A Box of Assorted Sonico

A: Video: *Sonico appears on the screen with a big smile and bright eyes, and she even gives the camera a shy wave* Good morning, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here for how good and kind you have been. The fundraiser was a huge success, and I want to thank everyone for their kind words about my performance. I would also like to thank everyone for your thoughtful Christmas gifts. I was so shocked and suprised! I am so grateful to have met such generous friends. She takes a moment here to bow her head for a second or two to prove her gratitude. Suddenly, there's a small growl and a bundle of fluff appears, bouncing in front of the camera. Sonico looks up and laugh, and scoops the creature into a hug* And this is Meiji, my new kitten. Thank you, Koishi for being so thoughtful. *Yeah, Sonico looks at the cat like she's in love. There does seem to be something curious about her new kitten, though....

B: Action - Bar: This, unfortunately, appears to be a bit of a tradition for Sonico now. Another friend has disappeared. One who looked after her, and cared for her when she was house bound with broken ribs. One who tried to understand her, and consider her emotions. It hurts that he's gone now, so Sonico has found herself in a small bar, nursing a beer and staring at the table in front of her.

C: Action - Nova Mall: As soon as Sonico found out about Grell's Foundation for orphaned and disadvantaged children, Sonico was desperately keen to be involved. An orphan herself, she knows how difficult life can be. Not everyone has an awesome grandmother to take care of them. In order to raise awareness, and hopefully raise some money for the charity, Sonico sits up a little concert in Nova mall. Anyone nearby or casually shopping can pop in and enjoy the show! Sonico is on stage with a band, complete with her own electric guitar this time - thank you, Arro! - and is performing something very different from last time. This is for kids, so the show is in full on pop rock mode. The songs are punchy and fun, upbeat and catchy. To match, Sonico has gone cute with her costume too. Fun for all the family. Enjoy! Donate! Feel your heart go out to the orphans every time Sonico appeals between songs!

Tannusen could write a book, or at the very least a scathing essay, on all the reasons it isn't fair for an exotic predator pooka to have the same compulsions as all the fluffy-cute-friendly pooka.

For one, being drawn to people when they're sad. That's all fine and good for a lapdog, sure, but for a royal bengal tiger? What helpful animal instincts is he supposed to draw on, here? He's not domesticated. He's not even a lion, who at least live in groups. A tiger is perhaps the least useful animal to be in this sort of situation! Short of, maybe, some sort of lizard.

But there isn't much helping it. There are differences between the exotic and the more acceptable pooka, but in the end... a pooka is a pooka. So, as compelled as any other of his kind, Tannusen draws near. And then he drops with a casual, easy grace into an empty chair at Sonico's table.

It's probably about time for him to meet the pink-haired girl while he's in human form, anyway.

There have been plenty of people coming and going, and she has been vaguely aware of men directly approaching her. But she has been quite absorbed in her thoughts, so anyone new coming near by isn't anything different.

What is different, however, is that he has sat down at her table. Sonico lifts her head and just looks at the person in front of her, not someone she recognises. She manages a flicker of a smile and a nod, "Hello."

Don't worry, Sonico. While Tannusen is nearly as into women as he is into men, he's certainly not been drawn over with his cup of steaming oolong tea to make a pass. If anything, having the pooka lounging around at your table is likely to keep at least some of those guys at bay.

He's still got that predator aura to him, after all. Much as that sometimes draws fights to him like honey drawing in flies, it also stops a lot before they can begin.

"Hello," he returns, amused. Normally, he'd consider just propping his chin in his hand and staring like he'd stared as a tiger until she possibly caught on, but he came over to not be a giant asshole. Right? Right. Or at least try. So, he salutes with his tea. "Human form this time, alas."

It's really hard to miss that purring quality in his voice. It has nothing to do with being a tiger, but sometimes it's convenient anyway.

In fact, noticing that he seems to be drinking tea makes her relax a little more. Her shoulders are very slightly more relaxed. The not staring definitely helps too - she's too socially awkward for that not to freak her out.

She lifts her mostly full bottle of beer to salute in return, but freezes at the following statement. "Human form...?" The beer goes back on the table and she leans a little closer into the table. "The - tiger?!"

"In the flesh, as it were," said tiger confirms with a chuckle, and takes a sip of his steaming hot tea. His eyes are the same, just smaller for a human skull. A little brighter in color, thanks to his Slipped Seeming. It's ironically only in his animal form that he blends in seamlessly with the mortal world.

As much as a giant white tiger outside of a zoo or circus can actually... blend.

"Tannusen, more specifically. Communication is a great deal easier in this form."
