[PRP] I Crush Everything [ Ofelia + Jake ]

[Rown]

It had taken Melvin to remind Ofelia that she actually...had some minipets in the lab that she'd brought back from that whole "Fright Night" thing a few weeks back. The event before the horrible thing with the haunted house, if she could recall, and the idea of seeing one of the pets (at least) prompted the teen to finish up training early and head towards the labs for duty of some sort. Granted she was supposed to go there anyway, something about proper rotation that she clearly was ignoring, and when the redheaded teen entered she went over to a cage that had something in it that she vaguely recognized.

The weird onion-scented pet looked at Ofelia with its squinty eyes as she tapped on the cage, and when one of the life techs stared at her and basically told her to knock it off and just open it, she let the cage door open and the creature stepped out. It shook itself, let out a small roar, and proceeded to jump into the sun trainee's arms.

Her eyes started to water, oh holy crap did they water.

At least she could spend some time with the creature, feeding it and what not. Maybe it would be a smart move to even name it, or properly list it on the charts as belonging to her? Those were awesome starts.

here we go!

The best thing about the onion pet, who was still sadly nameless as Ofelia was petting it along its back and face, was that the strong onion scent it seemed to want to give off only happened when it was. . .startled, perhaps? It was something to note, write down on its chart, that when it got calm and got happy the scent went away entirely and she was able to touch the creature without fear of her eyes melting out of her head. Her hands were also oddly onion-scent free, she did have to sniff them as part of what she'd write down on the chart, and the teen was about to do just that when a loud sigh entered her ears.

And then another sigh, and a groan? Was someone trying to get her attention or where they dying in the labs? It could have gone either way because well, Deus, and she started to look around but stopped as soon as her eye landed on an overly familiar face with overly familiar teal hair standing at the doorway. She hadn't seen this face since their spar together, in which she totally tore him apart, but Ofelia managed a warm greeting grin and motioned Jake over.

"Hey there kiddo, com'on in. Ya here ta work wit' the minis too?" That much was obvious, or he could just be walking around, and Ofelia was about to say something else when she grunted instead. Her onion pet decided it wanted to climb atop her head and so it had, and it mounted itself with back paws on her shoulders, front of the top of her head, and let out a little roar.

The roar was adorable.

"Seriously, are ya gonna come over here an' lemme explain what yer supposed ta do or are ya gonna stand there like a little girl in a candy shop?" Ofelia rolled her eye at Jake's lack of verbal anything, and his motions were annoying to her. The onion creature on her head roared again, and hissed because it could. Either it didn't like Jake or was trying to be fierce, but mostly it was just being super adorable and the redhead was falling more and more in love. She'd never had a pet as a kid, maybe this was what it was supposed to feel like.

The wonderful feeling of having a creature that smelled like onions on your head.

Yeah, probably not. "Also, shouldn' ya properly greet me?"

Now she was just being a d**k.

"Awww, an' yer still jus' the cutest bleedin' v****a Ah've seen in days." Ofelia pressed her hands together in a mock admiration pose, and the teen got up and started to move towards Jake. If he wanted to try something he was welcome, her body was well passed healed now and she could easily take him without her weapons, though it was hard to find her spooky or intimidating with a green minipet on her head.

The onion!pom hissed as they drew closer, its eyes narrowing and the faint scent of onion starting to leak from its body. Ofelia was used to onion scent from cooking, so she could ignore it. Also, shower were totally a thing she could do so it wasn't the end of the world.

"An' Ah was gonna explain it 'cause, yanno, there are big words in the rules an' Ah was worried ya might not understand 'em wit'out help."

And then the onion!pom, in its wonderful glory, spit into Jake's eyes with wonderful onion-laced venom-like spit.

Ofelia was so proud,  

[Rown]

"Says the dude who smashed the cages with his elbow." Ofelia reached up and patted the onion!pom with her hand, effectively soothing it and stopping its roaring and hissing at Jake. The creature placed a paw on her hand and she lifted it down and into her arms before setting it on the ground. It sniffled the floor a bit, mewed up at Ofelia, and started after the others at a slow and steady trot.

"Com'on, let's get 'em back b'for someone notices. Or ya can stay here an' wait fer the hunters ta return an' explain properly what happened. Ah'm sure they're inclined ta believe a brand new trainee."

[Rown]

"Why are you seriously so dramatic? Yer actin' like the world is endin' 'cause ya can't see outta an' eye or two? Grow the ******** up." Ofelia had little sympathy for people who cried about their eyes or whatever else mostly because she was...missing an eye. Forever. Her tone wasn't cruel though, wasn't harsh in a way like she was telling him he was a kid, but rather it was one of a person giving some stern advice about life. Also, Ofelia.

When the onion!pom noticed the others it started after them, mew-barking the entire way, and as the others watched it approach they hissed, scattered, and managed to make it through the door before Ofelia could catch them. She'd gotten a small hold on the fire one, only to have it singe her shield and force her to let go, and the teen was on the floor where she'd lunged at it. Aside from that miss, which prompted her own pom to come up and lick her face, she'd seen where they went.

With a sigh, and a pat to the pom's head, Ofelia pushed herself to her feet and glanced out the door. "Looks like we gotta get out there an' catch them. Are we stickin' tagether fer safety an' ease in numbers or do ya wanna try an' be long ranger an' be unable ta find 'em wit'out mah pet's help?"

[Rown]

"No, we're not muzzlin' 'em an' we're stickin' tagether. If ya get lost an' get hurt then mah a** is grass, ya hear me?" Ofelia moved close to Jake so that if he tried to run . . .she could easily tackle him and take him down without trouble. She'd been practicing at her spars with take downs and other things, so poor Jake would be the first to see the fruit of that training if he pissed her off. Her onion!pom seemed to be agreement as it churred and started off, running in the direction one of them seem to have gone. "Keep up or Ah'll make ya wear ladies clothin' fer a week."

It was not a threat.
