♐ fifty-sixth shot

[yeahihidmypants]

[Oliver is scratching his head. You can't tell that over the journal, but he's been doing it for a while. No, he doesn't have lice... just a puzzlement.]

Has anyone seen a dinosaur around? [Because, now that he thinks about it... Sansa didn't show up after the pirates thing.]

She's small-ish, likes plants... actually knows her name is Sansa. [Brains the size of walnuts, suuure.]




[Fred]

Don't worry, this is non-dinosaur related. I realized that we never got a chance to talk details about the project idea I had for you.

What with all the people showing up and leaving, and then pirate ships...

If you've got some time, I've got a project.

[he laughs, shaking his head]

Oh, yeah. I was just trying to give you the directions she could've gone. I wasn't implying... [more head shaking, because he might have been engaged to two YOUNG GIRLS in the past... stupid castle, but he's not that guy.]

No, just starting points.

[coy]

[She's more suspicious about someone trying to kidnap her because of what she is]

So where should we start?

[yeahihidmypants]

[The castle already kidnapped her!]

Let's try the public areas. There's the Lux, the ballroom, kitchen - the clinic a floor up.

[coy]

[Werewolves like to kidnap her and witches too.]

Okay, that works.

[yeahihidmypants]

[Ollie is neither of those.]

Want to split the list up and meet on the second floor near the clinic?


[ooc: totally up to you if they find her or not LOL I have no real preference.]

[coy]

Yeah, sure. Though... how exactly am I supposed to catch her?

[yeahihidmypants]

Oh! [He moves toward her and hands her a small container of soy beans. It makes sound when you shake it.]

It’s like calling a dog with a treat. She should try to run away. Like I said, she’s pretty friendly.

[coy]

[She takes the container, inspecting it for a moment before she nods] Okay. I'll start shaking.

[yeahihidmypants]

[He smiles at her, nodding.]

Thanks. Her name's Sansa.

[coy]

I remember. [She gives him a reassuring smile before she moves to go look!]

[yeahihidmypants]

[He'll nod and head off the opposite direction to look for Sansa.]

[coy]

[And she'll do the same!]

[yeahihidmypants]

[Looking. Looking.]

[coy]

[Is she finding her?]

[yeahihidmypants]

[Sure! Oliver'll be over here... somewhere...]

[coy]

[She actually finds the thing, cornering her] Oliver? [She calls out to him since she has to pretend she doesn't have vampire strength and all.]

[yeahihidmypants]

[His head whips around, glancing toward the sound of the voice.]

Yu-huh? [Oh! Look at that.]

Hey, you found her. [She's really not that big, probably strong, sure, but she's very pet-like. Oh, he'll be coming over there now.]

[coy]

[She's holding out the container of treats for the dinosaur, instinctively staying away from the beast because... It's a dinosaur. And if it bites her and she doesn't get hurt, that'll be suspicious.] Yeah, here she is.

[yeahihidmypants]

[He does notice the staying away part, so he'll go in closer and scritch behind her earholes.. sort of near her neck. There's an odd trilling sound that she makes, sort of like a near bird-chirp]

She's harmless. Plus, you have treats. [he holds his palm out for Caroline to shake some into his palm]

[coy]

[She gives him some of the treats, eying the dinosaur with disbelief] Is it bad that I figured she was imaginary or something?

[yeahihidmypants]

[There's a moment of frowning as he glances back up at her.]

Do I give off the 'insane imagines dinosaurs' vibe? [a beat]

Never mind, I don't really want to know.

[coy]

Well, no. [She laughs] You don't. But you never know about people!

[yeahihidmypants]

[he smiles, giving Sansa another treat]

It's fine, really. She's real though and she won't hurt you.

[coy]

Can I pet her?

[yeahihidmypants]

Sure. [Sansa actually knows a few words and 'pet' is one of them, so she moves forward a bit and drops her head trying to get it into the right position for the attention.]

See? She likes it, even.
