WHERE: Around Central Square, Seven Star Mall and roaming the streets of Brick alley
WHEN: Last days of Cristmasween.
WHAT: walking and talking
WARNINGS: none

Goood evening, Kaisou! Well almost. [it's going on four and the sun is starting to set, but Stede wants to look his best in his white fluffy coat and white shirt and white trousers and white sunglasses with rhinestones glittering at the corners and the handle of a rhinestone studded leash]

I'm back in town. How did everyone's holidays go? Mine were fantastic! Couldn't ask for better. [it's a lie but no one needs to know that]

Anyone have any rocking New Year's party plans? I've been looking for a bit of a shindig to really cut loose. Woah!

[there's a low grunt and he's pulled staggering a few feet]

No, no. We don't chase after cars! Behave, M!

[and then back at the camera]

Does anyone know of any good vets in the area? I want to give little M a checkup! [and he turns the camera to show a, familiar to some, large brown bear with a studded glittering collar] I know he looks frightening, but he's a sweetie really.

I think it's a he.

Could be a she.

Hard to tell with all that fur, isn't it?

Wait. Isn't that the same bear you tried to report a while back?

[Yes, he saw it. No, he didn't reply to it. What was he going to say that would help a guy with a bear problem?]

[There's so much to unpack with this]

Little M?

[THATS A BEAR]

Yes, actually! Just a little lonely. A bit in need of some love. May even be a magic or enchanted bear! Imagine that. A little bit of magic for my own.

[he gives the bear a pat on the head and then jerks his hand back as it tries to bite him]

A bit touch averse. Got to remember that.

Well, he- or she! Does look a bit small compared to the ones I looked up on line. So possibly they're still a cub!

Or not. Hard to make a direct comparison and it's very difficult to get M to sit on a bathroom scale. But if you have any training tips, lay them on me. I'm an eager learner.

Uh huh. Well, I guess size is relative....

[Training...tips]

Ah- I only really know some stuff about cats and birds, and I'm pretty sure that stuff falls well short of what your...bear needs.

Have you tried talking to people at the zoo? They might have ideas.

Yes. Well, I'm a bit worried about that, you see. I mean if M was a normal bear I would well- give them over to the proper authorities straight away. I mean, I'd think about it. I've read what they do to bears who had human contact, not of their own fault, mind!

I'm sure that even a tentative ask to the zoo might bring someone round to my door.

But I'm pretty sure M is a magic bear so I'm keeping a close eye on ...er... them! I suppose I could ask on the darkweb. I've heard things about that but I don't know how to find it. Something about Carol Chan? I don't know.

[ 💧 ]

Y-Yeah, okay point taken but that's not a good idea if you want to avoid the authorities. Let's stay cleaaar of the dark web, okay?

[Elliot's never been on it, but he knows it's a place average people should Avoid]

Man, if only Professor Willow was still around, he might've known what to do... [Pokemon were pretty close to bears, some of them anyway; he sighs] What have you been feeding M?

Professor Willow? Is he trained with bears? Oop! Here we go!

[M is on the trail of something and is dragging Stede along for the ride]

Anything they want really. M doesn't understand 'no' very well yet. We're working on it. Fortunately they're not overly fond of Bran Flakes. I mean, neither am I, but at least I can eat it so long as I don't put honey on it.

Last night they ate two whole pizzas. And almost the pizza delivery person, but she had a good head start. [a sigh] Another delivery place to cross off the list, I suppose.

I think you're going to give one of the local vets a beary unexpected surprise.

[Danny hadn't even tried to resist the opportunity.]

Maybe try one of the vets that work at the zoo?

[Danny didn't know a lot about different kinds of vets, but he'd spent enough time volunteering at the local animal shelter to know that the ones he'd met there didn't treat animals this big.]

That pun was a bit grizzly [Stede can't resist it either]

If I take M to the zoo, the zoo might want to keep them. It just wouldn't be responsible handing unsuspecting zoo keepers a magic bear. But a bear is not that much different from a cat or dog right? Maybe there's some sort of black market vet that could give them a lookover.

He was an expert on Spirit Realm beings, so magical bears would've surely been in his wheelhouse...

[So. in other words. He's letting the bear eat whatever]

Well, okay. I think the first step is to try to make sure M doesn't eat you out of house and home. Bears like salmon, I know that. So maybe you can try feeding that to them?

Oh I see.

And yes, oh I remember that! Saw it on a nature documentary once. I suppose I could have some fish sent up.

Oh and maybe look into getting a bear sitter for when I want a night on the town. [a sly smile] You wouldn't happen to be looking for part time work would you? $50 dollars an hour?

"Actually I think a bear is very different from a cat or a dog," Danny points out. "By about 500 pounds."

A pause.

"Do black market vets actually exist? Is that a real thing?"

[ 💧 ]

Ah, thanks but no thanks. I get enough sitter work being a full-time high school teacher. Don't think I wanna try it with a bear in my off hours.

Uh...right.

[He cringes when the bear tries to bite him.]

Are you...sure it's magic and you haven't just been lucky so far?

This place has given me a cat and a fish, but...uh...I think I'm hoping those are the only animals I get now.
