[NETWORK] An Announcement

Who: Ade Bennett
Username: ade37
Warnings: Vague references to animal cruelty


Hi everyone. This is Ade. Just a quick announcement to expect some new faces around the office from here on out.

[ Here, he has attached a photo of three albino rats cuddled up in a little hammock inside their cage. It’s the cutest, most photogenic picture he could take with his limited photography skills. ]

These guys came from ADI’s medical labs, so it’s safe to say they’ve been through a lot. I thought I’d give them a well-earned retirement. Couldn’t get ADI to waive their no-pets policy in the apartments but they did say I could keep them in the HQ itself, so… here they are. I’ll be handling their upkeep, so no one else has to worry about it.

A few notes: please don’t feed them any junk food. They can eat fruits or vegetables sometimes as treats, but other than that, they should be sticking to rodent food from the pet store. Also, be gentle if you handle them, and don’t forget to make sure the cage door is fully latched when you put them back in. I’ve heard they can be real escape artists.

Finally, I hope nobody needs to hear this, but just in case: don’t be an arsehole. If you have a problem with the rats or don’t want them here, talk to me and I’ll work something out. Don’t take it out on them. Don’t manhandle them either. They’re animals, not toys. If you want to handle them and don’t know how, ask me and I’ll show you.

I’ll be hanging out here for a little bit, so if you want to come meet them, now’s a good time. Also: I don’t have nicknames for them yet. I still haven’t figured out how to tell them apart so I’ve been putting it off. If you can think of some good ones for three boy rats, go ahead and drop them here. Thanks.

[It's probably a good thing this is over text, because it gives her a minute to decide this isn't actually something she wants to argue about.]

Ade (actually I'm gonna need to call you something else, that's too close to Eda) - hah, fair enough. Don't worry about it, your rats are safe.

Blondie - I guess you have a point. But I have things under control these days, alright? I'm good. [She thinks. She hopes. She doesn't have potions here... it's probably fine.]

iT"S FiNE, ADE.. SHE"S RIGHT,, SHE HAS,IT UNDER CONTROL.

[As far as he can see, at least. She seems to be doing a hell of a lot better with her curse than Belos was doing with his.]

Bennett then. And you're right, it isn't really. Anyway, nice to... sort of meet you, I guess. Cute rats. [Cute and edible aren't mutually exclusive! Now that she's more or less over her initial bristling over Hunter mentioning the curse, she's a bit more awkward about jumping in here.]

Yeah. Thanks, kid. [This is at least less sarcastic than earlier.]
