Beastopian Tails- Reset

[Rayleonarde]

((That'll be disclosed by my next, in-character post. I'm gonna wait for Mary to pass judgment.))

[Ara Av-Toa]

(I welcome anyone, Ray! No problem!)

[Rayleonarde]

Ray stepped forth from the tram, dragging a huge suitcase with him. He held his ID in his teeth, as he figured someone would check to make sure he was a citizen. Ray muttered quiet as he moved his stuff into the apartment building. A few minutes of conversation with the concierge confirmed his fears.
Third floor, last door on the left.
Ray dragged his massive suitcase up the stairs, cursing under his breath. The thudding and clanking echoed across the halls, along with the incessant muttering.

Mary heard some loud noise coming from the hallway. She opened the door to see what it was all about and noticed a raccoon dragging a big suitcase along.

yells BE QUITE WILL YA! and try to continue watching my movie

[Rayleonarde]

Ray stopped moving, and looked to Mary. "A-Am I being to loud?" His voice was barely above a hoarse whisper. "S-Sorry, I'll uh...I'll try to k-keep it down."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Mary said calmly: "Indeed. Indeed you were loud. And with how these hallways echo it's not helping either. But, who are you?"

[lightstone]

pause the movie and see what the nice is al about

[Rayleonarde]

Ray instinctively fished around in his pocket and blanched. "I-I uh....um..." He started patting himself down. "M-My uh...my ID. I...I-I must've misplaced it." Ray looked over his luggage, even though the ID card was laying at his feet.

[lightstone]

looking for your ID, Light said while chuckeling, right at your feet

[Rayleonarde]

Ray turned to look at the new speaker, confused. "At my...Oh!" He knelt and grabbed the ID, checked it over, then handed it to Mary. "I-I'm Ray Blackburn. Of uh...the Blackburn family." He scratched the back of his head. "T-The uh...last...of the Blackburn family."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Mary raised an eyebrow. "The last of the Blackburns? How'd that happen?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray seemed to grow distant, his eyes hazed over, as he stared towards nothing. "How that happened....How did that happen?" The raccoon's ears twitched, as a ringing filled his ears. He could see it clearly. An ill-placed candle, a mother's embrace. His tail sweeping side-to-side in happiness. The clatter of brass on wood, the roar of the flame. Then, silence. Ray shook his head as he looked back to Mary, an odd half-smile on hi lips. "Y'know I...I can't quite remember."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Mary nodded in silence. "Doesn't matter. I can understand it's not an easy topic anyway. Something else; do you like the city?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "Yeah, the city's okay. It's a little loud, but tolerable. I only just arrived, though." He smiled. "How 'bout you?"
