Stages Of Life


OMG! Look what the key brought out! biggrin Yay! Weird how TC keeps ending up with kitty-type pets, when she herself is quite canine. Perchance this reveals summit? Hmn...


TC was waiting for this moment, and finally it's here! Of course, maybe she wasn't quite ready, as this adorable little plush of hers is not lazy like the rest of the crew. Nope, she is like a caffeinated chipmunk. Oh dear.

Khadira's Companions

Willow and LP
TC
Ouijo (though he hates her. o-o)

A Hard Day At Marching Band

"Alright, reset..." muttered the conductor as he finished his speech, climbing down from the podium and scratching his head. TC groaned and bent over, glaring heartlessly at the ground. The cold wind rustled through her hair, sending a sensation much like sandpaper over the skin on her face. Whimperign softly to herself, she let the golden saxophone she was so accustomed to hang from her neck, reaching her hands into the pockets of her hoodie and placing them under the small plush that occupied the small area. As a saxophonist, she needed the warmth on at least her fingers.

As she slowly paced back toward her position in line, she could only wonder why this conductor of hers was so obsessed with this one line. It was impossible to make a perfectly straight line every time with more than 100 people, expecially when the ever-clumbsy TC and her pals were concerned.

Suddenly, a whisper came from down the line. "You 4 are in the wrong spot! Move over a bit..." and at the same time, the familiar command and whistle calling the line to attention. TC shook her head, and ignoring the majors, scooted down to the next line. BIG mistake. Just as she stopped, another order was given. "You 4 there, you moved. Run. Now." TC moaned again and felt like she was goign to collapse on sight. "...I'm serious. MOVE IT!" came the major's cry. "...now?" whispered somebody from behind. Annoyedly, the response followed. "yes now. to the other side of the field and back. NOW!"

Sighing, TC unclipped the small plastic hook from her saxophone and set it down upon the grass, or what little was left of it. Pulling her hands from the pockets, she took off across the field, Khadira being bounced all over inside her hoodie.

"I'm sorry Khadira, I have to do this though..." she whispered, and was sure that everybody now thought she were talking to herself. They never understood, did they?

Of course, as true to her nature, TC would trip over her own overly-sized paws, and stumble. She toppled over in midair, onto her stomach, and skidded across the dirt. The entire line before her burst in laughter. The canis-girl just laid there for a minute, eyes closed, gasping for breath. "...Remind me again why I joined this band..." she muttered to herself, or rather, to Khadira, who she had briefly forgotten she was lying on. With sudden urgency, she leapt up and ran her fingers through her pockets, frantically forcing Khadira's bulk out from the pocket hole.

As she quite often was, TC was in a panic by time the plush was fully out of her pocket, Khadira's long tail dangling quite a bit beneath TC's trembling hands. Searching over the small leopard plush, she found nothing more than a bit of dirt. Pulling the plush to her chest tightly, arms wrapped around it's squishy midcenter, she hugged the plush in relief. "Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry Khadira! Are you alright?" Her sentence was rushed, eyes closed as she snuggled the small cat.

By now, the band was silent, staring, watching this new interuption. After what seemed to be 10-15 minutes, somebody had the nerve to pipe up. "...You still play.. with plush toys?" TC froze, eyes snapping open. She nearly dropped Khadira.

"...PLAY?" she questioned, staring intently at the challenger. "...PLUSH TOYS?" she again challenged. "...I beg to differ. Khadira is NOT a plush toy. She's my friend...." At this, the whole band nearly lost it, many toppling over on their friends from laughing so hard. TC whimpered, tail flinching softly before wrapping around her left leg. "You NAMED it?... Wow psycho, You ARE insane!" Another person nerved. Psycho. One of her most famous nicknames.

"Alright, enough. Everybody, you were called to attention, now GET BACK IN LINE!" came the call from the conductor, who by now was ticked off at everybody. His stern look settled on TC. "...And take your little 'friend' with you." He taunted.

