+1 "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me"

So! This wasn't actually what he was expecting, when he opened the kitchen door today. He had an excellent venison burger sitting in the fridge, practically calling his name, but he opened the door to the Hotel kitchen, wouldn't you know it-

A completely alternate dimension. Well isn't that just a fine how do you do?

Now if he were a demon of more basic desires and concrete obvious goals, he'd have shut that door and kept trying it until he got his goddamn burger.

Clearly, though, that wasn't what happened.

Tall, that's what he was, way too tall to not stand out, all limbs and pointed fingers and jagged dagger smile, gleeful as he wandered about the plaza and no doubt scaring the children, if there happened to be any unfortunate enough to be there. Nosy thing too, deer-like ears swiveling this way and that to eavesdrop on any possible conversation in the immediate area.

And when he opened his mouth, the hiss and crackle of an old radio came out with a pop, that voice tinny, gleeful and disquieting.

"Good evenin' folks, fantastic night out, isn't it?

Now, I went about readin' your how to's and what do's and where go's and how so's, but I still got a question for you fine, lovely folks out there.

How many of you beautiful surface citizens came from somewhere a little further south? Don't be shy now, step right up."

The Indoraptor has never tried flirting, partly because he's never encountered creatures like him in the world and his instincts are really his only way of handling such a situation. The one female dinosaur he encountered was more interested in fighting than flirting, and he was much the same way. He was too enraged to think of much more than killing and punishment.

What's her name, if I can ask?

"Dakota! Sweet girl, real friendly. Little fluffier than you are. Don't make feather duster jokes, some poor yuntz found that one out the hard way at the bar haha!

Aaah.... She ate him alive."

The Indoraptor doesn't eat humans, not anymore, but he won't necessarily judge dinosaurs who do. It took a great deal of introspection and discipline for him to control his own instincts enough to lose any interest in human flesh.

I'll keep that in mind. He bends, exposing his own featherlike quills. He doesn't know it, but if his DNA hadn't been tampered with, and his Velociraptor genome was not watered down with modern lizard and amphibian DNA, he'd have a feathery coat of his own.

"Well would you look at that! I think you'll get along like two peas in a pod, Indy. Just a regular Bonnie and Clyde."

[hybriddino]

The Indoraptor gives a quiet churr. I'm sure we will. Who are Bonnie and Clyde? People you know? He isn't very familiar with human history yet - biologically, he's only a couple of years old, and most of that was spent in a cage.

"No, but boy did I report on 'em, Indy! Hey, you should look 'em up sometime! If you're gonna go around talkin' and hangin' out with everyone here, may as well get to know where they're from, right?

It'll be fun!"
