"Come on, Cal, you're a hyena. Put that nose to good use and get us to J,GOB's, uh? I need a donut like now."

Cal looked up at Amber with doleful eyes, scratching at his t-shirt.

"You need a bath. I had to put that on you to cover up the dirt you rolled around in yesterday. It's fine. You look fine."

Clearly Cal was not amused with his attire. But he wanted a donut too so was permitting it with only a few hindleg itching.

"A bath. That's what you need." Hmm. "I might have to ask Ino to help me later with this. You need to smell better if you're going to keep sleeping on my bed." She raised her brows. "Maybe a bandana around your neck. Oooh, wouldn't that be cute? And don't worry about the naked part, hm?" Amber bent and ruffled his head. "I mean, it's like you got doggie parts right, and I'm not exactly going to wash all around in there even though I'm thinking it might feel good, yah?" She refrained from snickering.

"Anyway, come on, let's go. I'm starving." She tugged on his leash and they started walking again. Damn Fandom and her directionally challenged self.

[Can be open, yes. SP until after noon though as I have to run errands.]

"Oh godda... Oh. Hey Amber." One minute, Murdock had been trying to get out of the junkyard to suddenly find himself on the street, almost crashing into Amber.

"Uh...I was on my way to the gym, but," an irritated groan, "I keep having problems gettin' there."

He glanced down and blinked in surprise. "Is that a hyena?"

"Ohh! Heeeeey, Murdock," she said, tugging a bit on Cal's leash. He suddenly decided barking was in order. "I was trying to get a donut then I would head over to the gym."

She looked down at Cal. "Yah, yah it is."

"Dare I ask why you have a hyena?" It was fortunate that he'd left Houston at home, otherwise... well, there possibly would have been fur flying.

"I was lucky enough, I guess, to manage to find coffee." The pit stop at the Perk had happened sometime after he'd found his way out of the preserve. He gave her one of those 'so not amused' looks, "I think the island's tryin' to make me more insane."

"I'm taking care of Cal," she answered with a wry twist of her lips. "Cal's a student. He's been a hyena since Saturday."

Amber nodded. "My sneakers were wrapped in bubble wrap this morning. I can't make my way to where I'm going. I think I might go crazy before the end of the day."

"Uh. Like that pony thing. But less cooler." He glanced down at Cal, "No offense dude, the flyin' pony bit was pretty neato."

The ability to fly whenever and wherever he wanted to? Oh yah. And the four-inch height thing didn't bother him too much. He could deal, really.

"I spent all day yesterday lost," he complained. "I think I even left the island at one point. I can't be sure. But yah, I just might have to call up the guys in the white suits to come get me, ya know? Usually I try to run from 'em, but in this case, I think I'd be glad to see 'em."

Was he joking? Maybe. Or possibly not.

Cal barked all growly like at Murdock. Probably his way of agreeing. Maybe.

Amber giggled even though leaving the island when you didn't mean too, wasn't really funny.

"Nah, you don't need no white suited men. 'Cause if they come for you? They come for me. Fandom is just crazy sometimes."

Cal barked again and stepped forward to sniff at Murdocks shoes, keeping wary eyes on him. "Have you ever met Cal, you know, when he's human?"

"Naw, I ain't met him before." He looked down at Cal, "Hey dude nice to meet ya. Wish I was meetin' ya human like, but I suppose this will have to do. Somethin' interestin' on my shoes?"

He glanced back up at Amber. "You sure he's friendly? I'm not sure if he likes me very much. And I wouldn't worry about it if they pick you up," he grinned, "I got ways of bustin' out and I'll make sure to spring you too."

"It's strange. The longer he's a hyena, the more dog like qualities he takes on. I don't think he'll take a leak on your shoes or anything though," Amber nodded and pulled Cal back. "Come here, you."

She laughed. "Yah, he's friendly and oh my gosh, you better spring me! I'll go crazy if I get stuck in a crazy house."

"Yah, I have a feelin' it'd be hard to replace them here," he grinned. "Probably he just smells Houston on 'em."

"It just depends on where you end up. Hey, you could come hang at mine! I at least got a few video games in my room. And I know how to get extra jello outta the orderlies," he grinned.

"Yah, I forgot about Houston," Amber told him, agreeing with that.

"Stop teasing me! You're going to make me want to go there just for the jello!"

He chuckled a bit, then grew serious. "Naw, you really don't want to go there. It's not that great, gettin' stuck in a room all the time," he gave a slight one-shoulder shrug.

"You can always find jello somewhere else. Much better places," he smirked a little.

Amber smiled warmly. "At least you're not there anymore, right?" She felt bad for that.

"Want to search for J,GOB's with me? We can at least keep each other company while we get lost."

He grinned, "Sure! Maybe we can find the gym along the way. And if not, we can just make it up next week. Besides," he smirked again, "it's not like we ain't gettin' no exercise today."

"No kidding. I never thought I'd be trekking all over Fandom to get to one damn place," she said and started walking. "Then too is the whole walking a dog thing. Or walking a hyena but you know, basically the same thing here."

He fell in beside her. "Tell me 'bout it," he muttered. "That's how I got lost yesterday. Just tryin' to take Houston out for a walk, but nooooo," eyeroll, "wind up all over the friggin' island."

"But runnin' into Mike, uh Professor Cannon, was worth it though."

"Yah? What happened when you ran into him?" Amber asked curiously, thinking there might be a story there.

"Nothin' really. Wandered into Caritas by accident, you know, and just chatted with him for a bit."

If she was looking for a story, there wasn't one to be had there. Now the pixie on the other hand...