Shaken, TC could do little but stare Khadira in the eye. There was an almost creepy, unsettling sparkle to it... and yet, to TC, it was comforting. It provided a friend in an hour of need. Embarressing as that experience had been, as mellow as it had made her, that gaze from her to Khadira gave her a renewed sense of hyper, happy, self-confident goodness. With a gaze back, she scanned teh line in front of her and smiled. Really, it had been kind of funny in a way, hadn't it been?

Smiling softly, she was sure others would find her smiling at their insults to be quite... psychotic, as they said. Yet, at this point, she could care less.

Reattaching her saxophone to it's strap about her neck, and setting Khadira on the bench to watch the performance, TC forced herself in line. With all the jeering, whispers, and laughing she heard while the eyes were on her, this time, she wasn't so afraid, so paranoid. Because on her back, she could feel the sparkling, loving eyes of Khadira, the one thing she possessed that none of these immature idiots could ever possess- a heaven-sent friend.

Visiting The Zoo: Animals On The Loose!

Excitement filled the three travellers as they stared up at the large gate. TC's bright yellow employment shirt seemed to glow against her beige pants under the sun's light, which had just began to peer over the distant horizon. On TC's shoulders sat the small tiger child. Wait, what? TIGER CHILD? But Khadira was a leopard plush, not a tiger, nor a child.... No, this was Willow, who was sitting on TC's shoulders, holding Khadira gently as she stared into the zoo gate.

"Well, we're here..." TC smiled, lifting Willow from her shoulders and setting her on the bricks underfoot, and then leaned down and smiled at her. "...you two need to promise that you'll be good. I can't be getting in any trouble because of you two, alright?" Her smile turned into a mishevious smirk, and she winked, turning the knob to the employees entrance and pushing Willow inside. "...And take care of Khadira, please?" She removed the camera from the bag around her neck and handed it to Willow. "Get me some pictures too?"

Willow nodded. Wow, TC was quite demanding. It kind of reminded her of somebody else she knew... Nonetheless, she accepted the camera, and upon setting Khadira on her head, she turned and faced the still-empty zoo. It wasn't even open yet? They had full reign.

TC turned and headed toward the volunteer house. She wouldn't be seen much for the rest of the day.

Willow was preoccupied with amazement as she entered the zoo grounds, staring in at the bald eagles which called the zoo entrance their home. "...Those are bald eagles, Khadira..." she whispered, as if speaking would break the moment. After a few moments, she turned around. Two pathways. One led to the main zoo, and the other to the african and artic areas. Which way to go first?

She figured taking the shorter path would work best, so they headed to the left. Seals, polar bears, giraffes, kudu, zebra, wildebeest... and wolves? The wolves really seemed to capture Khadira's attention, even if she were just a plush and couldn't really say much. There was just something about the aura the small kit was giving out that pulled toward the wolves.

"Yes Khadira, those are wolves..." Willow shuddered softly. Canines. She turned to leave, but something about the dim sparkle in the eyes of the plush stopped her. She sighed. "Yes, I know... I know. TC's... kindda sortta a wolf, ain't she?" Willow paused. That was kind of... awkward. Here she was, not even 6 feet away from a feral wolf, and she hadn't even realised that TC was, in a way, related to them. It kind of gave one the shivers.

The zoo had just open at this point, and a few people were beginning to walk in through the entrance. There were all sorts of different people, elderly, teenagers, children, babies, amish, and even people dressed like knights from the elden days. Willow had turned around and headed toward the bridge, and as they walked across it, she could almost feel a pulse humming from within the small plush as music waved loudly through the walls of the bridge.

As they entered the zoo, the first pathway they came upon had snow leopards in it. It was the closest thing that they had to Khadira's relatives, seeing as clouded leopards were so rare. However, the two cats were hiding somewhere... and it wasn't until Willow had nearly given up that she spotted the larger male staring down at her from a rock that overhung right over them. She pointed up excitedly. "Kha! Look! It's a snowy leopard!" She smiled, Khadira seeming to radiate with happiness. Of course, the leopard took off and hid at the loud noise that had disturbed his sleep. Willow blushed. Whoops. She hurried and scuffled back.

