Tanaka-san, where are you currently located? Do you still need to see to the feeding of any of the Tanaka Kingdom this morning?

[ look if she can ALSO see cute animals being fed - and help??? - while giving him chocolates, it's a bonus. ]

The reptiles should remain satisfied until tomorrow, however the avians require their morning sustenance still yes.
Currently I am still in the bedroom.

[He's got one more claw to file down for the day...working with some very young babies later at work, so gotta be careful!]

Is there something you need?

I should like to request to join you this morning for the feeding of the avians, then, if I may!

If that is not acceptable, I would still like to meet up later.

[ but animals ]

Kehehe...have you found yourself enraptured by their birdsong so soon?
You may accompany me for this task. They grow fond of visiting with so many different people, they will surely enjoy the time spent with you.
Are you able to spare fifteen minutes?

[Animals! Who can blame her for wanting to see the animals too? Nobody, especially not this demon.]

I have! It is nice to hear birdsong once again.
While I do not believe any of us felt the lack as sorely as you did, I find I did miss such things.
And I of course can spare fifteen minutes! I have no plans today until the evening.
Though I may be applying for a job soon!

Even I am willing to admit the island had begun to wear me down with its lack of proper beasts. [IT WAS THE WORST.]
As long as the Dragon Prince is able to keep his urges in check, avians should be welcome here for a long time.
You will have many chances to enjoy it beyond what the dojo may offer.
Then I shall meet you in the living room once this span of time has passed!
But to have plans made so quickly already? Just what I would expect of you.
What sort of employment do you seek?

[A friendly chat will make this filing business so much more enjoyable. Thank you, Sonia.]

[ Luckily she was already in the living room, so she can just chill here as she waits. ]

His urges?
Does he want to chase them?

[ ????????????? SURELY NOT EAT THEM? ]

As to that, I was thinking I might apply for employment at the movie theater in Bavan proper.
I do not really know enough about part-time jobs to be that particular...
I have never been permitted to hold one before.
But that sounds like it could be interesting, does it not?

[ Besides, she can learn what's playing faster that way???? ]

If you have noticed, his fur is a particular shade of red, and his tail an unmistakable curl.
He is of the Spitz breed, specifically a Shiba Inu. As a small game dog, he does seem rather fond of chasing birds, yes.

[Well...hunting them...really.....yeah all those dead birds in the dojo are his fault. Though whether that is a Shibe's urge to hunt small game or a Were's urge to hunt in general is something he's not actually sure of, but he assumes it's the former rather than the latter.

If it were the latter he'd...probably hunt humans instead right?]

It sounds like something you would enjoy, yes.
There should be many different opportunities there for you to conquer.
I look forward to watching you usurp their king!

Ooooh! I had not realized.
So in addition to the werewolf urges, the canine upon which his were self is based also comes into play?
How curious a thing!
The end of the month cannot come fast enough. I am curious as to what the four of us are to become.

[ SHE'S...GENUINELY EXCITED......... ]

I will of course aim for the management!
If I cannot enact a corporate takeover, what is my training for?

This is my current working theory, yes.
If it were his Werewolf instincts that drove him to hunt, surely he would have sought human prey rather than birds.
He's also grown more energetic as the days wear on, something which I have not consistently observed in other Werewolves, but is very pronounced in Shibas.
I have been watching him closely for other signs as well.
As for your changes, I am also highly curious to see what you will become.
Hopefully you will learn your monsters much quicker than Kuzuryuu had.

[That was a loonnnng process...]

There is no room for doubt!
No mortal will be capable of stopping you from such a goal!

[He's just about done. Just needs to make sure they're all uniform.]

How long did it take Kuzuryuu-san to learn his monster?
I must admit that I should be disappointed in myself could I not guess what I was soon on!
Well, it cannot be helped if that is the case.
As to Kuzuryuu-san's Shiba side, I would be interested to hear of any other signs.
It is not a thing I ever thought werewolves to have, canine traits from sources other than the wolf.
Well, the media-version wolf, I suppose?

[ She assumes monster media got real-wolf things wrong, but defers to Gundam's expertise on that. ]

With so many of us planning to have jobs, a schedule board of some sort would likely be ideal.

I would say around three months.
There are many internal changes that one can receive which may not be telling.
For example, many monsters seem to have a heightened sense of sight.
If that was the only thing given to you for your first change, it would be impossible to guess exactly what you would be turning into.
This is the main culprit behind Kuzuryuu's late recognition.
Facing the Ordeal of the Mountain did not help either, however.

[Spending a month as a faerie makes it impossible to tell that you're a werewolf.]

