[video]

[blastiafreak]

[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!]

[She's not sure what to make of that expression--ends up passing it off as frustration, maybe.] Not very much, then.

[stargathering]

...Not too much, no.

--But I know he really needs a better cat to keep him company. One that's not a pain.

1/2

[blastiafreak]

I don't know...I like the one he already--I mean, there's nothing really wrong with that one-

[blastiafreak]

Wait. Don't tell me you came to get a cat for him, did you?

[stargathering]

I did. Are you going to turn me away for that? Maybe he'll let you keep Eyes if I give him another one...

[blastiafreak]

D-don't be stupid--I'm not going to turn you away because of that! [Nope, it has nothing to do with Eyes, nothing at all-]

[stargathering]

You didn't sound excited about it, but... You really want to get rid of them that much, Kanone might take them all. [ Totally not about Eyes. ]

[blastiafreak]

I was just surprised you'd give one to someone you hardly know. He didn't care about any of them except for Eyes, anyway.

[stargathering]

It's not that I hardly know him, just... [ trailing off. Subject change! ]

Did you try to give him another with Eyes? [ Tyr doesn't want to add another adorable cat to his own apartment if this fails. ]

[blastiafreak]

[Subject change goes unnoticed!] No, but...He wasn't exactly in a mood for suggestions.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr would have just surprised Kanone, but now he's imagining this. ] ...I bet. His attachment to Eyes is... [ ...yeeeeah. ]

[blastiafreak]

It was just unnatural! He wouldn't shut up about it until I brought him back. [Because clearly it's abnormal to be angry that she stole him in the first place.]

[stargathering]

Maybe he was worried about the fact you were hoarding him with a bunch of other cats.

[blastiafreak]

Why would he be worried about that?

[Wait, what did Tyr come here for? Yeah, it's off to the disaster zone that is the study!] Anyway, you want to look at them, right?

[stargathering]

[ He would have given her a few reasons, but instead he just nods. ] Yeah, I want to pick one myself...

[blastiafreak]

So let's go. And you don't have to pick just one. [She leads him to the study, where cats are still lounging all over the place. At least she cleaned up that hairball, too...]

[stargathering]

I'd rather not. He might not accept the one as it is...

[ Tyr wanders in, careful not to step on anything and I'm glad Rita is sanitary, at least. All the cats look pretty ordinary to him, but Tyr has cat-catching experience. ...as he carefully takes his time picking one. ]

prooobably last one before bed o/

[blastiafreak]

[even she wouldn't leave vomit on the floor THAT'S JUST GROSS sob While Rita just stands off to the side and watches...maaaybe petting another cat, though it's not the same as Eyes.]

If he doesn't, you're keeping it.

okay! ♥ sleep well!

[stargathering]

[ LEON IS STILL PROUD, SURELY. Rita may miss Eyes, but Tyr doesn't notice. He's looking at the more available cats. Having another that looks like Eyes might be bad, so... He goes for the tortoiseshell cat that seemed to be very happy licking herself until Tyr started petting her. ]

I'll keep that in mind... [ ...strokestoke. He wouldn't mind having a cat... ] But if you're just releasing the others, I could do that, too...

morning~♥

[blastiafreak]

[YES. SOMEHOW. No way, she totally doesn't miss him. Even if the cat she's petting looks slightly similar.]

I guess, but...It's not like one more cat's going to make a huge difference at your home.

Good morning! ♥

[stargathering]

[ Sure you don't, Rita. Tyr isn't really enjoying the way the cat he's petting is nuzzling his hand, either. ]

...That's a good point. [ as an excuse ] If Kanone rejects it, I'll take this one home.

[ Scooping up the kitty now. ]

♥

[blastiafreak]

[Right, just like Luc isn't a cat person. And she's succeeded in getting rid of another one no she won't be sad to see it go]

It'll probably like you better than it would like him, anyway.

[stargathering]

[ All these characters hate cats, most of all Kanone. ]

Probably. [ Is it purring? Ahhh. He doesn't look at her while her scratches behind the cat's ears. ] Kanone doesn't seem like the type to let things go if they reject him, though...

[blastiafreak]

[Absolutely. He didn't want Eyes back at all.]

[Rita furrows her eyebrows at the statement, but--anything weird about it is probably just her imagination.] So you think he's that starved for attention from a cat?

[stargathering]

[ And Eyes is such a sweet cat! ]

...Yeah. [ Even if he agreed to give Eyes to Tyr for a bet, Tyr is sure that was just a bluff. ] Doesn't he seem lonely to you?