The next pathway was filled with penguins, avians, and... what was this... TIGERS? Willow was entranced. Her relatives, just behind the glass. She could almost feel their warm breath on her paw... but, they didn't seem to realise she was one of them.

Suddenly, some crazed, deranged women passed by, and upon seeing Willow, nearly had a heart attack. She screamed, the shrill voice causing Willow to flinch, Khadira nearly falling from her head.

"AHHH! THE TIGER CUB! IT ESCAPED!" She screamed, and havoc broke loose. Everybody was running and grabbing their children, screaming and trampling each other toward the exit. Willow just stood there. Why were they looking at her like that? She hadn't let any tiger cubs loose...

One of the zookeepers raced over, and upon seeing Willow, took a sigh of relief. Of course, this was quite an odd sight. Their weren't many nekos around, let alone anthromorphic children. Willow swallowed hard.

"Hey little one... who do you belong to?" Willow growled. "I don't belong to anybody. But I came here with TC..." The zookeeper blinked. "TC? Where's she at?" Willow sighed. Didn't they KNOW this? Willow responded, "I dunno. Last time I saw her, she was headed toward the volunteer office."

The zookeeper sighed. "She's one of them ZooTeens, isn't she?" she asked, staring at the small clouded leopard plush on Willow's shoulder. "...That things creepy." Without waiting for an answer, the zookeeper (who we shall from this point on call 'Jude' just because.) signalled for the 'two' to follow and turned towards a large building with a giant foam dragon sitting on top of it. Willow rolled her eyes. "...And the goose-chase begins."

Entering a dimly lit hallway that resembled a dungeon almost too much, they passed through a rather bland door and into a room which was actually a staircase. Down they went, passing many wooden showcases filled with fake pelts, snake skin, real pelts, animal claws and teeth, random cardboard and cans for interaction, and a bunch of other rooms hidden behind steel and wooden doors. Finally, they came across an open room which was completely empty of people. In the center was a long table and a multitude of chairs, a pop machine, a couch, a computer which a rolling chair, a barred window, a desk with a microwave on it, a smaller room attached with a sink and shelves covered in insect containers, and a bunch of keys hanging from a wooden shelf in the corner. Beneath the keys was a table which was covered in folders and ripped out papers, mostly hour sheets of the sort. Jude proceeded to look through these, finally stumbling upon the schedule list. TC was, at this time, scheduled for lunch. Well, that was exciting. In such a large place, they'd never find her! Next, after lunch, she was planning on taking a pelt out and lecturing kids about whatever it was she chose. Something the zoo's volunteers referred to as 'BioFacts'. "Well, looks like she'll be heading to the old African exhibit." Jude frowned.

TC rarely went to the old african exhibit with biofacts. All the animals there hated seeing the remains of their deceased ancestors. That must mean, of course, that she was taking the opportunity to take something that had nothing to do with Africa out and snapping a few photos, as was the custom with TC, for an hour. It didn't take long. On the way to said exhibit, the trio passed the cheetahs, who were sunbathing out on the open grass. Willow kept right on walking, having grown sick of following this lady around and being treated like an animal. Khadira, however, jumped for joy- or, would have had she been something other than a plush toy. After the cheetahs came, again, the snow leopards, and a brief encounter with a slobbering sloth bear. Just ahead was the petting zoo and the reptile house- which Khadira was secretly looking foreward too. They never made it, of course, as Africa left them turning under a huge cement arch and walking down a large pathway.

First on the route was the elephants. The largest one had with her a miniature version of herself- her offspring of course. Here, Khadira fell from Willow's shoulder and forced her to retrieve the plush and wipe her off. "Come on, you two!" Jude screamed from behind. Willow's ears flicked back and she muttered something under her breath... had Khadira heard what it was, and perchance repeated it when she was old enough to do so, TC might never have forgiven her.

