3 ♊ Take your dark days

[iitrebel]

Who: Artolo Apemis and any Pride who will put up with him for an extended period of time
What: Art is going lion shopping. This is not slang of any sort. You've been invited.
When: Throughout the day of February 11th
Where: Roman's Animal Sanctuary
Warnings: None planned. Feel free to treat this as a mingle log

For there to be any extended space in Vista City, things tend to be... crowded. It's the obvious solution when a city gets big enough. Roman's Animal Sanctuary has the delightful honor of having established a space the size of a baseball field some time before the city swallowed it up. The problem became when they needed to expand, but simply couldn't.

The solution: Get with the times and build upwards.

With high ceilings on all floors meant to cycle through different times of day in accordance with actual daytime, enormous windows, and certain measures taken to mimic appropriate weather, Roman's is half a zoo (to help fund its upkeep) besides just being an animal sanctuary for various abused or abandoned animals of the more exotic sort.

This includes lions.

Coincidentally, lions are why you're here.

Somehow, one Artolo Apemis has invited you to go what he called "lion shopping" and that, as it turns out, is not slang even remotely. Roman's been alerted of this high profile visit from a bunch of Pride jackasses, and is more than happy to allow the musicians to check out some of the staff areas behind the scenes instead of just being stuck in the public areas. Yes, you can feed the publicly approved llamas and goats plus large animals with sharp teeth. Under strict supervision, of course.

You can tell me, I've had my share of weird and unpleasant things happening to me since I was in high school. Not my first rodeo as the saying goes.

[psyvampexperiment]

Are you all right? That last text was spelled erratically.

I think you're on to something, re: being out of my depth.

Only asking out of concern. The extra i's you're typing made me wonder if something worse is happening, like something medical?

I've had my own share of drunken clusterfreaks myself.

Remind some time to tell the story involving the goat in the bathtub or the time I woke up in pool cabana that I didn't remember my neighbor having.

Take your time: I'll leave some pancakes for you.

[iitrebel]

[psyvampexperiment]

For the pancakes or the misadventures? Or both, dare I ask?

[iitrebel]

Always a fair reason, accepting the presence of someone who shares food. I'm pleased to meet your approval!
