[When Tito awakes, he finds that he not only has his head in a sink, but he is also covered in several small slips of paper. And, being that he clearly remembers falling asleep in his bed last night, covered in blankets, the shock of this rude awakening is definitely pretty significant.

And so, a yowl and a crash sound throughout this here bathroom as he scrambles to try to figure out what in the world is going on and he only succeeds in tripping over a toilet. And then there is a pretty major pain shooting through what he is thinking is his shoulder blade but shoulder blades should not hurt that much and where is his shirt and where did these pants come from and what is going on oh god.

This is not a good start to his day.]

[Eventually, Tito finds his way into the village proper and makes his way around to try to find where everything is. The entire time, he looks like he's expecting someone or something to jump out and attack him. Because, hey, let's face it, maybe something will. This is some weird place where strange people stick wings on your back and then set you running around loose in only pants.

Which is the most major problem here. No shirt just means it's way too obvious how skinny and scarred he is, and that's making him entirely too self-conscious. Need a shirt, need a shirt. After that, time to find a clinic to see if there's any kind of wing pain killer. Wings have no business hurting so badly, in his opinion.

It's fairly late in the evening before he's retreated into the Welcome Center, finding a nice corner to flip through the Beginner's Guide. And once he's read through it, he tentatively starts a message over the journal.]

[Voice]

Uh... hello? Am I doing this right? Can anyone hear me? I... [Pause. He clears his throat.] My name's Tito. I, uh. I guess I'm new here? I mean, if this isn't all some kind of really weird dream.

[Because he would really be relieved if he woke up in his own bed right about now.]

Uh. This's gonna sound a little weird, I know, but I didn't see one earlier... Is there a pet shop around here anywhere? Or somewhere that would have stuff for, y'know. For dogs? [Crap, that's saying too much. Abort, abort!] I mean, uh, I saw that pets from back home can show up here and if the family dog's gonna show up, I. I'd prefer not to just... y'know... Not have anything ready for him.

[Lame, Rodriguez. So lame. Like people won't look at you weird for that. Small cough.]

Thanks ahead of time.

There isn't!! So, are you going to start one?

[That. Was unexpected. Tito lets out a weak laugh. Little girl, you caught him off-guard.]

I, uh. I guess I could? I mean, if we really need one.

[Not that he means to stay here long enough to find out if they really do, but hey.]

I'd probably have to find out what kinds of pets everyone has, though.

Well, sure! Lots of people have pets, so we SHOULD have one, you know? I think you should do it! It'd give you something to do!

Well, lots! Some people have pokemon which are not pets but might need stuff from that kind of store, and there are some earth cats and dogs, a few dragons, a flying bison, a flying lemur, a fire ferret, and at least one cheagle!!

Also something Loki says is a dog but which might be a monster?

Oh, and there are horses. And Biri, who is a...bird thing?

[Pokemon. Dragons. Flying bison. Fire ferret. He's not even sure what a cheagle is. He should probably be really impressed about the Pokemon, especially after how much his cousins were into it when they were little, but there is one single word which he zeroed in on in that entire thing.

And he gives another, definitely weaker laugh. He can feel himself going pale.]

There's a... a monster here? Like a monster dog?

Well, it breathes fire.

Also, it looks reaaaaaaaaally angry?

Maybe that's just what their dogs look like, though.

[Fire-breathing demon dog. Fire-breathing. Demon. Dog. As if he hasn't had enough crazy evil canids in his life already. Tito runs both hands through his hair, swallows thickly a couple of times, and tries not to sound half as horrified as he feels.]

It's. It's not like. Eight feet tall or something, uh. Is it...?

Not when I last saw it! I mean, I dunno if it can get bigger or not?

I wouldn't worry about it, though. Thori seems pretty well behaved, I guess.

ANYWAY, you should start up a store for sure! The Art Club would help you make a sign and things!

Oh. Good. [Yeah not really it's still a fire-breathing demon dog. What is wrong with this place?

At least this kid doesn't seem too afraid of it. Which. Sort of helps. Kind of. ~~Not really.~~ Forcing a smile back onto his face and trying to ignore that his brain keeps screaming fire-breathing demon dog!! at him, he nods.]

Er, yeah. I might... look into it. We had a lot of animals back home, so I guess I might as well step up. Y'know, unless someone else does first.

I think if anyone was gonna they would've already!

It's going to be our sixth cycle now, y'know.

I guess you've got a point there! [Good lord, Rodriguez, you are getting talked into starting a business by a girl who can't be more than eleven years old. Or. Does it even count as a business in a place with no currency?]

Do the cycles go by years, or are they shorter?

[Please don't say they're measured in amounts longer than years.]

I think they're just years. [ ...SHE'S...NOT ACTUALLY SURE? ]

[That uncertainty is vaguely worrying, but he'll just go with it anyway.]

Heh. Guess we'll find out, then, huh?

I'm sure anyone who's been here longer would prob'bly know, though!

Y'know, I bet you're right. Maybe if we ask around?

Yep, definitely! Sifu Raine'd probably know, or Albert.