Next came some african birds, which struck the two large cats with a rather awkward pang of hunger. Well, maybe more Willow than Khadira, but that's besides the point. Following the dull gray storks and other random avians was the hippo tank. The hippos were, of course, nowhere to be seen. They were resting beneath a shady tree off in the distance somewhere. Following along the long pathway, the trio came across an indoor area where the giraffes and elephants were kept in the winter- or rather, just the elephants these days, as the giraffes had been moved to a larger free-roam area a few years before. Soon after came the meerkats and some weird animal known as a Bongo, but Willow and Khadira had little time to see them as they were being dragged along, now, by Jude the keeper. They followed the path further until the came to a large area containing four male white lions, all piled on top of each other in a rather awkward manner, sleeping. This was, to say the least, extremely boring to watch- as the felines did nothing.

Jude seemed to grow even angrier. "Where the heck is this friend of yours?" She asked in a rather obnoxious voice. No, most keepers were really nice, but when you nearly scare every visitor out of the zoo by bringing in people who look more like animals than people, well, you tend to get a bit peeved. Finally, they exitted the African exhibit.

Jude decided it would be best to stick together, even if the grounds were huge and winding. The past the cheetahs and snow leopards once more, coming to a large ampitheatre where some dogs were doing tricks, and then, again, past a large brick building. Going through this, they discovered a large aquarium full of the most awkward looking sea-creatures you could imagine. Through the asian exhibit, where loud birds and stingrays roamed their kingdoms freely, and where Khadira seemed- somehow- particularly taken by a sloth which had made it's bed high up near the light fixtures.

Through the asian exibit and into the aquarium once more, and then out through it's end doors. Just this way was the botanical gardens, where few of the volunteers bothered to go, and past that was the ape kingdom. The trio trudged along- by now tired, hot, and thirsty. There were orangutans, gorillas, and the smaller- yet more adorable- monkeys, which hopped around much like Khadira wished she could.

Still no sign of TC. She must, then, have crossed the bridge back to the area where the wolves and eagles were. Either that or she was in the children's zoo, which they had passed up rather blatently. It was to the petting farm they headed then, where the goats and the donkeys and pigs and alpaces roamed free. Willow was sure to keep a tight grip on Khadira through their, as the goats loved to chew on anything- and everything- they could get their tough little lips on. At the very end gate, nearest the artic fox exhibit, by the birds of prey and the tortoises and animal nursery, they finally ran into TC.

"Hey, miss. I think you forgot something." Jude groaned, shoving Willow and Khadira forward. TC's eyes narrowed. "What did you two do now? I told you to be good!" She growled, her sharp fangs showing beneath her upper lip. Jude shook her head. "Just scared the guests half to death with her animal likeness. And the creepiness of that little doll she carries around. Try to keep a better hold on them, will ya?"

With no time for explanation, Jude left to return to her work and TC blinked in confusion. Suddenly, she burst out laughing as Willow nearly fell over faint at such a quick trek through the zoo. Needless to say, the two went home and slept. Slept, slept and slept some more. TC was grateful for the rest time she got, as well, as she was nearly just as tired from her day at work.

Khadira loves the zoo and it's animals, just like her guardian.

Willow? Well, decide that for yourself.

A Visit With Willow (..And LP): Spring Cleaning

[[Unfinished RP. D: Oh well.Oh yeah, and Khad's still a plush here. >>;]]

The leaves on the trees were a variety of reds, yellows, and browns, and many had already fallen along the grassy floor of the forest. It would be hard for one to stay stealthy now, even this early into autumn. Thus, TC didn't even try. Her large, leather boots crunched noisely against the leaves under foot, somehow managing to ignore the sandpaper-rough feeling of the cold breeze brustling through the trees and making many ghostly howls in the night. TC was also jabberjawing away, talking almost as fast as she could type to the small clouded leopard that bounced, as usual, on her head as she walked. Of course, that familiar black leather trenchcoat hung from her shoulders down to about her knees, hiding all but a few bits and pieces of the blue and yellow star and moon pajama pants and black sweatshirt that she wore underneath. Khadira, of course, made no response to TC's constant chatter, but rather listened, that rather creepy- and yet, to TC, quite comforting- gleam remained in her eyes.

