Clarissa watches Dave run the bath with interest. It should be fairly clear that she has not bathed in a tub before.

"Okay."

Clarissa replies, already removing her "clothing" and tossing it to the floor.

Dave comes back in with his eyes covered with his left hand. His other hand had one of his button up green plaid pajama shirts and green plaid pajama pants. They'd probably be big on Clarissa, but comfy and will smell like Dave.
It should be noted that Dave seems to always smell of chocolate chip cookies.
Dave opens the nearby cupboard in the bathroom and takes out a towel. He puts it off to the side for Clarissa.
"Do you need any help?"
It should also be noted that his house is big because his family constantly visits him and that the tub is deep enough for the water to be up to your shoulders and that it is big enough for two people.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

His family visits often! With Clarissa staying here, that can't go wrong.

I can see it now...

"David! Your 'tenant' just swallowed King!"

"Just be happy that your kids aren't missing."

"Has anyone seen Uncle Bob? I could have sworn that he was standing right here just a minute ago!"

"Clarissa! Get over here! Now!"

Clarissa giggles when Dave enters the bathroom with his hands over his eyes. The heat has worked wonders on her mood.

"You're silly, Dave!"

A pause.

Evidence suggests that Clarissa didn't figure out how to make use of the soap or shampoo. She appears to have scrubbed herself clean.

"You don't have to cover your eyes right now. I mean, we almost mated yesterday."

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
Dave imagined a totally different scenario.

Dave gets a Ninja high five from his dad while Clarissa is in Valaira form.

Dave uncovers his eyes.
"You make a very good point. Do you want any help with putting on these pajama's?"
Is Clarissa in Clarissa form or Valaira form?

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

Well, Clarissa's cantankerous personality has faded away. That is good, right?

She is also in Valaira form right now. It can be assumed that, unless otherwise indicated, she is in this form. She has to look "normal" in order to blend into "civilized society," after all.

"Sure, I guess."

The dripping Clarissa shrugs as she stands up and begins to shake the water off of her body as though she were a wet dog. This may send drops of water flying all over the room.

She is new to this. Cut her some slack.

[Mindfreak]

Dave sighs and tries to dry her off with the towel.
"By the way, are you still all lusty and stuff?" he asked rather hopefully. Perhaps he could still get laid.
Once she's dried he'll help her get into his pajamas. It is clear that he's enjoying it.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

"That's forward."

"My set of vices are complete so they kinda offset eachother. For example, I won't devour a truckload of food a day anymore. I also won't get super clingy all the time."

"It is still early in the morning. You still have things to do today. It wouldn't be good if you were too exhausted to complete your tasks now would it?"

Short Version: Tonight they'll curtain. As for now, they're going to enjoy a different type of fun.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive He smiles. "How much food will you eat then?"

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

"The amount that an average human consumes in one day, generally. Other days it might be a little more than that. Some days I won't eat anything at all."

Clarissa responds, returning Dave's smile. She'll take care of herself on those days when she needs a little extra something. She was designed to be a huntress. She can fend for herself.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive "Well, there's zeti bake in the fridge and fresh fruit and veggies and cereal and other things too. I'm going to tell them that I hunted you down and you got away. Sound good?"

[Murkus]

[Siberian Tundra]

Yes, yes it is. ((And it is an Archvile from Doom II.))

Speaking of that Archvile, it's not moving much, but it is still alive. It slowly raises it arm once more, using the rest of its spare energy for one last purpose.

Boris, in the meantime, hastily gets up, grabbing the shotgun again, aiming it at one of the two remaining dogs.

Also, remember that one dog, that got shot in the face and clearly died? It's getting back up now. In fact, all of the previously dead hounds are getting back up and snarling at the two.

Cornelia's eyes widen, and it's not long before she's trying to kill them again! She tries to put a bullet in the nearest dog's brain before sending two more toward the creature's friend.

[134 Ninja Drive]

"Or you could just tell them that you are studying me in my natural habitat and avoid having your reputation tarnished. That controlled environment doesn't help them measure the true potential of any creature. Locking them up makes it harder to pinpoint where and how they excel."

