video; timed to after the polar bear club "incident"

[She's still on the beach, soaking wet and more than a little freezing, but she's a bit preoccupied]

Missing a roommate or two? Maybe you've noticed your neighbor has yet to grace you with their presence. Don't worry, they're...alive.

[Jane moves her camera over the menagerie of animals gathered on the beach]

I suppose now is the time to test how well you know your fellow ImPorts. We'll try and round up their furry asses before someone calls Animal Control.

Dibs on the kitties! [what. just until they can figure out a way to fix it. they'll need therapeutic snuggling.]

[There's a lot of sighing and nose pinching]

You can't keep them. They're still, you know, people inside.

I think...

I know that! But you've still got to keep them somewhere until you can fix it, right? [come on just let her cuddle the kitties please please pleeease]

...

Okay, look, if we need more room I'll contact you. Nepeta? Where are you living?

Yesss. I'm living with my furiends at [trollhaus location because fuck if I remember]. And I've already got purrlenty of kitties so you don't have to worry about my not having anything to take care of them with.

[yeeeeee this is gonna be great]

[Why does she think she's setting these poor ImPorts up for something horrible?]

I don't think we actually have kittens here, but there is a tiger.

A kitty's a kitty, whefur or not you're supposed to keep it as a pet. They've got a lot more similarities than you'd think! [she nods firmly]

Right. Felines are all yours the--

You know a lot about cats then?

I better, I was raised by one!

[She's not going to think about that statement, okay]

Do they need shots like dogs? I have a kitten and now that I'm thinking of the trouble Animal Control can make, I'm hoping I don't need papers for the little beast.

I've nefur given any of my kitties shots befur, but I don't think it would be a bad idea if you can get them? Cats are so diffurcult to take care of when they get sick.

Right. Okay. I'll write that down and do something about Quinn when the only animals in the city are actual animals.

Good idea! Is there anything else you're curious about or are you all set on the kitty front now?

[Quinn is an adorable cat name fyi Nepeta approves]

[Jane just sighs and nods]

Yeah, kittens and feline things are all set.

No backing out if we need you to take in one of these furry beasts.

No way! I'd nefur do something mean like breaking a purromise. Especially not when I made it without you asking me. [that's just rude, man]

Anybody claim responsibility for that?

No, but in this city the responsibility usually falls on the Porter.

Unless you mean the animals in general, then I'm betting you'll get your pick of whoever wants to go home with you.

I'm asking if you think it's as simple as that. We're awful quick to blame anything and everything on the porter.

Because it's usually her. Of course if you know of any evil magicians around then by all means start naming them.

Had a run-ins with a few, actually. Strange is here, wouldn't surprise me to see more of them around.

Right. Honestly I'm more worried about corralling the herd than hunting down Mr. Wizard...but if you're free...

I doubt Strange is responsible. The man's too lazy and there's no motive from what I can tell. My point is that other people would, just to cause trouble.

Yeah, okay. Not counting the lazy wizards, we still have far too many ImPorts running around that would think thi- Hey, were you around for Kid'pocolypse? I'm not going to hunt down the guilty but suddenly I'm feeling déjà vu.

Damn; just when you think this place can't get weirder.

Edited 2013-01-01 01:45 (UTC)

Oh this place can always get stranger. At least they seem to be somewhat still in their own head.

I think. Hard to figure it out when I didn't actually know most of them.

You wouldn't happen to have room for a walrus would you?

Guess I could try. Not exactly that much walking room with me, though. [Faith lives on a... less than fixed income, as a rule. But it's not like she has much company anyhow.]

I'll keep you in mind.

This is why I try not to play the good citizen. Bat-shit crazy City.

Beats doing nothing, I'd think.

Right now I'd take doing nothing over figuring out who is who.

Come on, dog. Where's the fun in that?

[There's a brief burst of semi-mechanical noise that anyone who understands Cybertronian will recognize as an aggravated curse.]

I knew this was going to end in disaster.

[But then again, he thinks that about most things.]

--Do you know many people were affected? Or who for that matter?

[Someone might just be a little worried about his boss.]

[Eyebrow raise]

I wasn't exactly taking names.

[Pause]

Rick probably had a list or something. Shit, I should have checked out his things.

[Yep. He's worried now.]

What about Rick himself? Was he affected by all this?

[He has the feeling he already knows the answer to that.]

I'm going to say yes as those of use who came out of the water the same way we went in were few and far between. Of course he could have drowned while we were all freaking out about the sudden appearance of the ImPort zoo.

[She's really not sure which situation would be worse for Rick]

[Oooh no no no no. Please don't joke about fatalities around the paranoiac. He takes those things seriously. ~~Also he has virtually no sense of humor~~.]

[There's another static-y burst, this one sounding vaguely like the curse it is.]

How is this the situation being managed? Are the effected being round-up and identified, or are things still chaotic down there?

[That's Red-speak for "do I need to come down there an make sure no one's taking an imPort to the zoo?"]

There's someone who speaks animal in his head and I'm thinking he's actually serious. We've got crowd control for now, but, uh, I don't know if you have anyone who could monitor calls into Animal Control. Just in case a local tries to play good Samaritan.

Right. That's not really under my jurisdiction, but I'll make a few calls and see if I can't get in touch with them.

[Really, the only hard part about this is getting the Animal Control operator to actually take this ridiculous story seriously.]
