Room 405, Thursday evening

[itsjustlanguage]

Most of her things were already packed and sent ahead, but there were a few things that Hoshi left until the very end. So she was going around, checking the closet and under the bed, to make sure she had everything, like a certain beagle who did not want to go in his pet carrier.

"It won't be so bad. I promise," said Hoshi, crouching down and holding out a dog treat. "Look, at least you've got it better than Four-Dee. I had to put him in my backpack." Sure enough, there was a sad beeping sound from the backpack near the closet door.

Porthos tentatively crept toward Raven's outstretched hand. He wasn't too upset about leaving, to be honest. He just wasn't sure he wanted to go in the carrier.

"They're pretty easy to figure out. There's just one important thing to remember with a web cam," continued Hoshi. "If you're taking your clothes off, you want to cover up the camera with a piece of tape first."

"It is all right," Raven said soothingly, scritching Porthos's head. "Everything will be fine. Do not be afraid."

She looked up at Thena. "Why would I...oh," she said. "People could use it to watch me when I do not want them to? They may have already been watching me?" Suddenly she wasn't too keen on this web cam thing.

"I have heard stories of such things happening," said Thena Hoshi. "Personally, I turn all my PADDs upside down on the desk before getting undressed."

Porthos relaxed somewhat and sat down. He waved one of his paws at Raven, wondering if she would give him the dog biscuit while Hoshi's attention was elsewhere.

WTF SELF WTF

"That seems wise," Raven said, giving HOSHI dammit a worried look. "I hope no one has been watching me."

She picked up a dog biscuit and held it out to Porthos. She was such a sucker for puppy dog eyes, even literal ones.

"I think that unless you've regularly been undressing while using the laptop, you're safe," said Hoshi. "Anyway, I promise I'll be keeping in touch, especially on Monday nights. And eventually, once Joan and I get our apartment set up, I might even have some Rumor Gal viewing parties."

Porthos eagerly accepted the dog biscuit, but he retreated underneath the bed with the treat in his mouth.

"You will be living with Joan?" Raven said. "I am pleased to hear that. It will make visiting you both easier."

"And I can come back and visit often!" said Hoshi, getting down on her hands and knees to look under the bed. "Of course, first we're going to stay with my parents for a few days. That is, if I can get Porthos into his carrier so we can make our portal to Japan..."

"When are you going to be living?" Raven asked. Oh, only in Fandom.

She peeked under the bed. "Porthos, do not be afraid," she said soothingly, sending him more comfort. "You must get into the carrier so that Hoshi can bring you to your new home. I promise it will be all right."

Raven, dog whisperer.

"As far as I know, the apartment is in this time period. But really, you never know what the universe is going to throw at you," said Hoshi. "Of course, my mom and dad are in the future. I suppose that means I have time to catch Porthos, right?"

Porthos seemed to relax, but he remained in his hiding place under the bed. He wasn't ready to go anywhere yet.
