The next few hours after that. We had no choice but to continue on with the festival while acting like we weren't just confronted with the enemy and not just informed that one of their sworn enemies have infiltrated the festival that is supposed to bring animals to a forever home. I smile as I go around until I am allowed back to helping. Victor has gone back to the festival and surprisingly, he's a very good singer...even though he talks like he ate a couple of graters while smoking three cigars. It's fine though. I have aided boys and girls get the perfect pet and member of their family. Especially those that desperately look like they needed a furry friend. I have brought a black cat to a disabled vet, a white cat to a practicing Wiccan suffering anxiety and depression. An adorable little cutie pie of the smaller breeds to a wheelchair bound woman. A strong and resilient Rottweiler that lost his eye due to an 'accident' to a small, skinny as a stick girl. I even gave a pair of pitbulls to an autistic boy as the pitties refuse to leave one another. I don't just give people random pets, I give people the right fits and forever homes. Out of everyone within Estelle, I have been voted as the most accurate and I almost never made mistakes, it has been upgraded to zero percent of mistakes after The Japan Mission. I refuse to give ANY pet to any sort of miserable home.
From young to old. Every pet has been given a home. Those that has participated in animal fighting rings were apprehended and gifted to the police, with some bruises from handling and broken bones if they resisted. And plenty have resisted.
Yumi has been selling plushies left and right. Lumin has been hopping with customers as it's his baking that's at the forefront. It didn't take long for me to be dragged into multiple performances and acts by multiple other students and even staff and faculty.
Caesar has gotten into an argument with multiple kinds of entitled parents with alright kids and entitled kids with alright parents. Never has he been so glad that Lumin didn't have to handle these assholes (the only time I would thank that little demon that's with him) as I know he would have to restrain Yumi from sending them all to the ICU.
I'm not immune to this either. I have interacted with these awful people as well and it took Professor Horatius to restrain me from beating them to the very fraying thread of their lives. Which I had done to at least three ignorant/arrogant women that believed that animals are disposable and to not worry about it. Only to find out that there is consequences for their lies and blasphemy.

I have gotten into deep conversation with a girl that want to adopt a fish. When her mother got dragged out of the festival by her hair, by Nina. "Shouldn't have flirted with a taken man, bitch." I state calmly, Nina smirks as she threw the other woman to the tarmac, "Never miss a beat do you." it wasn't a question. It's a fact. I just smirk as I give the girl the fish (goldfish), she has won all of the tools that she needs to keep these fish alive for a long time.
She's a good sharp shooter.
I have smiled a wide smile as she didn't just win all of the tools and equipment but also won more fish for the one she has already gotten. She has gotten a good haul for all of her fish. She also stopped when she felt that she has gotten enough. She gave me a hug and with her bags as the fish has turned into charms and the fish can only be freed when the tank has been fully set up, food is included. She even got the manual with bookmark of how to take good care of the fish as well as to inform her of how to take care of the tank.
"Hey." said a strange voice, I look behind me (I'm in a bubble...par for the course when dealing with aquatics) and see Kilo...stuffing his face with a burrito with someone with him, "I'm Kilo's friend." they said. A male like him but holds teal for hair, when I say teal, I mean every kind of teal possible, his hair is around half the amount of ungoldly as Kilo wrapped in a ponytail with a braid in it. Slightly round golden eyes, lightly roasted chestnut tan skin. He's dressed in all black with a pearl pink belt. He also has gold jewelry upon his person. Kilo is dressed with a black hoodie (fully zipped up), black sweatpants with floral threaded embroidery upon it that is the colors of the rainbow, black boots with birds on the sides. His hair still the same, "I couldn't stop him." as he begins to downs a large cup that I knew held the strongest coffee possible, Bloodstone Espresso Tripplo. "I doubt that I would've been able to either." I admit as I stand up to fully face him. I dust myself off and hold my hand out, "Crystallia Depths." I state
"Talon Sea." He gives a good shake.

Kilo explains to me that they're trying to find Talon here a pet but he's incredibly picky. So they went to find me and were told by the other Hybrids to take their time trying to find me as if they try and seek me out, they might never find me. Or have Lumin have me appear like Beetlejuice by making his ultimate chocolate cake. That Lumin affectionately calls Summoner's Chocolate as it can summon the individuals that you're looking for. No matter how elusive the person may be, bust out this cake and they'll appear as if you summoned a demon/ghost. I did not blame Talon for being picky, if it isn't a good fit. You can't force a connection. It'll just end badly for not just the person but the animal too.

We walk around, I'm asking all the questions of what Talon sees in a pet. I brought him to the bunnies and I see his golden eyes widen upon the genetically altered bunny that is laying in his bed
fur: black opal
eyes: violet
size: The in between of small to medium size dog
nose: bright pink
gender: male
I look at him with a smirk as this bunny needs a lot of love and safe space, I'm the only one that can handle the bunny as he is incredibly smart. "that's Shade. He didn't come from the best of environments." I explain, "he's the last of his kind as he was created to be either a bioweapon or meat production. The others were killed as they were grown to the size of a bus and used as weapons. When found out, they were used against those that were going to shut them down. He was kept because of his unique black opal fur and violet eyes." I finish as I pick up the bunny in question, his nose twitching and his ears twitching around (his ears can go floppy and fully up) listening for threats. Both boys lock eyes and he isn't trying to rip off his fingers so I let Talon hold him. Shade begins to purr in his arms. "He really likes you." I say, the blue-green haired male look at me questioningly, "he hasn't bitten you and his kicking isn't something to sneeze at." I subtly point to one of the bunny handlers and they have the type of protective gear that law enforcement is yellow-green with envy.
Talon adopted Shade right then and there. I brought him a list with everything that Shade needs in order to be a happy bunny. I had cleaned up his bed (Shade loves clean bedding) and blanket. I also warned Talon that Shade will not hesitate to jump into the bath with him as Shade is possibly the only rabbit that you can actually bathe without consequences. Talon allowed Shade to pick out his carrier. He jumped in the pillowed carrier with clear visible windows in certain places. Shade also dragged in his blanket, signaling that if Talon isn't getting that carrier, he's in for a world of hurt. I smile as Talon just ponies up the cash without questions.

Kilo just sat back and enjoyed seeing how his friend got a fur child after one hour of being guided by me...instead of the past three-six flipping days that the festival has been going on.
