Episode Two: Thralls Well [Lions Den]
Feeling a cop, keeping one's word; Down at the hop, give a jerk the bird.
Hi there. Antonio Fury here. We just ended the first rocking howl hosted by yours truly but things were about to heat up in the dead of winter when Storm's blizzard nearly puts the second howl out of business. Stay tuned to see what happens.
P A R T - O N E : Feeding Thralls
Todd instantly appeared at the front door of Nick's home on the same morning he had been at the Howling Fury just as the Epidemic was breaking out in the State Park. He had no idea where on the Eastern Seaboard or in the 13 Colonies that Nick lived, but he was now at the house. There was a light snow on the ground here and the air was a bit cold. Tod inserted the key in the lock on the house, unlocked it, and stepped inside, closing the door behind him, as he called out...
"Nick sent me to check on you guys! Name's Toddrick! But I prefer to be called..." He paused and decided that a new Nickname was needed since he was no longer just a Norm. "...Rider. My nickname is Rider."

The home is surprisingly neat. At least this room. The Foyer is long and narrow with a total of six doors leading off of it. The main door is the one at the far end of the hall but there are two doors on each side spaced about evenly down the hall.
The walls are painted a soft off-white color and the baseboards are all of polished wood. The floor here of highly polished stone that seemed to give off a warmth and scent of distant home...
There are also labels on each of the four side-doors. 'Mobroom', 'Induction', 'Kitchen' and 'Guests'
The door at the end of the hall as a label as well that reads 'Family and Friends Only'
The Induction door proves to be locked tightly. Leaving only four possible exits for Toddric.
There is the sound of hopping and thumping from the Mobroom and beyond the Family and Friends Only doors but they are distant and muffled and probably mean children are at play. The home seems to be filled with a joy that Nick didn't seem to have last time you talk to him. The playful atmosphere seems to make one think that no unpleasantness was never felt here. Nick can remember all too well the familiar feelings of Fosters and the Kitchen is bound to have a lot of it. Just being inside this house makes you feel like you were in the Outback and at home in Aussieland.
There are a few shouts coming every now and then from somewhere very far away in the back of the house, usually accompanied by more shouts of tussling kids.
Finally on a table near the last door there is a roll top desk of dark stained cherry. A stack of bills neatly aligned with other papers, a number of which are marked in giant red ink of past due.

Rider heads into the guest room where he takes off his jacket and shoes, leaving them on a bed there. Then he emerges and goes to the roll top desk and looks over the past due bills. Just seeing them is making him feel really sorry for Nick. Such a nice looking home and owing so much money. "Poor Nick..." He then replaced the bills in a neat pile and proceeded into the Kitchen.
"Okay, let's see about making something nice. Odd, it smells like cookies and fudge in here. Don't see any though..." He then checked around for dry and refrigerator ingredients to make breakfast and see what the smell of a good breakfast brings out in the way of residents.
"Nick mentioned Thralls, but... I haven't seen a one yet. I know he mentioned Joeys, so they have to be the kid sounds I'm hearing. But surely the Thralls are older." He starts cooking.

There are LOTS of Australian ingredients and foods in the refrigerator. Including SEVERAL cases of Fosters and other Aussie favorites. There are two sets of kids and there are Photos of them on the chill box. The young Joeys and the teenagers (Thralls). There is only two Adults, Nick and another Were-Roo that Rider had noticed there being several other pictures of as well but... No sign of. However there are several newspaper clippings. One in particular...
Fourteen hunters and poachers were found dead this morning at their camp in the middle of the bush. It appeared that the hunting party stumbled across across a wild animal that mauled and butchered their bodies to nearly beyond recognition. Many illegal boxes of elephant ivory, skins, furs, and pelts were collected as well as enough ammunition and firepower to outfit a small country. The strangest discovery was the body of pouched male kangaroo which has been turned over to the national science institutes for study of the genetic mutation. What truly happened in this camp may never be known.
Near that is an essay submitted to the University of Western Australia (which was returned with a red 'A' marked on the front top left corner) entitled, 'The Sins of Man'. It's a non-fictional essay though it was submitted as a fictional one about Aboriginal people, Were-Roos, and the violence of stupid narrow minded men. The last page was signed 'Nicholas Michael Kane'... And stapled to the back of that is a printout from the same university, denying said individual any further monetary incentives to attend school there. He flunked out of every other class but his creative writing class.
It turns out there is more to this wild party animal than meets the eye. Even his closest friends were completely fooled.
A few minutes after he began cooking, an accented voice says, "Um... Ah d..don't know....who yas are, mate, but ah don think Dad would like yas bein' 'ere with 'im not 'ere.." The speaker is a rather handsome Thrall Teenage Boomer. He has dark reddish brown fur and nice voice and bright blue eyes.

Rider turned and looked at the Thrall. Then he pulled out Nick's keys and set them on the table. "I'm Toddrick Hunter, the guy Nick knows as Foxy. Maybe he hasn't mentioned me; maybe he has. My current nickname is Rider." Then he explained where Nick was and what had happened to him and how he was under quarantine due to doctor's orders.
"When I spoke to Nick, I offered to come out here and take care of you and your brothers as a favor for Nick. I was last told by Vincent at Roarin' Rhoades that Nick had to recuperate under watch for 30 days, but hopefully it doesn't take that long. I'm worried about him."
He then smiled. "So, you guys get me in the household until Nick can come home. What do you call yourself? And can I make you something for breakfast? I haven't had anything myself."

The Thrall pounced and HUGGED Toddric, "So your Foxy! 'E's told us lots bout you." He blushes, "Sorry, Ah didn't recognize you." He then ums, "Well none of us 'ave 'ad much late few days with Dad bein' gone... We're about outta stuff. So anythin' yas can make would be great. We've been worrin' about 'im too. 'E doesn't stay gone this long mosta the time."

Rider grinned, hugging the Thrall in return, and giving him a small kiss on the nose, before he released him. "I know you guys had cookies and fudge recently. In fact, the scent is still pretty strong in the kitchen." He resumed cooking. "What's your name? Or do I just call you Sexy Thrall - Number One?" wink.gif

The Thrall blushes, "We're not suppose ta say our names to strangers but... 'E did sends yas... Ah'm 'Enry. Ah'm usually the second cook." He kisses Rider DEEPLY after the nose kiss.

Rider kisses Henry again, then says, "I'm making pancakes. I noticed there was loads of... Aussie marked syrup. It tasted like syrup, at least. How many should I try to make?"
Darquirrin

Henry says, "Um... Well about 10 at least for each person... We eat a lot... Plus a few extra... Yas 'll probably need ta make around 500 pancakes. Ah can 'elp yas tho. Ah don't mind."
