    Nope.

    No foxes.

    At least none to Rebo's knowledge.

    "A housecat with wings, hmm? Oh certainly possible," Lando the wizard replies! "Though if you want it to actually fly that's a different story. That is a bit harder. To make a cat fly it needs more than just wings after all. Many physiological changes."

    So many changes.

    "Or it could simply borrow a magical organ from dragons. They shouldn't be able to fly either."

    The little boy smiles at the kind words. "Thank you, mister!" and with that he takes the cage and goes wandering off to deliver the animal.

    She stands up. Her movements are smooth, accompanied only by the whir of gears and a faint hiss of steam.

    Without another word, the man ambles off, and it isn't too long before he's standing in front of...

    The Mental Menagerie

    A rather large woman stands just beside the door, wearing a brown frock and a wide, generous smile, "Oh Waldorf, Dahling, a customer at last, aren't you just a sight. Come, come in, what type of experience are you looking to have?" She's trying to usher the girl-bot into the store quickly, before anyone has a change of heart.

    "I guess I didn't think it through that thoroughly. Still, magic exists for a reason. I think borrowing that magical dragon organ would work for this, as long as it isn't related to breathing fire as well..." Xalicus didn't expect one thing to justify all improbable things about dragons, but it didn't hurt to be cautious.
    When in doubt, use cute little dragons.

    Grace glances up to the customer in question, a polite smile ready, and meets the surprise with her own. "Takara? I thought..." Grace's smile turns genuine, and she reaches out to give Takara hug, carefully holding the pearl in one hand. "I'm glad to see you again."

    "Me? Nah, I haven't been around long." He looks down at a spot next to her. "Mind if I take that spot? Anyway, I've only been here a little. In fact, I only just got back from deadtime recently. How about you?"

    [Neon Coliseum]

    Takara returns the embrace warmly. "It is good to see you as well." She smiles. "I had not hoped to see anyone I knew. I have been gone for a long time."

    Mental Menagerie

    The lady tisks and gives Waldorf a playful slap across the shoulder as he passes her, sending him stumbling. "Forgive the old fuddy duddy, he's very forgetful before lunch. Allow me to welcome you to the mental menagerie. We deal in memories, skill sets, emotions, wistful flights of fancy and such. Here you can find almost any thought worth thinking, ready to be transplanted into your brain at little to no cost. You pick a memory from our extensive list of fine products and then we'll give it to you in exchange for a copy of one of your memories of equal or greater value to add to the list. That way we always stay current in these tough economic times. We employ plenty of "talent scouts" like Waldorf here to find interesting people, because lets face it, interesting folk lead interesting lives!" Her speech is enthusiastic and unrehearsed, and she rushes through it excitedly.

    The fat lady perks up even more, "I wouldn't worry about us getting into your head sweetie, that's our job after all. But if it's an issue, you can talk with our sales consultant Celena, who handles alternate forms of payment." She bellows into the back room, healthy set of opera lungs on her, calling for the consultant, "Celena, number four up front!"

    Quick as anything a little girl in a set of pink pyjamas appears next to the hulking woman, "And how will miss be paying today?"

    Aleph watches the interaction between the Mental Menagerie employee and the robot girl curiously, but when she realizes the knight is speaking to her again, she swiftly redirects her attention. "Oh, um, go ahead. I've only been here a few days, but it seems... nice." And really really weird, but she doesn't feel like she should say that out loud.


    [Neon Coliseum]

    "I wasn't sure I'd see you again. Where did you go?" Grace asks as she steps back, smiling, then holds Takara's pearl out to her, along with a nice stack of tokens. "And here. It's high time I repaid your hospitality in kind."

    Lando gives a wheezy old-man laugh. "Oh dear Paradise Planet no. No, it wouldn't breath fire unless you specifically ask that it can. We pride ourselves here at the Barkhouse Bestiary in providing precisely the custom-made companion that our guests desire."

    That's good.

