Housepets!

you all do your own interview with sgt. errr Ranger Friday..

Teehee I imagine Sandy saying that "OK, Cinnamon" with the hugest like it's something that Cinnamon does regularly or is always pestering him about.


On another note, since I've already mentioned that Flynn lives in a big old house, do you reckon it woud be too cliche to have a few secret passages/compartments/rooms? Or maybe a minor haunting?

I expect the Waltons are going to get on Kousa's last nerve in short order, too.

PS: @LovingCorgi - you can take Officer Friday's dialog too, he's Keeshah's character and has been released for general role-play.

It would take way to long to RP out the interview If we had to do all the back a n forth required.
Each pets interview can be done in one or two posts with that person doing both sides of the questioning.

That's what I figured.

Zanna and Tesla can do their own medical schtick with the Waltons too, or I'll wear my own fingers out.

yea I figured that but at that moment I didn't know what to say and I was short on time.

So I can control Samantha for a bit?

Yep, once you quit spluttering. ^^

Samantha Walton doesn't consider animals cute little people, or kids, or anything like that. They're animals, she likes them, she's a vet after all, but she takes no nosense and expects them to do what they're told when they're told to do it. Cinnamon is quite a trial.

Doc... did I call him Paul... Doc Walton is more of the "animals are like kids" school, but still doesn't take them seriously.

Lysander, "Sandy", is more like Doc, but Cinnamon is still more a useful if quirky tool than a little brother.

None of them are likely to take animals seriously. They know they know better.

Kandi is a large/food animal specialist. She is alot like Samantha, Animals are animals an should be treated like that.

Eek! Sorry I haven't been watching as closely as I should: been busy.

Is that canon in "pet friendly" states and areas? That's not universally the law even in decidedly pet-unfriendly universes like ours: pets can be removed from abusive owners, and abusive owners can be fined or otherwise sanctioned.

I'm gonna say no, because euthanizing a character is a bit too dark for Pet Friendly. Tread lightly on the killing guys... lol

The Porters have already offered a solution to this. They're just waiting for the vets/Koa's owner to sort it out.

He hasn't mentioned any names at all so we don't think he's broken any confidentiality rules, but he told me that he couldn't help but overhear you discussing the poor creature's plight. He assures me that he didn't mean to eavesdrop, but, you know, rabbits have big ears and they hear a lot... Anyways, he and I were wondering, if it was OK with you, the animal and his owner if we could take him off his owner's hands? It definitely sounds like he needs a better place and a higher level of care than what that guy has been giving him, and we have plenty of room, plus my husband John and I mainly work from home so he'll always have any company and care he needs."

That exchange is on pages 58/59 of the IC thread.

Also, the vet doesn't legally HAVE to put him down unless the owner explicitly states that that's what he wants (which I think he might have done). And even then, I think there *might* be loopholes which can be exploited to get out of it since this is a specal case. I'm not sure how it works in America, but here in Australia the RSPCA does have the legal authority to seize an animal which hasn't been receiving proper care, provide it with veterinary care and then rehome it. The vets can also report things to the RSPCA who will usually act pretty quickly, since they're normally on very good terms with the vets.

Flynn has a room _and_ a hutch? I'm confused.

Well Sasha presumably has the same but with a kennel. Either that or she has 2 kennels. What's the difference? Besides, hutches are a little cramped for fitting a lot of stuff in.
I think Flynn probably sleeps in his hutch but keeps most of his gear in his room.

new person here with character wanting to join Richmond Acres, link to character sheet is here http://housepetscomic.com/forums/viewto ... 27#p439327

lol another shy dog like me

lol that is due to how his owner is

Well, he seems alright. Hop on in. Oh, also, I'm still trying to be more active...

woot thanks

Could I possibly join Richmond Acres, or is it too late?

