NEW DAY// Crimson finished the last puff on his cigarette and tossed it into the street before opening the door to the Vet's. Ahh... it was great to be back in the office. Not that he hadn't been here the day before, but it felt great. He walked in and plopped down into Celeste's chair. His hands quickly went behind his head and his fingers laced while his feet went on top of the desk and crossed. Ahh... this was the life. He knew within moments he'd have to stand up and go feed all of the pets, but dammit. He wanted to soak up this moment.

 Today's first, and let's hope not only, client was Kevin. Not that he had any animals to be checked, since he didn't have any animals at all, but that was exactly the point. He wanted one! Althought, he wasn't quite sure if he should get one, and if he did, which kind to get. Dogs were so louds, cats lost their fur, ferrets were smelly... maybe a fish? But fish were boring... Oh, so many decision... Which was why, for this one time, he had decided to drop the blind act. Not that he didn't have his sunglasses on. He loved them too much for that, and he could stare at people without them noticing when he was wearing them. He also had a green button up shirt taken directly from Benedikt's pile of clothes. It was a bit short, but barely noticeable. As for his pants, he was wearing regular black pants, as allways.
He entered the clinic and looked around for a moment before frowning. This looked way more like a veterinarian clinic than a pet shop... Maybe he was at the wrong place? Or maybe it was a refuge for animals, which would make much more sense.... then again, how many animals on that island needed something like that? Thankfully for him, a man was sitting right at the reception desk, ready to reception him! He was quite good looking too~ "Ah...? Pardon me? I think I may have the wrong place... Do you know where the pet shop is? I was told it was here, but I'm afraid I was misinformed.

Crimson quickly dropped his legs from the desk and back down to the floor when he saw the man enter through the door. For some reason, he felt like he had seen this man before. Perhaps it was his old age sinking in, but he just couldn't place where he had seen him. That was very odd. He jumped to his feet once the man began to address him and extended his hand out to him. "Ay, you're in the right place, mate. This is the veterinarian clinic and the pet shop, lad. A two-in-one special if you will, mate." He pulled his hand back to his side and began walking through the back door towards where all the little pets were. "Follow me, mate. The critters are back here, mate." He smiled and continued through the doors, stopping in front of the first set of cages. "Is there anything in particular you're looking for, mate?"

 Just like Crimson, Kevin was having that weird feeling inside of him that he had meet that man before, but where was it? He could'tquite remember. Maybe they had run into each other when they were both living off the island? From what he had gathered form Judith and Yoakim, about 10 years ago, no one was living on the island due to some hurricane destroying everything... Still, 10 years ago, he would have only been 20... maybe they had went to college together? Oh, who knew and who cared? Still, all those 'Mates' were off putting.
"Oh, I see. Your one way stop for everything animal." Kevin said with a slight smile. He wasn't really amused by his own joke or anything. He was just trying to be polite. He followed the crimson' haired male to the back door, letting his mind make a naughty joke or two which just made his previous smile look more geniune than he had intended it to be. "No, I didn't have anything in mind. I just felt like I should own an animal. You know, for when I am stuck inside during raining days or after I am tired of not seeing anyone interesting for a week." He said in half truth. He wouldn't want to admit that he sometime was lonely when Benedikt wasn't there and he knew the man wouldn't be staying with him forever. Things in London would settle down someday. "But.. I'm really not sure what I want... Dogs are too loud, so somethign more quite... but not as quite as cats. They can be quite creepy. Something.... not too dark coloured so we step on it at night, but not as bright that you think pride day evrytime you see it... Nothing nocturnal, I like to sleep. Oh, nothing too fluffy either. Shedding is so offputting. You have anything like that?" Was he being a bit picky? Perhaps. But you try to find an animal that both Kevin and Benedikt would enjoy.

Crimson turned around to look at the male once they had arrived in front of the animals. "I'm sorry, mate. I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before, lad." He shook his head gently and then turned to look back at the animals, trying to ignore the weird feelings and just worry about getting the kind man a pet. He cleared his throat and prepared for his sales speech. "Well, the usual house pets are hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, turtles, fish, and birds, mate." His eyes trailed to the place in the room where each was held as he listed. It was easier to keep track of it all that way. Luckily, his old age hadn't got that part of him, yet. "Now I'll give you the bad about each one and let you decide on the good, mate. I could give you my opinion on how great they are til the bloody cows come home, mate. But, that wouldn't do you any good in the end, love. Hamsters, as you said you didn't want are nocturnal, mate. Next is rabbits which are rather destructive, mate. You already ruled out cats yourself, mate. Dogs are too loud, lad. Guinea pigs are far too noisy, mate. Gerbils are tiny, but pretty good other than that, mate. Ferrets smell something awful, lad. Chinchillas are far too fragile, mate. Turtles are real easy to care for but not too popular, mate. and birds are far too noisy. So, the best out of all the worsts is a gerbil, mate." He stopped and turned back to the man to give him a winning grin. "Does that help you any, mate?" He placed his hands in his pockets and hoped that he hadn't rambled too much. Hopefully he wouldn't scare away another potential customer with his old ramblings. He really needed to learn how to shut up.

