Vero has a little lamb...?

[itsyagirl]

Who: everyone
Broadcast: yes
Action: sure, if you want
When: now i guess?

[There's a white puffball asleep in Veronica's lap, and she looks a bit harried as she starts the broadcast, her hair a bit wild. She's clearly dealing with some allergies too, her eyes and nose red and slightly swollen.]

Found this little guy on the surface. He's one of those sheep things, but I think he's a baby. Anyway, I've been trying to ask around to see if any of the local farmers are missing one so I can get him back to his home, but these allergies are awful. [She sniffs and rubs at her nose.] Even with the medicine my eyes are getting all puffy.

Anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone who is immune to the surface wouldn't mind seeing if they can find where this baby Floud might have come from? I've got him with me underground for now. I'd like to try to find his owner before completely adopting him.

Oh man, Vero, you really drew the short straw when it came to allergies. Sorry I inherited all the awesome working genes.

[He kids, really.]

I'll pick you up some meds. But yoooo, that poofy cotton ball is adorable! I demand petting rights.

[itsyagirl]

[Veronica huffs and sticks her tongue out at him, rubbing at slightly weepy eyes. Damned allergies. At least she's underground now.]

I'm definitely prettier.

[That makes her smile and she nods, petting the little guy in her lap. He barely even stirs.]

I know, he's so precious! He just started following me around. Poor little guy must've gotten lost.

[the_tailor]

Um, excuse me? Have you seen me?

[He gives a little mock-offended huff.]

I'll ask around about him the next time I go up to the surface. Probably tomorrow, I think... Taking some odd jobs for shopping money. Worse comes to worse, we do have our little farm room where Kaltenecker is, and I'm sure she'd be happy to have a friend!

[itsyagirl]

[She laughs.] Yeah, and you'd better pick up some face masks while you're here.

[Veronica nods, the little marshmallow in her lap blinking awake and letting out a soft little 'baaa'.] Oh my god, I'm going to die. I sort of hope we can't find his owner.

[the_tailor]

I mean, I could... I guess.

[And okay, that gets a little squeal out of Lance. Look, he adores adorable fluffy creatures, okay?] Ohmygod so CUTE!

[itsyagirl]

[Veronica laughs, smiling and petting the tiny lamb.]

You should get over here and come meet him. I want to put tiny hats on him.

[the_tailor]

Let me stop off at one of the underground malls real quick. I'll be right over with antihistamines and the cutest tiny hat I can find.

[itsyagirl]

Have I mentioned I love you? [She blows him a kiss.] See you soon.

[the_tailor]

Love you too, sis.

[Aaaaaaaand he hangs up.

It's about two hours before Veronica will hear a knock on the door. Lance stands outside, two bags in hand--one with the promised medicine, the other with a gift for the lost lamb.]

[child_of_luv]

Oh it's so cute!

[Minako was enthralled.]

I haven't really had any problems on the surface, so I could help out if you want.

[itsyagirl]

[She laughs and nods.] Yeah, he really is. And so soft.

I'd really appreciate it. I don't want to take this little guy from his home if he's already got one, you know?

[child_of_luv]

Oh, yeah, definitely. I get it. I guess I'll just have to suffer through having such a cutie with me for a while.

Does he have any tags or markings?

[itsyagirl]

[She laughs.] It'll be pretty rough.

No...he doesn't. That was one of the first things I looked for. I mean, he's clearly not a newborn, and he seems comfortable with people, so it seems strange that no one would be missing him.

[child_of_luv]

So hard.

[Minako nodded.]

That does sound odd. He definitely had to have come from somewhere.

I can meet up with you, and then go looking in about an hour?

[itsyagirl]

[She can't help but giggle at that, looking down as the sweet little lamb nuzzles into her in his sleep.]

That would be wonderful, thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name? I'm Veronica, by the way.

[child_of_luv]

Oh! I'm Minako. Sorry about that.

[She smiled.]

So, where should I meet you?
