[is all over this you have no idea.]

[He has been craving some pussy so much after all. Let's give him some!]

[Oh I bet Russell has been craving some sort of pussy. Maybe he didn't exactly have this sort in mind, but...]

[Well, there it is. Or, more accurately, there's what appears to be a stray person behind the bar of the Toybox. He's curled up, probably asleep in his dirty jeans and hoodie, tucked very tightly in the shadows. As though he was hiding and just fell asleep.]

[It's a very Loki sort of thing you have to admit.]

[Russell isn't really sure why he's the one taking the trash out, but it was starting to stink and no one else is around to do it. He spots the (assumed) crazy hobo and frowns, sighing as he nudges the sleeping figure with a foot.]

Hey. Unless you want some glass bottles dumped on your ass you better find somewhere else to nap.

[Artemis was sleeping just fine until someone started prodding at him. With their foot no less. He's up on his hands and turning around almost in a second, and reflexively hissing at--]

Russell... [At least he's able to quash the feeling of rubbing his forehead against Russell's knee to show he didn't mean it. He was just startled...]

[He looks up at Russell, then around at the alley where it seems he spent the night. It was tiring, hiding from people.] Can I come inside? I wasn't able to break in this morning.

[Well that was a new one. He hadn't expected the dirty hobo to be Artemis, and he certainly hadn't expected him to start hissing at him. The young man had a room, and plenty of people he could call, including Russell, so why was he sleeping in an alley? Russell would have to find out.]

[He nods his assent, reaching out to pull Artemis closer with an arm around his waist]

Sure, you can come in. And then you can tell me why you were sleepin' in the alley instead of callin' me like a normal person.

[What had happened? He's curious, and though he won't admit it, a little worried. He couldn't imagine that this meant anything good.]

I left my phone at home. [He blushes, looking embarrassed. He had just wanted to go for a walk. A short one. And then once he was out he had been certain everyone was looking at him and could tell he had certain tendencies under his hood. Which led to him trying to get into the Toybox as a safe haven, and instead he was trapped whilst people walked the strip.]

I'll show you why I was sleeping in an alley... once we're in private.

Well I guess you won't do that again. [Russell chuckles, leading Artemis to the back door and unlocking it so they could both head inside]

[The club is the quietest it ever is as Russell turns on the house lights, looking at Artemis and trying to figure out what the young man wants to show him.]

So can you show me what's wrong out here, or do we need to go back in my office?

[Artemis looks around nervously. If the club were open, if there was anyone else around, then he would certainly want to go to Russell's office. But seeing as it seemed they were alone...]

[The young man looks down at the ground, humiliated, and pulls back his hood. Two cat ears flick out from under the hood, and a black tail slides out from being up against Artemis' back (rather painfully, at that). Artemis fidgets for a moment, ears turning this way and that to better pick up any sound.]

I found them when I woke up yesterday morning.

[Russell blinks when he sees the ears, at first thinking they're just really good fakes. But then they twitch. And then the tail comes out from under his sweater and starts flicking back and forth. And now he can see why Artemis was hiding. Especially in this city.]

[He reaches out and softly touches the ear, almost petting him like he would an actual cat]

Huh. So I guess you've been stayin' inside and away from someone that might want to keep you as a pet, huh?

[Not that Russell wasn't getting the same idea...]

Y-yes, that was the idea... [He blushes more--Artemis' ears are sensitive when they're human ears. Now? It's just worse. The ear flicks under Russell's hand nervously.] At least, non-consentually. I suppose it would be flattering if someone asked, but I doubt the people who walk about at night are keen on asking.

Oh is that so? [Well since Arty doesn't seem to mind too much, Russell is just going to keep petting his ear and right behind it, running his fingers through the soft hair]

[He leans down and kisses the ear in question before whispering]

So does that mean that if I ask really nicely and pet you that you might come home with me?

[Oh that feels nice... Artemis feels a little dirty for doing so, but he can't help it: he starts purring low in his throat. He's not in heat, though! And he just slept in an alley for god's sake, he shouldn't be this happy about having his ears petted!]

I'm hungry and I want a bath. [He flattens his ear so Russell can't get at it for a little bit. It just wasn't fair: now his weakness was right there on top of his head.]

[Russell has never been a big fan of cats, but he thinks he can get used to this. So he'll keep scratching the ear and he nods.]

Well, we can't have that, can we? Come on then, I guess I should take this poor dirty kitten home.

[He has someone he can call to keep an eye on the club while he deals with this. Besides, he needs a day off. And it would be a good way to spend his time, getting to know his new pet right?]

[Artemis is a little nervous about what's going to happen once Russell gets him behind a closed door. He's mostly certain that Russell wouldn't chain him to the bedpost and just leave him there as a convenient pet. Russell is probably just being Russell: lascivious and aggressively so.]

I'm not entirely a cat. [Though if Russell didn't feed him soon, Arty was definitely going to start whining.]

[Have a laugh Yuri! Or, maybe more accurately, someone sleeping in your bed when you get home one night. The covers are all the way over his head, and there's a sweatshirt that was definitely not there before thrown over the back of a chair.]

Someone here?

[It is indeed someone Yuri knows. Someone who didn't feel safe as a walking fetish, and so went to one of his best friends for help. Said friend happened to be out, and the bed was just sitting there.....]

[Artemis stirs, taking his sweet time pushing himself up and stretching under the covers.] It's me, Yuri. Not someone here to go through your refrigerator and then your underwear drawer. [Nnngh, he just wants to flop over and go back to sleep. This was all so stressful.]

It's funny how you think those're the first things to go through my head. Something up, or you just pop in for a nap?

...Yes, I have a problem. [He sits up and pulls the comforter down, away from his head. Two cat ears flick forward once the comforter passes over them. His eyes even seem to glow in the dim light as he looks over at Yuri (a little dismayed that he can actually see somewhat in the dark).]

I believe Loki has struck again.

A-Are those cat ears?

...Yes. [Artemis sighs--he can't tell if Yuri is blushing or not, and he takes that stutter as a sign of surprise.] I woke up and, well, there they were. Though these are only half of it.

[He slides out of the bed. While Artemis appears to be fine sleeping shirtless, he at least kept his pants on. And there's a sleek black tail sloping gracefully out of a hole Artemis cut just below the waistband of the spare jeans Loki gave them all (as though he would cut a hole in his good pants--please).] And it's all real, everything works. [He flicks his ears and tail to demonstrate, sighing heavily.] I've become a walking fetish.

No idea how to get rid of them?

No... [He sighs, crossing his arms, assuming Yuri is only coming closer to get a better look. It is bizarre: cat ears on a human. Functional cat ears, no less.] I suspect this is another one of Loki's tricks that I will simply have to wait out.

[He shifts a little, looking uncomfortable.] Would it be alright if I stayed here for a few days? I'm afraid of what might happen out there if anyone catches wind of something interesting walking down the strip. That is the reason I came here--to avoid being harassed, mostly.

[Well, Russell isn't quite that much of a bastard, so there will be no tying to the bed unless Artemis actually wants him to. Which he's pretty sure isn't going to happen.]

[He chuckles, flipping his phone out to make a couple of quick texts.]

I noticed that. Looks like it's just the ears and tail. [And possibly a couple of traits, because he's pretty sure that the Arty he remembers wouldn't sleep in an alley, especially not by accident]
