408 - Davin & Luke's room

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

Davin invited the old man Luke to move into his apartment on the 4th floor, the only people to live on this floor. Davin sleeps on the couch now, allowing the old man to have privacy in his bedroom. Also residents are cat Sandy and Dog Rex.

Davin-
"Oh, Rex, why are you still nervous? You have a big adventure today? Yes you did!"


Luke-
"Talkin' to dogs again? This can't end well."


Davin-
"Luke, you shouldn't be so judgmental. Anyway, Rex got to see a ghost today. I think he's still afraid."


Luke-
"Dog don't know nothin'... Yer cat on the other hand..."


Davin-
"What do you know, Sandy wandy pookums?"


Luke-
"I saw her wink... She knows something..."

TIME WARP!!!

[◊◊BLOODBEASTER◊◊]

At Luke's apartment, Alex knocked on the door and Davin answered. Alex asked if Luke was in.

Davin-
"Sorry, kid. The old buzzard is taking a nap. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, no. I'll just catch him later, Mr. Davin."

Alex hesitated.

"Well, before I leave, there is one thing. Do you know how to teach a cat tricks?"

Davin-
"They have a real short attention span, so ya gotta connect in their little minds the reward with the behavior with some kind of bridge. First, train them to associate a clicker or other sound with getting a treat. Next, try training them to do things and when they do it right, use a click quickly. After that, give them the treat. But without the click, they'll be too stupid to associate the reward with the trick.

That's what I heard. I never taught Sandy to do nothin' though. She's fine the way she is."

Much later...



Davin and Luke play checkers, while the pets run around crazily.

Luke and Davin were drawn out into the hall by the noise of the siege. For the rest of the night, the room remained relatively devoid of human life.