    Divaonar walks the halls of Mallside, a wicker cage with a jackalope inside in his arms. He's headed toward a nearby candy store that had specially ordered the animal. Apparently it's supposed to be a mascot of sorts?

    The Knight takes a seat, placing his helmet beside him, letting out a breath as he stretched and then settled in. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes, I think this might be the most beautiful place in all existence. And sometimes it's hard to think of it that way." He tilts his head to look at her. "Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?"

    "I was... apart from everything else, for a while." Takara rubs the back of her neck awkwardly, realizing that her words don't really explain anything. "I withdrew into myself, and into solitude. It is something that has happened to me before."

    Her cheeks color slightly, "Oh, but... it was just a little thing, but if you insist, I will accept your gift."

    The girl attempts to pat the suit reassuringly on the knee, "We make copies, after all, it wouldn't be a very fair trade if we stole your memories and only gave you copies of the ones we have in stock." More twirling, and a failed handstand follow this.

    "Umm... Nevada. That's where I lived, at least. I think. I don't really know where I was for a while though. There's a lot that's hard for me to remember." Which, to anyone who gets to know her, will seem quite odd- Aleph has a rather phenomenal memory. "I don't know if that name will mean anything to you though." She's been doing a bit of reading on Nexus, after all, and realizes just how unlikely it is for anyone to be from the same place she is from.


    [Neon Coliseum]

    "It was worth much more than a few plastic tokens." Grace says seriously, pressing the pearl and tokens into Takara's hands. "I know we didn't talk long, or even meet more than once, but it meant a great dealt to me."

    "So, let me try and give you a little fun in return, okay?" Grace says, smiling a little.

    "Nope! Never heard of Nevada." The knight glanced up at the ceiling. "I haven't been home in forever. We called it Aria. It was a beautiful place. I still miss it, sometimes."

    Takara nods slightly and smiles, then takes her pearl and the tokens, looking them over briefly. "So, you offer these tokens to these shrines, and then the game plays?" She gestures at the arcade machines around her.

    "Good to know. Being set on fire by a flying feline isn't an experience I think I'd enjoy." Xalicus was more confident now that he was sure his new kitty wouldn't be too dangerous. "Of course, it'd make an interesting contrast to that canid who tried to freeze me earlier today...

    "Now, I'm not particular about the personality as long as it's tolerable. So probably not a vicious, wanting-to-devour-me-alive type."

    "What was it like there? Was it safe?" Aleph asks curiously crossing her legs to get a better seat on the edge of the fountain. She'd better be careful though, or she'll fall right in and probably dye her stark white outfit orange.


    [Neon Coliseum]

    Grace gives a chuckle. "Well yes, but they aren't shrines. I can see why you'd say that though. I mean, their shapes aren't entirely off. There is no magic or divine power to though, it's all technological. Don't ask me how it works, because I really can't explain it." She shrugs, holding up her hands. Grace was never all that good with nonmagical devices.

    The kitty would be just as dangerous as he orders it to be! That's the upside to this store. They can get just what their customers want.

    "Ice dogs? How dreadful. The Nexus can be a dangerous place my friend, very dangerous indeed," Lando muses.

    Such as the danger brought about by the presence of ice dogs.

    "Very well. It takes some time for these orders to be filled, if you must know. Creating an animal from scratch takes a great deal of work after. A custom order usually takes two days to fill."

    That's still pretty darn fast all things considered.

    "Safe?" The Knight appears surprised by the question. "That's usually not the first question people ask me about it. For most people it seems to b a given." He looks at the fountain. "It was peaceful. A little idyllic. And safe, yes."

    "Ah, I see." Takara looks around. "Which one is Pac-Man? That other person said Pac-Man was popular."

    "...it just seems like an important question to ask." Aleph looks down at the fountain, feeling slightly uncomfortable at his reaction. "But why would you leave somewhere like that? And come here?"


    [Neon Coliseum]

    "I think... that one." Grace points out the Pac Man arcade machine. "I'm not sure why it is popular though. It's pretty old, not nearly as flashy or engaging as some of the new ones. I guess it is just a classic."
