Vregory's posts

Vregory tilts his head thoughtfully at the suggestion, "Peanut butter is good. Tasty... hummmm. The rats like it too maybe they will eat it.... I don't want hair cut but maybe is gonna be ok?"

Eugene squeaked in understanding, remembering the last time the rats got into Vregory's hair. There was a reason it's so uneven, after all. Scurrying off, Eugene rounded up all the rats, trying to keep them away from his friend.

Wandering into the kitchen, Vregory perused his cupboards before finally spotting the jar. He licked his lips, but shook his head, determined to see out this task. Opening it up, he began to slather the peanut butter into his hair, only occasionally breaking to sample a little of the peanut butter for himself.

It took a while of waiting and some intense scrubbing, but eventually Vregory was able to rinse the sticky gum from his hair, smiling in content as he gave everyone a thumbs up, "Is silky smooth and smells good."

Vregory hums, nodding in understanding, "Hair lady will know how to help. Come on friends-" However, as he approached them they continued to squirm and squeak miserably, seeming too caught up in their dilemma to listen.

Taking everyone's advice, Vreg searched his home and found a good snack for his friends, "Is pizza eat up friends."

Sensing the food, they calmed down, eating as Vregory carefully scooped up the mass of rats to gently place them into a cardboard box. Making his way downtown and walking fast, Vregory soon found himself in Vivacious Hair, "Hey hair lady I need your help."

Vivienne turned around to give him a smile, an excited glint in her eye as she clasped her hands together, "You're going to finally let me cut your hair?"

Furrowing his brows, Vregory seemed to almost growl at the idea before he shook his head, "No, is for my friends."

"Oh..." She sighed in disappointment, nodding, "Did you want to buy gift cards as Solstice gifts? Or perhaps you wanted to- Wh-What is that?!" She shrieked, finally looking down into the box and seeing the distressed rodents.

"They have a braid in their tails, you're good with braids can you help?"

"I..." Vivienne sighed, shaking her head before offering a reassuring smile, "Of course I can help... We can't leave these p-poor animals suffering..."

After thirty minutes of careful untangling, the rats scurried around the shop to celebrate their newfound freedom. Vivienne gave a soft laugh, "Uhm... Please make sure all your friends leave with you after! You wouldn't want anyone left behind... Or bringing me a visit from the health inspector..."

Squeaking in distress Eugene dashed behind the machine, finding the thick and heavy power chord. With his tiny paws he yanked against it, taking several attempts before he was finally able to tug it free from its outlet.

The machine suddenly powered down, the screen going blank and game ending with no consequence. Vregory blinked, tilting his head with a smile, "I won? Let's go home now Eugene," he said casually, hopping down off the platform. Somehow, this all ended very anti-climatically.

In the distance, you can almost hear a distressed yell, but nobody seems to notice, or if they did, they don't care.

Vregory nodded to the suggestions given to him, "I'll try both should be good," he agreed, turning to Eugene, "You and your friends spread the word I'll find somebody to take these off me..."

Waddling as well as he could under the many layers, Vregory eventually found somebody walking down the street. As he got closer, he recognized the figure, trying to wave but unable to move his arm, "Hi ink man I need you to undress me."

Vyctor halted in his tracks, his face contorting for a moment before turning, sighing in relief as he saw the state Vregory was in, "Oh you need help getting out of that? Huh. How'd ya even end up like this anyway?" He asked, moving to help pull some of the outer layers off.

Vregory smiled, face beet red from the heat of the wool layers, "Is a gift! But it was too many so I'm going to give them to friends too, do you want one? Is good sweaters."

"Huh.. I'll pass thanks," With that, he stepped back, leaving Vregory comfortable in a single sweater, the rat boy waving his now free arms in victory and content. After handing Vregory a large pile of sweaters, he reached out to pat the top of his head and offered him a lazy smile, "Stay out of trouble now, will ya? You have a knack for finding it."

"I'm not going to trouble I'm going to hand out sweaters now. Bye ink man!" With that he wandered off to find his rat friends, ready to hand out the sweaters to the cold and needy.

Scurrying out of the alleyway, Vreg bolted towards the nearest convenience store, dashing past the bored employee to grab a carton of milk from the back case. With tears in his eyes he slammed a couple of volts onto the counter before ripping open the cardboard. Tilting his head back he took a mighty chug of the dairy drink, not stopping until he had drained it.

"Will that be all, sir?" The employee asked as Vreg wiped away his milk moustache with a sigh of relief.

"Milk is good. Made it hurt less," Vreg nodded with a lazy smile, before he glanced back towards the alleyway longingly, "Humm...."

It wasn't long until Vregory was in the alley once more, tears in his eyes as he regretted trying to eat them again. Still, he sniffled, wheezing out, "W-Was good..."

Vregory nods along with the plan, knowing that food would help distract him, too. "Humm...." He sounds thoughtfully, a determined expression crossing his face, "Sounds serious. We need good seed."

Eugene squeaks, giving a little salute with his paw as he runs away. Vregory stays behind, trying to help keep the birds away from his friends the best he can, receiving a peck or two for his troubles.

Eventually Eugene returned, dragging a giant bag of birdseed back with him. It looks new, and it's unclear where exactly he found it, but it looks perfect for the job. As the rat nears his friends, the bag rips open, causing the seed to go flying.

With an excited chirp the birds descend onto the seed, gobbling it up greedily. Taking the opportunity presented to him, Vreg launched himself towards the birds, snatching the notes off their legs.

Each piece of paper had a single word written on it, and lying them out next to each other revealed the secret password to send them away. Concentrating, Vreg read them out carefully, "Go... Away.... You... Birds..."

The birds looked up from their seed from the phrase, cooing before taking off in flight. Vreg watched as they flapped away, giving them a wave, "Food and adventure just like us, is true they are rats."

Eugene nods to the few who noted the center bottle, squeaking to Vreg to open it. Eventually jimmying the cap off the bottle with a satisfying 'pop', the contents clearly let out a fizzy sound, "Is good sign."

Setting it on the ground, Eugene and the rats sniffed the fluids, letting out a squeak of approval. Excited, Vreg lifted the bottle back up, pouring some into the soda lid to share with his friends before taking a drink. He sighed in satisfaction, quenching his mighty thirst.

Hearing mention of everyone discussing the beef broth, Vreg turned to his friends, "Let's find that one too." Eugene gave him a skeptical squeak, but nodded, waiting as Vreg opened another bottle. Sniffing the content, he gave a firm squeak of 'no', causing the young man to set it down before opening the other. Although apprehensive of its contents, Eugene gave this bottle the squeak of approval.

Curious, Vreg lifts the bottle to sniff it himself, a familiar scent of food in his nose. "Smells nice... is the beef I didn't know it came watery that's good." Vreg takes the bottle and brings it to his mouth, which Eugene tries to stop him again to no avail. After a sip he puts it back down, a hint of disgust in his face. "Not good."
