[What did Mrs. Brisby do today, one may ask. Usually there is no answer, as she does perfectly fine keeping to herself.

Not today. She shifts a bit uncomfortably, fidgeting. It's clear enough, at least, that she is incredibly uncomfortable.]

Can... someone explain what a "pet store" is to me? Or... explain what a "pet" really is.

I don't

[I-is that a talking mouse? Well, um. Surprise side, there's a question to be answered. Even so, her words are a little slow as she considers the fact that she's apparently addressing a tiny mouse lady.]

Um, a pet store is where you buy pets. They're domesticated animals you take care of and befriend.

And keep in a cage?

[She's not mad or upset if her tone is any indication but she is very shaken and uncomfortable.]

[wifedom]

Well, not usually. Depending on the animal, they're usually left out to roam once someone takes them in. Keeping them in cages is to make sure they don't run off.

[Though, from an animal's point of view . . . ]

That just seems... strange to me.

Not to be rude, but... it seems a little... arrogant? Or, rather, superior.

[Would ya look at that! It's a talking mouse...Rhode wants a talking animals as a pet]

A pet store is a place where animals are sold. Most of these animals are kept as pets. Many people buy them to stop loneliness or make a friend.

[Mrs. Brisby will have none of that ):]

There's not an awful lot of choice on the animal's behalf, I suppose?

{Awww! No fair! She wants a pet who can talk. >:c]

No, they don't really have a choice. Though, most pets are well-taken care of and loved.

[She's busy being a single mom who is currently without her children give her a break]

...It just... seems strange to me.

...it is apparently a store where humans buy animals for companionship.

[ He does not sound thrilled about this. ]

[courageofheart]

The animals in there... they're different.

[More than anything, that's completely shaken Mrs. Brisby to her core.]

[singularjustice]

For you? I haven't been in the pet store myself, but you seem to be a very special animal.

[courageofheart]

But that's... I really am not. Not at home, at least. The only thing special about me was my husband and my whole situation.

[courageofheart]

Oh, you're that young man from a while ago.

[Subject change, if temporary, is welcome for Mrs. Brisby.]

I'm sorry, did I never introduce myself? My name is Mrs. Brisby.

[courageofheart]

[She giggles.]

Ah hah hah, you fell asleep before I could ask, I think.

John, hmm? That used to be my husband's nickname.

[rarestone]

It... seems like a place where you purchase pets? It's much different, compared to back home.

[courageofheart]

So it's not something that exists in your world?

[rarestone]

Not at all. We don't purchase pets, but we catch Pokemon, which are kind of like pets, but they're also our friends.

[courageofheart]

I see... I suppose. What exactly is a pokemon?
