WHO: Souji, Honoka and you poor unfortunate soul
WHERE: Recollé Square
WHEN: 2/21, late afternoon
WHAT: Rescuing cats from trees. or something like that.
WARNINGS: probably none?!? will be edited if needed

[ It's a nice, ordinary day in Recollé Square, isn't it? The weather's passable. Birds are singing. Cats are meowing.

Hold up.

That's right, cats are... meowing? Or that's what it sounds like, anyway. The distinctive nyaaa of a mildly distressed cat seems to be coming from the branches of one of the trees dotted around the park. It's followed by another meow, which suggests the presence of another cat up there. Weird.

Surely you wouldn't have the heart to leave a feline in distress up a tree, would you? ]

[ SCREECH ]

OHHH MY GOD, DON'T DO THAT, I'M GONNA FALL!

[tarotcards]

Climbing purractise.

[ ... yeah ]

[tarotcards]

[ oh my god, his ears ]

Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooo

[ gotta keep in character, okay ]

[burningblossoms]

Uh...huh.

Should I go get a ladder, or do you want more alone time?

[korekara]

They deserve better than loose pocket jerky. With a side of lint.

[ she's shaming you over your treatment of the cats. deep cuts, honoka. ]

[rosettareflected]

[In her free time, Alicia likes to go for walks. It's good to see if anything's new around the city, and lately it's given her time to think about how her life has gotten an order of magnitude more complicated in the last three weeks.

...The sound of cats meowing in the square is, while not particularly unusual, worth investigation. Particularly when there are two different cats in what is not a terribly large tree - meaning they'd have to have gotten stuck up there together? If it came down to it, she could probably work her way up with a combination of athleticism and some kind of martial arts (her mind is calculating the odds of a throw-like maneuver against a somewhat elastic object being able to pull her up instead) but she needs to see if there's even anything actually up there in the first place.]

How curious... Hello, kitties, are you up there?

[One hand shields her eyes as she looks into the tree, searching for kitties. She may miss anything else in the tree at first, given she's searching for cat-sized objects and not humanoids.]

[momentaryspring]

What on earth...

[ The shaking stopped at least. ]

What are you doing up there, and why are you meowing at people? Did someone put you up to this?

[tarotcards]

Well, it's just to lure them. And it normally doesn't have lint.

[ if souji had the power of social links right now, he'd be reversing this right now ]

[tarotcards]

Nya-no.

[ souji needs to shut up right now but he can't ]

We're stuck.

[tarotcards]

A ladder, pawlease. Honyaka-chan doesn't seem to do well with heights.

[ her death grip on his arm is cutting off circulation. he... can't feel anything in this arm anymore... ]

[momentaryspring]

That really doesn't explain the meowing.

[ He leaned a hand against the tree trunk and looked around for a fallen ladder or something. ]

Can't you just climb back down the way you got up in the first place? It's not like you're real cats!

[tarotcards]

[ it's pretty hard to miss two grown teenagers just sitting on the same branch and when alicia looks up and makes eye contact with souji, he just raises his hand and... paws the air ]

Nyan.

[tarotcards]

[ unfortunately, there is no fallen ladder. these two kids climbed it with sheer willpower ]

We were meowing fur help. And we wouldn't be meowing if we could just get down.

[ they... are kind of high up. it's easier to climb a tree than come down when

[rosettareflected]

[Well, that's certainly not wrong - they're not really hard to spot, but it still takes a moment for her mind to process them. But the unmistakable sound is quite similar to the one she heard on approach. Alicia's head tilts in confusion for a moment.]

...nya? Ah, but this seems an odd place to pretend to be a cat. Wouldn't you prefer a ball of yarn or something? Preferably on the ground?

[tarotcards]

That does sound better. Unfurtunately, we've have chosen the wrong activity and have realized it a bit too late.

[ well, the actual reason why they're up here has nothing to do with pretending to be cats but he'll roll with it ]

[burningblossoms]

...Alright. I'll...go get a ladder. Give me a minute to found the groundskeeper.

[tarotcards]

Thank mew. We will wait here.

[ not like he can go anywhere... ]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko's gone for a few minutes before returning with...you guessed it...a ladder!]

Okay guys, here you go!

[Seriously, this is just...wow. What the hell man.]

[tarotcards]

[ their hero!!!! souji just lets her do her thing since, well, he can't really help, so he just continues to pretend to be a cat to keep up the illusion ]

Nyaaaaan.

[ ... don't somehow get stuck in the tree with them, yukiko ]

[burningblossoms]

...Next time I'm going to have to lure you down with tuna, aren't I?

[Weirdos.]

[tarotcards]

It'd definyately be nice to have a treat afterwards, yes.

[ if all is well, souji will try to descend on the ladder now. please hold it still so he doesn't fall ]

[burningblossoms]

You can stop with the verbal tic, you know.

[She will do so. Because she's not evil. But still...]

[tarotcards]

Would nyat be a fury meowvelous cat without it, though.

[ ... he's not going to stop, okay ]

[burningblossoms]

Why...

[Souji...]

Please stop this is weird.

[tarotcards]

Ah...

[ ... did he take it too far? now he just feels kind of bad ]

I'm sorry. I'll stop now.
