Cat Spirit 20! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Pisces:
"The stars say shut up."
"Your next Career: Ventriloquist."
"Romance is very definitely in the air...wait, that's doughnuts."
"You're not a cannibal, you're just curious."

For the rest of the week, Tao is carrying about some type of Kaka kitten doll with a movable mouth. Instead of her usual toothy smile, she won't visibly have a mouth. This makes her ventriloquist job kind of easy, because her real face is obscured all the time anyway.]

Tao doesn't know what a "ven-trill-o-kwist" is, but it's still fun for meow!

[Oh, and she's in the square all week practicing her ventriloquism, with her higher pitched voice and stuffing donuts in the doll's mouth (as well as her own, of course). Later in the week, she will attempt to placate the hankering for flesh she has with those donuts. Oh dear.]

I think that's what "ven-trill-o-kwy" is about, meow.

[Action]

[talontrot]

Sounds stupid! I'd rather keep my mouth on me.

[And most people would rather Kazooie keep her mouth on her, too. It's bad enough when it is.]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Shrug.]

Tao too, but it's not that bad.

[Action]

[talontrot]

I guess you could have some fun with it though. You could put your mouth right in food and have all you want to eat!

[Or she could do all sorts of other things! Clearly this isn't a terrible idea of anything.]

Is this part of those dumb horoscope-things again?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

What's a 'ho-row-scope' thing?

[Action]

[talontrot]

Those weird... messages the Malnosso-guys put in our journals. They keep making people do dumb stuff and they're insulting everybody!

I'd throw my journal at 'em, but the barrier gets in the way.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Meow, that sounds awful!

[...says the one that suddenly took on ventriloquism because of them.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

That's 'cause the Malnosso-guys are awful. Awfully stupid! [Her tone is challenging, like she expects the Malnosso to come out of the woodwork just to be offended.]

Anyway, they keep making us do weird things, so I guess this isn't even the worst.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

It's been okay for meow so far.

[Headtilt. And her doll headtilts too. Considering what everyone else got, this isn't too bad.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

Well, is this the only weird thing you got? "Sit outside with your mouth-on-your-hand, eating doughnuts"?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[In response, she pulls out her journal and shows her horoscopes to Kazooie, while taking another bite out of a donut.

The cannibal one might be a bit alarming.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

[The first nearly makes Kazooie laugh right there, but the rest...

... Yeah, especially the last one.]

... Uhh...

... Yours' are pretty, uh, weird. And kinda creepy on that last one there...

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[She reads the last one.]

But Tao doesn't know what a "canni-bull" is.

[Action]

[talontrot]

It's when you eat others that're the same kind of thing you are. It's... messed-up.

[And now Kazooie is side-eyeing Taokaka and the possibility of her eating a cat or something.]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

That's gross, meow!

[SHE WOULD NEVER TRY TO EAT ONE OF HER PRECIOUS DARLING CAT-KIND. Birds are another story.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

It is, and only really gross people would ever do it!

... Still, I dunno about these weird horoscope things...

[She shrugs a little, awkwardly. At least she's not a cat!]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Tao doesn't know either.

[She shrugs a little too, taking another bite of the donut.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

... Think they're just lying or something? [Not that Kazooie wants to think otherwise, but...]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

If they're lying, that's a bad thing to do!

[...Says the one sitting there as a ventriloquist while eating donuts.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

[Kazooie is trying not to focus on this!]

Well, either they're lying or all those dumb horoscope-things are gonna come true...

[catus_carnival]

Does this mean Tao's gonna eat someone?!

[she likes eating, but people are usually not involved in her diet. It DOES happen, though.]

[talontrot]

I sure as heck hope not! [Tao, why do you eat people? Why do you even suggest eating people...?]

Just... keep eatin' the doughnuts, if you gotta eat anything!

[catus_carnival]

Okay! These donuts are tasty anyway, [biting off another piece] meow.

[talontrot]

[... Definitely better than the alternative.]

... What kinda doughnuts are you even eating?

[catus_carnival]

Chocolate.

[She pulls out a fresh donut from...video game hammerspace, offering it to Kazooie.]
