[Here is one Rita, glancing off to the side of the camera defensively.]

Okay, if--if nobody comes and picks them up, I'm not keeping them all.

[A slight blurring of the video as the camera rotates, and the picture focuses on no fewer than half a dozen cats lounging in various spaces in the study.

Yeah, guess who was busy during that robbing curse. Eyes is nowhere to be seen...because he's out of sight of the device, comfortably situated in Rita's lap.]

[ooc: If your character owns a cat, feel free to have theirs be part of Rita's haul!]

[And then they'd fall into the monkey cage in the zoo.]

It's an ancient civilization.

[blastiafreak]

[...Is that better or worse than the fountain...]

So you research ancient magic spells?

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[Well it'd probably be harder to get out of. On the other hand the monkeys could babysit.]

I study them, yeah.

[blastiafreak]

[They'd get full of fleas. :<]

What are they like? Is there a wide variety? How about the mana turnover--Wait, you guys might not use mana.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[The monkeys won't mind. :|]

There's a pretty good variety. Illusions, teleportation, other things. And no, we don't have mana. [A pause.] Do I have to stand out here all day?

[blastiafreak]

[...Luc, such a terrible parent. :|]

I've never put together any formulas that could do those... [Blink. Oh yeah, she guesses he can come in. Moving back to give him some space!] Yeah, all right--come on, already.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[Only the best for such terrible kids. :|]

Thank you. [Finally. And he goes in! Looking around because, oh hey, he's never been here before! It's a pretty nice place.]

[blastiafreak]

[Clearly, they took after him. :|]

The cats are this way. [Rita's not much of a host--no offers for drinks or anything; she just starts heading towards the study, expecting him to follow. Being the place where Rita hangs around, it's a complete disaster.]

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[...He's not their mother. :|

He actually prefers heading straight for the cats, so the lack of ceremony doesn't bother him. The disaster zone, though...] Do you ever clean this place?

[blastiafreak]

[...Papa? :|

She's gotten enough questions about it by now that she knows exactly what he means. But it still annoys her.] It's fine the way it is!

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[No. :|]

Suit yourself, I guess. [He'll just...ignore the mess and look for cats! Ugh what a dump.]

[blastiafreak]

[Big brother, then. :|]

What, are you some kind of neat freak? [Among all that junk are several cats! Sleeping on books, shelves, chairs, anywhere.]

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[......Fine. >:|]

I'm not. [Aaah kitties. It's like a treasure trove of cute or something.] ...So they're strays?

[blastiafreak]

[Be more excited, big brother. :|

She'll never admit that she thinks the same! Never ever.] ...If they weren't before, they will be. Nobody's claiming them.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[That's asking a bit much. :|

Ooh this one looks nice. Heading for it!] You're not keeping any?

[blastiafreak]

[Come on, he has the best siblings ever. :|

Who, me? This place is turning into enough of a farmhouse without them.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[So very wonderful. He can't even say how great they are. :|

Petting a kitty. So cuute he doesn't even feel like saying anything rude right now.] How's that?

[blastiafreak]

[No words can express his joy. :|]

We've been left with a ton of pets by people who went home. So feel free to take as many of these ones as you want.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[Indeed. :|]

So the place has turned into a homeless shelter for pets? [A pause.] I think I'll just take this one.

[blastiafreak]

[Such happy family. :|]

Hey, it's not like it was my idea! [But Luc, there are so many! Take more!] Are you sure that's all you're taking?

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[The happiest. :|]

I never said it was. [Don't tempt me.] I'm absolutely sure.

[blastiafreak]

[And loving. :|]

I'm just making sure you get it. [Tempt, tempt!] You know, they might not be here later if you end up changing your mind.

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

[The lovingest! That is a word now. :|]

[Noooo no tempting!] ...I think two cats and Riou's squirrel is probably more than enough for the apartment.

[blastiafreak]

[Yes. Yes it is. :|

Like she'll listen!] Maybe if your apartment's only two rooms. [Which she knows it isn't, because she's been there!]

[wind-magic.livejournal.com]

I'm not getting any more. [He's determined!!]
