Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a concientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be.
The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapien. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed.
Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human.
So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know?
 As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo!
All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best.
However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to.
According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right.
Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child.
It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant.
Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet.
These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders.
Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions.
Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends.
Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans.
With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master! |

The group keeps secrets well, though, so there's no worries about that issue. Rena comments that Vash "smells human" so that's why they were confused, obviously, but it'll make the secret easier to keep. With the serious discussion out of the way, Raven gives something of a smile before nodding his head toward the stage, where Ciel gets up to follow after him. He Will Not be doing this alone thank you.
Karaoke is back on, and Rose is stealing Raven's seat on the couch.]
Haha, I haven't explained to Vash how it works yet, and if you steal that from me, I'll lock you in the freezer.
[Ain is all smiles as he says that, even though Ara is kind of right when she quietly says "you should probably tell him?", but Ain waves her off. They'll talk about it in private because he knows having an entire discussion about how much nasty sex they'd have is going to make him have to leave early. We are not doing this. And you guys are not explaining to his boyfriend how to dick down.]
Great. Did I escape the sausage party discussion?
[Rose is... very Gay also, you see. Like, she will get up and do something else at certain points to avoid the discussion of dicks, sort of like how Ain will do it if it has to deal with boobs. They have T-minus 15 minutes until the girls entirely take over and the discussion is less "what's our good pal Ain doing with that nice alien boy :)" and more "why do we have to wear bras, anyway?"]
No, 'cause we still gotta know... Vash. [Elesis leans forward. Tents her fingers in front of her face.] Does Ain treat you right?
[why would you mate with someone if the sex is bad y'know?]
no subject
He manages to shake that thought off as Raven and Ciel shuffle away and Rose returns after singing what must have been the 10th Taylor Swift song. Then, Elesis is going immediately for the kill, and Vash…]
…yes?
[ :3?
He doesn’t know what she means.]
no subject
So, while everyone else is understanding exactly what Elesis means in this moment, Vash is not. All Ain does is lay against his boyfriend's shoulder to let this conversation happen. DOES he treat you right, babe?
Meanwhile, a metal rendition of Total Eclipse Of The Heart plays.]
Really? You don't sound too sure. You can be honest.
Ms. Knight-Captain... I'm the nicest partner ever! Not that you would know, of course.
[Because Ain doesn't fuck with women. These two will continue to be vaguely suggestive about this whole conversation until Ciel and Raven are done reliving their band era, at which point they'll switch out, because Aisha is dragging Rena and Ara up with her. Rose, meanwhile, knows where this is headed, and excuses herself to get them more drinks and snacks, even though there's still a shitton of snacks on the table.
There's a brief "what are we talking about?" and then "Elesis is grilling Vash on if Ain is good to him" and it goes back and forth, again, until finally Ciel catches wind that Vash doesn't exactly get it and just blurts out:]
She's asking if he puts you first in bed. You know, [sips drink,] if he actually makes you cum or not.
[Elesis, leaning forward with interest, she'll smack a fuckboy if Ain's being a fuckboy she's not afraid of him OR the freezer]
no subject
Vash is about a third of the way through his fourth mojito, actually mid sip, when Ciel gives him a more blunt answer, which results in Vash choking some of it back into his glass. He coughs into his arm for a minute before looking at Ain to see if he’s reacted at all- he may be asleep- and then turning to look back at the rest of the group. Staring.
Oh.]
He…
[Vash sinks into his jacket a bit like a turtle, because he’s IMMEDIATELY thinking of the last time they had sex, in which Ain edged him until he cried. He’s very, very red.]
Yes…he does….
no subject
Meanwhile, the crowd of frat boys goes wild. Sarcastic, drunken applause. A comment of "I'm glad you're not a fuckboy!" and then Elesis following that up with "I was gonna take him out back and whoop his ass if he was bad to you", and then two comments that overlap with each other, one being Ciel's and the other being Elsword's.]
Oh, you're the bottom?
Does Ain edge you to the point of tears, too??
[The point when the girls drunkenly talk about bras could not come sooner, honestly.]
no subject
Then, Vash sits UP.]
Too??
no subject
[Ain sits up, grabs a handful of popcorn chicken, flops back against Vash's shoulder, and starts munching. It's only when he's halfway through that he realises others are waiting for him to explain, and so he carefully puts his hand down, away from his mouth. Swallows. Then:]
I told you I slept around a lot before we met, right? Me and the guys all had a... [flips wrist about] few turns.
[turns??? turns on what? the dick???]
no subject
He just. Didn't think he'd be meeting them...especially not in close quarters while everyone is drunk and apparently very willing to share Stories about it.
He decides to knock back another quarter of his drink because holy shit he's ready to be white girl wasted now he doesn't want to think anymore, sweet release of alcohol please carry him away.