Clarissa shrugs.

"I'd be willing to come in for testing periodically. Of course, you are the one that this would affect the most so it is your call."

She'll have to cook something for Dave today. The man needs more meat in his diet.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
"I'll decide on something on the way there I guess. You will still be here when I get back, right? You won't just run off?"

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

Clarissa is puzzled! She raises an eyebrow and asks,

"What would running away achieve?"

She is perplexed! Best to either answer her question with "Nothing." or nothing.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
He smiles again.
"Nothing."
He shrugs on a leather jacket.
"I need to get back to work. Now that I'm not needed to watch you, I'll be back here at 5 p.m."
He turns and looks at her.
"Is there anything you need to know before I leave?"

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

"No. I'm good."

Clarissa attempts to kiss Dave on the cheek.

"Thanks for being such a good person."

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
Dave fails his dodge check! He is kissed on the cheek!
"Oh....it's nothing really....."
He takes out his wallet and takes a key and a 5 twenty dollar bills. He hands them to her.
"Here's an extra house key and $100. In case you want to go shopping or buy groceries. My fridge isn't exactly full of great ingredients."

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

"Okay Dave."

"If anyone gives you any trouble, just call my name."

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
Dave begins to leave through the door that goes into the garage.
"Oh, and don't touch the motorcycle under the cloth in the garage! It's haunted!"
His motorcycle is heard driving off.
Clarissa is now alone in Dave's house. And with Dave not coming back for almost 8 hours, now would be a good time for her to go through his stuff.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

This would be the perfect time to rifle through Dave's material possessions if Clarissa cared about such things! Clarissa's mind doesn't work that way, though. She is both naive and far too trusting of those she considers to be "good people."

Instead of tearing Dave's house apart, Clarissa heads out to buy some foodstuffs! She then explores all of the rooms of the house that she can access. She then flicks on the tv by accident, watches it for a few hours, and finally saunters into the backyard and falls asleep.

That is where she shall remain until Dave returns. She has taken the form of a panther so that she can trap more heat inside of her body.

So warm!

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
As this is the Nexus, and time works funny, she'll hear his motorcycle from farther away then she probably would normally because she's in a panther form. His backyard also has a large fence around it.
He drives into the garage and cuts the motor. This will give her more then enough time to get in place if she wishes to pounce on him or something.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

Clarissa doesn't really notice the sound of the motorcycle pulling up. She is too busy sleeping. She does roll over onto her right side, though. Her face should be facing the door. Dave's green pajamas are strewn about the grass not too far away...

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
Dave walked into the house from the garage and took of his shoes and hanged up his jacket. He walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Clarissa! You in here?" he asked loud enough to be heard from in the backyard.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

The oven has probably been turned on. Mmmm. Smells like steak. The black panther slowly and silently stalks into the house. Upon spotting Dave, she begins to purr.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive
He turns around and sees the panther.
"Holy crap it's a panther!"
The food smells good though.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

The black panther attempts to approach Dave and rub herself against Dave's legs.

"Hi Dave!"

Panther-Clarissa chimes.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive Dave reaches down to scratch her behind the ears. "I can't give you a good hello while you're a panther...."

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

The panther glows in a faint violet light before its form blurs. Suddenly, Clarissa is standing in front of Dave wearing his green pajamas that I could have sworn were lying on the grass in the backyard just a moment ago...

"So how did your day go?"

Clarissa inquires in that singsong voice of her's. She also attempts to hug Dave. Simply adorable.

[Mindfreak]

134 Ninja Drive Dave hugs her back. "Work was suprisingly boring for once. I spent most of the day thinking about you. Everyone thinks you escaped too. By the way, are you making steak? It smells delicous!" he asked, his hands slightly wandering.

[The Alexandrian]

[134 Ninja Drive]

"That's so sweet!"

"I'm cooking steak, mashed potatoes, and corn-on-the-cob. There's homemade ice cream in the freezer and a plate of cookie-brownies in the fridge."

Cookie-brownies! Oh boy!

Wait. What are cookie brownies?
