Maud: I want to adopt a bearded dragon please! Particularly the one scratching at the glass… he seems to like me!
The mare leaned to the right almost impossibly, seeing it, she then snapped back to her original stance, and nodded. “OK, just insert your Citizen Card into the Counter.” She said, pointing to the “counter”. As if on command, a round robotic eye flipped open, directed at them. A mechanical arm unfolded from a compartment, maneuvering towards Maud, a card-swipe device attached to the end.
Maud: Citizen Card…? Is that the company of credit that you take?
"No, it’s your monetary storage device, ID, personal passcard, social tracker, life sign register, telecommunications device, and in an emergency, dedicated defense drone." The mare listed.
Maud: I… I’m a tourist… I’m not resident here… I’m sorry…
The mare looked confused, and said, “But weren’t you issued a temporary one when you entered?” Meemya began to panic. He had his, kept it in his pocket. He attempted to use morse code to notify Maud of this fact, thanking just about every word in the dictionary that Undi never learned morse.
Maud: Uhhh one sec…
*She looks into the cage at him.*
Undi nods, glancing behind her at the staff door. Meemya tries to mouth “my jacket” to her.
*”Where?” Maud mouthed.*
He gestured to the one intact pocket of his jacket. (( Didn’t I mention he was wearing a patchwork jacket made of scraps of cloth and rags?))
((No… but that’s okay!))
*Maud quickly opened the cage and reached into the pocket, quickly grabbing the card and closing the door.*
Maud: Aha!
The mare turned back around to face her again, and said, “Excellent! Then just slide the card through.” She gestured at the card-reader.
*She slid it through card-reader…*
It made a string of beeping noises, Meemya’s head appearing on the screen, beside it some info, such as height, weight, age, etc.. The mare looked at the screen in shock, then looked at Maud, still maintaining her shocked expression.
Maud: Is something wrong-? What? UGH. I knew I picked up the wrong ID card!
A large grin slowly spread across the mare’s face. “Oh… My… Gosh…” She suddenly let out a loud excited screech, and began dancing in a circle, in a very similar way to how Meemya did. Meemya buried his head under himself. If he was still warmblooded, he would have been blushing.
