Royal Rescue Adoptions

[royalraptor]

The Plaza was quiet.

Was, being the operative word, as the putputput of tiny motorcycle engines preceded the sight of said little bikes being ridden by a small cadre of fluffy, feathery raptors. Most of the motorcycles were hauling wagons, each bearing a load of some manner of animal kennel, and they stopped their little caravan near the fountain. All five raptors hopped from their rides and scurried to work- undoing covers so the little kennels they'd towed were visible, Princess and Clementine busily hanging a sign on the edge of the fountain.

'Roial Rezku Adoptonz'

And sure enough each kennel had different animals inside- the sounds of cats out of one, another full of chirping and fluttering. Another few were quiet, but suddenly the largest kennel had a puppy sitting atop it, a colorful bow on it's collar, tail wagging enthusiastically.

Princess gave the pup an uncertain look but... well it was staying around them, and how could they stop it anyways? So she just left the others to making sure the animals all had their food and water while she waddled towards the nearest person with an excited little 'wook'

"Come see? Come make friends?" That was how adoption worked right? People fell wildly in love with a new friend and took them home! She was So Good at this!

Princess is a familiar face to Cricket, though one he sees less often than he'd like. Somehow, the chickens have never caught on to her visits to their coop, or else they just don't care; she's a fun little vivid pink surprise when she does stop by. He sure as hell didn't know she could drive a motorbike, though, and he stands back to watch for few minutes with a bemused grin.

"Mornin', ladies," he greets when he eventually comes over. "Ain't like I'm in need of more animals to live with, but I reckon I could care for another one or two if they'll get on with the cows and chickens and Pokemon."

Could be a fun surprise for Loki, whenever he comes back from his trip...hopefully soon...

They don't mind their weird cousin visiting, clearly.

"Cricket!" Princess chirped happily, doing a circle around him and gently bonking his calf with her head by greeting. "No need but more friends good!" By her estimate anyways. And if she would trust anyone with her charges, Cricket was atop the list.

Cricket has to lean on his cane a little for balance, since his knees don't bend in the braces, but he is happy to bend down and gently ruffle her neck feathers. "Exactly," he agrees, grinning.

"Besides, if you're recommendin' 'em to me, I best take your advice. Are there cats? Thought I heard a meow a minute ago."

He's game for any kind of animal, of course, but he did have a cat when he was a kid. It'd be nice to adopt another.

Luckily it's not too hard- Princess meets him halfway by stretching up onto her tippy toes, churring happily.

"Cats! Yes yes, come!" The little raptor pepped up, happily leading the way towards one of the kennels where there was indeed meowing coming from, all soft and dozy. Inside, there was a small pile of rather... long cats most of them black or tortie-colored snuggled in to nap, one with longer, white fur blinking sleepily at the pair, first the blue eye then the green.

These are not quite the kind of cats he expected, and for a moment his eyes widen. He goes from startled to charmed real quick, though, and levers himself down to sit on the ground on one hip, legs out to the side. "Holy shit...when these cats make biscuits I reckon they mean business."

He loves them.

The white one is looking at him, and so he looks back, makes a soft chirp noise, and slow-blinks at them. "Mornin', angel. How d'you feel about chickens?"
