It was time. The Oracle of the sands had grown and matured enough for it to be time for a new lesson. Tomb made his way into the marketplace holding the KS vouchers a loyal follower had left at their shrine as an offering. There was a lot to choose from; beakers with a bellama spirit that took most of his self control not to exorcise the while store and a lab that gave injections of all things! Maybe he’d been out in the desert too long to know what was hip and trending. Luckily the adoptions storefront caught his attention. Yes; that would do perfectly. They had the space and resources for another to come live at the shrine... now the question was who? He hadn’t expected there to be such a large amount of homeless ones. He was quite drawn towards the little rabbit looking creatures and spent several moments enjoying their adorableness before remembering that he had not come for himself but rather for Golden. Hmm. Perhaps a lucain or Kuhna to be her handmaiden? No. What she needed was another paragon to talk to. With that in his thoughts he focused his spiritual eyes. Some had aura’s that were too dark to settle comfortable in their shrine... and he realized who ever he picked would need to be a grounded type unable to fly. Yes, this one would work. Making his way over to the rabbot fellow he offered a smile.  
”Hello, if the paragon Volcanic has no objections with living in a desert I would very much like to provide a home for him. I’ve these KS vouchers worth the 150 keystone adoption fee if you’ll accept them at this store?” The intel he had gained said that any of the marketplace stores would accept them but he didn’t know if that information was still current.

"Hmmm." Raina pressed her lips together in a thoughtful hum, not so much nails as claws tapping the desk. She'd been guided here, to set someone free, to help them become... something much more. Of course, her damn Oracle wasn't exactly clear on the details. But that's why she was here. She could sense what her precious Oracle couldn't see.

"Which... one of you could he possibly mean..." she muttered to herself, wide eyes examining each file, head tilting every so often, as if that could possibly give her a better look at the photo. As if it could help her read their aura. A vain attempt of course, it was doing nothing.

And then one came to her. Well, not so much as a feeling surged through her fingertips when she picked up the photo. "Ah. This one. This is the one I came for." she gave a relieved sighing smile, pushing the photo back towards the Rabbot. "I would like this one to come with me. There is so... much he has to learn." She was successful, that was just... great. He wouldn't be angry with her. Not this time.

She just wondered how this one would evolve.

Something about this place made him nervous. Well, okay, almost everything about it made him nervous. The building felt wrong, and the notice about biting doors didn't help matters, and as for the woman running the place, well, she seemed all right, but you had to be weird to work in a place like this. Or did she live here? That was weirder. He didn't do great with weird.

But he'd come on a pretty straightforward errand, and the less he thought about his unspecified fears the faster it would go, so he did his best to put it out of his mind. "Right. I'm here to pick up Sherbert Kuhna A, with this Kuhna adoption credit I found under the bed. You just can't keep track of those things, you know?" He was coming dangerously close to babbling.

Hyx wasn't sure what it was that drew him to the Adoption Agency. He did of course follow his master's wishes. He was here because he'd been told to come, and definitely for no other reasons then that. It shouldn't have been a very big deal to pick up the two from the agency. From what he'd heard before it was a straightforward process. "I have two adoption credits I'd like to use," he said. "For those two there," he specified.

Ji-tae had been here once before, when the place was just opening, but it had been a while since he'd had a reason to come back. Apparently it wasn't as busy these days as it had been right at the beginning. Still, at least they were staffed--- some of the shops he got sent to didn't even have anyone manning the counter if it was a quiet time of day.

"Hey there! I couldn't get this processed, could I?" he said, holding up an adoption form. "Not for me, though--- the address is right on here..."

Fennis had always assumed that at some point in his life he would have to pick Cylar up from jail. This seemed...similar, but distinct enough that he was having a little trouble deciding how he felt about it. At least they'd have plenty of time to hash it out on the drive home; this place was way out of his usual way and if not for the fact that Cylar had been disowned even harder than he had, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Good evening," he said, and then cringed at the thought of having to drive all night to get home, though he did his best to disguise the reaction. "I'm here to pick up someone you're calling Natural Female Lucain. She's my sister."

Coming to a place like this on a complete whim probably wasn't the best idea she ever had. She did have an interest in adding a new member into her little family, sure. But truth be told, she actually had no idea what exactly she was even looking for upon entering the doors of the agency unscathed.

"Hey, uh... I'll be browsing for a bit. You don't mind, right?" Not even really knowing what the proper protocol was for this sort of stuff when she said that, she already went off to take a look around without waiting for a response. It was a good thing they had put up photos, as that would be very helpful for her to figure things out. There sure were a lot though!

Her blue eyes would scan through all the many different pictures for the next several minutes, mostly to admire the wackiness of each frame holding the photos upon realizing that a pet didn't really speak to her.

Sure enough, a loud gasp would escape her, as she stared at one particular photo with her jaw open. "No. Freakin'. Way!" They actually had something like that?!

Next thing the owner would know, the frame would suddenly get yanked up off the wall by the lady, and she would rush over to hold it up to their face. "This darling critter! Do you seriously have one needing a home? Can I have him? Or her? Pleasepleaseplease?" Almost unable to contain her excitement, her words just kept spilling out of her mouth at slightly above indoor voice volume.

"A cat," said Fabio, just to make sure he was hearing this right. Nevermind that he'd probably checked like five times by now. "You're sure that's what he said he wanted?"

He didn't know how Melanie could make the vocal equivalent of a shrug over the comm, but that was what she did. "That's what he said," she told him. "It sounded important too, so you probably shouldn't mess this up."

