Keva's Sheriff office

[Verdauga]

Well, then, hang on a second.
*Blows into a whistle.*

*Fido the miniscule cerberus runs up to the viola.*

Watch this! Fido! Play!

*Plays the viola, letting Fido take over the fingering.*

[Booklover]

Let's not even get into that.

[Verdauga]

He's well-trained. And small.

[Booklover]

How minuscule is he?

[Verdauga]

About the size of a young kitten.

[Booklover]

Hmmm.

[Kade Rivok]

*Sleep walks out of the building.*

[shisteer of nothing much]

*grabs Kade by the scruff and drags him back into the building, securing him firmly to chair*

[Kade Rivok]

*Only too late does Teer realize that she accidentally grabbed the Otterbadger plushie.  It sits in the chair, staring blankly ahead.  Clearly a doll of stuffing and fluff, but something about it felt almost... alive.*

[shisteer of nothing much]

*hurriedly lets go of plushie and steps back, putting as much distance between them as possible*

[lass of something much]

That doesn't mean you can play instruments incorrectly!

yeah, Verdie, I'm with Bookie on this one.

[shisteer of nothing much]

He's just being creative. Give him a break.

[Kade Rivok]

*hurriedly lets go of plushie and steps back, putting as much distance between them as possible*

*You find it difficult to remove your paw from the sweet fluff of the plushie, but manage to do so through sheer will.  Even as you back away, you can still feel it calling to you, wishing you to draw closer, wishing you to embrace it's warmth.  It's quite tempting, as it's fur look positively exquisite.*

[shisteer of nothing much]

*grips the wall tightly, trying best to resist the strange pulling feeling emanating from the plushie*
Soft.
I can't.
Warm.
I mustn't.
So fluffy.
No!
It looks so nice to hug.
I've seen what happens to beasts who even touch it.
It won't harm me.
Don't go near it.
Come, I'm sure it's perfectly safe.
Silence, you fool!
It would never be so rude to me.
I said silence!
*slowly releases wall, as if in a trance*
Stop!
*moves closer to plushie*
No! *chains self to the wall and locks it with a combination padlock, then changes combination at random without looking*
But... fluffy.
*snarls* No. It will destroy you.

[lass of something much]

*shoots the plushie*
