Templeton Recovered! A Bounty Hunter is Born!

[sneaky]

It was mid afternoon or so around 5 o' clock pm or so. Templeton rose from the hospital bed lines of wounded where on both side but only two others that had once been part of his crew where in that room with him. It was already the fourth day after the ship wreck but he still couldn't believe he had survived and since his master was dead he was... well... now a free man! Templeton looked at his hands covered in bandages the Marine Medics had taken well care of him.

Templeton got out of the bed he caressed the brown fur on his head... maybe he would explore around the Fort a bit take in some fresh air... it wouldn't be long before the Marines sent him out to fend for himself again he had but one more day for his full recovery and that fresh air would help him meditate his next move. Where to go? How would he feed himself? And most importantly how would he fund his inventions.

Templeton walked past the isles of beds slowly... he wore a light blue patient's gown. There where a fair share of people there some sick others badly injured it was mostly Marines actually. He came to the door which he opened the agressive outdoor sun hit the Mink's sensitive eyes. "Gah!" Templton exclaimed cover his eyes and later opening them up a bit letting them slowly adjust his eyes remained squinted bright light always bothered Templeton. 'Where are my goggles when I need them?' He thought to himself, Templeton looked around he had entered a courtyard not to far was a flag pole with the World Government flag flying high up proudly around it a Warrant Officer Commanded a group of Seaman Recruits to do some drills.

Templeton watched them from afar complete their repetative tasks. He soon got bored... being a Marine must be dead boring... He kept looking around when he found a board with varius Bounty Posters on them... one of them instantly caught Templeton's eye... Larry Savannah 'The Savage' he held a 5,000,000 Beri Bounty... something unimpressive to say the least but what caught Templeton's attention was his race... it was another Mink a Hyena Mink! Templeton pulled down the poster and eyed it closely.

Poor, poor Noe - she was DYING ....of boredom! At last she was able to leave North Blue - her superiors had enough of her, and so our energetic chore girl obtained a much deserved transfer to another marine base! At first Ipo was delighted with that decision, finally geeting a chance to travel across seas was an adventure by itself(Even if she had been just cleaning ship's floor the whole time) and the climate was also much better on West Blue(Swimming in cold waters of North Blue isn't fun!). But even here Noe was only doing miscellaneous tasks, mopping the floor, peeling potatoes, cleaning shoes, doing laundry ect. Ugh... the monotony was simply killing her! Good thing, that after few weeks, she started to neglect her responsibilities. For fish sake! Noe just wanted some fun, there ware pirates and bounty hunters in neighborhood and that sounded waaaay cooler than cleaning!

- *Yawn*
With a broom in her hands, our great marine wannabe was sneaking around the base, pretending to be working too deceive her strict seniors, once again she was incredible bored, she dreamed of some kind of adventure, or at least about meeting a new face and at least one wish was granted just now! Near the news board, a strange raty-thing appeared!
- Whoo, that's freakin cool.
Murmured Nio to herself, keeping her eyes on the new animal/person(It was hard to tell). Ipo let the broom out of her hands, and in an almost hypnotized state moved near Tempelton.
- Howdy raty-thing-guy! ....Oh my gosh! You are even cuter in person! Hey, sweetie can you u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d m-e?
Asked Noe loudly, with voice full of excitement, and sparkles in eyes.

As he studied the bounty poster, Templeton was startled. "Gah!" He exclaimed, he turned to see who it was. To his reliefe it was just a choregirl his heart which had been racing slowed down.

Choregirl or not this girl was extremely curious. Granted Minks where usually not seen in the Four Blues this tended to get a lot of attention but never this level or kind of attention. "Yes! Of course I can understand you." Said Templeton a bit irritated at the question... people assuming he was a pet or some exotic animal was the most frustrating thing in the world. Templeton sighed... it suddenly hit him... this girl looked innocent... a bit naive one could even claim.

A devilish smile curled up in his face... a bit of a jerk move but maybe he could take some sort of advantage of her. "Hey girl! While I appreciate you flattering me calling me cute and all... I am in need of assistance I require my clothing." Templeton grabbed his sleeve and lifed it. "You see... this is a hospital gown not my usual wear."

He paused giving her time to understand what he had just said. "Oh. And do you know where I can find this overgrown mutt!" Templeton showed off the Bounty Poster with the Hyena mink on it.

Woooo, he can speak! That was simply outstanding! It was a first time Noe have seen a humanoid rat-thing, so of course she was quite fascinated by it. Was he a member of another race or maybe an user of this strange magical fruits she heard about? It was a hard guess - but hey, she can just ask, right?
- Hospital gown? Aww, and here I was, thinking that this is some kind of new trend. You are rocking that outfit! But you want to change? Hmm... leave that to your aunt Ipo! That's me by the way. Well then, where can I find them?
Noe proudly answered Tampleton plea for help, after all she was a marine, right? They ware here to help all citizens - even those with fur. Geting some pice of cloth was an easy job, but the second part?
- Overgrown mutt?
Asked Noe looking closer at the bounty poster.
- ...Larry Savannah, huh? Oh, another fluffy one! Is he your brother, sister, evil twin or something like that? Sorry, I don't know to much about him, but if he has a bounty, then you can probably find him on West Shore, that's the cool place of this island, everyone with "awesome" attached to his name sits there! But I overheard some marines, that it is a pretty dangerous there.
