week 5 day 1

[greatdeduction]

[A familiar face is coming up beside Nero in this crowded Star Circle - Sholmes stands, nodding at him.]

Is this place a bit too cramped for your liking, Mr. Turner? It is quite overwhelming to be in a city.

[perfectdistance]

A really different city than what I'm used to.

[He will... move a little closer to Sholmes, Disce wrapped loosely around his neck today. It's easier to avoid running into people like this.]

[greatdeduction]

[Irene is in crow form on his shoulder, to avoid being stepped on by passerby.]

Oh, for sure. No rules to keep everyone quiet. [A hum.] If you'd like, we could find someplace quieter.

[perfectdistance]

[It's West all over again, and it's a little too much for him.]

Find somewhere quiet?

[greatdeduction]

Yes, actually!

[Holding out a hand.]

Follow me.

[perfectdistance]

[Disce... flicks her tongue out to consider the hand. Nero takes it after just a moment of consideration.]

[greatdeduction]

[He smiles brightly when the other takes his hand, and he's just going to lead him out of the crowd!]

[He's taking them down the streets in the direction of the park.]

[perfectdistance]

[He relaxes a little bit, as they move towards the park.]

Nice to have a slice of green 'round here.

[greatdeduction]

Isn't it? I admit, I am used to the hustle and bustle of the city, but a breath of fresh air is what anyone in their right mind needs.

[perfectdistance]

[Nero prefers the frigid cold, but he understands why people would be fairly put off with that these days.]

Have a place like this back home?

[greatdeduction]

Yes, actually! The name's Hyde Park. A grand park on a grand scale. It is one of four royal parks in the city.

This one is smaller, but quite good. I think you'll like it.

[perfectdistance]

Royal parks? Got a kingly blessin' for those or somethin'?

[greatdeduction]

Sort of. They used to be recreational areas only used by the royal family to hunt in, but have been turned into public parks for the enjoyment of the populace.

They're very beautiful.

[perfectdistance]

Huh.

Must be huge parks too.

[If people can go hunting there?

Also cannot relate, there is so much green between each city and state.]

Would be nice to see 'em one day.

[greatdeduction]

Yes. Hyde Park itself is around 350 acres.

[He smiles.]

It would be nice. I could show you all the best places around town! My treat.

[perfectdistance]

If we could... I'd show you around the City of Rain, once we get outta all this.

[greatdeduction]

Oh. I'd really like that.

[And bringing him to a bench! It's nice and quiet over here, though there's people walking around, eating, having picnics, having a good day.]

Better?

[perfectdistance]

[Disce slithers off of his neck and transforms into her leopard cat form.]

A lot.

[greatdeduction]

I'm glad.

[He'll just sit back in the bench, pleased. Irene jumps off his shoulder to shift into a hare, curling in his lap.]

So...pepper, huh?

[PEPPER KIN]

[perfectdistance]

It's in case Brad runs his mouth or he's bein' real annoying.

[greatdeduction]

Eh?

So you...just throw pepper at him?

[perfectdistance]

He teleports away when he sneezes.

[greatdeduction]

[he



snorts loudly at that]

He what?!

[perfectdistance]

It's the bizarre injury from the last time he fought the moon. When he sneezes he just ends up somewhere else.

Kinda convenient for me.

[greatdeduction]

You get pepper teleportation by fighting the moon.

[wow]

That is convenient. If only we could send anyone we didn't want to talk to away like that.
