[ Accidental Voice. ]

[laviru]

[ Audible snarling and growling is heard, obviously threatening noises-- and in the background, a tiny, frightened, sobbing voice.]

G-good kitty.. Stay over ther--Ah! No, no, over there! No, s-- Eek!

Oh, ohh... I d-d-don't want to be eaten.. [ Whines softly.] Oh, please don't eat me.. C.. Come on, k-kitty, just g-g-go outside and.. and eat

... Aki? Need help?

[laviru]

.. Cy? [ A pause-- then, some scuffling noises, a snarl, and then-- silence.]

Cy, there's a fucking TIGER in my room.

IN. MY. ROOM. It's not a ghost anymore, and it's angry and I don't know what to do..

Should I.. should I kill it? I don't know.. what if it just heals, like we do? What do I do then? What if it can kill me?

[ It's obvious Akito is panicking-- his voice is hurried and his breath is panting, on the verge of hyperventilating-- his words seemed to be jumbled all together in one big sentence, as if he couldn't speak fast enough.]

A TIGER?

Jesus fucking christ... okay, I'm coming up there. Just stay still, and don't make any sudden moves. Whatever you do, don't RUN. If you do, it'll chase you. Just try not to attract its interest.

Calm down, and I want you to count. Count to two-hundred, okay? I'll be there before you reach it.

Action

[songofthedeep]

[finds his spear and his knife, shifts to legs, yanks on pants, and runs for Akito's house, dodging dangerous animals that make lunges at him on the way, kicking some of the smaller ones and simply hurdling the herbivorous, slow-moving ones... manages to make it to Akito's door and bursts inside without knocking. Remembers that the tiger is in Akito's room and carefully turns the knob, peeking inside.]

Aki?

[lil_miss_otaku]

Oh...are you okay, Akito-san? Did it hurt you?

[laviru]

It's okay, Konata. I'm fine now..

Thanks for the concern-- you're not having any animal trouble, are you?

[lil_miss_otaku]

Last night, I got a rude awakening from an elephant. That's about it.

[laviru]

An elephant? Wow..

Now that you mention it, I do think I heard one last night.