Vash doesn't want to say he's worried about if he performed well compared to everyone else, but also...]
So none of you......mated. Right?
[Vash honey remember it's like marriage-]
no subject
And this is only like maybe 1/4th of all the guys Ain has slept with, okay, remember that asshole who left him tied to the bed and walked out on him? Do we have to rehash that story because Ain would LOVE to talk shit.
Anyway. In case Vash for some reason takes Add's abrupt departure as a yes...]
Haha, no, not at all. A lot of it was spur of the moment, but no one actually mated with me. [Now. Ain would love to tell Vash who did wind up sleeping together and actually made a full pet-marriage out of the act, but that's for them to disclose. Instead, he leans in to kiss Vash's cheek all soft-like, and whispers softly,] I'm still waiting for you to sink your teeth into me.
[There's your hint for the evening, have another kiss, and then Ain's going back to snacking.]
I've never wanted to bind myself to anybody permanently before you. [Group "awws" except for Ciel who just sort of snorts into his glass like alright buddy you get that alien dick.]
no subject
Ough. That last drink he had before this one is finally catching up with him...he can feel the room beginning to swim a little as they talk, but more than that, he just finds that he's caring a bit...less about everything. Rather, he's not embarrassed to be talking about this, even though everyone here is now VERY aware that Ain has fucked him into a smear at this point. He gives a soft sort of acknowledging sound at Ain's kiss, at least until he says that into his ear and just.
Makes Vash die? He's so red, now. If he had a tail like everyone else, it would be beating the couch. Ain why would you do this to him when they're still very much at Karaoke and he can't put his tongue down your throat in front of everyone.
...well. He could. He definitely COULD. But is he drunk enough yet for that...
Vash lifts a free hand to rub the back of his neck, looking appropriately sheepish.]
A-ahah, well...I never...thought I'd be with anybody...period, you know? It makes me really happy.
no subject
Eventually, the conversation will turn around to something less overtly sexual but still fratboyish. Aka: Vash, can you sing. Do you like singing? Why don't you and Ain go do a duet. :) They're here for you. They're here to cheer you on.
Ain is pulling Vash up onto the stage. Hi babe what do you like singing? Do you know Moana—]
no subject
So if yall wanted to see Vash get up there with his bird boyfriend and make a fool of himself, now is your chance. Maybe the girls can start talking about something less gouache, like smuggling snacks home in their purses.]
no subject
When they sit down to switch out with others, the girls are, indeed, trying to drunkenly jenga tower snacks into Rena's bag. Which goes as expected. "Put the gummy bears on the bottom" and "wait don't take the pretzels I'm not done with the pretzels" and "do you think chicken wings will fit in your purse or is that too messy" followed by "I can shove three chicken wings in my mouth at once". This conversation, as they might find out watching this, was preceded by such facts as "I just had to run to the bathroom to rip the underwire out of my bra because it was stabbing me in the ribs" and "like honestly if I didn't have a uterus, I'd be happier".
So you know. Girl stuff. This is what girls are about. It's not naked pillow fights, it's not gossip, it's about the most innocuous shit leading up to the kidnapping of several innocent snacks. At one point, Elesis yells something about how Swedish Fish aren't even Swedish (they are) and it sparks an argument. Because how could you not know. The Swedes are in the label on the bag.
Just when you'd think things are winding down for the night, since the barkeeper has revoked their alcohol because Jesus Christ You Guys... the topic of bands comes up, and then further Ain lore is revealed: he and Ciel and Raven did try to start a band once. And so did a lot of people, apparently. They've got a few more songs in them to try to sober up before they all go home (Chung is passed out on the couch dead asleep), so.
While Add tasks Vash with seeing how many oreos he can steal from Rena's purse when she's watching the stage, because might as well be a gremlin about stuff right, the former bandmates will get on stage and sing their rendition of Bubblegum Bitch. A totally normal song for Ain, maybe, but completely unnatural for Ciel and Raven.]
no subject
But that couldn't be more interesting than the idea that Ain was in a band once- like wtf you don't tell him ANYTHING babe- and that ends up capturing Vash's attention, and though Vash will help Add with his crimes because he wants Add to be his friend and like him, most of his attention is still on Ain...watching him sing and perform...wow. Wow, he loves him. Look at him. That's his boyfriend. Wow.
Singing Bubblegum Bitch]
no subject
Anyway, Ain doesn't share things about himself because he doesn't know how to person. That's really it. It's not that he's hiding anything, it's that he doesn't Get he's supposed to share things outside of stuff that sort of just comes up. Normal people think of a story to tell and a conversation to have, even if it's random or dumb. Ain simply doesn't connect the social dots enough to understand that, so when he tries, he comes across very stinted and awkward.
