[The network gets a close-up of a tuxedo cat's curious face, and then the feline loses interest and moves on--revealing a dozen more cats huddling on a bed and crowding close to Rita, who's quick to complain to her roommate.]

What a pain! Where are these guys all coming from?

[Despite her best attempt to put on a grumpy face, both of her hands are busy skritching ears of the closest cats.

As for said roommate, Estelle sits next to Rita on the bed--and the cats absolutely refuse to come near her, leaving the princess' half of the bed empty except for herself.]

[ooc: Rita is cursed with the (arguably) not-awesome superpower to attract cats today! Estelle is just a natural deterrent.]

A curse.... Who cursed you? Was it a witch? And why pick cats? That doesn't seem like a bad curse.

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

Okay, okay, look. They're just weird things that happen every few days. Most of them are pretty stupid.

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

So....

This is just a stupid curse? That's why it's not a bad one?

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

It is just stupid, but that doesn't mean it's good, either.

[...Even as she strokes the head of one purring cat.]

That kitty seems to like you.

Do you not like them?

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

Huh? Well, I don't really dislike them...

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

Good. It would be bad if they were unwanted.

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

It's not like I want to keep them either, you know!

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

[Sad face - the poor unwanted kitties!]

If you don't want them...could I have one? That way it doesn't have to be unwanted?

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Oh man, that face...She'll just keep trying to look grumpy.]

Well, sure, if you want...But you're just going to pick one and leave all the others?

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

[Oh no! He can't just leave them all to feel unwanted. But....]

I don't think Mama and Papa will let me have all of them.

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[She sighs; she could just tell him to think for himself, but she's not that mean...really...!]

All right. Then pick one, and maybe someone else will take the others.

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

R-really?!

[Points at fluffy one walking by.] I want that one!

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

This one?

[She reaches out for the fluffball and gently picks it up, while something else occurs to her.]

Okay--but only if it doesn't belong to anyone else. I don't know where they came from, so they might not be strays.

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

-! [Ken hadn't thought of that either and looks a little stunned.]

If it belongs to someone else it should go home. And I'll take another. [But he definitely wants that one.]

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

That's if. Nobody's claimed it so far, so it's yours for now.

[Once the curse ends, anyway, because these cats just don't want to leave!]

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

How do I get it from you?! Where do you live?

[That will be fun to explain....]

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

I live on the beach. You can have it tomorrow.

[Surely...And it's not like making a little kid come all the way to the beach would be mean or anything, right?]

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

I can't have it now?

[Rita, mean? Never. And, lol, it's not like he's going to show up once he's no longer a kid.]

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

You can try, but it's not going anywhere. They don't want to leave.

[Unthinkable! And njaksd she might just wonder what happened...]

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay. It can stay there if it wants to. But when it wants to go, I want to take it home!

[He'll probably drop her a note when he's his normal age again asking if the cat is still there, but he's not sure why his younger self wanted it any longer.]

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Aw. She might try to pass it off to him, anyway...For now, he does get a slight smile out of her.]

Once the curse is over, it shouldn't have any reason to stay. You should be able to take it tomorrow.

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

[Aw. He might still take it, then.]

video; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

I-it's not really that big a deal...

[Aw, good. Not quite a wormmon, but...!]

video; ♥!

[oceantrauma.livejournal.com]

But it is to me and the kitty. I really want to bring it home.

[Nothing can replace Wormmon. ;A; But it will help with the ticking.]
