[predecir]

[After like, a solid twenty minutes of this, a quiet voice floats up from underneath the front porch.]

She's, uh. She's not gonna let you back in.

[cuttingremark]

[Well that gets him to stop. He looks down towards the source of the voice.]

Who's there?

[predecir]

Uh...my name's Bruno. I kinda got thrown out of there an hour ago. She's not my mother, either, she's just a...lady whose house I was in. Not on purpose! I don't really know what's going on, I'm pretty settled on weird dream. Maybe hallucinatory pollen.

[He coughs awkwardly, and there's a moment before he remembers that just hanging out beneath someone's porch is not normal.]

Then a big dog came out of my bag some...how, and ran under here with it, and...here we are.

[cuttingremark]

[Loki is on the move while Bruno talks, making his way off the porch to peer underneath. Snorunt follows, still shivering.]

I woke with this...strange creature [Sad chittering] sitting on my chest.

[He crouches down to get a better look.]

I am Loki. A pleasure to meet you, Bruno.

[predecir]

[Loki meets the wide eyes of an Absol. It's got a bag hooked around its horn identical to the one he woke up with. Bruno is wedged up next to it, a hand on its side, and lying on his back now. He wriggles a little to crane his neck and look at Loki as well as he can under the circumstances, smiling awkwardly.]

Uh...heh, you too. I, uh, I was just trying to get it to come out. And then I figured, "hey, it's cooler under here! Could just give up and lie in the dirt until this weird hallucination about being disowned ends!"

[cuttingremark]

Are you stuck? [Because that sure sounds like something someone would say when they're stuck and trying to cover it up.]

[predecir]

No! No, I just, uh, you know.

[Kinda freaked out? Used to narrow spaces? He hadn't gone under here to have a panic attack, exactly, but a crawlspace is a lot more familiar and comforting than whatever's going on outside of it right now.

But now he's just the weird scraggly guy hiding in a crawlspace. Which, eh, familiar, but not that comforting.]

I - I can come out, just give me some space.

[He's scrawny and apparently quite good at maneuvering with just his elbows and feet! Here he comes! He sits up once he's back on the grass again. There is a small Ratatta clinging to the hood of his ruana. He has not noticed.]

Ah, well, that was fun.

[cuttingremark]

If that's what passes for "fun" on this realm, I suppose... [Loki furrows his brows at the purple rat on Bruno's hood.]

You have something on your cloak hood.

[predecir]

Oh! Heh, sorry...

[Color rises to Bruno's cheeks, and he turns quickly to bat at what he assumes is going to be a clod of dirt, only to gasp when he sees it.]

Oh, it's a baby! [He gently removes the Ratatta and holds it in his hands.] Look at you, you're so tiny and purple! I hope that's normal - I mean, that dog has a horn, who knows at this point...

[cuttingremark]

Seeing as I am being followed by a walking hat, I believe these anomalies are somewhat normal on this realm.

[Snorunt chitters from behind Loki's leg. It thinks it's hiding, but is entirely too wide to actually be obscured by his calves.]

[predecir]

Eh, at least it's only purple.

[Bruno shoots the walking triangle a bit of a look, idly slipping the Ratatta into his pocket. As you do?

The Absol is peeking its head out from beneath the porch now. Bruno pats the ground between them lightly.]

Come on, it's okay. It's, uh - [Is it actually okay? Jury's out!] - so, this seems pretty, um. Vivid for a hallucination, actually. Not that I'm hallucinating regularly, but my niece has been making a lot of new plants recently, and it can get a little weird sometimes -

[He's just gonna ramble, you can stop him.]
