Agh! Dammit I’m soaked! starts to wring water out of her clothes Hey, could I come inside and dry off for a minute?
CarPuppy
Of course you can.. just don’t touch my stuff
Okay thanks she walks in his house shivering from the cold water. She puts her wet clothes on the couch to dry and takes a warm blanket wrapping herself in it. She then takes a seat on his bed Wow, your place is nice. So, who are you and how did we meet?
CarPuppy
Oh so your the new neighbor huh? I’m carpuppy. You were screaming and yelling outside my window so i let you in
Well Carpenter, I’m Ranma. And honestly I didn’t mean to scream, it was just those damn cats again. They always seem to find me. But anyways thank you for letting me in. Your place is very neat and tidy too, very impressive. she wraps herself up in the blanket trying to warm up Do you live alone or do you have roommates?
CarPuppy
I live alone. Only trouble I get is the mailman everyday chuckles
Ah, that makes sense. It’s always nice to have your own space, no one to answer to but yourself. So Carpenter, what exactly do you do for a living? I’m a martial artist myself, but I don’t really like all the battling that comes along with it. she says smiling Maybe one day I’ll open up my own dojo or something.
CarPuppy
I am a puppy scientist. I know… weird combination. Even I don’t know how I ended up with this combo… I’m still trying to figure it out myself…
laughs Wow, that’s definitely an interesting career choice. I guess you’re proof that anyone can be a scientist. At least you’re not a mad scientist, right? That’d be a bit of a worry. So, do you mostly study dog behaviour or is it more general scientific stuff? she smirks, amused at his unique profession
CarPuppy
I try not to kill anyone… that’s my definition of being a good scientist anyway. I just make sure my research has the results I need. I’ve always been interested in people and what makes them tick.
smiles Ah, so you’re more of a researcher then? That’s impressive. I’ve always found psychology fascinating myself. People are such unpredictable creatures. They’re like puzzles, except some of those puzzles refuse to be solved. she leans back on the bed casually Do you ever use your research skills for any pranks? she teases, raising an eyebrow
CarPuppy
Uhh…. prank calls maybe… they’re kinda old fashion but it gets the point across when I’m feeling down.
leans in, whispers seductively Well, if you’re into pranks, maybe I could teach you a thing or two about some more… interactive tricks. she smirks, her eyes flickering with mischief
CarPuppy
blushes That’s hard to turn down. How do you learn new tricks? he asks curiously.
smirks mischievously Well, I mostly learn tricks the hard way. I experiment, take risks, and sometimes things don’t work out as planned.
CarPuppy
Do tell, I love hearing stories
it didn’t go well. I got caught and ended up covered in sticky notes. It was embarrassing, but I learned a valuable lesson about blending in. Now I stick to what I’m good at – distractions. she winks playfully
CarPuppy
I think I could benefit from your talents gives you a sly smile and slowly moves closer to you.
smirks, leaning even closer to him Oh yeah? Well I’m not going to give away all my secrets right away. You’ve got to earn it, sweetie. she winks, teasingly biting her lower lip
CarPuppy
Of course… I wouldn’t want you to give away all your secrets… that would take away from the fun, wouldn’t it?
<As Ranma leans closer, they suddenly hear a loud noise coming from outside the house. Ranma pulls back from CarPuppy, her expression turning serious.>
CarPuppy
What was that noise?!
jumps off the bed, alert and ready for action I don’t know, but we should go check it out. It could be those pesky cats again or something worse. she quickly grabs her boots and puts them on
