He looks cute but he's a thieving little shit. If you've lost anything small over the last few weeks, sorry. I'll bring it back if you get in touch.

[ is this John Watson, posting photos of his ferret to soothe the masses? it might be. but he also genuinely does have a room full of trinkets that don't belong to him, and there are also a few attached images here of all the things his little tyke of an animal has thieved while John's been otherwise engaged.

(but mostly he's just hanging out with a long fluff, finding it therapeutic and wants to share the feeling - and hey, sooner or later somebody has to get back to pretending nothing's happening and treating the network like a Facebook wall. why not him?) ]

(( ooc: feel free to chime in with "that X in the picture is mine"/"do you have my Y?" etc if you fancy it! basic guidelines are if a ferret could feasibly carry it, this ferret could feasibly have stolen it. ))

[ a bit of a delay (he's looking... he's looking) and: ]

Yeah. She's got a new best friend.

[cacoethical]

oh well i couldnt separate best friends!!!!!! as long as shes accounted for

[enarms]

[ a picture attachment: underneath John's bed, a certain somebody is curled up around the missing duck friend, half-asleep and looking very happy indeed. ]

You might have to share her for a bit. Never know, might be able to coax him in there with her now.

[ probably not, but maybe. not that he's hoping for a peaceful night's sleep without being woken by a regularly scheduled middle of the night mad five minutes. ]

[cacoethical]

sure i can babysit!!!!!! 😋😋😋😋😋

[You're fooling literally nobody, John.]

[enarms]

[ oh... so transparent ]

I'm not asking [ yes he is, everyone knows this. ] At least you'll know where all your things are.

[cacoethical]

well im giving you permission to ask!!!! or to i dont know sneak in and drop him off

it wouldnt be imposing i mean chaos is sort of my metier

and i do have an awful lot of wooden ducks

[enarms]

Fancy word.

Thanks. Might take you up for a night every now and again, if you don't mind suddenly waking up at obscene hours because he's decided he wants to run in exactly the spot you're sleeping.

[cacoethical]

i know a few!!!!!

for that face anything though honestly plus im not a very consistent sleeper anyway

[enarms]

That makes two of us. Hopefully just the one when I put him into your capable hands.

[ unlikely, but hopefully. ]

I do actually have about 5 ducks in here now that I'm looking. Only 1 is a regular resident.

[cacoethical]

well clearly hes got impeccable taste in decor so we should get on swimmingly

[enarms]

We can only hope. I'll bring Gladys and co back in a tic.

Related: if you happen to spot anything that could function as a decent ferret lead on your travels around the city, could you pick it up and I'll pay you back? I think I'm going to have to get something custom made eventually but something to keep him from running off in the meantime would be good. The more eyes I've got looking out the better.

[cacoethical]

theres no rush!!!! also im on the case!!!!! in fact ill ensure that the full resources of dirk gentlys holistic detective agency are at your service 😋😋😋😋😋 being that youre technically one of those resources dont get complacent

[enarms]

Yes boss.

[cacoethical]

[enarms]

Great. Do I get a pay rise?

[cacoethical]

[enarms]

I'm sure it'll balance out in overnight petsitting.
