Cat Spirit 7! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[As expected, joining the mallynap canonupdate bathtub brigade is (1) Taokaka. One depressed Taokaka. If you've ever wanted to see a depressed Kaka, now's your chance as the journal catches a small glimpse of a wet, dripping Tao face down in someone's filled bathtub.  Ragna's, to be specific. Which looks kinda like she's dead. No bubbles at the surface...oh boy. It's a while of silence before she finally moves around, sloshing water over the sides and just...dictating 'meow's over the journal.]

Meow...meow...meow...

Oh did you?

And what would you have done if he had killed you?

[catus_carnival]

Tao wouldn't be here right neow. That's why cat person had to help meow.

[redstringed]

*And a sigh.* Jubei is wasting his valuable time on people like you.

[catus_carnival]

That's why Tao has to train harder than ever...so Tao can be even stronger than cat person and protect the village.

[redstringed]

You, stronger than the Lotus? What a laughable idea!

[catus_carnival]

[times like this she wishes tora was here but ehn]

Tao said this already, Tao has to try at least, meow!

[redstringed]

Oh, but surely you know how much easier it would be if you just gave up, don't you?

I'm surprised your feeble little mind can even concentrate on a goal for longer than a heartbeat.

[catus_carnival]

[But she can't give up she needs to protect the kittens ;_; holding the weight of their lives in their hands just reminds her how precious they are to her.]

Tao made a promise...so I can't give up, meow.

[redstringed]

Even if your promise assures you an agonizing road full of hardship?

[catus_carnival]

Tao will overcome it for the kittens...

[redstringed]

...you will try. The odds of you succeeding are infinitesimally small.

Though I suppose that wouldn't deter the One-Eyed Lotus, either.
