[Network Audio]
I like how everyone is telling stories recently. This is fun. I have heard so many interesting things! I am sorry to say that the Kree do not have many cultural tales, or at least not many of which I had a chance to hear.

I have, though, heard many things about interesting alien species of which I have not had a chance to encounter. Perhaps you would enjoy hearing about one of those. But which one...

[A moment of thought before she makes a humming noise to herself and then continuing,]

Ah! The Flerkins. Yes. There are stories about them, once even in association with the Kree. They are said to be small, fluffy little beasts. They go about upon four feet, and bear a tail. Their bodies are furred and their faces are small with strong, needle like teeth. And they have triangular ears that it is said can reflect their emotions as much as their tails might.

They are said to be a very intelligent species and when they see things they desire, they open their great maws with something like a yawn, with the tentacles they store in extra-dimensional space, and snatch it to store away.

But I hear they are very beautiful too, and they like petting if they do not hate you. In wonder how soft they are. Maybe they are soft like my sister's fur-beast, Chewie.

Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. This place does not have many non-human species after all.

Flerkins Taking Your Stuff!
Is it just you or are there more orange tabby cats around the town? They seem to be in so many places. Strolling through the halls of the dormitories, napping on the tops of market stalls, and watching with big, bright green eyes from alleys.

Mostly they stay out of the way (even if they prove to be very good at getting into places they don't belong). Unless, of course, they see something they very much like the look of. Then, whether watched or not, the true nature of the Flerkin comes to the fore. The cat owns its mouth far wider than seems physically possible, fleshy tentacles flashing from its mouth and wrapping around the object. Which then disappears into its mouth. The feline-like creature then proceeds to clean a paw with something that absolutely looks like nothing but a normal cats' tongue.

"Mew?" it asks when attention turns on them.


[Additional OOC Note: Don't feel bound to only run into Flerkin here. Enjoy them in your own logs too! Everyone deserves the hilarity of losing their stuff!]

[Ah. That is a very intelligent question.]

Have you asked for it back?

[gadaboutdetective]

[ That is a fair and good answer, but Llewellyn must wonder if simply asking is going to work. ]

I have not, if only because I wasn’t sure if it was a possibility before now. Mm… Do you think that would actually work?

[ Oh, he’s seen so many potential flerkins today. Which one was the culprit? What if there’s other stuff? He’d almost developed a whole group of them when he left the house that morning. ]

[kree_soldieress]

If it is a Flerkin, it is intelligent. Why would it not work?

[gadaboutdetective]

I suppose there’s no reason why it wouldn’t if they’re uh- intelligent. I suppose I’m more concerned about if they don’t want to.

[kree_soldieress]

Yes, then you would have to convince them. As you would with any other person, correct?

[gadaboutdetective]

I see your point, but uh- in my experience, even most people are challenging to convince at times.

[ Watching the nearest potential flerkin, the detective hummed awkwardly. ]

Mm… If your sister’s cat- er fur beast is potentially a flerkin… I don’t suppose you’ve had any experience in what might be the best approach to convince it of something, have you?

[kree_soldieress]

Food. The Beast liked fish. And pizza. There is not a lot of pizza here oof course.

[gadaboutdetective]

Fish and pizza… Well, fish is easier, so I’ll start with that. Then if that fails… I actually think I can probably get a pizza easily enough.

[ He could stop by Ivy’s for one to go, and hopefully get his notebook back by the end of it. He is reasonably sure they’ve probably gotten other things too, but the notebook was a priority. ]

[kree_soldieress]

I believe Miss Ivy makes pizza. That could be an answer for that.

[She continues thinking, but really, she doesn't have other ideas for what to feed the things.]

But also talk to them. They might have a preference.

[gadaboutdetective]

Great minds think alike. Then, I thought of her restaurant when you mentioned pizza.

[ He responded with a lighter smile, even if he had his work cut out for him now. ]

So… Food, either uh- fish or pizza, and talk to them. I think I have my plan for the afternoon, depending on how long it takes to get my notebook back. Thank you for the advice. Lauri-Ell.

[kree_soldieress]

Good luck with that! I hope you will find your things!

[gadaboutdetective]

Thank you, Laur-Ell. I shall be in touch later to let you know how it goes. Have a good afternoon.

[ He ended with an awkward smile, before shutting off the feed and presumably going to beg a flerkin for his stuff back. ]

[kree_soldieress]

And to you as well.

[And sh really has to go investigate these herself.]
