---

Florence glanced up at the large building in front of him, then at the picture in his hand. This has to be the one. He sighed softly. He was nervous. He didn't know what kind of people lived here.

Florence was walking around a pet shop. He knew the owner, and he came here often, looking at the animals and watching there behaviors. "Florence, c'mere!" The owner called. He walked over, leaning on the counter. "Yeah, what is it?" He asked with a slight smile. He was one of the few people Florence could trust, much less smile at. And some of those people were now dead. The owner handed him a picture of a large building. "This place is full of scientists. You can go there and study and have somewhere to live." Florence smiled wider, holding the picture. "This is wonderful! I'll go find it right now, thank you!"

Florence smiled slightly at the photo, then stuffed it into his pocket. He raised his hand and knocked hard on the door.

( The day had passed in shadows and tears and grand gestures.

Although the sun shone, the light was weak- not quite reaching ground.

Cold.

All too much like pained, unsmiling eyes.

The sanctuary had been draped in black, the altar stripped bare. It was a magnificent funeral, but draining, they carefully recalled every moment, every sensation of Christ's murder.

A death mourned a thousand times over. Wounds renewed each year, She only hoped they'd cry for her when she was gone like they cried for him.

"I'm sorry, did they nail YOUR hands to a cross?"

"It would still be nice to know they cared that much"

The evening, by contrast had turned out nicely so far. Pale golden light filled the tiny kitchen as she and the tiger Quartz sat across from each other at the island with two bowls of soupy noodles.

"You don't have to eat that, you know."

"You kidding? I like it this way!"

"You're such a liar!"

It was then that a knock echoed sharply through the hall.

Spoons clattered the bowls and the bara wife rose, muscular form tensing like a snake coiling in preparation for its strike.

This would not well. She'd placed a long slender hand on the woman's arm

"I'll handle it"

Moments later, soft footsteps echo across a hard marble floor. One door opens to reveal a girl clad completely in black, a stark contrast to the colorful scientists behind her. )

Hello?

A young man, probably in his late teens, looked at the woman and frowned slightly, then smiled, kind of awkwardly. "Er... hi, is this the... um... society of arcane scienc....es?" He asked uncertainly. He was short for a boy his age, clearly, and he was thin and kind of bony, but not in an unhealthy way.

He stood there, thinking. He felt pretty bad for yelling. He probably should go to the nearest doctor. This place was big, did they have a doctor? He should see one so if he gets hurt, they know all his previous problems... "is there a doctor here?"

Upstairs, there is an infirmary. An office will greet you first. There are two doctors, Dr. de Lezo and Dr. Jekyll. Either one of them should be able to help you.

"Excellent," Weir returned. "That makes it even more likely they'll say 'yes'. We've no one here in that line of work. A couple of cryptozoologists and extremofaunic specialists, but no proper zoologist to speak of. Certainly no one who does wildlife rehabilitation."

"For the most part, if you do right by the other lodgers, they'll do right by you. The two exceptions are Hawley Griffin and Hela Hyde. Stay clear of them, if you can. Also, try not to make the orange Jasper angry. She's reliable, but does have a bit of a temper. Around Jasper Kaylock, by contrast, you can simply be yourself, no worries. Oh, and if you see a rather large wolf, don't be alarmed. That's Kito Latro, a recent arrival. Treat him well, and he'll do likewise. Quite honorable, that one."

Kito anwsered the door wincing, his arm was completely bandaged from his recent adventures. He probably had to go to the infirmary more times than most lodgers with in just a mere three weeks. He had to go once for being shot, another time for being shot, one was for a severe burn, and then the last to was for severe cuts. He looked at the man at the door, "Who are you?"

"Come on, I'll show you to my room." She said leading the way. Her room was split it to parts the part away from the window was very small with a bed and a desk that had stacks of books all over them the only thing that wasn't covered in books was an arm chair with a pillow and quilt on it. The other part right infront of the window had strange looking fruit plants with a capuchin eating from one of them chattering "ELLO, ELLO, ELLO!" at Millie and Florence. The rabbit's pin dominated most of the space, it was only four short walls that had a meddow setting painted on the inside with real sod flooring, there was a big pile of fruit and vegetables in a corner and a big trough of water. Two little blue and purple bunnies were mindlessly grazing at the food. "Well here we are!"