 So, he too felt like they had met before? It was't just him? Then, perhaps they had met each other in the past! It really would be the only explanation."You know... I do feel like we've met in the past... You wouldn't have went to NYU, by any chance?" Going to the same college really was the only solution he could came up with. Then again... did anyone from back in those days left him with such a strong impression that he would remember them 15years later? Probably not. No, no, no, no, no, no, maybe, no and no...." Well, out of them all, the only possible one had been the Chinchilla. He had to admit, they were cute... but maybe a little too fluffy for Ben's taste. Then, he saw it. "That...is PERFECT! IT's so cute! And colourfull, but not full of hair and.... such a cute pig...wait...pig..." He frowned and looked back at crimson. Of course, in no-commitment Lawyer's brain, Pig = Sex. Or rather, him after he had cheated on someone or something liek that. He never had paid any attention. "THAT's where we met! Grindhouse, two years ago, new year eve. We slept together. How've you been? Dating anyone since last time?"

Crimson was shaking his head and stroking his nonexistent beard. "Hmmm..." He went to school in Australia, so he was sure it wasn't that. "Well, unless you were part of some tran---" The man had moved from that part of the conversation quickly to something he saw across the room. "Ah, yes, mate. The pig is a lovely creature, mate. It's just not part of the usual household pets, so I left it out, mate." He walked over to where the little guys were and smiled down at them. But, just as he was about to tell him his little tidbit of information on all things pig, the man spoke up again. New Years Eve. That was where he had seen him before. "Ay, I believe you are correct, mate." He turned to face the man and smiled. Oh, he was curious about his love life since him? How darling. "I've been pretty good, mate. Business and life as usual, lad. I haven't been seeing anyone at all, mate. Not even a one nighter since you, mate." Was that too forward of him? Well, the man had asked. If he didn't want to know that, he shouldn't have brought it up.

 "You shouldn't leave it out! I'm taking it." Kevin commented on the pig. He would need a good name for it. Something like... Porkchop McMahon. Then again, Ben would probably annoy him to have a naming right to it. Porkchop Traiylor? Nah, that didn't sound right... Bacon Taiylor? Oh! Wait! Benedacon Traiylor. Yes, he loved it. ******** Ben if he didn't like that name. He was sticking with it. Talking about sticking stuff.... "Awe, you poor man! You poor man! No sex at all? For two years? That's horrible! You should get out more!I work seven day a week, but I always find a little time for fun and so should you!" Kevin said, actually being genuinely sorry for the redhead. If there was one thing he didn't like, were people who were all serious business and never had any fun, so, obviously, if he could help Crimson loosen up a bit (*winkwinknudgnudge*), he would do all that he could! (He would do Crimson again, too)."Hey, me and some friends are having a poker night at my place. No women, just us boys, what do you say? Want to join? Who knows, you might leave with another one night." He said with a laught. Not that he believed Crimson would. Yoakim was all Straight now and his brother seemed pretty in love with that blonde boy. As for himself... Well, not that he would mind, but why make the extra effort when he already had Ben sleeping in his bed?"

Crimson smiled at the man, "My apologies, mate." Who would've ever thought that a person would actually want to own a pig as a pet? Sure, as a farm animal. That was the only real reason why he had them hear anyway. For the farmers of the town, not for nice gentleman wanting a pet. That was just odd. He nodded, not really caring to talk about his love life past the fact that it didn't exist. He didn't need to know how poor of a man he was for not getting any... Enough people had already found out about his urges. But, it wasn't that he didn't get out. He almost started rambling about how he just preferred to take relationships at a slow pace because he was an old fashioned lover, but before he could the man had invited him to a gathering. With poker. Ooooo, poker night. That sounded mighty fun. "I'd love to join you, mate. Just tell me the when and where and I'll be there, mate." His smile grew wider with thinking about actually getting out and mingling with other men. He really needed that. All he really had for companions was Gemma and Celeste and as far as he knew they weren't men.

