Cat Spirit 18! [Voice/Action]

[Voice]

[Today is a special day. No, she doesn't know about Tanabata. But she feels that she must show her love and affection for someone today in the only way she knows how besides groping.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOOBIE LADY!

[Yelling over the journals, of course.]

[Action]

[After that announcement, she will be at the grocery. Glaring intensely at some food to the point that she looks like she might hurt herself thinking about it. Wondering which food would make a good present. Because the last time she showed up with a dead fish for a present, it smelled for days.]

A whole village full of cats? [He's intrigued now!] Can you talk there too?

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Uh-huh! All the Kakas can talk.

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

But... if you're from a place full of cats, then where did you get words like— like, um... [Not going to repeat it. Hope has some class. And he would like to give this place the benefit of the doubt... but then again, that could be just plain naivety.]

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Bo-

Uh, Litchi gave us lessons in the village, meow! But the Elder taught us first.

[...nope, never explained.]

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Who's that?

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Litchi is Boobie Lady! And the Elder is the Elder, meow.

[She's so specific. But she's known the elder as...nothing but the elder her entire life.]

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

And she's— she's okay with you calling her that?...

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

...Sometimes.

[...when Litchi's drunk. But shhhhh.]

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

How would someone even— no, nevermind. I don't think I want to know. [Sighs.]

What was your village like?

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

It was really really nice, meow. Except there's not as much sun there as here.

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Was it cold there? I've never even really seen the sun until I got here.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Sometimes. But there was a little hill where the sun was still there, so we made that our napping spot.

How come you didn't see the sun before?

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

[Hope's picturing a hillside covered in cats napping in the sun now... and it is the best thought ever but he won't say that out loud.]

Well, um... it's a little complicated. We didn't really have a sun where I came from. All of our weather and daylight came from something else.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

[Sounds about right. Less cats, but same principle.]

What, meow?

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Well... everything back home came from what we call the fal'Cie. They're... I guess they're a little like the Malnosso here. The one that controlled the daylight was named Phoenix. It was kind of like our own Sun.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Did the fal...fal something do spear-a-mints too?

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

[What.]

... spear-a-mints? Um... isn't that a flavour of—?

Oh, wait. Do you mean "experiments"? They... well, not really. They took care of us and gave us everything we needed, but... we were still beneath them.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

...They lived higher up, meow?

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Some of them did. Like Phoenix. It was in the sky... or our version of the sky, anyway.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

So..they lived in the sun and sky. How come they don't fall?

[Kind...of. This doesn't make much sense to her.]

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Well, they didn't live in the Sun. Phoenix was our Sun. And they're powerful enough to stay wherever they are.

Um... the place I come from was a safe place wrapped inside itself, and floated above the rest of the world underneath it. So I guess it's the same kind of thing.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

...So you used to live in a floating bubble?

[This is the only way she gets it.]

{voice}

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I... guess that's a good way of putting it.

{voice}

[catus_carnival]

Wow! That sounds cool, meow!