He shared many traits with a Shiba before, which seem to have increased in intensity with these changes.
His strong will and impressive personality are even more pronounced at times now, which in itself is a trait of the noble Shiba.
He has an aversion to most water it would seem, avoiding puddles as best as he can while walking outside.
I will let you know if there are any more that make themselves apparent to me, as that is all I have right now.
A schedule board would not be a terrible idea. It would make it easier to correspond with one another.
I am now leaving the room, and will see you shortly.

[ She wants to ask about this Ordeal of the Mountain, but maybe later - ]

I shall await your arrival eagerly!

[ For now, it's kind of hard to walk with the laptops while typing, so she'll just send a farewell and shut her own to wait for him. ]

[It's extremely hard to do both, yes. Not only that though, but he isn't even bringing his, leaving it in the bedroom because he'll have to go back to change for work anyway.

But he makes it to the living room fairly quick, knowing exactly where it is.]

Do you believe you are prepared to face these powerful beasts, Sonia?

[Hello friend, he is here, are you ready?]

[ SHE IS SO READY. To feed the birds! Since she's waiting until after that to give him his Valentine's chocolates.

It would be entirely rude to stop him in the plan she'd requested to be involved in just to give him a present, when the plan involved feeding cute birds. Can't make the birds wait. ]

I am indeed! I shall not shrink in terror from them, though their awesome power is surely to be feared.

[He doesn't reply at first, simply motioning with a hand for her to follow! If she's ready, there's no point in standing around and wasting time, right?]

If you are able to hold your ground while beholding their might, they will accept you into their kingdom easily. With such a brave soul at my side this should be a quick task.

[To the bird lair!]

[ And she'll tag along easily enough, needing absolutely no encouragement. Birds!!! She's just assuming they will be cute as fuck birds rather than terrifying beasts of the night, since Tanaka's idea of "terrifying monstrosities" usually fits Sonia's idea of "how adorable". ]

What are the names of these denizens of the Tanaka Kingdom?

[They are very cute birds! Three budgies, how cute can you get? Well...parakeets technically, but details. There's a blue one, a green and yellow one, and a pretty grey and pink one, who all start chittering and whistling once the two of them enter.]

Actually, they are all fairly new denizens, and as of yet do not have names.

[He's been thinking very hard on this fact! Them and the two geckos...he leads her over to a bag of bird seed.]

I have been awaiting a show of their power before deciding on just the right names.

Ah, but they are so charming! [ She's dropped the "terrifying" since she can see them now, eyes lighting up as she claps her hands together. Sonia has never been good at not calling cute animals cute. Of course, she's also never really been scolded for it, which is probably why she hasn't corrected her habit as of yet. ]

You will let me know when you name them, yes? Tanaka-san's names for things are always really exciting. My own are less so...even the horses at home did not have names worthy of your standards, I fear. What do you need me to do?

Mmm...whoever owned them before must have cared greatly for them. [He offers her a small scoop that's full of the bird seed.] Another reason I have yet to name them is the hope their true owners will come seeking for them...so that they may be returned. But if this does not happen soon, they will require new titles.

Take that, and follow me. [He has two scoops of his own, one in each hand, and leads the way to the cages.]

Feeding the avians is as simple as opening up the hatch for their food and pouring the seed inside the tub. Their water seems clean enough to leave for now.

Understood!!

[ That is indeed pretty simple. ...But it puts her in close vicinity of the birds, and she gets to be involved in a fun activity with Tanaka, so simple doesn't bother her in the least. Sonia even hums a little bit as she goes about her assigned task, opening up the food hatch and pouring the seeds inside from her single small scoop. ]

So cuuuuuuuuuute! [ Fluffy. They're so fluffy......... ]

[Fluffy and very excited about getting food! The one she fed chirps and flutters over to perch on the edge of the tub, pecking excitedly at the food. The other two follow suit as Gundam feeds them as well.]

I am sure they are flattered by such a compliment...

[He is. Maybe not as much as he would be, if they were animals he'd raised himself, but there's a little color in his cheeks anyway.]

Ehehehe! I would like to join you in the mornings more often, if it involves them.

[ Well. And even if it didn't. But start small??? She beams up at him, before turning her attention back to the birds. They look so happy, eating - ]

Ah! That is right! I also have something for you, Tanaka-san.

You are more than welcome to do so. The castle residents becoming more acquainted with the kingdom denizens is something I highly encourage.

[Very important things! But he turns his attention to her, a little surprised by this.]

For me?

Yes! You are aware of the commercial holiday currently taking place?

[ ah...sonia, you could put it differently...but it isn't something they celebrate in Novoselic. From her pocket, Sonia extracts a red paper bag, which she holds out cheerfully. Inside are cat shaped chocolates, though the shapes are a little clumsily made. She Tried. ]

I thought I would take the opportunity to participate! It seems fun, no?
