@roadslain / sc. 

He’s become more accustomed to dogs of late -- Will’s pack in wolf trap having grown on him in the months he’s spent coming by to watch them while Will is away on FBI business -- but if Hannibal had to choose between cats or dogs, he’d certainly acknowledge that cats were more suitable to his lifestyle.  ( He sees the thing outside his home, notices it from the sliding door leading to the dining room.  He’s on his way to the kitchen to finish a dish, and stops to look at the creature on the other side of the glass. ) 

hm.

Hannibal disappears into the kitchen and returns to the glass with a sliver of raw meat in his hand.  ( perhaps it’s will’s influence.  picking up strays, now. )  He slides the door open, the snow outside a severe contrast from the warmth of his home, and holds the strip of meat out. 

“ Where did you come from, hm ... ?  It’s cold out there. “

Dead cat. Dead cat. Laying on the side of the road- oh. Not so dead it seems, dragging itself to its feet & stumbling forwards as he drags himself back to his haunches no matter the way it’s body contorted awkwardly with the weight of death in its system. Unkillable, tick off another life from the count of nine.

@roadslain is getting adopted !

               ❝ I’ve never owned a cat. Actually, I’ve never had a pet of any kind before. Not even one of those one cent fish at the fair. Delia would probably kill me if I brought you home. So I guess you’re coming with me. ❞

@roadslain liked this and gets Pete

   Pete was a fan of animals. He has always wanted a pet while growing up but being in apartments always prevented that -- plus he had school to worry about and he didn’t want to add anymore stress to his aunt. On his way back home, he noticed a peculiar cat. He recognized it as the one he helped the other day and he tilted his head, wondering how exactly it got here. It didn’t follow him , did it?

“ -- hey, little guy. How’s it going? ”

@roadslain​ !

                 from   ear - to - ear   stretches   double   the   grins   ---   utterly   endeared   by   the   sight   of   his   scrappy   little   hell   spawn   dressed   to   the   NINES   in   his   own   teeny   clown   outfit   (   although   it   had   been   a   god   awful   pain   to   work   around   matted   fur  ,   the   end   result   is   worth   the   struggle   .  .  .   for   arthur  ,   that   is  )  .   “   just   look   at   ya’  ,   chruch - y  !   ”   he’ll   adjust   a    heavily   pattered   bowtie   for   good   measure  .   “   you’re   a   real   chip   off   the   old   block  !   ”

@roadslain​​ said:  “Dark beasts lurk here. Be cautious.”

thin boy makes his way through the trees,  boots sinking into fresh wet ground. his  clothes stink of the rain, barely dry.  be cautious. patrick doesn’t understand  that. he feels electricity through his  veins in this place, just like he would  at the junkyard.

it holds the same scent, the same aura  comes off in waves. dark beasts lurk  here   yes, and he’d just ARRIVED.  hands press into the hard bark of the  trees, and he takes a deep breath in.  AH, FRESH AIR. his laugh echos  through the forest. be cautious         patrick didn’t have that, he couldn’t.  he just moves forward. “   why bring me here if i’m not meant to have  fun.”

@roadslain​ said: The cat is mad dogging the other from the roof of his car, a dead raccoon sits upon the hood, and claws flex. Any step billy makes to the car the cat lets a hiss of furry, maw falling open and a swat of nasty claws-

In any typical situation Billy is fine with cats-- not too fond of them especially when they are scratching the roof of his car, but he never went out of his way to fuck with them. An inhale of breath as he steps closer to Church, eyebrows furrowing. Great. He has places to be and admittedly he’s already going to be late. “You’re getting paw prints all over my hood--”  It’s not baby talk in the slightest, just a regular tone of voice. “You can have the damn dead thing as long as you get off my car.”
