First Patrol

[slightly_knurd]

[lying partially in the gutter, deep in the Underground of the city, rests a man in strange armor and chainmail, clutching a blue blanket patterned with little yellow ducks, his helmet over his eyes, not yet stirring, but mumbling under his breath

[trots by having left the flat to avoid the bones of the couch and Daddy and Grandpapa being snitty at each other]]

You have a cow?

[slightly_knurd]

[shuts his eyes again, drawing the blanket tighter around his shoulders, not quite awake yet and unaware of who...or what...is talking, shifting so that he's sitting up against the side of a building]

...Tell Willikins to put some tea on, if he's not done it already.

[wee_hellpuppy]

Um... who's Willikins?

[slightly_knurd]

[pause]

....

[opens his eyes, peering with confusion at Pup]

...Dogs shouldn't talk.

[theenviousone]

[stops and stares at the man lying on the ground]

Someone's been drinking a bit too much, hmm?

[slightly_knurd]

[mumbles back, capable of keeping up conversation, though provided it doesn't go along an intelligent train of thought]

Not drinking...not drinking. Wish I was.

[theenviousone]

[crouches down next to him and prods him in the shoulder]

It's really not a good idea to be out here after the dark. The City's not the safest place in the world...worlds...whatever.

[slightly_knurd]

[horrible glower to Envy at prodding him, but at the moment has too much of a headache to bother about it, waking up]

You think I don't know that? It's about as far from 'safe' as you could possibly... [sitting up, glaring back to Envy]

You, I don't think I've seen. New here, are you?

[not_mukuro_rly]

There aren't any that I've seen.

[slightly_knurd]

[hazily] There wouldn't be...not here. Cows in a city go sizzle. What the devil's that about?

[not_mukuro_rly]

[ slooow blinks ]

So, you're looking for your steak?

[slightly_knurd]

[grimaces, slowly coming into the reality of things]

Could certainly go for some right about now...

[sister1bear]

[She's exploring the City. Doesn't like being in the Underground already so she was about to leave when she spots the man. Runs over and crouches down.]

Are you alright?

[slightly_knurd]

[mutters darkly, the blanket over his head] Is that my cow? It goes baa, it is a sheep. No, that's not my cow.

[sister1bear]

[Looks worried.]

...Cow?

Did you hit your head?

[slightly_knurd]

[softer] Cow...

[suddenly, rips the blanket off his face, turning to glare up at the sky] What...time is it.

[buriedinsands]

[Just a little bug, idly fluttering by~]

[slightly_knurd]

[raises his eyebrows suspiciously, but doesn't say much against it]
