[05] [Video/In Person for Violet]

[k9tantei]

[Heiji is outside, still in his work uniform – he’s just gotten out of the restaurant, and looks distinctly unimpressed – it’s not his fault the cook doesn’t know what he’s doing. :| ]

[That’s not what this is about, however.]

So…Anybody noticed these? [He turns the camera toward a pair of Murkrow that’ve followed him out of the restaurant…just … watching.] There was only a few around this mornin’, and there’s at least five or six more hangin’ around since then, not countin’ these guys.

[They’re actually being pretty expectant and tailing pretty close.]

…..Do I look like I’ve got any food on me? I’m not stupid, I saw you two playin’ this scam on that kid that came out with th’leftovers – even if I did have food, hangin’ around lookin’ creepy hopin’ I’ll spook an’give it to you wouldn’t work!

[The two stares turn very sullen at that.]

[AND THEN THERE’S A STORM OF BARKING as Baskerville bowls into the duo spitting sparks and raising a racket.]

Whoah whaoh – Bas – get – [Facepalm, get.] SMOG, TRY’N COVER YOURSELF – Ember – [What’s going on is probably less a battle and more a mildly embarrassing cartoon dustball, especially once the smog cloud goes up.] Roar, get some space – Ember – [As much as it’s coming from what’s still basically an admittedly big puppy, the snarling bark at least gets the second one deciding it’s time to leave, and the smoke clears on a significantly battered and growling Houndour with the lead Murkrow cornered and singed.]

[As much as there’s some unintelligible muttering, there is a pokéball tossed at it before the fiasco gets any further – although before he can retrieve it, there’s a white glow over the area…]

[And once it settles, there isn’t exactly a tiny puppy there anymore.]



[There’s a couple stupid blinks from Heiji, who’s holding the gear loosely, as Bas picks up the pokéball and carries it over to him – granting that Baskerville is now the size of a pony.]

Damn. Congrats - I guess you live up t’your name a bit more now. [He retrieves the now-caught Murkrow’s pokéball from Bas with a scratch behind the horns, and then remembers that yes, the Gear is still recording.]

So yeah – uh – are they doin’ this anywhere else? An’if they are, anybody got a clue why they’re suddenly movin’ into the cities?

_{[Oh, she does. She DOES. So her answer is blunt.]}

Anything shiny.

Anything.

Look.

_{[The camera swivels-- ... and then is immediately attacked by something black and blue-eyed. Because the screen is lit up and pretty.]}

...... []

Great. So now I've got two kleptos t'chase.

[] Gonna guess that's not why they're all here, since there hasn't been a rash of thefts past what you'd expect, an' Momo hasn't gotten mugged when he's out filchin' shiny things.

[foolishwren]

Preeeeeetty much.

But no, I guess they're like... I dunno. Migrating or something. I don't remember if there were as many around at this time last year.

[Video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Kinda funny migration. []

I guess we'll know when somethin' happens if it's gonna be trouble... [] Can't say Bas bein' this keyed up is helpin' my peace of mind any, but gettin' worked up before there's any sign of what might be goin' on doesn't help any, an' maybe it will just be some kind of migration. []

I don't know much about birds to begin with... _{[Which was funny since she OWNED a few, but to be fair, the second had been a surprise gift.]}

Bein' honest? I don't know that much about'em either that I didn't pick up in class; most of my experience with animals is bein' around police dogs an' hearin' stories from some of the officers that deal with animal control.

But there's plenty of chances t'learn here, eh?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Considering this place kind of REVOLVES around the animals, I'd say yes.

[Video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha - yeah, you've definitely got a point there. At least a lot of'em seem to be pretty intelligent. [] ...Even if it's not all of'em.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, they have more personality than I initially gave animals credit for, that's for sure.

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

I'd expected some from dealin' with police dogs; 's not hard t'miss that they've got a mind of their own -

...Gettin' th'gear hijacked an' catchin' them havin' conversations over it wasn't somethin' I expected. []

[Video]

[foolishwren]

.... Dude, they do that?

_{[She knew Zilla liked carrying the 'Gear around and filming things, and that sometimes Cujo barked at the screen like an idiot, but...]}

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Not too long ago, Victor was under th'bed with it - certainly sounded like a pretty involved conversation, an' after that, he just ... stopped tryin' t'kill me. []

An' Yuki - ...If y'get a psychic type? It sorta changes how y'look at'em. She's th'one that's usually turnin' the gear on recording things.

[]

[foolishwren]

... That's... a little creepy, I won't lie...

[Video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't a little freaked out the first time Yuki started puttin' images in my head tryin' to communicate clearer. []

But... we've trusted'em far enough so far, eh?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah... I guess it's impossible to ever really get used to this place, is all...