LP yawned as she was working on last minute spring cleaning. There were heaps of things everywhere. LP knew she was a pack rat but this is nuts. She needed to get the things that were not suppose to freeze inside this year she had all kinds of decorations strown out and about too. Things that she would use a little later, all of it halloween themed. She was a big holiday nut, and everyone by this time should know it. The decoration pile being the largest of the three. Clinging and Clanking nothing was safe. And big clouds of dust being swept out of her cave. Hope no one chokes on any of that.

TC, preoccupied as she was, forgot about the 'always watch where you are going' rule and thus was walking with her eyes closed in a rather matter-of-fact way, her high pitched hyper voice growing into a surprised scream as a round object from one of the piles came rolling under her foot, causing her to struggle to balance on it. It was much like a circus act, really, and her eyes snapped eyes, growing to full size. She held her breath and threw out her arms, trying to balance on her over-sized hind paws using only her arms and her tail. "L-P..." she groaned in a drawn out matter. "What....is....all....this... junk!" she said, finally falling off the can and landing on her stomach in the dirt. Khadira flew up, did a flip in the air, and landed softly on TC's back. Well, at least she had had a nice soft pillow to land out. Meanwhile, TC had the breath knocked out of her in a rather humiliating, and yet- one must admit- a quite hilarious turn of events.

Stopping her sweeping her head appered over the teash heap. "Well it's trash that I have lying around.... I'm doing last minute spring cleaning. I always do it this time of year." She shrugged and blinked when TC fell and busted out lauhing so hard she was crying. "Woo-haha-ha" She paused to catch her breath. "Ya alright? Need a hand??" She asked after huffing and puffing for a bit leaning on the broom. She looked at all her things tc dubbed "junk"

TC forced herself up, pushing herself back against a tree trunk, knees folded to her chest. She gasped for breath as she tried to regain all that had been lost. "Nau, I'm fine. Really." she said, lifting her eyes to the sky. Khadira had since fallen from TC's back, and TC picked her up from the soft patch of leaves she had nestled in, setting her on her knees. "And why the heck do you do spring cleaning in the fall? It's called 'spring cleaning' for a reason!" she chuckled, or would have had she not been slightly humiliated only moments before. Not that TC really minded, she was quite clumbsy and constantly finding herself in these types of situations, and yet when you are leaning against a tree gasping for breath, one tends to think somethings wrong. Luckily, these pajama pants hadn't had any pockets, and thus TC hadn't brought along any of her MP3 or CD players, or anything else that could've been injured.

LP shrugged and turned to head back into the cave. "I dunno. Come on and give me a hand I need to get done before dark." Althought it wouldn't have mattered 'cause she could just toss up pumpkins and plugged them in to light up the area. "there's a broom with you're name on it or a feather duster." She called back as she went about sweeping again. The sky being filled with a brownish colour.

TC moaned softly, forcing herself to stand up. She took Khadira and set her in a small pile of leaves under the tree. "LP, you KNOW how I hate working..." she whined, much as would a child. "...especially cleaning! 'Tis one reason I never stay in the same place for more than a week!" she grumbled and complained. 'Twas true, TC rotated between caves every few weeks, sometimes even daily! TC continued to grumble and complain to herself, but nonetheless, she picked up the featherduster

Willow walked past TC yawning. "Yeah, you wine, Atleast you don't have to live in it." She walked over to Khadira and picked up her. "come on Kha we'll go play away from these two." She eyed TC and LP and walked off towards the garden with the plush.
LP laughed she had all the dirt in the hall way all she needed to do was get it outside. "Be careful of the candles! I don't have anymore." She said, she knew it didnt' matter they wouldn't get hurt if knocked down but felt need to say it anyways. She was blasting duran duran while cleaning.

TC nodded, staring down at the dirt floors. She would have sighed had thefeather duster not been her chosen cleaning-utensil of choice. Instead,she was busy smiling as she brushed the multi-colored feathers againsther chin. "I don't see why you don't just replace all of these candleswith some rave lights and glowsticks!" she chuckled, raching up and sweeping at the highest points she could reach. "...Ooo,or BLACKLIGHT overheads!" A rather deviant look came over her face as she paused on that idea. "...you know, they actually MAKE those now..."she thought aloud. Then she shrugged and went back to dusting. Khadira was picked up by Willow, and though one couldn't tell what, or if, she were thinking anything- the sparkle in her eye seemed to smile for her.

