Cat Spirit 19! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Tao is no stranger to plushies. Hell, she made one (very crudely) for Litchi for Christmas. But the difference between Luceti Land plush dolls and well, Tao's, is the rather huge quality difference.

The Kaka kitten plushie they have as a prize for one of those almost looks...

...real. (By Tao standards.)

This means she gets the wrong idea.]

Don't worry little one! Tao will set you free!

[As a result, Tao is at a Luceti land game booth, throwing angrily like her life depended on it, and generally making a ruckus. These small baseballs are LAME. She prefers her regular ones. They hit things (like people) better.]

Comments

so late, hope you don't mind!

[Leon's back from the draft, and just as planned, he had gone off to the amusement park with Claude to enjoy it while it was still around. Right now, he's off looking around the booths again when he happens across someone angrily throwing baseballs.]

...Uh. Easy there.

[Man, was she taller than him? What the heck?]

s'all good /o/

[catus_carnival]

[Yeeeep. And cat-like to boot. Headtilt.]

Huh?

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

I think you're sacrificing aim for power there. [He notes the amount of baseballs littering the inside of the game booth.]

[catus_carnival]

But that's how Tao usually throws them.

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

It's a little ... haphazard, don't you think? [He points at the game booth.] You were trying to win something today, right?

[catus_carnival]

Yeah! That!

[Pointing at a Kaka kitten plushie which...she thinks is real.]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[He blinks as she points at the plushie, glancing back at her to confirm the similarity.]

Is that supposed to be you?

[catus_carnival]

It's one of the little ones!

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Little ones...? [He had kinda heard about Tao's clan, but...] But it's a stuffed toy.

[catus_carnival]

...

...It is?

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

It's not moving or talking.

[catus_carnival]

...

[SADFACE.]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[And he blinks several times at this instant turnaround.]

What's wrong?

[catus_carnival]

...I thought it was a real kitten, meow.

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Oh. [...Geez.] But this is a good thing, right? This means the kitten's not, uh, hanging from a hook in a game stand.

[catus_carnival]

...Tao's gonna get it anyway, then!

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

I guess that's ... good? [It's better than moping about it not being a real kitten.] You weren't kidding when you said you all look alike.

[catus_carnival]

Uh-huh. But sometimes, their tails and clothes are different, meow!

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[Only sometimes?] Is there a reason most of you wear the same clothes?

[catus_carnival]

If there is, I don't know it. But it's nice and comfy!

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

They sure make your arms look long, though... [His attention is drawn away slightly as the droid restocks its prize collection, hanging up another Kaka cat plushie and other toys.]

[catus_carnival]

But that's where our claws are too, meow.

[and as if to make a point, she holds a paw out, fingertips up, and unsheathes the claws she has in her sleeve things, then retracts them.]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[...

And he'll just stare at where those claws used to be. Because he hadn't expected that ... though he distantly thinks he probably should have.]

[catus_carnival]

[Stares back.]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[... ... ...]

The teeth, the claws, the tail... [He just. Keeps thinking about the Lesser Fellpools.] Do you have claws on your feet and fur, too?
