Combat Competition

[ She's been training with a number of interesting individuals during her time in the City. In her homeworld, she used to break knees for a pimp. Wasn't trained for the job though, just threw herself into it and reveled any injuries she sustained. She's still guilty of that, but she's gotten better at ducking. ]

Shooting Competition

[ When she came to the City, the nerves in her hands were still damaged from the bullet she took to the brain. A few bloody incidents and a wish later and... Bullseye. She'll still defer to the Cowboy in a pinch, but today she's pulling out all the stops. ]

July 1st - Peace & Serenity

[ If she's completely honest with herself, Carla has never been at peace. She's always been burning with something, itching for something, and she grows bored far too easily. She craves stimulation. In the back of her mind, she's not so sure she likes being at peace, but for the next few hours it's what she has. She and Peanut will be in the park, taking a nap on a picnic blanket. ]

July 2nd - Euphoria

[ This is more like what Carla craves: a high. This is going to end in nothing but trouble. More prone to picking fights for fun and looking for mischief, she's bad news today. Unless you're in on the fun. ]

July 3rd - Gratitude

[ Carla never shows gratitude, ever. If you think you're due a few thank yous, come and collect. She'll be sketching at one of her favorite bakeries. She might even have a doodle or two for you. ]

July 4th - Affection

[ She's very physical, that Carla. Hugs and kisses and... ahem. For everyone. ]

Rex's Day Out

[ There's a monster dog on the loose. (sandurufu) Everyone is welcome to encounter Rex. He's derp of a 'dog.' Theo will be in charge of returning him, in the end. ]

Rex. Hello Rex.

[Theo carefully pets Rex. He's not used to living animals wanting him to pet them. Even Trever's familiar will give him scratches if he gets too close.]

[Rex has no common sense, if entirely truthful. So what if Theo is weird! His mistress smells kind of dead too, whatever.]

[From Rex's chain collar, there is a leash dangling. It appears he has definitely escaped, but there is no one nearby calling for him. Probably because Gazelle disappeared a couple of days ago.]

[AH! So he fits in with most people Theo knows. Excellent! If he thinks about it, the only person he really knows with common sense is his sister in law to be.]

I wonder who you belong to. In this place it could be anyone, couldn't it?

[Carefully he takes the leash and wishes he could talk to animals like Trever can.]

[Rex does a few circles on the end of the leash, overly excited, but in truth he's a good boy and likes to go on walks. So he sets out to take Theo on one.]

[He laughs and lets himself get tugged along.]

Where are we going? Do you know where home is?

[Vaguely he remembers someone - probably Trever again - that dogs are smart enough to know how to find their way home. Rex seems to be very dog like so it's possible he could do the same thing.]

[He does remember the way home, as a matter of fact. He gets a little distracted along the way... but he does eventually lead Theo up to one of the standard city apartment buildings, one of the ones that sits on the town like the hours on a clock.]

[Rex noses his way inside confidently, taking Theo up quite a lot of flights up stairs, then down the hall to a corner apartment.]

[He sits down in front of a door looking expectant. Use your mad knocking skills, Theo, or he's gonna scratch up that door.]

[Because of course a dog can't take the stairs.

Figuring he's got nothing to lose, he gives a knock on the door.]

I hope this is your home or I'm going to be rather embarrassed.

[It is his home. The problem is that the person who opens the door still isn't Rex's owner... Which is obvious by the horrified way the woman jumps back... and the fact that Rex doesn't get excited.]

[...In fact he kind of looks disappointed.]

[A little probing will reveal that the crazy woman who lived here before has taken up residence elsewhere...]

[Well... once he gets the crazy woman's new place or area, Theo tugs the poor not dog's leash.]

Come on. I think your mom moved.

[A crazy lady who lives on the beach and used to have a monster dog. Who could this possibly be!]

[Either way, Rex trots along at Theo's side, nose to the air as if just waiting for the woman's scent to waft by.]

[Gosh! Theo has no idea! Which isn't why he's walking towards the area of beach where he's seen Carla a lot. He's not exactly sure where she lives, but figures this would be a good place to start.]

Your mom should be happy to see you.

[He feels like he should be having a conversation with the monster dog. He's not sure why. But perhaps he's spent too much time with Trever who talks to animals all the time.]

[Rex arfs back at him like he understands, which he doesn't.]

[But the closer they get to the beach, the more excited Rex seems to get, because it's not just Carla he can smell but also Peanut, who is his erstwhile little brother - no relation. Rex starts to bounce between each step, making excited noises that sound a little bit more intimidating than cute, but his tail is also wagging a mile a minute.]

[...not far away, someone is barking. It's probably Peanut, pawing at the sliding glass door in the back of Carla's flat.]

[Well, Theo's seen weirder. He breaks into a light jog since Rex wants to go faster. He hears the barking and heads in that direction.]

[She's coming to see what has Peanut so worked up, and she knows her own monster dog when she sees him. A look of surprise crossing her face before she calls,]

Rex!

[Rex begins to pull very hard on his leash in order to reach his mistress.]

[Fft. At this point, Theo just lets the leash go and follows at a slower pace. There's no way he can keep up with monster dog.]

[Carla does not let Rex knock her over, but she does crouch down to envelop the slobbering beast in her arms.]

[It takes her a moment to look up at Theo and frown.]

[...Hey creeper.]

I guess he's yours.

[Hi there.]

He is. But where is Gazelle?

I don't know.

I just found him chasing his tail in the city.

[Oh. Well.]

Good. Fuck her.

[Right then.]

He seems happy to be back.

Hm?

[She looks at Rex, who is in fact delighted. He doesn't hold that whole 'you murdered me' thing against her.]

...he's always like that.

[He's a dog like thing. They're dumb like that.]

Ah. I see. I've never met very many living animals that could stand being around me, so I wouldn't know.

I raised him... my vampire friend helped out after Blonde left.

[She looks down into Rex's glowing yellow eyes.]

And I bled Rex out in my bathtub for a deity trade.

[He's familiar with death.]

[Theo has a cult devoted to him. They regularly sacrifice animals. It's better than the humans they used to do for his brother. He doesn't blink an eye at this.]

I think you mentioned that the last time we talked.