LP lauagh. "Well I don't have plug ins so where would I put them?? And I'd have to replace glow sticks every so many hours. Ya know there's no light that comes into caves save what you put in them. Candles are the cheapest." She was just now finishing the sweaping. Once she finished she could go to helping tc dust farther in the cave.
Willow chuckled and snugged Kha. "We can go play with some of my ghost friends. The ones that aren't helping LP orgainize." She smiled. "We could play hide n' seek what do you think of that!? or maybe leap frog or marbles or chess or something!!" she skipped towards the garden.

Khadira said, and did, nothing. She remained motionless, save for the bobbing of her limbs as she bounced about in Willow's arms."THEY MAKE BATTERY OPERATED GLOW STICKS NOW!" TC excitedly said in her exasperated, desperate plead to make herself sound smart. "And I think I know that. I sortta live in caves too, remember?" She chuckled softly, gazing outside the cave toward the pile of leaves where Khadira had been. "Hey, Willow did say she was going to play with Khadi, right?" She stopped dusting for a moment.

Willow snickered as she reached the garden and she chuckled. "what do you wanna play?"
LP shook her head. "Sure Tc, Sure whatever you wish." She finished sweeping and opened a door on the tree infront of the cave entrance and walked towards the heart of the cave. "Come on. We need to dust the book shevles and all that." She yawned she walked.

"But they doo-ooo!" TC nagged, nearly stepping on LP's heels as she tried toconvince her. As quickly as she had brought Khadira up, however, she shrugged it off. Of course Willow had her. Khadira didn't respond. Willow needed to remember, she was still just a plush.

LP laughed again. "mmhmmm, okay, whatever." once TC started stepping on her heels LP stopped suddenly infront of her waiting for TC to run into her. "don't walk on my heels." she muttered as she walked along taking up a feather duster as she watched books move themselfs and bottles move she chuckled and walked toth e table starting to dust. "Curtains close." she muttered as she walked in looking at her picture which was hidden from TC suddenly.
"GREAT IDEA!!!" she said laughing "We'll play faeries!!!" She ran over to a tree and snagged two leaves and tied them on Kha's back. "You'll be the faerie okie!" she smiled and ran towards the flowers with kha.

TC drooped suddenly, arms to her side, feather duster brushing against her knees. She gumbled something about never getting to do anything under her breathe before plopping down against a wall. "You know, I didn't come over here to sit against a wall while you stare at pictures that I'm not allowed to see..." she whined partially under her breath.Khadira was, indeed, now a faerie-raver-clouded leopard plush. Yet still, she didn't move. Rather the gleam in her eyes switched to a rather deviant sparkle.

Willow clicked her tounge and a ghost hoped into Kha's pelt. [there now she can play XD ] Willow giggles and sat down acting losting.

LP laughed at TC, "You don't want to see that. Trust me. I know you, you're not interested in that. If you really want to see it go look at it thou." She finished cleaning the table before entering a room a little bit away from the picture

Khadira suddenly hopped up on two legs, under the influence of the ghosts movements, and danced around in a little circle. TC gazed at the room LP
had covered with a curtain. Maybe she was right... LP did, after all, know TC rather well. She sighed and got back up, walking toward the room LP had just entered. "By the way, I DID come over to ask you a question..." she chuckled, having forgotten her whole purpose in coming over with the little freak-show that had plauged her.

LP yawned as tc came into more of a Techno room. Lights all over the place and what looked like a dance floor. She sat in a chair yawning the tv showing something about someone stupid. "As you were saying?" She promted the question.
Willow again giggled and then peered out from the flowers towards Kha like she was watching her dance. Flowers hide her face so that only her two eyes showed.

TC nodded. "...It's about Willow." She said in a serious tone, masking herself with a serious face as well.
Khadira paused where she was, looking around. "Willow? Where'd ya go!?!" she said, or more, the ghost said for her.

