The Cat Who Runs in the Town

Who: Kuro & Anyone
Where: Mostly the heart of the city, but anywhere.
When: Monday afternoon
Style: Either or. Recommended music for this log is this.
Status: Open.

[While Rin was out of commission Kuro decided he should take this time to explore this city a little more. There was still so much to learn about this place and the people in it and a little adventure took his mind off more pressing issues. A little distraction never hurt anyone.

So yes, feel free to notice this adorable cat with two tails, nubby white horns, and a giant snaggle fang as he goes around town getting between people's legs as they walk and sneaking off with food from cafes and food stands.]

[ooc; kuro is a demon cat/nekomata and can communicate telepathically to other demons/half demons and mythical animals!]

[Welp, Kuro might just notice that he's being half watched and half wandered after as he sneaks off from a food stand. Boris' tail is swaying back and forth and his head cocked slightly to the side.

Here he thought he was one of the most unique-looking cats...]

[He notices awhile back that he might be followed, but he doesn't make a fuss out of it for now. At least he wasn't being bothered!

He darts off into a secluded alleyway to enjoy his newly acquired corndog. Hopefully his stalker won't ask for some.]

[Not unless it's fish, demon kitty.

Boris waltzes along after him, peering into the alleyway. His eye glows dimly in the shadow here and he sniffs at the air, then wrinkles his nose.] Hey, if you're going to take food, you should take fish, you know?

That tastes better.

[He perks up when his stalker finally says something, his lunch temporarily forgotten for now.

'Meat is good too! Have you never tried it before?']

I've had it, [Boris says with a careless flap of a hand.] But in the end, fish is the best.

['Fish is good, but I had that for breakfast.' Meaning he took it off some poor vendor. At least everything was free, right?

'Is that why you've been following me?']

[Boris blinks, then laughs.]

Nope. I followed you because I thought you were interesting-looking cat. [He crouches down, tail swinging lazily.] I was curious.

[Kuro looks at him, head cocked to the side.

'Are you a kind of demon too?']

Demon? Not at all.

[He adjusts his huge fur boa.] I'm a cat. The Cheshire Cat.

[His work done for the day, Cielo thought that he'd stop by a place and pick up some food to bring back to the Embryon base. Picking a place he hadn't been before, he was about to order some food when he spots a cat running around.

omg cat

Forgetting completely about food, he starts following the little feline around. What a strange looking cat! Cielo is pretty sure that there's only supposed to be one tail and this is the first one he's seen with horns.

...demon kitty!?]

[In his mouth he has a half eaten fried fish that looked like it was once on a stick. That aside, he knows he's being followed but unless his stalker plans on trying to take his food he sees no reason to approach him.

Instead as he passes by an outdoor cafe he notices a glass of water left by a past customer on a table. Jumping on the chair he sets down his fish carefully to then hop up on the table to lap at the water. Waste not want not.]

[While he has no reason or desire to steal from kitty cats, Cielo certainly likes talking to them. The last cat he spoke to could understand what he was saying, so this one can too, right? Now that the cat has stopped a little, now's his chance!]

What kind of cat are you?

[He's seen a lot of cats since coming to Vatheon - big ones, little ones, soft ones, fluffy ones, but never one like this!]

['Huh?' Kuro perks up from his water. His tails sway slowly behind him. 'I'm a nekomata!' But of course what were the chances this guy could even hear him talk. If anything he'd just hear him meow a lot.]

[Kitty? Did you just talk? Cats from other worlds can talk?

...unfair!]

Nekomata? You don't look like the Nekomata from where I come from.

[No, just a special few.

'What do they look like there?']

[Hmm...how to explain Nekomata as he know them?]

Well, they're more like human women with cat parts. They have long hair, [running both of his hands in his hair] white fur on their arms and back, [He taps both of his arms] and a tail. [Just sort of vaguely points behind him.] They have yellow kitty eyes and they wear masks that cover the lower parts of their faces. It gives them kitty fangs and pointy ears. They have claws like cats too.

['Well I'm not a girl and I've never been able to turn into anything that looked human before!' A small huff.

'That's so weird! Can you talk to them too?']

Sure can.

[Though most of them were more interested in trying to kill him than conversation.]

All demons can talk to each other.

--Hey!

[WHOA WHOA WHOA--HE ALMOST TRIPPED, YOU MANGY--

Awww, though, it's a cat. Junpei can't be mad at an animal.]

Little dude, it's not safe to be runnin' around like that. Where's your owner?

[He dances away from Junpei's legs when he starts to trip and meows loudly up at him.

'I don't have an owner! I live with Rin, but he's my friend!' Meow meow meow. Jeez, this cat makes a lot of noise.]

[...Fucking precious.]

You're a chatterbox, ain'tcha? Psh, that's okay, though, people call me a chatterbox all the time. You hungry, lil bro?

[You bet he is.

Oh well, another person who can't understand him. Not like that would stop Kuro from talking to him anyways.

