Adventures in the basement..

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

After finishing her homework, and meeting with her new roommate, Duce decided to go on a gremlin hunt. She'd had a request to procure another gremlin, preferably a live one.

That could present a challenge. She wasn't used to keeping creatures alive. However, boredom reigned, and there was a possibility of earning some ready cash by selling the creatures as lab specimens.

She made a mental note of things she thought she'd need: fileting gloves, facemask, heavy canvas work overalls.. a trip to the local MegaMart would take care of most of that.

Duce had a vague thought of asking her new roommate along. Wednesday seemed like the type of girl who'd really appreciate a place like the basement. Perhaps there were others who'd like to go. Duce had heard about a group that wanted to go on a kill-hunt for the creatures, but killing things was so passe. No challenge to it, really. Catching them sounded like more fun.

Not so much feeling someone staring at her as feeling the snakes stare back, Duce turned with an aggrieved sigh. Eyeing up the.. boy? girl? .. androdyne, she nodded casually at the hair, "Nice colour for it."

His hand subconsciously went to his hair and he grinned. "Uh...thanks?" Chihaya took a tentative step forward, his gaze flicking every so often to her ... hair...noooooo...snakes?. "I would be lame and say 'new around here' but since I wouldn't know because I don't get out much I'll say...uh...'Hi!'"

Duce smiles somewhat wryly, "Actually, we are new here. We just registered yesterday, and today's our first day of classes. So far, so good. We haven't been bitten, mauled, molested, kidnapped, drugged, or set on fire yet, but hey, the day's still young." Catching the.. boy? Yes, probably a boy..'s glances at her hair, Duce sighs slightly and says patiently, "Yes, they're real, and yes, they're poisonous. Don't worry, though. We only bite when provoked."

Nodding pleasantly, and hoping to finally define the gender of the other party, Duce says helpfully, "Our name's Medusa. Most people call us Duce. What's there to do around here? Besides taunt drunk people and avoid being plagued by monsters, we mean."
