So we head out, dropping off papers on doorsteps and car windows, some go to bus stops and mail boxes. We do our best to be discreet about things. As we walk, I decide to make conversation with Kasper.
"So..hmm....how is life going Kasper? Anything new?" I ask to make small talk with my comrade.

"No, nothing really new Hilja," Kasper says with a sigh, "Oh wait!" Kasper yells loudly. "I bought one of those little digital pets that everyone is getting." Kasper pauses in his sentence and waits to see if Hilja approves of his unnecessary purchase.

"Gee Kasper, that's pretty neat." I reply to him, although I am not sure what else to say on that topic. It seems a little dorky, but then who am I to judge. "What sort of animal is it? And does it take a lot to care for it?" I ask him.

Attis yawns as he stretches out near the couch, listening to the political meeting was boring him to death but he couldnt do anything out of the ordinary like open a door and leave, or jump out of the window, or else it might've aroused some suspicion... he was just glad the lot of them ignored him all day.
"Need to go find something more fun then sitting around here..."
He glances around for the fourth person before venturing out and leaping out of the window, quickly tapping into his powers to cause the grass to grow and soften his fall before he landed, and then sets off down the street to find something interesting

Annika 25 approaches Kasper and Hilja from behind and quickly scans them for their credit scores. She focuses on Hilja, who has quite a poor credit score. Kasper was two cents off on his phone bill last month. She approaches the two of them and in a mechanical voice speaks.
"Kasper Schultz..Hilja Kukkanen, the Creditors are concerned about your credit history. Kasper, you were two cents off on your phone bill, prepare to suffer!" The android states evenly, before jumping into the air and landing in front of them, the android rushes at Kasper to punch him.

After taking a bath, Bambi makes a random decision to go visit Helsinki. She often saves up money, so she has enough to pay for a trip using a teleportation booth. She pulls her damp hair up in a loose bun and decides to wear casual clothes instead of her usual work attire. Searching through her closet, she finds a cute flowery dress that she hadn't gotten many chances to wear. It had a simple design, the bottom reaching just above her knees with ruffles at the ends and spaghetti straps.
Her usual blue boots through the soft brown tones of the dress off, but she didn't like wearing any other foot wear. Once she's ready, she pushes her glasses up the rim of her nose and heads toward the nearest teleportation booth.
Once in Helsinki, she smiles softly. Despite the fact she didn't like to travel all too much due to here paranoia and clumsiness, it was nice sometimes. Sure, she had been traveling for Global Bank, but there was something different with doing it outside of for business. Turning the corner, she blinks, spotting a fox trotting along. Were they... native to Helsinki? She didn't think so. Or at least, it wouldn't normally be walking around the middle of town... right?
Thinking it may be someone's pet, she creeps closer and kneels down, extending her hand toward the little thing and making cooing noises. She likes animals, but she was always scared they'd give her some weird disease. If this one was tamed though, it wasn't likely to carry any disease unless it had a poor owner.
((Post to Attis.))

Kasper cries out in terror, "I knew this stupid digi-doggie would be the death of me! I should have just paid the bill in full like I always do!"
Kasper sees Annika 25 loading her fist for a heavy swing at him. He tries to dodge the punch but only succeeds in stepping INTO the punch more.
"Blarrhhgg!!" Kasper cries as the tears instantly flow down his face and past his now broken nose. He clutches his face in agony.
He throws his new digi-doggie pet at the android and blubbers, "Fine, take it! It's worth far more than two cents, just don't hit me again!"

After searching the streets for some fun, he was forced to turn back with no success... the city was as dull as ever it seemed. Turning the corner to go towards hilja's apartment he was in time to spot a person off to the side making weird gestures towards him causing him to frown slightly... although she did look kinda cute. Making a quick decision he trotted over towards her and sat down a few feet away, turning his head every once in awhile as he looked her over. seems my luck is changing... now what sounds do foxes make again
"Arf..."

The android examines the digital animal and for a moment she is distracted. She starts playing with some of the buttons to see how the animal game works. She has not seen anything like this and wishes that she could have a pet...except not a dog, since for some reason she would prefer a cat. This angers her, as much as such a thing could anger a machine.
" I would prefer a cat." And with that, she throws the device onto the ground and crushes it underfoot.
She turns her attention to Hilja who has more serious credit issues and moves to punch her now, since Kasper is weak and pathetic, but far less in debt.

I am pretty terrified by the creditor. I don't know the first thing about fighting and I really don't want to get hurt...especially my face or teeth, since I really can't afford to go to the dentist and most hospitals have been outlawed.
I hide behind my laundry bag and manage to avoid the full force of her punch, although I still stumble backwards. I drop the bag and grab Kasper's hand. "Let's just run!" I decide. And I do my best to run away as quickly as I can. I feel bad leaving my laundry behind since I really miss those clothes.
"Help! Help!" I yell, although I really don't think anyone will care or even dare stand up to a Creditor.

"...." Bambi tilts her head, her glasses sliding down her nose as she tries to figure out if foxes made dog noises. Well, they were part of the canine family weren't they? With a mental shrug, she slowly scooted closer, careful not to scratch her dress on the ground and ruin it. "Oooh, aren't you a cutie."
She coos more, finally getting the nerve to pass her hand over its head. Its fur was softer than anything she'd felt before. Scratching its ears, she smiles softly, beginning to relax from the notion of it being rabid or something. "I wonder where you came from, 'lil guy..." She says, though she isn't sure the gender of the fox.
Suddenly, she hears shouting and stands. After a moment of indecision, she rushes towards the commotion to find a creditor with injuring a female. "Creditor! Bambi Engel, tell me what crime these people have commited." She states, trying to sound firm. She was an employee of Global Bank, so it should answer her, but she wasn't sure. The creditors always gave her the creeps...

"This woman has not made regular payments on her student loans. The International Credit Bureau's Department of Collections has the authority to take the measures we deem appropriate to collect debt or ensure regular repayment." Annika replies. She straightens out her skirt a little which has become bunched from running.
"This is standard procedure." The android replies to Bambi.

While the Creditor is talking to the woman, I sneak away with Kasper. I run back to collect my laundry then sneak down an alley. I am glad for the chance to have escaped but I am worried about Kasper's nose. I watch the Creditor talk to the woman from the shadows of the side street. I also notice Attis in his fox form.

Kasper is lead away by Hilja, clutching his nose and whimpering as quietly as possible as to prevent being noticed once again.

"Kasper, run home, it's late and we can't deliver any more papers tonight. We can try again tomorrow." I tell him. I hand him my own laundry back and send him away so that he can avoid further injury. As for me, I stay back and cautiously observe from the dark side street.
