You were just ushered into a large park by a murder of loud and insistent crows who somehow manage to get the gate shut behind you before they fly off. The park is awfully green for such a dead-looking town. It's dusk, and things are starting to get a little noisy at the edge of the tall iron fence that surrounds the area. There are gazebos, cobblestone pathways, gentle slopes, and of course, the lake and the island with the large, dead tree. It's full of crows, and if you stare at them, they'll all stare back. Feel free to take a load off on one of the many iron and wood benches, but the gates to the city are closed!

This does not, however, mean you are barred from ghost-watching as night progresses. Remember, they won't see you!

[Oh - a human! Moment of interest on the approach, shortly followed by a sag.] I never liked cats...

[Which is really completely irrelevant to anything at hand. Paw. So, proceeding.]

Uh -- are there really? Did... the crows chase you in, too?

[Another look back up the gate. Another look back down from the birds, another round of hair-raising yeesh.]

Man, I totally feel ya, cats 'n me ain't never got along. [so emphatic.]

[BUT ANYWAY, he shrugs and nods, looking down as he scuffs his foot on the ground] I was on my way to baseball practice. I lost my stuff.

What do you mean, lost?

The birds didn't take it, did they? [If there's even an off-chance it might be within the fence, he could easily offer to sniff it out - or he wishes he could say so in a hundred percent good faith; his sense of smell seems to be a little damp...]

Nah bro, I dropped it while I was runnin'. [he waves to the gate with one hand] S'out there somewhere, I could probably find it myself so long as it don't rain.

Oh, yeah? [His eyes flicks through the gaps in the gate - doubts he'll spot anything from here, but nevertheless - outside the park!] As long as someone lets us out, too!

[Since, clearly the birds aren't doin' it.

He turns, falls back against the gate, and droops with a sigh and crossed arms. So much for that, in the meantime, and so much for the human(?)'s things!

And... once he gets that out his expression neutralizes. Refocuses to make eye contact.]

Uh -- I could help you look later, by the way! [He isn't sure how much he should be saying - somewhere in deciding how this sounds he lifts a hand and points approximately to his nose.] I, uh... have a really good sense of smell.

[Snort. He totally forgot about that part for a second there] Oh yeah, bein' let out is kinda important.

Oh yeah, me too! S'what I meant 'bout it not rainin', cuz that'd wash the scent away, an' then I couldn't trace it back. [pause] Um. S'not as weird as it sounds, I swear.

[His eyes and mouth flicker a bit more open - that is what that had meant, then, how about that...] Oh - [And tweaks that into a grin, there's a little of a laugh in his voice.] - that doesn't sound weird at all!

I mean, I dunno if I'd be able to find it if it rained, either, but uh -- [He leans forward just a bit, another point at his nose.]

You wouldn't say you have a nose like a dog's, would you?

[Oh man, he's gonna lean in, grinning from ear to ear] That is like, exactly what I'd say.

[then he lowers his voice to a conspiratorial whisper] You a werewolf too, bro? Cuz I mean... that would be awesome.

[He's beaming with his eyes and ears (metaphorically) wide open when he leans in further likewise -

Flicks blank.] A "were"... wolf?

[There's "wolf". He's talking to a "werewolf". He says he's got the sense of smell of a wolf. From the way it's put together, it ought to be a kind of wolf, so maybe, but again... what's saying too much?

He blows that through, picks up where he left off. Endeavors not to sound too thrown.]

Uh -- [Shakes his head, leaves it at a tilt.] -- I dunno! What's that?
