[Well, isn't this just a bit familiar?]

If you're lucky none of you get stuck here. If not...you're not the first.

[seriousheat]

Did that happen to you?

[nosympathy]

Last time one of these crowded weekends happened.

[seriousheat]

So that's a regular thing. [ Shrugging. ] I know nothing about this place. Willing to give me a tour?

[nosympathy]

Seems to happen every few months or so and better than some of the things that go on.

[She might have some free time and nothing better to do.]

Why not. It'll keep you from getting trampled underfoot I guess. Where are you now?

[seriousheat]

Yeah? Sweet. [ He sounds genuinely pleased. ] I walked past a fountain a while ago, could go back there. Unless there's many 'round here?

[nosympathy]

There's only the one. Be glad you didn't arrive in it like some seem to.

Name's Xhex and I can be there in a minute or two.

[Or less.]

[seriousheat]

Severide. Kelly Severide, hi. And it might take me more than a minute.

[nosympathy]

I'll wait for you. Unless you take too long.

[And, as she said, it doesn't take her too long at all to arrive. She'll be sitting on the edge of the fountain when he gets there.]

[seriousheat]

[ He doesn't take very long, and soon enough he's strolling up to the fountain, leather jacket and a bag thrown over his shoulder. He didn't really arrive with much.

Giving her a smile when he sees her. ] Hey. Not too late, am I?

[nosympathy]

[Typical of the City, you come as you are and try to rebuild between the loops it runs you through.]

Luckily for you, no. But any longer and I'd have been gone. [She's smiling as she says it though, clearly teasing.]

So, Mr. Severide, anything interesting you've already heard about you want to check out first?

[seriousheat]

[ Here's hoping that he's not going to be stuck here; or that the City needs a firefighter. ]

Just Severide's good, really. [ Well. He likes a girl who teases? ] I've only heard about the monsters in the underground.

[nosympathy]

[There is a mischievous god of chaos around that likes fire that nearly set the place ablaze not long ago.

And her teasing isn't always so easy to tell.]

The two-legged or more varieties?

[seriousheat]

[ That does not sound good. Though at least he'd have job prospects, here? ]

Just that there's monsters, not what kind.

[bamfingcats]

Mew?

[BOOB KITTEN.]

[nosympathy]

Oh...hi there.

[Color her confused.]

[bamfingcats]

[It's not every day a kitten randomly shows up in your shirt, is it?

But it's warm in here! So he's going to purr happily. Ys. Boobies.]

[nosympathy]

[Nothing randomly or otherwise just shows up in her shirt. But she'll just reach in and pet the little thing while trying to figure out just where he came from.]

[bamfingcats]

[Her fingers get licked with little sandpaper tongue. He seems to be perfectly content...

Though there's another black kitten over there splashing in a puddle.]

[nosympathy]

[She doesn't mind the tongue and well...he isn't causing any trouble so no need to disturb him.

As far as the other one goes...]

I didn't think cats liked water.

[bamfingcats]

[It's warm in here.

Yes. She does appear to be enjoying the water. She also appears to have webbing between her toes.]

[nosympathy]

[Must be a male.

Well, they aren't the oddest animals she's seen since showing up here. As long as the little cat's happy.]

[bamfingcats]

[Yes, he is a male. BOOBIES.

And now there's a third kitten. This one is grey and trying to eat her shoelaces.]

[nosympathy]

[Okay that one? No.]

Stop that.

[She's not above kicking if she has to.]

[bamfingcats]

[BUT SHOELACES ARE YUMM.... oh is that a rock? THAT'S A ROCK! OH MIGHAWD I MUST EAT THAT ROCK!!!!!!

The grey kitten is sufficiently distracted by the rock which is now his snack.]

[nosympathy]

[Okay what the hell?]

Are you eating that rock?

[Sorry kitty in the shirt about the bumping.]
