Cat Spirit 3! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're interested in that sort of thing) for Luceti, Taokaka is bored. And when she's bored, weeeeeeeird stuff happens. Like stalking. And hanging around. Except Tao doesn't  do regular stalking. She does extreme stalking and hiding. Residents may or may not find a catgirl randomly in their house. In their rooms, bathtub, outside their window, the ceiling, even in the closet! No space too dark, and no ceiling too low. Well, she's not going on the roof or in trees because of the rain, but shhhhh. Though she may just hang out in people's closets to let her dark face blend in, giving a scare.

If you ask what she was doing there in the first place, chances are that she forgot. Where is she now? Who knows.]

[And when that moment's up? Well, you might want to cover dem ears, Tao, because she's going to let out a short, piercing scream before scrambling backwards.]

W-What...?

[catus_carnival]

Hi, meow!

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

...Hello?

How on Earth did you get in there!?

[catus_carnival]

Tao was trying to get out of the rain.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

That still doesn't explain how but... Tao? Is that your name?

[catus_carnival]

Yep! Tao is Taokaka!

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

OK... I'm Tsubaki Yayoi, and it's nice to meet you, Taokaka, but you can't just invade people's homes without asking first. You gave me quite a scare, actually.

[...] Though it is rather miserable weather. I'd have let you in if you'd knocked, you know.

[catus_carnival]

Okay, Pink Lady!

[and now getting out of the closet so you can see her fully.]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

...Pink Lady? I just told you my name...

[Now staring. But only for a moment; she doesn't want to be rude.]

So were you on your way somewhere when it started raining? Do you have a place to go home to?

[catus_carnival]

I live with Boobie Lady and Tail Lady, but it's boring with nothing to do there.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

Uh... I'm suddenly not so concerned about my nickname anymore.

And I'm afraid there isn't much to do around here either. A friend of mine is resting in the next room so you'll have be fairly quiet so as not to wake her... [Though Tsubaki's own scream may have already done the trick.]

[catus_carnival]

Okay...

What are you doing neow then, Pink Lady?

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

I was just going to read for a while. I've brought back a fair few books from the library, so you're welcome to pick something out?

[catus_carnival]

[cautiously takes a book...and is trying to read it. It's upside down. Does anything tell Tsubaki she's not the brightest catgirl yet?]

Are the books about "his-to-ree"?

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[She didn't want to make any assumptions, but at this point the verdict is in.]

Some of them are. The one you're holding - upside down, mind you - happens to be an historical drama.

...Are you interested in history, Tao?

[catus_carnival]

Boobie Lady tries to teach meow about his-to-ree and Kanuzuchi and the No-bugs liberarium but Tao doesn't get it.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

No-bugs liberarium? Wait! You don't mean the Novus Orbis Librarium, do you?

[catus_carnival]

Yeah, that's it! That name is too long. Tao can't say it!

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

That's... quite the coincidence, then. Tao, you're probably from the same world as me. [Or at least this 'Boobie Lady' must be.]

Do you remember the real name of the lady who teaches you?

[catus_carnival]

Lie-chi! She has a clinic in...O-ree-ent Town where she teaches me!

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[Oh, now it makes sense.]

So both you and Miss Litchi are from my world, then. There seem to be quite a lot of us here, actually. Do you know anyone else here who came from the same place? [There has to be some sort of connection...]

[catus_carnival]

Uh...theres...

Good Guy, Lacking Lady, Boobie Lady, Tail Lady, Scruffy Man, and Gross Guy.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

It'd be a little more helpful if you could tell me their real names, if you know them.

[Though she now knows that Litchi is 'Boobie Lady', and could take a wild guess at who 'Lacking Lady' may be referring to. If Nu and Jin are in there, she can't pick them.]

[catus_carnival]

I dunno Good Guy's name.

Lacking Lady is Gnoell. Boobie Lady is Lie-chi. Tail Lady is Ko-ko-no-ay. Scruffy Man is...Bang. And Gross Guy is...Jin Kee-sah-rah-gee. But Tao doesn't like him very much.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

I see.

[...And as for 'Gross Guy'?] Why's that, Tao? [Not that she blames you.]