Willow giggle again the flowers moved. "You're suppose to act like you're a lost faerie dancing and i'm a lost child." She laughed again.
"Oh???" LP had proved to TC she knew what they made she just still liked her place like it was and this was the room that went with the fads. She yawned she had disco back in the day and brought most of that stuff back out for the raver room.

"oh..."Khadira was new to this 'playing' thing, but she would catch on quick.She nodded. "Got'cha!" She winked and turned around, starting hertwo-legged dance all over again."Yeah.I know she's been on your nerves with the whole 'ghost' thing lately,so I figured maybe she could go to the zoo with me and Khadira tomorrow. I need a sitter who knows her big cats..." She paused. "...and there'slots of candy...." she bribed.

LP shurged softly pondering watching the tv flip. "I suppose she can go. Only if she wants to I mean after all. She'd have ghosts with her to so I don't see why not. Just hope they don't get hte idea of going into the inclosers." She said softly yawning.
Willow giggled as she watched kha dance. Pulling the flowers apart and acted as she if was watching amusedidly.

TCgrinned. "Yay!" She bounced up and down for a moment. "I've gotta gohere pretty soon though..." she said, looking down at her wrist, wherethere wasn't a watch. "...gotta leave really early in the morning..."Khacontinued to dance around in a circle, bobbing her head to the left andto the right. The ghost seemed to make her sing 'la la la's as she spunin rather ungraceful circlets.

Willow rusteled the flowers even louder as she watch. Giggling.
LP pouted for a second. "Why do you have to go!?" She asked as she got up and walked over to a pacman game. "isn't this retro??" She giggled playing a round.

TCblinked. "...because I've gotta get to the zoo bright and earlytomorrow...." she repeated herself, blinking softly. LP had suddenlyperked up...Khadira turned around, and upon spotting the small tiger, she became silent and ran off behind a tree to hide.

LP nodded softly, "sad, you can bed here tonight if you'd like." she yawned.
Willow giggled. "Awww" she padded up towards where the plush had ran to.

Big Event: Lights, Camera, Action:

Coming Soon

BACK TRACK, RP with LP and Willow, 1/24/2005:

Into the shop she came, one who hadn't been seen much, and definately not that recently. A soft yawn was the only sound she made as she paused, stretching out with a soft grunt and then returning to normal position. Her hazel eyes scanned the room, head tilted to the side. The two wolf ears atop her head were pricked foreward for a moment before falling backwards atop her mousey brown hair once again. Quietly, she made her way across the wooden floor towards the furthest away couch. The tick-tock of her watch would've normally been enough to drive her insane... but she was too tired. Long, white wolf tail dragged behind her against the floor, picking up dust like a broom or mop would. She then plopped down on the couch, staring at the shop, which appeared empty at the moment. Finally, some peace. Overly-sized paws were relieved of their duties for the moment. Silence. One of her worst fears. The bags under her eyes had grown drastically since her last visit, seemingly enough to soon swallow her face whole. She swallowed hard, leaning her head against the cushions behind her, a newly-placed chain wrapped thrice around her neck- once tightly, the second looser, the third hanging off of her a bit. Reaching up with her metal-clawed forepaws, she proceeded to tuck them back under her shirt for protection before falling limp once again. A soft sigh followed. She was so tired that she couldn't fall asleep? Wonderful. Just wonderful.

LP mutters softly as thru the snow one last time before her and willow heaed off to some beach to stay for a while... and before her and moo would actully meet up on an adventure LP entered the toychest shaking off the snow from her hair. Again drenched in it from chest down for some of the piles had grown almost to her hight. She sighed letting willow from her coat before taking it off. Leaning afterwards on a wall she noticed her old friend.* Safe tonight eh? *she didn't know if TC knew or not but 'least she can kid 'round 'bout it without fear. Thrice almost strangled to death, thrice escaping how could she be so lucky? Next time she might not.* Rare to see you here.
Willow noticed TC and headed over to her shivering. Finally some fur to curl up in other than her own. She leapt onto TC's lap and curled up in the fuzzy white tail. Which now would have a ball of orange fluff. Willow chuffed, happily. As she dozed off.

