Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie.

[ It reads like total gibberish. But it's a code -- recognizable to any soldier from his team in Heaven's War. If old faces (Amber, Pai, Carime) are here, at least they'll get the message. I'm here where you are. ]


Here we go again. It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. And the tourists are scattered out like maggots with half the brains. Even under 'new management', the City never changes.

As for me, I have time to kill. A ton of it. The City's a waiting room, and life here's a waiting game, but I'm getting good at it. Who would have imagined? Probably not those I knew before. But if they're not about to confirm or deny, I guess you'll have to take my word for it.


[ Come on, guys. Take the bait. Let him know you're here. ]


[ Options For Run-Ins: ]

[ ∰ Xanadu (Li): 
It's late evening, and the first stars twinkle in the sky. He's found a good spot on a grassy hill. A telescope rests on its stand beside him, a few small books and tools scattered nearby, along with the remains of a picnic on a checkered cloth under 'Li's reclining form: scraps of bread and cheese, a few tumbled apples, a thermos mostly empty of tea. Just an ordinary young man, out for a night of stargazing. ]

[ Come join him, why don't you? The skies couldn't be clearer. ]

[ ∰ Underground (Reaper):
His clash with the six tusked demons has ended. The final monster has dropped -- decapitated, oozing blood. Masked and armed, Hei lies sprawled on the grime-slippery ground, not too far off, a blade still in his hand. The hilt feels hot, and molded to his gloved fingers. But it's quiet now, and that has to be good. He has a few scrapes and bruises that ache from the brawl, but it's nothing serious. The rest of his muscles are singing, the high-pitched song of the battle well-ended. ]

[ If you recognize the masked man, step forward -- carefully. If you don't? Keep your distance. ]


[OOC: Have at him, one and all. Just please be aware tags will be slow, so backtagging is mightily encouraged<33 ]

[He's at a slight distance, and although "Li" seems mentally occupied, Ken is almost certain Li's aware of his presence. In his arms is a round, green creature with a large leaf over its head.]

Li-san, it's nice to get a chance to see you again.
oceantrauma: (Just a little worried)

[The creature protests that with sputtering.] Pet?!

No! Leafmon's my partner. Not a pet. Remember the partner I told you about? This is his younger form.
oceantrauma: (Nothing wrong smile)

[Leafmon gives Ken a look of awe.] You talked about me? [Then he blushes and looks back at 'Li'.] Thank you, Li-san. It's nice to meet you.

Of course I talked about you. I missed you. [Ken hugs his partner, then looks back towards Li.] Is it all right if we sit with you?
