[Not long after midnight and the scrub room at the hospital looks like it's been deserted by one very messy surgeon. Crumpled, bloodied blue cotton lies in a pile on the tiled floor.]

YIP. YIPYIPAWOOO.

[And then something starts nudging the network device until it's leaning up against the heap. Something with a little wet nose, a little furry face, and ears. Not so little ears.]

YIP RRRRRR.

[Device placed to show the heavy swing doors, the creature (smaller than a cat, not quite as long as a side of A4) rushes headlong into them, failing to make any impact whatsoever. Scrabbling with his sharp claws has an equally dismal effect.]

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[But at least they're soundproof.]


[ooc: GRAB BAG! Chase will be a fennec fox for the duration of the weekend, please feel free to run into him anywhere over any part of it, or video tag for yipping and contemporary mime. He will be let out of the scrub room!]

[Luckily there should be a doctor or two (or one in particular) with the right swipe card to rescue him along shortly. For now he trots over to peer at the screen.]

Yip? Yipyipyipyipyip! Rrroooo.

(Are you in the hospital? Tell security. Tell security. Wait don't tell security, they'll have me tagged as a biohazard.)

[Oh, Chase, you foxy thing. Unbearably cute. Angela can't help cooing and waving a soggy french fry at the screen.]

Now you know I don't speak Adorable.

Rowwww-reeee. Yipyipyip.

(Last time we talked you spoke strangely permissive art teacher. I'm hungry.)

[And he settles down for a minute, paws crossed in front of him.]

[If she understood all that yapping, she would say it's happened before and she would offer him said french fry, but she doesn't, so Angela continues to hold this conversation by herself.]

What? Tired? Naptime for foxes already?

Yip! Roooooooo. Awoo-wooooooo.

(You try pushing open doors the size of an 18 wheeler. Reception's a five minute walk, you could tell the girl at reception. She likes me.)

[Angela likes him too. He's still her friend even if he doesn't remember her anymore :(]

You want me to read you a story? Sweetie, foxes usually don't make it out so well in the end of most of them.

[It's nothing personal. Save a few fragments he prefers to deny in public, he doesn't really remember anyone. That apartment in building 12, though, there might be a few old photographs.]

Yip-roo. Yipyiproooo.

(You're one of those women who thinks they know what their cat's saying, aren't you.)

[Last time she went to Building 12, she didn't check to see who lived there now. The place doesn't feel like home to her anymore. The entire building just feels completely strange.]

Hey, I don't write them. Sure, I might illustrate them for cash, but I don't write the words.

[She did say she didn't speak his language. Don't get testy. Also, she was when she had Jefferson.]

[He keeps the apartment. This time around he can't let go of the worry that he might need a place to hide. It's dusty from lack of occupation and full of things he doesn't remember caring for.]

Roooo-yipyip.

(Maybe I should draw a picture.)

Come again?

[Good thing Crayolas are non-toxic. Safe for little fox mouths.]

[chasestail]

Rooo-ooo.

(Nevermind. Are you finishing those fries?)

[thenormalsquint]

[As a matter of fact, she is, along with the half of a turkey sandwich and chocolate milkshake that's on the table. Look at those delicious fries going in her mouth and not yours, Chase. Mmmm.]

You're always cute like this, but I really wish I could understand you. For all I know, you're cursing me out.

Aw-woowoo?

(Always?) [Forget the rest of it.]
