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 ]

[ 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... ]

[ 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.

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.

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.

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

[ Certainly there's no harm in sharing such information with a projection? Even if these are all separate minds, what could telling this man about his cats affect... anything? ]

My cats, my patients, my life in general. Relocation is a difficult task at the best of times.

Sure, displaced from everything... Seems kind of lonely and all kinds of terrible, being asked to get used to something you shouldn't have to go through.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

It is not as lonely as it could be. My best mate is here, as well as his- [ Yusuf waves his hand, ] friend, accomplice, headache- whatever it is they are calling themselves now.

But I have responsibilities- patients who depend on me and people who... need me. Hopefully, you understand?

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, I do.

So you're a doctor?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Self-employed pharmaceutical manufacturer. [ True... mostly. ]

And yourself?

[awfullymodern.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're pretty smart.

I'm in between jobs, right now.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I even like to believe it.

Oh. Well what is it that you used to do, mister...?
