A/N- Sorry, I must continue this mini-arc.
Active Imagination
Fantine hopped over. "He doesn't know where appliances come from?"
Radio paused. "Well, he's learning, but earlier he thought we were adopted."
Fantine sat in her cage. A recently assembled fan and awaiting someone to pick her up. She looked around. The cage had a perch and an outlet near the bottom. The other recently assembled fans fluttered around their cages, having conversations in chirps.
She glanced at the door leading to where the bigger fans lived.
A call over the radio startled the fans. A frenzy of chirps nearly deafened the worker.
"We have a couple looking for a desk fan."
Two people entered the room and walked up to Fantine's cage.
"Ah, turquoise," the worker said. "What a fine color." He took the cage off the shelf.
"When she starts to get too big for the cage, that mean she's ready for life outside."
Fantine paused. "Wait, that's not right." She glanced at Cassius.
The task was simple: take a small tape recorder home and teach it not to eat tapes.
Cassius was wrapped in a bundle and taken into a house.
Several blank tapes were scattered around a table.
"Okay," the worker said. She unwrapped one of the tapes and put it into Cassius's "mouth".
He just held it in there. The worker patted him on the head.
"This is going well."
Fantine scratched her head with her plug. "That's not right either."