My 2 main character sheets

Name: Pyre Flynn

Character Type: Main

Species: Singapura (Cat)

Age: 16 In pet years

Appearance: He's shorter than most cats. Pyre has black fur with ice blue eyes, and blue stripes on his back. The stripes on his back form an "x". He has a scar right below his right eye. He has a red collar with a Dream Eater symbol hanging from it.

Personality: He is a shy person and doesn't care what you do as long as it doesn't involve hurting anyone. He can usually figure out puzzles in under a minute. He's always around Ryze. He's very protective of his friends. When Pyre's excited about something, he won't shut up about it for a week.

Other Notes: The Dream Eater symbol on his collar changes colors with his mood. His previous owner was abusive to both Pyre and Ryze, but mainly to Pyre. He got his scar because his owner threw a knife at him and it cut under his eye. So, they both ran away and they found a new owner.

SPECIAL:
Strength:5
Perception:5
Endurance:6
Charisma:5
Intelligence:9
Agility:6
Luck:6

Name: Ryze Flynn

Species: Egyptian Mau

Age: 15 in pet years

Appearance: She has gray fur with black spots everywhere except on her back, where there are red stripes. Her right eye is yellow, the left is green. She has a white spot around her left eye. Her collar is blue with a Pokeball attached to it.

Personality: She is basically the opposite of Pyre. She is outgoing and can make friends easily. She is always hanging around Pyre. She can find items easily and can remember where they are for a couple days after she had found them. Like Pyre she is very protective of her friends.

Other Notes: The Pokeball on her collar has a stuffed Absol inside it. She was the one who decided to run away from their previous owner after Pyre got his scar, and she also found Mr. and Mrs. Flynn

SPECIAL:
Strength:4
Perception:9
Endurance:4
Charisma:8
Intelligence:7
Agility:5
Luck:5

Aaaaack! So many people trying to join! They look good, but I want everyone else's thoughts. Also I need to update the roster, so raise a hand if you're still active.

hands? Raises paw "active."

Hyperactive!

Radio..active?

...active? Am I able to post?

Probably. I'm still waiting on everyone's opinions

I'd like more of a description and maybe some background, apparently Singapura is a very small breed of cat, so is Pyre small for a cat, even rabbit-sized?

I feel as though, with the handful of NPC's -- or, more appropriately, secondary human characters, I'll probably end up raising the stakes over the exceeded limit. With that said, the officer that I just introduced (since I kind of just noticed Friday's presence after I made my post) will hardly be mentioned. He'll only be referred back when my character will have to be driven to the station for her duties, and all that good stuff.

But, really, it's so that I may find a point to have her not interact with anybody else, since there may be times when I'll be asked to back away from the RP for a temporary, fixed amount of time.

Anyway, for now, count me as active. I'm just being cautious about it, but there's no promises on my end. I'll let you know in advance, Esper. ^_^

Hey sunauto, I dunno where you're going, but Mercuty is a loose end you could tie up if you want

Mercuty? I wasn't sure if any pets were out of the vet so I was posting what would of gone on as they were moving to see if anyone would walk by or something

*Raises both paws* Definitely active.

Hyper: I like your characters. As long as Esper is happy, I'm happy too.

sunauto: Travis is on the way to the police station, I'm not entirely sure where Mercury is (at home I think), Moonbeam, Cinnamon, Tesla, Koa, Kousa, and Zanna are all at the vets, and Flynn is at home, although he'll probably be heading out again soon.

Oh yes. Mercury, um.. So yeah

well first off, knowing who mercury is and where they are would help this one

Active just trying to think of something to post

sunauto wrote:well first off, knowing who mercury is and where they are would help this one

Oh, whops. He's the silver cat that I control. He wandering around right now

oh sure have him come visit lol

Esper, are you happy?

I think Hyper's character is nice

Thank you!

I don't have a problem with hyper's characters as long as poses are good

Two things:
1.) What sort of a town history/house plan should Flynn find?
2.) Did that map mentioned in the first OC post ever get posted?

Also, that librarian won't be a character. She's just there to facilitate Flynn's visit to the library.
