THE BIG BITE CHALLENGE Think your pet is all that? Head to the Playful Pup to test a new toy! All creatures are welcome to test their strength.
It's an advertisement, but someone had gone to the length of posting it on the quest board and stuff flyers in the city mail slots. His uncle had a particular printing term for it but Kristofor doesn't recall it offhand. But the test of a new toy? He'd really not purchased any toys for his companions; making most of them himself. It entertains the houlou for hours with a knotted-up pair of human socks. But his brood is growing in companions, and what kinds they are, besides being smaller. Suffolk and eventually Oogwai are not small. They started so. But the voltitan's shell is the size of a large dinner plate, and he's grumpy almost all the time. Well, taking him to test a new toy wouldn't be a bad choice, but he's taking the pull cart this time. 1

He's never stepped foot into this store, wearing his vest and a longer set of shorts that reach almost to his ankle, which is human height for their own knees. Its bright, playful and smells of many creatures recently stepping foot inside. Likely triers of said new toy. Never seen so many toys in one place in his life. Towed along behind him, Oogwai's head is partially retracted into his shell, with only his beak poking out. He's in a mood, and YipsMuch is stupid. He is dragging him around outside, and he can walk on his own, thank you. But no, put into the PullandMove and moved along. Annoyed. Huff. Problem is that he's big enough that leaving the PullandMove in motion is hard. He is getting big. His shell tells him so. "You have a toy to test out? My voltitan is here to try it out. ..and perhaps one for me?" He won't lie, never has sometimes wanted a chew toy then lately. 2

The answer is a very excitable yes, carting out two grapefruit sized squeaky toys. One is orange, the other is blue. The test is to attempt to ruin the toy. "Wait, you want me to try to ruin the toy?" Yes! The 'big bullies' of the species in the city are in dire need of enrichment that isn't ruining car tires. Thus, this 'indestructible' chew toy. Just be careful not to ruin his teeth with testing it himself. Well, Kristofor thinks to himself, he's not a hunter but he still takes good care of his dental. He puts the blue chew toy on the floor, and picks up Oogwai with a grunt of effort. Heavy turtle... and puts him on the floor. Going to the trouble to riffle in his satchel for a few sardines to rub one lightly on the toy to lure the moody voltitan. Inspecting the orange one for himself. Hm. Its a bit smaller then a grapefruit for him, more like an orange. Had it lost a bit of air? 3

Food? He smells SwimFood, extending his head fully from the shell. Its too bright in here with a hiss of displeasure. The small feet of YipsMuch are far from his reach, but there is something new. what is this thing. It is blue. Blue like him. A cursory glance downwards at his own deep lapis scales. More like his notasblue markings. Well. Its round. His head snakes back and forth in curiosity. Nosing the RoundThing that smells like SwimFood. He's pointedly ignoring YipsMuch, and reaches out to bite into the round food smelling thing. Looks like a rock. It rolls away as he attempts to bite into the object. What? Come back here food. Kristofor knows very well fox jaws don't open too far, very unlike a snake. It does allow to squeeze it, releasing a squeak that makes him almost drop the toy in shock. Ok, that is definitely not going in his sleeping area. So he's attempting to gnaw on it himself now. 4

It may have been his imagination but he may have heard query on why he would want a chew toy and test it for himself. Ah, this one he had an answer for. "I have a cub at home who has destroyed every teething toy we have; if this is truly indestructible, I will be purchasing several." he says, resuming cautious gnawing. This rubber is TOUGH. And this wasn't a full on lie either, because his cub cousin is teething majorly, according to a courier sent letter from his aunt and uncle, causing mayhem. Bonk. The voltitan has nudged the ball into a corner, pinning it with a foot to attempt eating it. Nearly half an hour passes. Jaw sore, Kristofor puts the toy back down on the table after wiping it free of fox drool, going ot retrieve the one gnawed on by Oogwai. The toy has no blemish from what he can feel. "I'll take four once they're done being tested." he tells the shopkeeper, giving his name and address on where to ship the indestructible toys. 5 +1 oogwai -fin
