hey, did that pet directory ever get made? there are at least four hamsters running around the observation deck. so far they're staying kind of close to me, but if they're yours, please come get them.

[Briefly, a video feed turns on. There sure are three hamsters sitting in front of Hajime, almost posing for the camera. The camera pans to show Hajime's incredulous, perpetually tired face, showing one hamster asleep on his shoulder.]

Whoa-! Wait, wait!!

[The camera pans back quickly to the three hamsters, except now they're all running for him. He lets out a yelp and the video feed turns off.]

be careful not to wake the sleeping one.

right... i'll try my best

i don't know why they keep following me around, though. i've never had a pet in my life

unless you count the hermit crab we passed around in elementary school

[neuralnet]

I'll be of no help, I've never had a pet either.

[hopefragment]

with all the animals turning up, maybe this station is secretly an adoption center. just nobody decided to tell us

[Why is this person laughing at him like a supervillain. That kind of pisses him off? He doesn't recognize the voice or the username.]

I'm glad you think this is funny.

[Meanwhile Gundam would recognize the pained voice of Hinata Hajime anywhere. The unimaginative username aside.]

Reveal unto to me the coordinates of your locality Hinata Hajime... A rapturous meeting awaits us...

voice;

[hopefragment]

[...A what. Maybe I shouldn't tell him.]

Uh... the observation deck. Deck One, [he adds, a little belatedly. If this guy couldn't tell where he was from the video, then... maybe he's just woken up here?]

I don't know that the directory was ever made.

You look well, Hajime.

[hopefragment]

i'll get with akechi and see if we can make one
this is exactly the kind of situation i was worried about, the kind where someone's pets are just wandering around on their own

[Does he look well?? He's pretty sure Alucard is making fun of him for yelping about the hamsters.]

yeah, i've never looked better than with four unexplained hamsters following me around

[reposing]

It is better than I expected.

I heard that you were forced to handle the matter with Rogue.
I apologize for not being there.

[He's honestly concerned that maybe it traumatized Hinata.]

Cute...

[hopefragment]

if i can't find their owner, do you want them?

i don't know anything about taking care of hamsters

[foolishjourney]

I've never handled a hamster before, so I'm not sure I would be the most responsible option.

[solarcharged]

Oh my god. Where are all these animals coming from?!

[hopefragment]

that's my question! it's crazy, right? weird enough that people are waking up here, but animals, too?

maybe we'll get lucky and end up with some fish or cows or something. you know, just start a whole farm.

[No one!! Ever asks!! For his sass!!]

[solarcharged]

Yeah, "lucky". Lucky until the air runs out and we all need to find a space suit for four hamsters, a bunch of cats, and three million dogs.

This is completely fucking mad.

Don't rodents breed incredibly quickly? They should be contained somewhere or we're going to have a serious problem on our hands.

[The walls already yell they don't need to be full of hamsters too]

[hopefragment]

i didn't even think of that...

i don't even know how to tell if they're boy or girl hamsters

Add one more on while you're at it.

It hatched. Not mine, but I'm going to look out for it.

[that is what it being yours generally entails tho]

[hopefragment]

[Doesn't that make it yours...]

oh, it hatched? into... what, exactly?

[bu773rfly]

[sends a photo]

@noir

[mapsio]

They are absolutely precious.
Take good care of them Hajime-san!

[hopefragment]

they're not mine!!

taking care of a pet would be way too much responsibility for someone like me, anyway. i just need to find their owner

[mapsio]

Nonsense! I think you will do a splendid job!