Kevin lift up the little piglet from where he was and brought it up to his face, like one would do when playing with a little baby. Well, in a sense, Benedacon was a little baby! A Wittle baby piggy~ Awh~ "You're forgiven." Yes, this one was happy lawyer... One happy lawyer who had forgot that in a year or two, this pig would be bigger than a German Sheppard and would be very surprise once he finds out. But for now? Oh, just let the man be happy with his pig.
After about 20 goo goo ga ga and piglet tickles, Kevin finally put the damn animal back on the ground and returned his attention to the other sexy beast in the room, Crimson."Tonight, around 8. At my place. Do you still remember where it is or do you need me to guide you there? You were pretty drunk last time" He said with a faint laugh. Oh yes, drunk he was! Didn't stop him from being a good laid, however.

Crimson smiled at Kevin as he fawned over the pig. It was a pretty cute pig, but he wasn't particularly a pig type. To each their own and all that jazz though. "Do you wanna take him now, mate? Miss. Nikkie Penilli Coat can get you over at the counter if you want to, mate." He pointed to Miss. NPC over in the corner. That brought his attention back to the fact that Celeste wasn't at work. How odd. Miss NPC was only invited to work when Celeste was having some absence. Crimson winked at her pointed down to the ground. That was his little way of letting her know that it was her turn. She'd be under that counter once Kevin left. While he was raising one eyebrow at her he heard Kevin say Yes you are. He smiled, a devilish smile, extended his index finger and mouthed real slowly... Oh... Yes.... You.... Are..... Mate at her. Well, what else were NPCs good for?! Right when he was about to take his finger and rub his n****e at her, Kevin dropped the piglet and was looking back at him.
He turned his head back to Kevin, in perfect time for the man to not notice anything. Well, then again he was a lawyer. But, they just lied about stuff, right? They didn't actually see stuff. Either way, he was smiling at Kevin and thinking about how much fun poker night would be. "Ay, I think I remember, mate. But, I was pretty smashed, mate. Do you have any Bambora, mate? Bambora makes any party fun, lad. ANY party, mate. Any, mate." He smiled, just thinking about actually going out and doing something had him stepping out of his shell. He was one happy man.

♬ Rhapsody Skysong ♫ It had been two years since Rhapsody had been working as vet at the clinic. She breathed in the fresh air since she had been in her house for the past few days. recovering from strep throat. Now she was back and ready to work. Tugging on the reins brought Donnas to a complete halt in front of the clinic. Rhapsody swung her left leg over and dismounted and hitched Donnas to the post. She made sure he had sometihng to eat and drink for the entire day then pushed open the door, the bell chimed signaling her arrival.Rhapsody signed in and smiled whsn she saw someone buying the littel piglet. She had to agree the piglet was cute and she always had high hopes for all the animals here.
" Morning" Rhapsody waved at Crimson and Kevin as she walked to her small office and placed her stuff at the desk and headed out to the cages where the dogs were kept. She began checking up on each one and making sure they had enough water and food in their dishes. Rahpsody was starting to consider letting the dogs out for a good run.

 Of course he wanted to bring the pig with him! Just look at his little piggy face and his little piggy tail and his little piggy feet and his little piggy belly and his little piggy bacon! He made the piglet jump a couple more times in the air, still cooing at it before turning around and seeing Crimson doing…. Weird movement. Oh well, Australian, they were all weird. This is what happen when you have summer in December and winter in July. It made you go crazy in no time and there was nothing to do about it. Why else would Australlia be used as a super jail for criminal back in the days? He brought the pig to miss N.P.C., letting her take care of all the paperwork and whatnot that needed to be done. ”Here, let me write you down some direction…” The Lawyer took a random piece of papper laying around and a pen (he always carried one with him, you never knew when you would be required to sue someone) and started to jolt down quick and easy directions toward his apartment, but then stopped midway. Nah, he could do something simpler than that. ”You know what, I’ll just come pick you tonight. As for the Bamboo, I o not know what it is, so I doubt I have it. You’ll have to bring it yourself if you want it.” He smilled at Crimson before patting him on the back (he was aiming for the shoulder but.. he was tall…), taking his pig, smilling to the new girl that had walked it and left toward the direction of his place, not without cooing more to his walking Bacon…Benedacon.
Exit Kevin
