[ oh....precious....keeps petting it for as long as it will allow ]

It's not getting lonely by itself here?

[ i will say that it's likely danny will get bored petting it before it does because they do like being around people possibly more than nico does at any given moment. ]

I think it was at first, but I try to bring them with me when I can, and if they're not with me, sometimes they're with Will. [ the puff chirps at will's name. ] The only time I leave them for long periods of time is Saturdays, but usually they keep themselves pretty occupied by chasing bottlecaps and trying to shred some of my socks. [ there are small, needle-like clawsies attached to this smoke cloud. ]

Anyway...Cocoa Puff, Danny. Danny, Cocoa Puff.

[ i've only had cocoa puff for a minute and a half but if anything happened to him i would kill everyone in this room and then myself ]

They're...cute.
resumed: (smile ♕ fondly)

Right? [ it's horrible because he even sounds exceedingly fond of the dumb little thing. ] The rest of them have their own unique appearances and personalities, but they're pretty close to one another anyway. I thought...maybe they'd want to figure out life for themselves but they decided to come with me and Will so now they're kind of my responsibility.

Figure out life for themselves...?
resumed: (neutral ♕ ohio is for lovers)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yup. [ the puff's ears flick like a cat's, and it stretches out a little so it's closer to danny's hand while staying on nico's shoulder. ] They weren't really in a good situation when we first met. So when we were able to, it was only fair to offer them their own freedom.

[ this is an extremely condensed version of what happened, and it's a little obvious there is more to it that he's not willing to say publicly judging by how he's saying this, but it's close enough to the truth. ]

[ okay so danny is already absolutely infatuated with this thing but now i lisa would also die for it. he smiles softly, not even realizing it, as he will continue to pet it for as long as he is welcome ]

Look at you. A regular animal rescuer over here.

[ really glad it's just animal therapy hours, good for them. the cocoa puff truly does thrive off of attention in this moment. ]

Does it count if they're technically not animals?

[ cocoa puff will fix everything that has ever been wrong with danny ]

What are they, then?
resumed: (smile ♕ devious)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
A demon? [ yeah. ] The proper name for them is a cacodemon. Hence...Cocoa Puff. It just sounded a little better.
foreverphantom: (for you all my life)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2023-10-13 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ laughs ] Cute. What's the difference between a cacodemon and a regular one?
resumed: (curious ♕ what a dumb point)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly the way they're created. Which is sort of a complicated story, but...think of them as a pure being. They're very much themselves and nothing else. [ he shouldn't offer, because he looks like he doesn't exactly want to explain, but: ] I can tell you more about it later if you're really that curious.

[ danny may have a few rights at another time if he desires. the puff is oblivious to nico's plight and is digging its claws into his hoodie as it purrs(?) with the pets. ]

[ does it have a chin. can danny give it chin scritchies ]

I think I'll take you up on that.

[ you know. if we both survive the night. BEEGUNS. ]
resumed: (smile ♕ turn the tides)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ me squinting at the art like "it has a chin area and that's good enough" so it will allow for chin scritchies and chirp happily. honestly he really should not be allowing this because this is putting his shoulder in an awkward position but both danny and the puff seem happy so...whatever. ]

Okay. [ :thonk: but anyway, he's glancing around the room. ] ...not so bad to be with other people, right?
foreverphantom: (no one beats him at his game)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2023-10-13 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ he ONLY has eyes for sweet cocoa puff ] ...it could be worse.
resumed: (intrigued ♕ do tell)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's better than he expected to be honest so he'll take it. ]

If it makes you feel better, I also didn't know half of these people would be here. But I'll take "could be worse" over "outright terrible, Nico, you made a huge error in judgement."
foreverphantom: (it's the hour of the wolf--)

[ snortlaughs ]

Nah, this is nowhere close to those levels.
resumed: (chat ♕ so it's like this)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good. I always strive for improvement. [ sometimes sarcasm is just how you cope. ]

Well, you're making great strides.

Alright, alright, now you're just embarrassing.
