There was only one pet store that could be reached without straying really far the neighborhood, which they had been assured would be a dangerous thing. Everything cost twice as much as it would elsewhere, but whatev. It was in the basement level of one of a half dozen malls nearby, next to an overpriced discount store, two music shops, and a couple of gaudy sportswear joints.
It wasn't very busy so staff was readily available. But what would a trip to the pet store be without looking at all the weird animals first? Lizards, spiders, snakes, turtles, crabs, fish, snails, rodents, rabbits, and stanky mustelids. The whole place had an intensity of scent that they found more intense than expected.
As vampires, they were slowly getting used to the unfortunate condition of being able to smell trace amounts of piss and shit on relatively clean people fairly often. These animals kicked that up a million notches, with exotic BO to boot.{originally}Eli took the time to gaze at some of the more exotic animals available, but he was a man on a mission and didn't linger for too long... "C'mon, we have to find the ferrets!"
Eli found a section of cages dedicated to delightful fuzzbutts, and one instantly caught his eye. He picked this lil' guy and poked his fingers through the cage at it.
"Jason! I think I've found our third roommate!"

"First I influence you to try and almost rob someone now you're stealing ferrets? I think I'm becoming a bad influence on you." He rubbed the ferrets head." I have to admit, it is kinda cute."
{originally} "Hey, we're not stealing it...The store is open and we've got money, so..." , he whispered in a vampire-low voice."I just hope Vitus doesn't get mad at us...But I mean, it's not that big of a deal and he already made me cry once so...maybe he'll be nice about it."

((Note edit above, they won't let u whip out an animal around here, it's a little weird for me to imagine that being kosher.))
The smell of the ferrets was stronger than pretty much any animal in the store. They made the local universe smell like barnyard bouillon. On the plus side, vampire's natural disgust for the stank of the world is diminished by being so aware of it, and the intensity of these guys kicked that sensory discrimination up a notch. Now u find out what it's like to be Demetri hangin' with his animal homies...{originally} ((Yeah, it's kind of a complicated thing. The local pet store I go to sometimes has open areas where people can come up and pick rabbits and other small animals up, and I've been to others that were more chill about it, but I figure it varies a lot.)) Eli couldn't care less about the smell, because the allure of cute animals was too strong for him. He was far too taken with the idea of having a ferret to give in now. So, he approached an associate about the matter. "Hello, um, I would like to adopt a ferret, please..."

"No, no, no. If Vitus get mad, its not going to be at us, its going to be at you.

Clerk- "Sure! We highly recommend also getting an appropriate cage, food, and so on. Is this your first ferret?" {originally} "Yep, this will be my first, so I'd like to get everything I need. What would you recommend?" Eli had done a few Lookit searches but not much else, so he was eager to listen to what she had to say.

Clerk- "I understand many people are on a tight budget, but with a very active and inquisitive animal like a ferret, it's good to have the largest cage possible, and have some interest features - toys an whatnot, as long as it doesn't get crowded..." She went through a low-pressure sales pitch for the dee-luxe ferret package. Lastly she said, Clerk- "Ferrets are really cute and fun, but they can be a lot of trouble. They can hide in very small spaces which can be dangerous for them, and be very destructive with the environment. The ones here are not perfectly housebroken, and while we have suggestions on how to do that, you will probably be, er, pooped and peed on at some point, as well as anything you put them on. So I recommend keeping them in the cage as much as possible at first, and only handling them outside the cage if you are confident you can keep them in hand until it's time to put them back." ((I gotta be unavailable for a some hours after this post.))

((Additional tip if u wanna RP any animal stuffs in my absence - all vampires are seen by animals as weird animate objects rather than creatures. Which is good for avoiding fear response, but also means getting affection from them is not likely. Giving them affection shouldn't be hard tho, and they'll play with an animate object.)){originally} Eli listened intently to the information the clerk was giving him, agreeing to purchase the deluxe package and a variety of other accessories for his new fluffeh baby. As she gathered all the things for his order, Eli went back to the cage to pet (as much as was possible through the bars of the cage) and make kissy noises at his new ferret.
He turned to Jason, "You know you're my accomplice, right? Heh heh heh..."

"Hell naw. I'll be out in the car." With that, Jason headed in the direction of the exit.
{originally} "Nooo, don't go! Alright, alright, you're not my accomplice."

"I'll hold you to that." He walked back towards Eli.
