The variety of life in the mortal worlds continued to be amazing to Zhida. She knew of the different peoples of the galaxy, of course, she'd meet many of them in Otherworld after they'd passed. What surprised her was the animal life. There were some creatures native to Heaven and Hell aside from ogres, of course, but a single planet had more different species than both those realms combined. Earth, with all its different environments, was a particularly good example of this. Somehow, Zhida hadn't considered that the worlds' wildlife would be as varied as their civilized life, but so it was.
Now, Zhida wouldn't call herself an animal lover, but she was a lover of learning, and this was an area where her knowledge was lacking. So when she was able to take a break from her and Karon's (largely unsuccessful, if we're being honest) ghost hunting, she went exploring West City. There were plenty of birds, and a couple of different kinds of rodents scampering about, eating whatever crumbs of food people left behind. She ran across several people walking different breeds of dog, and exactly one person walking an uncooperative cat. All these observations were jotted down in her notebook, like she did with all the new things encountered in the mortal worlds. Karon made fun of her for being so studious, but she kept on anyway.
Eventually, she arrived at the treasure trove of animal knowledge: a pet shop. Zhida was awed. People could just go and buy whatever animals they liked? They didn't have to catch them? Amazing! She eagerly went inside to see what they had. There were no dogs or cats here, but plenty of every other kind of pet imaginable. There was an aquarium section full of fish, a central area with things like rabbits, hamsters, and ferrets, a particularly noisy corner with all kinds of birds, and even some more exotic creatures, like Arcosian reptiles that had to be kept in refrigerated tanks. Zhida flitted from one cage or tank to the next, bursting with excitement and scribbling notes all the while.
Zhida's PL: 5,000 (Base)

Pankaa's PL: 44,500
It was another of Nero's busy work days which left Pankaa free to roam about nearby his workplace like many times before- One would think the kid would grow tired or bored of wandering about the same general area after so long but not Pankaa! Earth was so interesting to him still even though it was his home now there was still so much he had yet to see and learn! His wandering had also resulted in the meeting of all kinds of new friends! If anything he had only become increasingly more excited and now even looked forward to his time to wander though nothing quite beats out home time with Nero. Today though was extra exciting cause the last time he was out and about he had found where the animal shelter store was! But had to go home before he could get a good look at all the animals so today was the day he got to go see them all since he knew exactly where to head to. Though- While he knew where to go now it did still take some length of time to get there still because he was so little and his little legs could only go so fast especially in the city's crowd- But he got there eventually and that's what mattered! Reaching the pet shop he only just managed to slip inside before the door closed after someone else had entered before him- He had gotten used to trying to slip in as others entered places as it saved him from having to try and jump up and reach the handles that were always three times his height, or from having to push open heavy doors- Though he tried his best to not slip up anyone when slinking in past their feet and thankfully not many seemed to even notice him doing it. Hyper focused on making friends with the animals inside he hadn't yet noticed the other potential red friend yet! Once inside he was amazed at all the different kinds of animals all in the one place, some he could only hear and not see as they were up too high or in tanks he wasn't tall enough to see into yet- But they still made all kinds of funny noises! His tall ears swerved all around to take in the noises but there was one animal in particular he was looking for... " Bunny!" A bright smile erupted onto his face as he noticed the central spot that had- Quite a number of animals but most importantly, rabbits! Scampering over he'd give the loud birds a head tilt with a funny look along the way over to the rabbits before reaching the pen. Without so much as a second thought, the young Avali would reach up and climb his way over the barrier between him and the bunnies, using his little claws to help him up and over the pen. Once at the top of the pen he'd let himself fall into the area with the rabbits, breaking his short fall with his arm wings- They couldn't fly on earth but they could still glide. When inside he gave an excited squeak! He had succeeded in climbing the pen! It was bunny time! Though it became apparent rather quickly that the bunnies were rather scared of the orange space raptor, while he was around their size and had similar looking ears, he also had sharp clawed feet and many other differences to the rest of the bunnies... Maybe it was just because they weren't used to him yet! Pankaa would flop down to sit on the spot so he wasn't chasing the little creatures around the pen and began to try wiggling his nose like they were doing from across the other side of the pen. " See? Bunny too! Friends?" |
