Jinpei clutched nervously at his jacket, pulling it over his chest in an awkward manner. He felt the comfort of scurrying legs on his torso, but it wasn't enough to assuage his fears. Jun was inside the Snack J, and she would be sure to notice his visitor. She wouldn't understand that it was just for a short time. He was headed into the lion's den.

LOL, I wasn't sure if it was some large insect or small rodent, so 'scurrying legs' seemed like it fit both!

For Jinpei it could be some sort of comfort, but for me it's one of my worse nightmares! Anything having more than four legs freaks me out (even though sometimes it might scare me less than a two-legged being!! Wink ), most especially if it touches me! I agree with DT ... poor lion ... poor, poor lion! TJ ... I'm envisaging Jinpei getting into a lot of trouble!

Hmmm... why does the President want to meet him? It's entirely possible that the President doesn't know Joe is part of the SNT. Maybe Joe's reputation as a race car driver has preceded him?

EW ... this really smells fishy! Is there a spy involved, since the President seems to know everything about Joe, even of his arrival! Anxious to see what he has gone into! Springie ... that's an awesome interpretation of the prompt! It's really hard to return to your old self when you'd have been struggling to be something different, which sometimes accommodates the need to escape from it all!

KT - I am wondering if that is a good sign, or a bad one for Ryu's mission. Can't wait to see what next week's prompt brings. Springie - I like that Joe, all dark and moody. Just what I would expect from him.

You mean you are going to be leaving me in suspense, as I wait to find out what happens to my Tiny? *sigh * I guess I have had to deal with it when TJ was away and left us without updates to her "Had to get this out" thread. Besides next week is going to be a busy one for me as I set up my classroom for the start of the new school year, so I may not notice that I have missed the update. Wink

EW - It was as if they'd known Joe was coming. Springie - I love that picture! KT - Being single, I'm assuming Ryu will have to share his sleeping area with several others. Makes sneaking around hard.

KT ... I really hope that Ryu's mission would turn into a successful one ... that "Nevertheless" comment at the end didn't sound good! Hopefully, he won't end up as Ken and the others who were listed under the "not into a relationship" list! But, then, the Owl is so adorable that it shouldn't be long before his girlfriend returns to him and into his arms! EW ... so clever of you to adapt the prompt the way you did!Clap

Thanks! Though, I must admit that inspiration came from real life -- Beijing media reported that a zoo in China had been making very poor substitutions for real-life exotic animals (fluffy dogs for lions, swamp rats for snakes, and so on.)

TJ: That's one lioness that's gonna be mauling someone ... EW: Joe practically lives in a lion's den! Springie: Yeah, it is, especially with the fact that they'll be pissed he's been hiding. Heh. KT: Poor Ryu. I'd worry that Galactor would send someone after the girlfriend so she won't rat Ryu out to the authorities. EW: Hehe, inspired by that Chinese zoo? (I think that was a Chinese zoo lying about the lion ...) Becky: Sounds like our reporter here is overreaching ... so far, anyway.

Eh, some kinds of reporters. I've done the journalism thing but it was for technology stuff and I wasn't looking for embarrassing scoops or anything.