TC was paranoid now, the tiredness havng full control of her mind. The room seemed to spin in circles before her eyes, and the small orange ball of fluff wasn't taken much consideration to whereas TC was already seeing colorful spots before her eyes. Howeve,r jlt was given as LP entered, speaking to her. Ears pulled forth, gaze staring over as her as she began to shake harder than she already was. Paw was pulle dto chest, over her heart, gasp given as she began to sruggle to catch her breathe. "DARN YOU LP! Don't DO that!!!" She said, a appearance coming across her face. "Yea.... well... What can I say?"

*LP snickered* your wrose than me. Spazzy DAZZY! *she chuckled and sat on the floor* it's freezeing out there I'm gunna go to the nearest island and chill out. How've you been thou it's been a while since our last run in. Which afterwards turned slightly deadly for some odd reason.
*willow looked up to TC blinking before clawing into TC's tail trying to fluff it up.* MROWL!?

TC sighed softly, tilting her head the side, ears pulled back. "you try being so tired that you can't..." She paused for a minute. "...deadly? Why would..?" She paused. "My gawsh, I'm tired." She said, leaning her head back agaisnt the wall, paw covering her eyes.

As Willow churned little tiger claws against her tail, she twiched a bit, ignoring the tingle against her tail for a moment. She had just realized it was Willow, gentle shiver given.
*Shurgs* Dont worry 'bout it. You should get some rest thou. You look tried.
*willow murred and looked up at tc, and then went to nuzzling her arm.*

Nodding to LP, she forced a weak smirk. "I'll try..."
Leaning down to the tiger, she nuzzled it back, a soft "murr" escaping before pulling herself into a tight little ball on the couch, careful not to knock her tail out of it's current boundaries as not to upset the young tiger. Soft snuggled was given as she laid her paws under her cheek, lying her weight firmly against the couch, chains dangling against the pillows.

*LP chuckled watching TC and willow. She found it rather amusing* I'll be back in a sec I've gotta do something. TC mind watching Willow for me and keep her outa trouble? *she blinks softly*
*willow's eye's widened and she looked over at LP with her head tilted*

"I..." She paused, a yawn coming to her. "... guess." She muttered, chin lying upon her paws as she curled up tighter, trenchcoat wrapped tightly about her frame now. "what could she POSSIBLY get into that I can't handle..." She shivered softly.

*LP looked at TC* you would be surpized.... VERY surpized. I'll be back within then fifteen minutes. *With that LP dissapered out the door*
*Willow smiled... hrmm this would give her a chance to wreak a little havoc. She looked at the close to dozing TC, and hopped off her tail running over to the shelves and jumped up on the lowest one* Rowl!

TC chuckled softly to herself, pausing only to yawn, a small groan followed. "You heard LP, Willow. Stay out of trouble. Don't go knocking anything over or chewing up any of these plushies. I'm poor as it is, and I'm sure LP wouldn't be too happy if she had to replace something..." She muttered softly, staring around the room with dialated pupils.

*Just 'cause she wasn't supose to mess up anything she could still cause enough trouble if possible. She ran along the shelves jumping to the next and slid to a stop. Waiting....* Rowl!? *she caled looking around listening for that quite voice, maybe she could get it to help?*

TC watched the small tiger carefully, head cocked to the side, ears pulled back. Awkward behavior it was, calling to the air. A soft shrug was given as she rolled onto her back, arms pulled to her side, tail dangling from the side of the couch as she glared up at the ceiling, possibly counting the tiles or wood slats to try and get some rest. "Willow.. I'm warning you...." she muttered, almost inaudibly. "You don't want me to have to get up..."

*willow snickered. The voice was back.... she'd have some fun now if she could understand them they can understand her.
*LP walked in* Willow we need to get! *she looked to TC* hope she's not been a bother. If you wanan crash here you can or you can head to my place, you know where it is and crash.

TC had already fallen asleep, into a deep sleep it seemed. She was rather quiet in dreamworld.. for now. She nodded softly subconciously, but was too far gone to pay a notice.

*LP dissapered off with willow close behind* night TC......
