Kitten in a Box - Locked to grimholdkeeper

[puresilverpaws]

It was warm, quiet and dark. He wasn't sure where he was at first, as his senses began to awaken. He felt a soft blanket underneath him. Slowly moving, he sat up, his head gently nudging up the flap of the large cardboard box.

...A fireplace? This wasn't his room. Sure, he made a lot of forts, so being in a box wasn't unusual.

"Myieeeu..." It had an interesting smell about it, and, nervously, he ducked back down into the warm box, curling up within the confines once more, and pawed at a corner of it, his claws lightly scratching it. Maybe if he stayed hidden, he could figure things out better? Were he really aware of his real self, he might have boggled at the fact that first the hotel aged him up, and now it had aged him down to ten.

At least the hotel had put him in Balthazar's room? Furthermore, the box was very large, as if made for one of those older, heavier TVs. But anything smaller would not hold him.

Balthazar isn't sure whether to laugh, but on the off chance these are serious questions, he answers them seriously. "Well, that's the problem. This is a very big place, and it changes around so often, it's hard to tell. Plus it sometimes affects the minds of the people who live here. I wouldn't want you to be in danger, and I wouldn't want you to have to see anything...upsetting."

He ruffles his hair gently. "But I will protect you from any octopi, dinosaurs, and/or dogs that I see."

Roi laughs, amused that he took him seriously.

"I guess you don't play many video games, huh?" he asks, nibbling on another mouthful of stew. "Though I guess maybe some of those exist in some way." His ears perk and twitch slightly.

"No, I don't." He smiles. "But I truly wouldn't put it past this place to have those things. It's very odd, and not always safe. But there are fun things here, too. There was a carnival once."
