Night 49: Pet Supply Place

[bprd-fishman.livejournal.com]

[From here.]

And this was not the Sun Room. Or any room at Landel's that he'd seen. The odd twisting feeling made Abe's hand slip from the door handle against his will and it slammed shut, leaving him in a far more cramped room that smelled faintly of animal food and wood shavings. "What in the world?" he whispered as he reached for his flashlight.

It looked like some kind of storeroom or shop, with a counter and things sitting on shelves. A bag at Abe's feet was labeled as kitty litter (a substance that Abe was, unfortunately, fairly familiar with)

Tobias still held on his arm, Abe crept forward into the new place. "I don't suppose this is familiar to you?" he asked, holding his arm out slightly as if to give the hawk a better view. Doors that went to more than one place weren't unfamiliar to him, but he hadn't done anything unusual this time. Save carrying a bird, but the bird hadn't seemed to expect a change either.

Raine had no luck on the weapon-finding front, but they had an entire store to look over and she wasn't about to get discouraged. She grabbed a plastic bag and went to look at what the store had in stock; actual weapons were unlikely, but she was very, very used to improvising.

The grooming parlor was definitely promising; Raine grabbed all the scissors she could find, since they were likely the only blades this place would have. Other than that, she couldn't find anything useful; hairbrushes weren't generally good as weapons. She tried the aisles of the store next, and the first thing she found was leashes; she considered, then took the longest and thickest ones, figuring they would be good for something. Whips, belts, something to that affect.

Unfortunately, a pet store wasn't the greatest place to arm oneself; because there was little doubt the clinic would be locked, for the moment she just looked through the store in search of potentially useful items. Hmm, some of the containers looked useful, for when she got her next batch of Gel made...

"...okay, I believe you." If only because Sheena could sense the youkai's feelings and there was no amusement coming off of her. "This is weird."

And then Raine went off to raid. The ninja stared at her for a long moment before she figured out what Raine had picked up. Leashes. "You planning on getting some gifts for Colette or something, Raine?"

Though the leashes did indicate where in Doyleton they were. Eyes going wide, Sheena darted to a window and started peering out it. "...there better not be zombies." Maybe there was a little waver to her voice. Maybe.

Amusement, however, was starting to come back in full force. So, was Landel fooling around with the boundaries within his own institute? Now this was a game Yukari knew well. First, however, they might as well take a look around before giving the roulette of doors another spin.

"Oh? Is she into that sort of thing?" the youkai teased in reply to the ninja's comment as she surreptitiously threw a cute little black leather collar and matching leash into a convenient gap - oh, she was sure she'd find a use for them at some point. When Sheena's guard was down, most likely.

The idea of leftovers from last week was far less appealing a thought though. Well, she couldn't hearing the moaning masses, but maybe the rain was covering their approach. Alternately, the rain could be beating them to rotten sludge that couldn't harm anyone except maybe the local ecology.

"Especially not pet zombies... or horse zombies..." she added lightly. The youkai frowned though when she thought she heard... no, it was probably her imagination.

"I'm not the most proficient with whips, but they should work as weapons or restraints." Raine was as focused as ever, so it took her a moment to get Yukari's comment; she twitched a little but said nothing.

The rest of the store had some potential, but it was the veterinary clinic that she was really focused on. After a fairly brief sweep of the rest of the store, she tried the clinic door only to find it locked. "Sheena, could you get this open?"

Sheena, on the other hand, caught the youkai's innuendo immediately. Her eyes went wide and she looked at Yukari as if the youkai was crazy. This was Colette they were talking about.

"Yukari! Pervert," she grumbled before turning to the door Raine indicated. Anything to get them off of the idea of Colette and bondage. ANYTHING.

"Okay," she said, readying herself a moment before kicking the door open with an explosive roundhouse kick.
