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!

"You can talk."

Paul looks closely at Princess. He knows what a dinosaur is from befriending I. rex - this one, though, is much smaller and much fluffier. He's not particularly scared of claws and teeth, either. He kneels to eye level to speak with what he assumes is the lead velociraptor. Since she can speak with humans, that will help.

Having a bird will make carrying messages easier, and he's fond of them anyway, so Paul quickly decides which animal he'd like. The cats and dogs are cute, but they aren't where his interest lies. He tilts his head, listening to the chirping and fluttering. Then he smiles and turns to Princess and her pack with a smile.

"What kinds of birds are in there? I can hear them - I'd be happy to care for one, but I'd like to see what's available so I can choose."

The bike with the little feathery creatures riding it was a sight to behold for the young guitarist who was now stopping dead in his tracks to witness the strange occurrence. They were all so cute! Erik couldn't help a beaming smile that was now spreading across his face as he came to greet the talking creature.

"Come make friends? I like making friends. These animals are very adorable. What sort of birds do you have inside the kennels?"

Of course Erik wanted to know because he already had a dog back home so perhaps a bird? The tour would be able to accommodate a new feathered friend surely. Robert wouldn't mind a bird staying with them, would he?

Oh what in the Void is this?

Volt has never seen a little beast like this capable of driving a vehicle. What even are they? Condrocs? Sawgaws? They've never seen anything so colorful and fluffy outside of stuffed animals. They watch from a nearby rooftop, unblinking optics tracking the raptors' movements as they bustle around to set up some kind of menagerie. Is this a new conservation outpost?

The puppy catches their attention the most. It's like a kubrow, but... not. Fluffier? The nose is also different, like a little button. It's bizarre but cute.

They smoothly drop down to street level, hoof-like feet landing quietly on the pavement. Their hands are empty and open as they approach, attention drawn by the approach of one very pink fluffball. They're not expecting that fluffball to talk, and their step pauses in surprised delight. Adorable! They nod in response, raising a hand to wave hello.

The Monster got called.

[melove_cookies]

"Friends? Me love making friends! Cookie friendly monster. What dis?"

The blue fuzzy monster now staring at the bike with the strange pink creature with his large googly eyes. They looked friendly enough and Cookie always liked making friends with new people in the Nexus. Big Bird always said friends were good.

"What in deh boxes?"

Cookie was now peeking into the kennels wondering what was inside. Cookies? No, it didn't smell like cookies at all. Animals were inside!

Aal's ears go up and shift to furred pointed ones at the sound. A small smile grows on her face at the sight of a least one semi-familiar face. As she does her best to rock her restless son. Who also perks up curious at the sight.

Her mouth opens half intrigued at the kennels, two sets of eyes open wider at the sight of the Puppy. Well...It wouldn't hurt to at least say hello..And find out more information. Not sure what sort of critters might get along with them let alone like/tolerate the scent/smell of em.

She softly, slowly pads over, "Well, Ello there." She murmurs warmly. As Gawain babbles and coos curiously. Before reaching towards the feathers to try and pet them.

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...

because I had to

Indominus opts not to show herself for a little while, keeping herself a fair distance away with camouflage and infrared shielding covering her. Scent may still give her away to raptors' noses, but she's not in an aggressive mood. Just curious.

The first sounds that come from her are twittering noises in clear imitation of the smaller griffins. She sometimes talks to baby birds the same way, in the Wilds, though what she's actually saying to them she can't be sure. Not quite the same language.

Eventually she uncloaks and creeps closer, oddly shy. Princess is, after all, extended pack, but she doesn't really know her, save by sight and reputation.

"Friends?" Rex's default language is probably close enough to the Indoraptor's to be easily understood. She won't bother with translation unless the raptors seem to need it.

Despite the spelling on the sign, Isamu was intrigued by what appeared to be a team of raptors setting up an Animal Shelter adoption event.

He’d thought about getting a pet on multiple occasions after arriving in the Nexus. Perhaps a pokemon or maybe a catwing. But he’d yet to find an animal that really suited him. Minoru, of course, already had Kazumi, his butter ball python. The snake was a fixture in the apartment, and his brother’s pride and joy. (Heck, he even organized playdates with other snakes!)

“Come make a friend, hm?” He repeated, looking out over the various kennels. There was no harm in exploring the available options. “What sorts of friends do you have?”

[starfreckles]

"I'm always up for making friends!"

They aren't sure who or what these cute little things are just yet, but oh they do seem so sweet, not only that, at least one talks!

The drow kneels and holds a hand out to the small raptor who spoke. "My name is Tarach'and. You can call me Tar though. It's nice to me you."

[thedemononyourshoulder]

"Well, what'cha got here?"

The half-demon perused the kennels, almost as though she was looking for something a bit more... specific. The cute and appealing critters didn't do much for her at all. She wanted to find something closer to herself, the reject, the outcast. Hand on her hip, she let out a sigh, glancing towards the raptors.

"Got anything that isn't so damn cute?"

[sharktoothtotem]

Taylor had been sketching the fountain when they showed up, and watched from her perch. Though seeing the sign she giggled. Though the animals, okay... So her guardian had never let her have pets, which was why she had helped at the lagoon, it had allowed her to be around animals. Ones from the sea she could get, land... well she wasn't sure what to do about land animals. The others back home all had birds.

Slipping her journal into her pocket she decided to go take a peek. If nothing else might be interesting.