"Look, that's not the issue here. I can get a cat. But..." He sighed. "No, you know what, just fill me in on it later." He was already at the counter anyway. Clearing his throat, he addressed the person manning it. "Hey, uh... I couldn't possibly walk out today with an adoption, could I?"

It had rained on his way up to the adoption agency, and Chester had not been expecting it. The weather had been fine when he'd stepped out of the small cottage by the sea he shared with his siblings and cousins, but as he'd travelled over it had turned suddenly and the heavens had opened. He was soaked though.

He paused before entering, ringing out his short dark hair and delicately trying to wipe his face dry from under his mask with a handkerchief. There was really no saving him though, he'd have to just head home and dry off there.

The man walked through the doors, giving them a wary glance and up to the woman in charge, leaving a train of water behind him. "My apologies," he said. "I happened to have left my umbrella at home." He continued through to the rows of picture frames, pausing when he found the one that matched the description he'd been given. He pointed to the picture. "I'd like to claim this one, I'll be paying in KS. Thank you."

Ophelia was well accustomed to the art of shopping. It was something she did often (and well, if one could boast it as a marketable skill). However, today's excursion was rather removed from her usual wheelhouse in the sense that she wasn't looking for material goods to bring home, but rather companionship. It had been getting rather lonely since she'd found a place of her own, and she found herself wanting for the company of another loving being (but perhaps not one so needy as a roommate).

She'd settled on adoption relatively quickly, and that was the reason she found herself wandering through a strange hallway displaying various images of companions seeking homes. It didn't take her long to settle on one that caught her eye and with that in mind, she swiftly made her way to the counter to speak with the curator of the establishment.

"I would like to adopt the Pink Jelly Kuhna A, if she's still available? We might need to work on a new name for her though, so hopefully she's not too attached to her current one." Ophelia seemed about to chuckle at her own joke, but quickly thought better of it. "I'll be paying in KS for the adoption fee, if that's alright. Thanks!"

Six knew there were still people in the hideout. There was no doubt about it that the handful of guards that he and his men had taken out were all that was there. Their leader had likely turned tail and fled, but leaders always left followers behind.

Six kept his pistol drawn, his steely gaze level as he moved through the old building. It looked like it was some sort of school, once. Classrooms and worn painted walls where metal lockers once stood, perhaps decades ago. The demon's tail twitched, a pointed ear perking slightly at the sound of shuffling in the classroom he'd just passed. He turned on his heel and stared.

He didn't need to take two steps before he was met face to face with a person, leaping out from behind the door, broomstick in hand, jabbing forward with impressive, but clearly frantic speed. Six dodged with a sharp intake of breath, feeling the wood brush his neck, and grabbed the broom with his free hand. His eyes flashed as he met the person's eyes--a woman, he thought, with thin wrists and a haggard face, eyes hollow with acceptance of fate but posture screaming for a fight. Six slowly lowered the broomstick, forcibly, and tucked his gun into his jacket. The woman's expression changed, slowly lowering the broomstick. Stepping a bit out of the darkness, her sandy brown hair--dyed--caught the dim light of the flickering overhead fluorescents. "Are they dead?" she spoke, slow and croaky, like she hadn't used her voice in a bit. Six blinked at her question, and slowly nodded--nodding quicker when she continued, "Suichi and his men? The ones with the scarab tattoos."

"All the ones in front, save for Suichi himself. He turned tail and ran." Six didn't smile, but offered a kinder, quieter look as the woman seemed to exhale with relief. "I take it you're not here by choice."

The woman met Six's stare for a few moments, eyeing his horns, his charcoal skin, and finally gave a wry smile of her own. "Are you?" she offered back, and with that, nodded to him in a small bow. "I'll remember this," she murmured.

Six opened his mouth to ask what, exactly, she meant by either of her statements, but the woman was already hurrying away, and the idea of raising his voice in a hideout that may still hold attackers. He wasn't sure who that had been, but he hoped that she'd make it out safely.

Isabel trotted into the agency building, barely paying attention as she elbowed the door open. Instead, she was scowling down at the stack of paper she was shuffling in her arms. While she wasn't known to have a temper, or any similar kind of emotion, she was clearly agitated by something. Probably had to do with the fact she was muttering things like, "always making me do..." and "like I don't have enough work".

She made short time covering the distance between door and counter, somehow managing not to bump into anyone on the way. She slapped a sheet of paper on the desk and tossed over a small sack with it. "I'm here to buy a Silver Ancient Kuhna and a Tan Ancient Kuhna. You'll find all the GT there."

On her way out, she mumbled something about, "two down, I guess," and "more work ... future, I bet."

Alex rushed frantically into the Agency, desperately trying to catch his breath. He couldn't believe this had happened - his children, his son and daughters were up for adoption, and all because he had been away. Silently, he cursed the fates that he had had to leave, but there was no making up for that now.

He skidded to a halt in front of the counter, and panted, choking, desperately trying to catch his breath.

"My - son - is in - your care" he wheezed, coughing deeply, trying to steady himself. "Please, I know you have my daughters as well, but my son was to come with me - I'm begging you, please let me take him home."

Just as easily as pets left the manor more came. There was a sort of rotating door policy and very few pets were kicked out to the cold unjustified. This was a time when Hyx was sent to retrieve something on behalf of another. It was no big issue, and he could almost say he was happy to do so. Compliant was a more apt term, but Hyx was not known for his great range of emotion. "I hope this will be no problem?" he asked, a little uncertain.

Ernie cheerfully walked in. His master had his eye on a new recruit and he wanted him to go get her. Just as many left as they came in. Normally though they would just come forward and join but today he actually got to go a retrieve someone. He could insert some words of wisdom before they met his master. Maybe it would save them from some pain and torture.
