Spike's gone. [ Peter's voice sounds rough, like he's been crying and is trying to keep from doing so right now. But this is Spike we're talking about, and Peter isn't coping well. After another couple seconds, he continues. ]

Came home last night, and now he's just... gone. Don't think he's coming back.

[ Peter needs a minute or two after that, pressing a hand over his NV and letting the feed go hopefully silent while he gets himself back together. After what seems like almost too long, he starts again.]

I've been here for over a year now, been through two birthdays, and this place, it never makes any more sense. It never means anything, nothing ever matters. We're the only one's that're real here, and i'm just-- [ a beat ]

I'm just tired of losing people.

[KOS-MOS is just walking along the street. Some people might think she's going shopping but since she isn't human, there's no need. She doesn't work today so it seems she's just patrolling. Or learning more of the cities layout.

Her expression though looks like she wants to be sighing. She turns her NV to look behind her... Where a small, colorful
kitten is following her. It has no collar but some people don't put collars on their cats so...]

It has been following me for ten minutes. I have attempted to coax it to return to its mother or owner but it won't be swayed.

[Why is it following her? And what should she do about it]

If anyone has lost this feline, please alert me and I will bring it to you. It seems intent on following me anywhere.

[She could jump onto a rooftop to avoid it but... dammit, she shouldn't have to go that far.]

[Wolf is sitting in his living room, lounging back on his old sofa. In his mouth is a chicken bone, apparently from the chicken carcass sitting on the coffee table beside him. Oddly enough, it doesn't look like the chicken was cooked.

He sighs, picking his teeth with the bone and glancing at the NV.

City life is making me soft.

[He sits up, launching into a dramatic monologue complete with occasional rolled r's.]

Back home, I didn't have a house or a place to call my own. I was a man of the wilderness, open and frrrree, every day the new beginning of a new adventure! I woke up with the sun and slept under the moon, I dined on the fish and fowl and the fruits of the earth as I found them! Every town was something new, new places to see and people to avoid and beautiful young ladies to admire! OH!

[A sudden snarl.]

But here-- look at me! [He gestures at himself.] Just look! I'm a house dog, here! I'm just a normal old sadsack peasant with my normal old job and my normal old apartment, submitting to the same daily grind I used to pity people for!

[He sighs miserably, gnawing on the chicken bone. Finally he glances up at the camera.]

I want... I want excitement. I want excitement and danger, thrills and drama, I want a rrrrrrromance! I want to drink sweet wine and eat fine foods and enjoy every moment of it! There's a whole city out there that nobody ever pays attention to in our constant trials to stay alive and keep our heads down and make enough money to keep the companies off our backs! Blah, blah, BLAH.

I want to go out tonight and MAKE something of the night! Not just tonight, but every night!

Well- no, wait, I can't really say every night, because I do love my early bedtimes on occasion, hahaha, but SOME NIGHTS.

How about it, huh? Let us Newcomers go out and LIVE our lives instead of hiding inside! When the lights go out and the darkness comes out-- that's when WE'LL come out, my friends!

Who's with me!?

[ There are no grand and glorious proclamations this day, nor joy nor exultations, though his mood is far from poor. Rather, he is thoughtful, and it reflects in his words and tone. ]

A star falls from heaven.

Can it someday return, restored to its proper place?