Have fun with your awkward bird.
Enough rounds to wake Chung up and have him drink some water later, they're done for the night, which means stumbling back to base as one really intoxicated unit. Like an anthill given fermented fruit. The people who promised to put the extra work in for this outing are going to be working to death tomorrow, even if a lot of them are exempt from the usual work laws here (like, Add manning the whole electrical grid with Eve means he mostly gets by that way because without them, uhhhh...). It doesn't concern Ain or Vash, though. They got their own shit to do tomorrow. Or whenever they can. Ain did warn the gardens and the restaurant that he was getting fucked up tonight. Hangovers are a bitch.
At least the walk home sobers a lot of people up. Ain can tell that Chung will be dead on the floor tomorrow, though. Either way...
Either way. He's putting Aisha aside to ask for that soundproofing spell and she immediately spins it as "you're gonna mate with him TONIGHT?" and Ain has to very causally say no, God no, but he wants to fool around. She stops him there. Have your enchantment, have fun, do not mate with that boy until you tell him that the hell that even entails because he's clueless.
Back to the room they go, and the Dachies will clear themselves out whenever the boys get riled up in each other. Whenever that happens. They don't want to be here for it.]
no subject
It's almost too good to be true, and it would be if Vash were at all sober enough to let that notion seep through.
He's laughing and conversing with the others as they wobble their way back, probably making a spectacle of themselves to any other locals who happen to be outside this time of night. It's very clear this group of pets +1 human have been having a good time tonight, and while the blast of cool air does help Vash sober up a little, it's not going to kill the feel-good buzz.
He misses the conversation with Aisha because he's too busy telling the others goodnight, he had a great time, he loves you goodbye. And the Dachies get the same treatment once they're back to Ain's room, Vash picking up both of them in turn and giving them little kisses on their heads before setting them back down.
Then it's Ain's turn, as Vash wanders back his way and kisses his forehead. Kiss kiss.]
I looove you Ain. You were so pretty on stage...so handsome...
no subject
Ordinarily, Ain might've already pushed Vash against a wall again, but he's all wobbly too. The alcohol is gonna have to take a bit to cycle out. For now, there's a pretty boy kissing his forehead and he's pleased as punch just with that.
...like he does put his hands on Vash's hips, too, but details.]
Even when my voice cracked? Haha! I love you too. You're so pretty... I like singing with you. So cute...
no subject
In the meantime, he will at least appreciate Ain's hands on his hips. That's nice. It prompts him to lean forward and drop his head against Ain's, and if he were an animal of any kind he'd probably be cooing, or purring, or something similar.]
Especially then. You sing like an angel... [Haha, lol, lmao] Way better than I can.
[Vash is kindof just gently pawing at Ain's hair now, don't mind him.]
no subject
I told you I was going to save all my best songs for you. ["You're Welcome" from Moana was not his best song. However, let it be known that he did all the hip swaying that goes with it on stage. Maybe too much hip swaying.] They're only for you! I know lots of songs and they're for you.
[You know Ain is drunk when he just repeats himself a whole bunch and sometimes occasionally does a Horny Thing, in this case holding Vash's hips and rubbing circles into his skin. Boy cute...]
Do you want some water? [Eskimo kisses are being deployed.]
no subject
Yeah...prob'ly a good idea.
[He needs to hydrate SO badly, oh my god why was he allowed to drink like five mohitos in one sitting. Or was it four. That last one felt like five.
Vash wobbles a bit again, only this time instead of leaning into Ain, he shifts back on his heels until he's sinking down onto the edge of the bed, though he just ends up tugging Ain with him which is not conducive to getting water-
But what if he wants Ain in his lap instead. What then.]
no subject
They are not getting water. Ain adjusts so that he's straddling Vash's hips, making some happy noise in the back of his throat at the position, because of course he does. Of course he's happy about being hip-to-hip with a guy.]
Haha, this is a new position for us! You're still under me, though. What do you think?
no subject
["Comfy", he says, as he literally like. Is bringing his hands down Ain's sides. His hands are wandering...all he can think about is squeezing his ass but he behaves, and he deserves a reward for that, he thinks.
Which is why he's tilting his head up to kiss Ain's lips this time, brief and light with the taste of alcohol on his breath.]
I kindof wanted to pull you in my lap at karaoke...
no subject
Oh? Did you? [Now isn't that a surprise!] What else did you want to do, hm?
no subject
[Right there, in front of god and everyone.]
But everyone was looking at us...
[Embarrassing. What if they saw? What if they TOLD???]
no subject
Aww, haha, you don't need to be shy. [Maybe be a little bit shy.] I would've been happy to make out with you! You've been so cute all day... It's been so hard to have any self-control around you.
