The current influx of, ah, individuals- while not necessarily unusual, is still considered a deviation from status quo, yes? 

[ Muttering about time and the coinciding of the start of the month with this sudden influx-- there is a pause as he considers whether he really wants to make this a public announcement or if he wants to wander The City by himself.

Why not make use of the hundreds of eyes at his disposal? ]

I assume that everyone has their hands full, so I will make this brief. If anyone happens to spy a chubby grey tabby with yellow eyes, or an all white cat with green eyes, would you please contact me?

Much appreciated.



[ ooc: anything goes! Yusuf is cool to just talk about cats tbh ]

[ That? Is a motherfucking cat.

...sort of. ]

Mrrrrrrrrowr.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Oh my.

[ Isn't that an ocelot? Or, it might be too small to be an ocelot- a margay perhaps?

Either way, the glee Yusuf feels at the purring creature is unparalleled. ]

Where did you come from little guy?

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

I'm missing my dogs.

You really think they'll show?

Have you tried making posters? We could make posters and put them up at strategic locations around [ a short pause ] wherever this is, in case anyone's seen them.

Right, so, are you the coffee boy? Can I get a super skinny latte? Make it a small - we're pigging out today. It's only five of us sharing.

Have you tried saying the magic words, 'here, kitty kitty' into deep dark crevices, because I hear that's the sure-fire method for finding stray pets.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

What kind of dogs?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

I think it is more than possible.

Look at the pattern, my friend. Everyone, or... thing, that has shown up, seems to know- or think they know someone in The City, yes?

Unfortunately I do not have a picture of any of them on me, and I am afraid my drawing skills begin and end at chemical structures. If I put up a missing cat poster, every stray in The City would show up at my mate's flat.

[ Which really wouldn't be any different than in Mombasa, but Yusuf isn't getting into that. ]

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

Two fox terriers... They were just with me, I'm not sure where they could've gone.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Sorry-

[ That is a... lot of misconception for the speed at which she voiced all that. Yusuf blinks down at the device and doesn't exactly know where to start first. ]

How do you share a- Are you entirely sure you need more caffeine?

[signatures]

Ah, that's true, isn't it?

I'll keep an eye out.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Good advice, if I had lost them while in The City.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Oh, those are the little ones, yes?

You must be specific- were they here when you got into The City?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Please do.

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

[ A small laugh. ] Right, they're pretty small.

I- Well, they were in the car with me, actually. [ The car that is not with him... ]

[yokoonomuch.livejournal.com]

I could try to draw something? [ A little bit of fake modesty creeps into her voice as she goes on: ] You may not know this, but I did found the first ever Art Appreciation Society for my rehab group.

[investigates.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. Part of the all the worldly possessions you owned that you didn't get the chance to take with you?

[ a beat. then: ]

And please tell me the tourism board has a better name for this place than the ominous title of The City.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

[ His stomach sinks with the man's tone. So much for that shred of hope. ]

I would not worry. Surely as soon as this weekend is over, you will be returned to your dogs.

audio;

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

I certainly did not know that.

[ sdkfsajsldas s-so cute... ]

I would appreciate the help, but surely you are looking for someone? I would hate to impose.

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

The whole weekend? I really hope not. It's just pretty cold out; I don't think the dogs would do too well stuck in the car for that long. Especially by themselves.

No offense to you or anything, of course. It seems really nice here. Wonder what George would think... find something to gripe about, maybe.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Well generally you cannot take- [ Oh. Right. Best not to alert the projections to their prolonged presence... ] Tell me, what are you under the impression is happening here?

We have a tourism board? [ Does this answer any questions as to exactly how long he's been here? ]

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

No offense taken. Believe me, I understand where your worry comes from. If I could, I would send you back to your dogs.

[ A put upon sigh, his hand going to rub at the back of his head- mussing his curls. Few things get to Yusuf, and it's annoying when they manage the feat. ] But we're stuck until I can figure this out.

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

That's awfully kind of you to say, but I guess you feel the same way about your cats, right?
