[ it's been.. a lot to deal with, between the arrival and seminars, the new rules for his existence, the accommodations, the news that he's trapped here for at least a year. he's overstimulated and uncomfortable and annoyed, and the only thing making it better at the moment is faust. granted, he wishes she was safe at home where she belongs, but he's also hopelessly grateful for the familiarity of her presence.

she's why they're in the park at the moment. until they sort out other details, she needs some way to eat, and parks always have rodents somewhere, right? the only problem with this is that they're not alone.

when someone nears where the little serpent is hunting, a slim albino shoots up off his bench and into their path, blocking it with a slightly awkward, owl-eyed, apologetic glance. ]

Be careful. My, ah.. partner's familiar is hunting for mice, and she's small. [ don't step on the snek. ]

[ say what you want, but it doesn't take thistle nearly as long to adjust to this place as it probably should have. given the nonsense he's had to deal with since being resurrected, though, this city is pretty small potatoes.

what it means is that he's already scoping out places in the down to eventually set up shop. the up is a little too much for him, but this is almost familiar. bundled up, faust curled around his shoulders like a sleek scarf, he's in the market today, wide pink eyes serious and vaguely annoyed as he explores the stalls. what the hell is he looking for, anyway?

or maybe a submissive's being denied service. thistle is suddenly right there like some kind of ghost, jamming a card into the clerk's face as he pushes his glasses up his nose with the other hand. ] Take it out of that and stop being a difficult ass, please.

I'm going to make this pretty quick, so apologies for that. My name is Thistle, I'm a slightly out of practice witch sorting out how to manage here, and I've been arbitrarily labeled a dominant. If there are any submissives here that wouldn't mind a matter-of-fact contract just to get the requirement out of the way, I'd love to talk to you.

I'd also love to get out of these apartments as soon as possible, so I'd appreciate information and advice from any other dominants that have moved out of them. Thank you!
