--urge!!
[There's a squeaky voice before the video comes on, shaking violently as if someone is running with the device. You can see flashes of floor five of the communal housing-- beds and random items flashing by, with the occasional blue fur in the shot.]
Demiurge!
[Then there's finally a shot of Billy's face, dubious for a moment as he looks down over the side of his bed, book propped on his chest.]
Ugh-- what? I thought I told you to shoo--
Demiurge!
[That's when realization seems to sink in, Billy's eyes going almost instantly wide. It's a mixture of surprise and annoyance that sends him darting off his bed, book flying-- and that's when the camera goes shaky again as whatever's holding it seems to start running again.]
Hey! What the hell-- give that back!
[There's more jostling and another, this time more surprised, 'Demiurge!' before the phone finally drops and the screen goes mercifully dark for a moment. There's still a bit more rustling around to be heard though, before Billy finally reappears some time later, with a squirmy blue creature tucked safely under his arm and looking just a bit disheveled, and more than a little exasperated.]
Sorry to... whatever you guys just had to see. This-- [creature he might have made in another dimension, oops. No, he is not saying that--] thing just showed up and followed me back home. It also won't leave, and I guess it thought stealing my phone was a sure way to get attention...
[And let's be fair, it did sort of work.]
Anyway, I'll make sure it won't happen again...
Demiurge!
[If you look closely, Billy might just be clenching his jaw tighter at that noise.]
I told you to stop saying that...
[Not that the creature seems to listen... or, you know, stop with the squirming until it feels like it's held properly-- and can get it's arms up around Billy's neck to hold on. It seems to make it happy enough at least since it starts to let out something akin to purring. There's a frustrated groan and an eye roll.]
Does anyone have any tips? I don't really do pets... but I guess I'm sort of responsible for this thing until I figure out if the shelters or anywhere else will take it.
[Oh, he's responsible in so many senses of that word...
Which means he's probably stuck with it permanently. Great.]

Video @the.boneless
[Yep, Ivar's going to ask the important questions.]
Video
[Or they're naturally full of exuberance for life. Whichever.]
You know, that's a good question. It seems all around just here for the cute and phone snatching, not to be actually useful.
Re: Video
All the better time to train it. When they're young, they don't have any bad habits.
Ivar's been patiently working with his fire horse to get it less skittish and shy. It was a work in progress.]
Teach it to say something interesting. That way it can tell people to fuck off for you when you don't want to bother with them.
Video
[Okay-- that actually gets him to laugh.]
You know-- that's not a bad idea. Why didn't I think of it?
no subject
[Which was good for everyone's flammable objects on the floor. Ivar's bed now had permanent scorch marks around it. He grins at Billy.]
I have nothing but good ideas. Let him loose on the floor so he can be socialized with the rest of the animals.
[They're starting to form quite a collection.]
no subject
[He can't imagine many people being charmed by their items being lit on fire, actually...]
You know we're going to become the crazy pet-people floor, right?
no subject
We only have about three pets right now. And I doubt Tony would be responsible enough to remember to feed one.
no subject
[Well in his opinion, anyway... He makes a face.]
You're right. Unless it was somehow robotic or something, I doubt he'd be too interested in it...
no subject
[He just has to get Skinfaxi used to the harness so he doesn't burn it up first.]
Don't put the idea in his head. He might actually make a robot pet.
no subject
[He gives a small grin.]
You're right. We don't need to add a fourth pet, let alone one that might have lasers or something crazy hidden on it somewhere.
no subject
[Imagine the Viking bearing down on someone at top speed, screaming out war cries, with an axe in hand, and multiply that by a horse on fire. The sight would strike fear into anything.]
I feel like we'll get a fourth one eventually. Something's with eight legs and six ears is just going to follow someone home again.
[The most normal pet is Strange's. At least until it evolves.]
no subject
[A firehorse sort of trumps goats, right?]
I guess it's too much to ask for like-- a cat or a gold fish, right? At least it gives our floor character, I suppose.
no subject
[But he does like that idea. Just look at the smile on his face.]
None of us are going to have a boring pet because none of us are that boring.
no subject
You're right. We've got to be at least one of the most interesting floors here.
[Or, you know, craziest.
But details.]
no subject
[Ivar knows odd. He's lived with it most of his life. (Don't ask about how close he and his brothers are. It's...strange.) But the fifth floor here gives even his world a run for its money.]
no subject
[Crazy. Their floor is probably known as the crazy floor, he's sure... even more now with all the bizarre pets showing up.]
