*Sawatari Makoto as you know her no longer exists.

But her DDD account and her worldhop device do. And in your worlds, you may find a small fox appear out of nowhere, playing with it. She'll bat at the device, chew on it, whatever before hiding from view or maybe getting distracted by something that looks fun to play with.

Or digging holes on your lawn. That's a possibility.*

[Kenshin sees that fox with the worldhop.]

Oro? That is a strange thing for you to have.

[He kneels down and offers some dumplings.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*sniff*

*what are those, are those like meat buns*

*MEAT BUNS*

*leaps to attack the food*

[x_battousai]

It looks like I may have to buy more. You are a hungry little one. But how did you get a worldhop?

[He starts looking around to see if anyone accidentally worldhopped and hid from a fox]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu? *Looks up and sniffs at him. Then bounds back to paw at the device again.*

[x_battousai]

Is anybody here? Someone who dropped something?

[No answer. That was weird.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*The fox shrinks back and tries to make off with the device. Though she's having a hard time picking it up.*

[x_battousai]

That is not food, little fox. It is probably not good for you either. Let me see if I can get you something better to eat.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. *Drops it and grumbles. Looks up at Kenshin, confused. But it's HER weird thing.*

[x_battousai]

[He's got a skewer of yakitori.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*But she wants the weird thing. D:

...sniiiiiiiiiiiff*

[x_battousai]

[The yakitori is really good...]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Food... weird thing...

Okay, she's going over to the food! But she still wants the weird thing.*

[x_battousai]

[Well, if you want both, you're gonna have to go fast. Kenshin's reaching for the worldhop while trying to distract her with food.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Since when has Makoto succeeded at anything? woops spoilers She happily goes for the food, unaware that he's stealing her weird thing.*

[x_battousai]

[Success!]

I had better hold onto this until we can find its owner.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu! *Paws at.*

[x_battousai]

That is not for you. Someone must be looking for it.

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Trying to jump for it. Her weird thing.*

[x_battousai]

[He's trying to keep it out of reach. Why isn't the food distracting you anymore?]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auuu... *Grumble sulk. Hmph. She didn't want it anyway.*

[x_battousai]

[He just smiles.] I suppose I owe you more food to make up for it.

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Chews on the chicken while eyeing Kenshin warily, as if weighing him on a scale between Free Food and Grand Theft Weird Thing.*

[x_battousai]

[laughing] Yes, I think I will have to.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. *scratches ear*

[material_guy]

[Heading back from a probably dubious activity out of the bar, at first Greed doesn't think much of the fox besides that it's unusual for animals to wander into the downtown area. Even if it's not too heavily populated and cars aren't rushing by out here, animals besides raccoons tend to stay out in the surrounding foresty area. With only a disinterested glance, he passes by.

Then, belatedly, stops and looks back.

There's a thingy. Now that's interesting.] Nnn?

[And so Greed approaches the device--and coincidentally, the fox, expecting it to flee immediately upon being approached as most wild animals do.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu!

*The fox bolts away, stops, looks back, and then runs back to the device. It then proceeds to try and pick it up and run off with it. This isn't going well either.*

[material_guy]

Aw, no y'don't. [He crouches down as his hand swipes out to bat at the fox while trying to reach for the device first.] Mine!

[yes_im_kawaii]

! *She darts out of the way, then realizes that, wait, that means the big scary guy has the device. Cue trying to jump for it.

Not very effective.*

[material_guy]

[He is still crouching while looking it over, so it's not completely out of her reach... but, getting it out of his grip is another matter. Looking over the device at the fox with an unimpressed stare, he lets a few seconds of silence pass before holding it up as if trying to make her jump for it.] ...What're you even tryin' to do? Oi.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu! *Jump. Jump. Want. D:*

[material_guy]

[Yoink, up. Down. Yoink. Down. Yoink. He doesn't actually look that amused by it, but he doesn't stop.] You ain't a wild fox, are you? [Looking at what's in his hand for a moment, he stands back up, prodding, messing about with it.] Ah. It's probably one of those... [Holding it up, he looks down.] You virused or somethin'?

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Get taken home by a kid when you're injured and it ruins you for life. Animal problems.

Fox headtilts.* Auu?

[material_guy]

You know. Virused. Turned into an animal? I ain't been on today to see if that's what's goin' on, but... Nod or do somethin' so I know I ain't just talkin' to a stupid animal here, would'ja?

[yes_im_kawaii]

*In response, she growls and bites his pant leg.*

[material_guy]

[In response, he crouches back down again and bops her lightly on the head with the device.] You really think yer in a state to go messin' with me?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu! *Lets go, winces, and glares. She's trying to be menacing, okay.*

[material_guy]

Well, I guess I could let you off easy for pickin' a fight and just take this for keepsies...

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Jumps at it with a very cross look. Cross but ineffective. >|.*

[material_guy]

Ou! [He jerks it up out of reach anyway, breaking into another snicker, then trying to grab at her with his other hand.] Lucky for your furry ass, I don't really need one, so I'll let'cha buy it back.

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Picked up and squirming. Hey.*

[material_guy]

[He starts towards a down-heading undergroind stairway only to stop short and hold the fox up by the scruff of the neck.] ... You really are a person, right? I'm not gonna walk in there and make an idiot out of myself tryin' to put you in front of a computer and askin' you who you are so we can figure out how you can pay me back for this, right?

[yes_im_kawaii]

*Bats at his face.*Auu.

[material_guy]

[Good enough for him. He heads inside the bar, earning a few looks, one of the customers calling out that Greed really got himself a fox this time. It's dark, smoky, but surprisingly low-key, besides an anachronistic flashy rock and roll slot machine that looks garrishly out of place; there aren't brawls breaking out everywhere, and it's relatively calm. A few of the people in the bar look like some sort of bad sci-fi extra, with deformed faces with crocodile teeth or claws, but still, it's calm enough inside.

Plopping the fox down on one of the back couches, along with the device, he starts off towards a back door.] Wait there, I'll get the computer 'n get it running. No one mess with the fox here, alright? It's probably a person.


[The bar must be familiar enough with the community, as that statement is taken at face value with very little reaction from the masses. They go on to ignore her.

Which is to say, she's left alone with the device which, if she can work it, will get her transported elsewhere.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

*The fox does indeed freak out and hits the transport button again. Yaaay going someplace else.*

[sandinmyboots]

[The Tower of Kefka doesn't have a great deal of lawns on it since it's a tower that has no ground access. However, as Kefka's house, it also has Kefka's bedroom and Kefka's bed. So, you know, if a fox would like to get some accidental revenge on Kefka for lying by messing up his bed, that is totally an option.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu?

*What is this place? It looks like fun. Makoto starts wandering around and trying to climb up onto the bed, only succeeding in pulling down all of the sheets and flailing around in a heap.*