'I don't talk that much!' But the mention of food has him perky again. 'I sure am!'.] Meow!

Hahaha, that's what I like to hear! Question is...what do cats usually eat?

[He's pretty sure people would yell at him if he just gave a cat whatever the hell was in his bag. Although he is pulling out a pork bun and inspecting it to see if a cat would, logically, like eating it.]

[Seeing that pork bun Kuro lights up, eyes wide.

'I can eat that! That looks delicious!']

Eh? This? [He waves it, then lightly tosses it for Kuro to catch.] There ya go, buddy!

Man, come to think of it, you're not exactly a normal-lookin' cat huh? Kind of like a classic nekomata, come to think of it...only I don't know if they ever had--what are those, horns?

[He totally catches it in midair. You don't mess around with food.

Setting it on the ground carefully to free his mouth he meows loudly at Junpei. 'I am! I am a nekomata!']

Oh, is that right? Guess you're a nekomata then. Don't remember if they ever learn how to talk, though...I wonder if Ai-chan would be able to understand what you're sayin'? She can speak dog, why not nekomata?

[A beat before he shakes his head.]

Ai-chan's a friend from my world, but she ain't here. My name's Junpei, by the way.

[An animal was probably the last thing Richter was expecting to see running around Vatheon. He watches as Kuro wanders by, and doesn't even bother to keep his voice down.]

What a curious-looking monster.

[He was near ready to pounce on an unsuspecting piece of fallen pretzel when he hears the comment. Shooting a look at Richter his ears fall back. If anything he looks miffed.

'I am not a monster!']

[It takes Richter a second to realize that that thing just talked.]

Uh, sorry. What are you then?

[ooc: I'm assuming Richter will be able to understand Kuro since he's a half-elf ~~and ToS doesn't exactly give a good idea of what they're capable of~~.]

[ooc; that's totally cool!]

[Oh, another person that can understand him! Was he a demon too?

'I'm a nekomata! What are you?']

Half-elf. What's a "nekomata"?

[Prepare for some Q&A, Kuro.]

['Elf? What's that?' He trots over to where he was sitting and hops up on the other side of his table.

'I'm a kind of demon, I guess.' There was a lot more to it, but that didn't seem necessary to tell a complete stranger!]

An elf is a humanoid being capable of casting magic. They look almost exactly like humans.

[Richter leans forward to get a close look at Kuro.]

You look different than I thought a demon would look like. You're rather small.

['That must be nice.' His tails flick.

Kuro puffs up a little. 'I don't always look like this! It's just easier to get around when I'm small!']

[ So she's out. And about. A thing that people do around here and it's pretty cool, right? Kinda boring lately. The computers in the lab are stupid pieces of hell that are giving her headaches and she can only hide Dirk's glasses for so long and--

oh my god it's a cat.

Oh my god it's an adorable cat with two tails and horns and it's so cute.

So she crouches a few feet behind it and holds out a hand because cat. ]

Hey there li'l fella.

[He stops, ears perked, when a girl just up and starts talking to him. She seems sweet enough so he moves toward her and sniffs at her hand.

'Hello!'] Mrow!

And a good mrow to you, too.

[ What she's not crazy go away.

She crooks her fingers a little to scratch under his chin, grinning. ]

Totes hope I didn't mrow something inappropriate in cat. Not fluent yet y'know.

[ ...legitimately not for a lack of trying. ]

[Do cats smile? This one does. Wow, what a weird girl! It isn't hard for him to see she's a pretty sweet person though and he likes that.

He starts to purr. 'You didn't!' More happy meows.]

[ Yes good cat let Roxy give you all of the attention. ]

Y'remind me of my old cat, Frigglish. Had two sets of eyes, y'know. Totally his most charming feature. He was a good cat.

[ pause. ]

'til he got squashed by that giant book.

[ oops. ]

[Purr purr purr--

Wait what.

He actually looks a little worried by that statement. Giant book? How big did a book have to be to kill a cat? Wow Roxy.]

Oops, you prob'ly didn't wanna hear somethin' like that, did ya? Don't worry, this book was monstrous. Like. It would probably take like five people just to pick it up. It had evil mastermind plots written all over its cover, you could tell. Totes jealous of tiny adorable cats being able to be held all easily and stuff.

[ oooo time for some ear scratches ]

Roxy here will protect you from any and all cat-killing books, mark my word.

[It has been some time since Train running into a cat, and when he sees Kuro, which he finds interesting, he quickly runs into him.]

Woah! You sure are an unusual looking cat!

['Hey I'm not that unusual looking!' Just slightly unusual. Unless Train can understand him Kuro just sounds like a very fussy cat at his comment.]

[Well, Train isn't a demon or anything, so he can't hear what Kuro said.. But he loves cat, might want to take a walk with Kuro for a while.]

Say, little friend, want to go out with me? I'll fetch some milk and find a good spot!
