The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap. Above the doorway and wound through a few of the sets of antlers some enterprising soul has placed a garland decorated with little blue and green fish.

Now that he was paying his own bills for the first time in... years, Rex was going to take advantage of the free food offered at the party and eat what he could. Right now, he was working on a slice of pizza, because, well, he wasn't the biggest fan of fried foods. He stood in the lounge, looking around for somebody to talk to so that he wasn't just standing around in the way, getting his... awkwardness all over everybody.

Rex was never really very good at parties.

Jay, at least, he recognized from the Network, so Rex eventually made his way over to him.

"I see you made it out of that room," he remarked. There, idle chatter established.

"Yeah. The fairy girl let me out." He then paused, looking a bit awkward for a moment, not really knowing what to say next, but knowing that he didn't really want to sit staring at each other in silence. Naturally, his mind went to what information he still needed to know, and what ways he could find out more.

His eyes focusing on a nearby decoration, Jay decided to tackle the most present issue first. "So...uh...what's with the cat and rat stuff? Normally I'd think it was a local myth, but considering the fact that I woke up locked in a room in a strange city where people who can fly is a normal thing, I don't want to write it off too quickly."
requiresssacrifice: Rex is confused (what the shit is this)

Re: Lounge and tables:

Rex shrugged, looking down at his pizza with a little frown as a tiny pool of grease transformed into a tiny river, heading towards one of the edges. He fussily dabbed it with his napkin.

"I'm new myself, so I couldn't tell you much." Now that the pizza situation was handled, he brought his gaze up to look at Jay, a bland, neutral expression on his face. "But I was told that my own cat disappeared to go to the annual cat... conference. Where they handle cat business." Judging by the tone of his voice, Rex was neither convinced nor impressed.

Watching the grease dribble down the pizza, Jay's upper lip turned up in disgust. Human food was not appetizing. The expression faded when he forced himself to look at Rex's face instead of his food, however.

"Cat business." Jay's tone was a bit flat with that. "And what's that, exactly? Making sure the rats in the city are premium quality and that there's a ball of yarn in every paw?" It sounded a bit ridiculous to him. "Are they sure this isn't some kind of cat mating season and they aren't all in a mating ball in a dark alley somewhere?"

This whole thing was weird, though probably worse for the guy wondering where his cat really went off to. "Hope your cat comes back. And I guess I shouldn't be too skeptical, I mean, it's not like this place follows traditional logic, but still..."
requiresssacrifice: Rex is skeptical (yeah right)

"Whatever it is, it's all very mysterious." He took a bite of pizza and chewed quietly, scoffing a little once he swallowed. "Mating ball? Come on, they're cats, not garter snakes."

Not that anybody but Rex or another similarly geeky herpetologist would get that.

He shrugged. "I've never had cats before, I don't know how they do it. I just know some animals do the mating ball thing because I've seen one in my sister's room before." Awkward pause. "The snakes were mating in a ball, not my sister." Another pause. "My sister's a herpetologist."
requiresssacrifice: Rex is uncertain. (uncertain)

Rex arched his brow, then nodded once Jay clarified. Herpetologist made more sense than... random orgies. "I've never had a cat before, either, but mating balls aren't typical in mammals." Not to his knowledge, anyway. He took another bite of pizza and glanced away. Despite the fact that he no longer had to work around his ventilator for food, Rex still didn't like eating in front of others. It made him feel oddly exposed. Once he swallowed, he said, "How many snakes does she have?"

Re: Lounge and tables:

[personal profile] studious_snake 2011-12-26 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
He shrugged. "I don't know. It's hard to keep track, especially since some of them are feeders for others, since with a few it's necessary."
requiresssacrifice: Rex is measuring something (measuring)

Re: Lounge and tables:

[personal profile] requiresssacrifice 2011-12-26 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmhm." Rex was well acquainted with the need to keep feeder snakes, since ophiophagy wasn't uncommon in snakes. "Which species did she keep?"

"A few different ones for observation. Garter snakes. Rat snakes...a king cobra." Of course, the king cobra actually was his sister, but there was no need to mention that.

Rex could hardly conceal a smirk. Well then, that was interesting. "I had a pair of king cobras, myself. Before I came here, of course."

He nodded. "So are you a herpetologist or something?"
