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? ]

Nya....

[ this first nya is done in a high pitched squicky voice, while this second nyan sounds like a cat is dying ]

Nyannnn.

[momentaryspring]

[ Wtf? Was that even...

Ryoga reached for one of the larger branches on the tree and shook it experimentally. ]

[korekara]

[ SCREECH ]

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

[tarotcards]

[ oh my god, his ears ]

Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooo

[ gotta keep in character, okay ]

[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]

Nya-no.

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

We're stuck.

[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]

[ 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

[korekara]

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW HIGH UP WE ARE?!

[ her voice actually cracks. Jesus Christ, Honoka. ]

[tarotcards]

[ why are you like this, honoka? souji actually winces because oh my god ]

My ears... nya...

[momentaryspring]

Wait... you're that girl from the bakery, aren't you? Uh... Homura Bakery?

[ Ryoga stood at the base of the tree and held out both arms. ]

All right, then you jump down. I'll catch you.

[korekara]

[ in a voice of hoarse terror: ]

Do you want me to die.

[tarotcards]

[ a small whisper ]

How dare nya......

[momentaryspring]

You're not going to die. Anyway, it's better than staying up there and starving, isn't it?

[ Why is there still meowing ]

[tarotcards]

Mewbe, but we have a stick of jerky to keep us going at least.

[ jerky with a side helping of lint :9 ]

[momentaryspring]

[ Ugh. Jerky? For real? ]

You're going to force a girl to eat your meat? Disgusting.

[korekara]

[ muffled sniggering. ]

Yeah, Souji, you can't just force your meat on a girl like that.

[ she snorts. it's incredibly attractive. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji maintains a straight face, but there's this look in his eyes that clearly say that he's trying not to smile. ]

But I thought all "kitties" liked meat.

[ emphasis on kitties because he can't say pussy out loud, okay ]

[momentaryspring]

[ Hmm. If they had time enough to joke, these individuals were in no real danger. And he was pretty sure the guy was the one he'd caught eating spam out of a can or maybe that was the other twin he really couldn't tell. ]

So what's your plan? Calling the fire department? Your rescue may end up on the internet; is your agency all right with that?

[ Cat guy probably didn't have an agency. ]

[korekara]

What, like they're gonna get mad at me 'cause I got stuck in a tree? S'not like you can make a scandal out of that unless you wanna accuse me of taking tree hugging too far.

[ She's stuck in a tree with a boy, yes, but she doubts anyone will be clutching their pearls particularly hard given that all they've done is sit around and meow at passers-by. ]

If anything, it'll be great publicity!

[ let her dream. ]

[tarotcards]

[ they are definitely not in any serious danger. they're just dumb kids ]

She might even get sponsorships from cat-related businesses for her splendid tree climbing and meowing.

I'd sponsor her, nya.
