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? ]

[Definitely sounds like a cat, and another cat stuck up the tree. Being a good, upstanding citizen that she is, Yukiko Amagi approaches said tree and...looks up.]

Hello, kitty...?

[tarotcards]

[ and when yukiko looks up, she'll just see these two dumb kids sitting up in the tree. souji just waves ]

Nya.

[burningblossoms]

[...]

Souji. Honoka.

[tarotcards]

[ another wave ]

Yukiko-sanyan.

[burningblossoms]

[She...takes a half step back.]

why...?

[tarotcards]

We're stuck. We need help kitten down.

[ "getting" down ]

[burningblossoms]

How did you get up there in the first place...?

[tarotcards]

Climbing purractise.

[ ... yeah ]

[burningblossoms]

Uh...huh.

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

[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... ]

[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... ]

[korekara]

[ Honoka grabs his arm and snrks. ]

No. Wait.

Mewkiko-snyan.

[ please

stop them ]

[tarotcards]

[ a nod and then staring back at yukiko ]

Mewkiko-snyan.

[korekara]

[ Honoka paws at the air. ]

Nyaaaaaaaaaaan.

[burningblossoms]

[!]

...Honoka why are you up a tree pretending to be a cat?

[korekara]

'cause we're stuck!

[ a beat. ]

Uh, nya.

[ nailed it. ]

[burningblossoms]

You're stuck.

[...]

Do I need to go get a ladder, or would you like more alone time...?

[korekara]

Oh! A ladder definyately a ladder!

[ is she even conciously meowing at Yukiko anymore or is this some bizarre verbal tic now

it is a mystery ]

[burningblossoms]

...if you're sure. I mean, I wouldn't want to interrupt...

[This is weird. This is...really freaking bizarre. But she takes a step backwards and looks for the groundskeeper's place.]

[korekara]

Thaaaank meeeeeew!

[ just leave her in the tree, Yukiko. It's what she deserves. ]

[burningblossoms]

[Deserve or not...Yukiko acquires a ladder and returns, putting it up so these nerds can come down.]

...why the cat noises though.

[korekara]

Well, people rescue cats from trees, don't they? It seemed like a good idea at the time!

[ sssllllooowwwly scooting over to the latter like she's expecting the branch to snap under her. You might be waiting for a little while. ]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko will soldier on and wait. She did go on a date with you, Honoka, and it wasn't a total disaster. She will at least wait for you to get down from a tree.

That isn't to say she hasn't noticed.]

You know if you fall I'll catch you, right? You'll be okay.

[korekara]

... Yeah. I know I-- hold on-- I just--

[ she r e a c h e s with her foot and completely fails to reach the first rung of the ladder, so she has to scoot a few more inches across the branch. ]

I'd rather. Not. Fall. Y'know?

[ oookayyy time to try and ease herself onto the ladder... ]
