FRIDAY, post-investigation.

[ after the "holy shit, five bodies, oh my god" has died down as much as it will considering the... state of said bodies, magnus will track down veronica. he'd been busy running away when she'd been puking in the foyer.

he has alex the baby tiger in one arm when he approaches her. ]

Hey.

Comments

[asswipe]

[That is fair. She wishes she could have been running away when she, herself, puked in the foyer. She looks like she's been crying for a while, though, even if she isn't violently ill like earlier.]

... Hey, partner. Nice, um, nice tiger.

[wearys]

Thanks. Wanna hold him? [ he'll hold alex the tiger out to take, in the hopes that the Soft Fur will improve her life, honestly. ] It's been... a day.

[asswipe]

It... sure has. [Kind of an understatement, tbh.

She reaches out to take the tiger, but pauses halfway through.]

He won't bite? I've never actually... touched any of the animals from the menagerie.

[wearys]

Not unless you're a mouse or a detached leg. He can get feisty if you tease him, but he won't attack, I don't think.

[ alex the tiger does reach out with a paw to reach for veronica's hands. pet him, girl human. ]

[asswipe]

[she's going to pet the heck out of alex the tiger, but also—]

... Uh, pardon me?

[WHAT DID ALEX THE TIGER DO???]

[wearys]

Oh, he just ate a mouse in the menagerie when I took him from the enclosure. And then tried to, uh. Gnaw on Waver's leg that I found. I didn't let him?

[ it's fine, everything's fine? ]

[asswipe]

[...]

Jesus Christ, what the fuck.

[wearys]

Yeah. Like I said, it's been a day. Did you have just as much fun?

[asswipe]

... I found Ion and Natsuo, and... [hm.] Yet another guy in my life went up in flames, so, um. Define "fun."

[wearys]

... Oh. Shit, I'm sorry. I meant "fun" sarcastically, but that's genuinely shitty.

[ here he was just having an almost nice day hanging out with animals, while veronica Suffered. ]
