[open/mingle] in which cats reign

[espansivo]

WHO: pretty much anyone, leo, and like twelve cats
WHERE: park
WHEN: 20th-22nd
WHAT: a three day cat concert..! it's just a log about cats (for cats by cats)
WARNINGS: n/a

i.
[the cats are always out and about to greet people before it's time to begin, cute colorful ribbons tied around their neck or tail (depending on which was easiest, frankly), and they... are not actually shy of human contact despite being strays one might's seen around the city.

they will beg for food though. give them food. they will literally mob people if they see them with food, meowing and pleading and getting underfoot. stealing things from picnics and the like as well.]

ii.
[the actual concert performances are conducted by leo and

honestly they sounds like a bunch of cats singing sound.

there is a certain cadence to it that's actually songlike, the cats are actually singing to what leo is playing on his keyboard and they're sitting very nicely on the steps he's got for them too, but their attention spans aren't good enough for performances and, without fail, at some point of time they start to just... wander off... sitting in people's laps or rolling on the ground without a care.

the conductor doesn't seem to mind and just gestures for people to take their places, which can be your character or some npc, and yes he will bean cat treats at whoever is singing as "rewards". complain if you want or try and catch them, laugh at your friends or encourage them to go up and try!!]

iii.
[otherwise, there's apparently plenty to do..! leo has makeshift profiles of all the cats next to their resting spots (the big sign drawing anyone to it says star hall despite there not being a hall in the middle of the park and they're apparently all up for adoption... with papers to show their vaccinations and the like.

there's toys! there's treats! there's a space dubbed the "sleeping corner" where you can curl up with the cats and doze in the afternoon sun! it's a paradise!

play with the cats and enjoy the company of them, they're all named after different flowers and are all kinds of colors and personalities! it's really just a log about cats in the end.]

D-Don't point at him like that?!

[ grabs her arm and puts it down!!! god. leo probably didn't see that. hopefully. the last thing sena wants is for anyone else to know that he's... interested. ugh. ]

And no thanks. It's not that I appreciate it, but I don't think that guy could take on Christian and make it out alive.

[ christian's like. Large. there's no way leo can take him on, even if he looks like he'd know how to rumble. ]

And besides, it's nothing like that. We just came from the same world in our memories, so of course I'd need to know more about him. [ then he lowers his voice, ] We used to be close, actually.

Whaaaaaat? I didn't say he'd beat him up or anything! Just a stern talking to!!!

[ She purses her lips, squinting at the other. No, what she is witnessing is totally, most definitely, a deflection of the topic at hand. It's in her nature to want to dig her nose right into this issue, but she guesses it's more complicated than she originally thought when he brings up the sharing a world thing. ]

But I guess you don't have a choice but to be connected with him if it's like that, huh... it's kinda like fate! [ In a way that's kind of romantic, in her opinion. Not that she feels that way towards the person she thinks she shares a world with too, not at all. ] I mean, like, were you guys a thing in your other world? That would be so weird...

[ welp, that's making him turn redder than ever. just like the color of the paintbrush that he'll have next month. even if sena's not a believer of destiny and all that precognitive crap, the cogs turn in his head as he mulls it over. the fact that leo had appeared in his life again, even if he'd become a wholly different person because of some overwrite zee had told him... that should mean something, right?

but er-hem, he clears his throat, brushes that shit under the rug. ]

It's hardly fate if our existences all under some app's control. I wouldn't want to call it that. [ but uh - ] What do you mean weird? You find it odd that we're complete opposites or something? Just because you and your guy are basically the same...

[lifespanned]

[ The blush, the embarrassed, rushed dialogue... yeah, she's definitely on to something. And she's smug about it too, with the way she smiles and puts her chin up, still idly petting the cat in her hands. ]

See, this just goes to show you how naive you are about love~ the reason why Christian and I work together is because we're so different! You can tell just by looking at us.

[ The height difference, the wildly different occupations, the fact that he loved being around children and she would sooner burn her wardrobe than have one of her own... it just all adds up. ]

Which is probably why you have such a thing for that guy, and why he has such a thing for you - because you're opposites! I only said it would be weird because it just sounds like a fairytale. To fall in love with someone all over again in another lifetime... it's like a dream.

[ press f to pay respects to christian ]

[adoringpast]

[ just. makes a face at that. you can tell that sena's not really the romantic kind. ]

That's sucks, when you think about it. What if you want to fall for someone else, huh? I don't want to be held down by some guy you think you'd know so much about him just because you've seen him in his memories, but in the end you're just nothing but strangers to each other.

[ it's getting way too personal though, and it's making sena shift uncomfortably in his seat. ]

He's not that bad of a guy though, I'd have to admit. [ shrug ] Still too annoying for my taste, but I can deal.
