alex would go running around and stopping her from that. Besides, Gary will probably take care of that.
No. - finally came the reply. Better to stay here and make music, just like we planned to do. I was a fool in the first place to invite them over.
With it, he grabbed the guitar, and sat in the nearest chair, giving Lucky a fake non-caring smile.
So... what to play? You decide.

-Meanwhile-
Please stop hurting... - whispered Gary to himself, wiping the blood from his paw. It hurt insanely, and there was no-one in sight who could help him. Unluckily, his cell phone is in his jacket, and his jacket is at Lucky's. The nearest thing around was a house that looked abandoned, and even the house itself was a good 300 feet away from him.

Dylan wrote:Pyxis! Pyxis! Where are you?

yelled the cat. he kept jogging towards her, that voice was most defiantly female. and if it was female and yelling Pyxis' name it was probably Amelia "Oh! Amelia!" he said skidding to a halt in front of her. "Any thing wrong with Pyxis?" he asked worriedly "i mean to say, if he was hurt twice in one day i would feel so stupid" Jesus Pyxis, what the heck did you do? Amelia looks a mess...

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:07 pm

Amelia stared at Octavian, she suddenly yelled, YOU! She grabbed Octavian by the collar and held him up, Yelling into his face, Your the reason why Pyxis got hurt! she started shaking him by the collar, yelling even louder, This is all your fault that Pyxis got hurt! she tossed him to the ground by his neck like a doll, Now I can't find him at all! she started walking towards where she threw Octavian.

Pyxis watched the whole thing, Aw, crap. He rushed to the door and opened it, yelling at Amelia, WAIT STOP! AMELIA, OVER HERE! Waving his arms as much as possible to get her attention. He ran over the tall grass in the front lawn of the house screaming toward Amelia. Don't hurt him, STOP!

Jimmy Jazz · Post by **Jimmy Jazz** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:33 pm

he was suddenly pick up off his feet by Amelia OIH WHAT THE? he thought hanging there

Dylan wrote:Your the reason why Pyxis got hurt! she started shaking him by the collar, yelling even louder, This is all your fault that Pyxis got hurt!

"Whaa-..?" he manged to splutter before she threw him to the ground. he was on all fours coughing in a second he heard her coming after him again "what?... *Cough cough* is effing wrong with you?*" he asked still coughing. he swept at Amelia's legs and then attempted to stand and run away but he only manged a slow limp Crap i haven't dealt with sh** like this since the gang he thought limping towards to bridge only if Sergei where here

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 1:26 am

Octavian made Amelia lose her balance making her fall over onto the ground with a thud. Looking up she cried out, Your not getting that easy! Picking herself, wiped the dirt off her fur, and proceeded to chase Octavian. Amelia noticed that he was limping and was moving slower then she was, she smiled as she quickly caught up with him. She was directly behind him now, Amelia tackled Octavian, landing right on top of him. Lets try this again shall we? grabbing the back of his collar, lifting him over to the side of the bridge.

Amelia, Stop! Pyxis continued running toward Amelia when he suddenly tripped over something. Pyxis gave out a small grunt as he hit the soft soil, What the? looking back to see what he tripped on,Wh-who are you? looking at a pure black cat in the tall grass. Looking back up he gave up the question, Uh, sorry... he apologized. Pyxis stood back up running again towards Amelia, He was on the bridge now shouting to Amelia Hey, Amelia I'm right here! she looked his way, her face seemed to lighten up, Pyxis! She let go of Octavian, and rushed to Pyxis. Pyxis braced for impact as her arms swarmed around him, squeezing the life out of him, she hugged him so hard that he swore he heard a pop. Uh, Amelia...Where is Octavian. She backed away from Pyxis, Huh? Pyxis facepawed, Octavian! My friend! Amelia seemed very confused, and suddenly realized what happened, Octavian! looking back at where she last seen him.

Djinn thought he was being pretty good at going unseen, when all of a sudden this foot came out of nowhere and hit him right in the sensitive bits. Curling up in a fetal position and puckering his lips in response to the pain, he lets out a low pained groan. After a few minutes of deep breathing he continues at a crawl towards the house, hoping the cat who just kicked him in the 'nads won't give him a second thought.
