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.]

Maybe you're really good at making songs!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

You really think so?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Uh-huh!

[She even makes her doll nod a bit in agreement.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[That's about when Emil notices the doll.]

Did you make that yourself?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Nope! Tao got this from the shop.

[Somehow.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

That's really neat. I didn't know they even had dolls like that there.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Tao didn't either. It looks just like one of the little ones, too!

[Bite of a donut.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Little ones? You mean the little... um... what were they called again?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Kakas, meow!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Right, kakas. So what are you doing with it, anyway? It kind of looked like you were trying to make it talk...

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

I'm supposed to be a...

[.../checks journal.]

..."ven-trill-o-kwist"!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, right, that's a performer who does an act with a talking puppet. I've read about them before.

... but why are you a ventriloquist?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[That is a very good question.]

...

...

...I dunno! I just felt like it!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Kind of like I just felt like singing. I guess that makes two of us!

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

This is fun, meow!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Hey, maybe we could do an act together!

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Like a show?

[Headtilt. That does sound fun to her...]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. But, um, only if you wanted to do it too.

[catus_carnival]

That's fine with meow!

[knightofratatosk]

Great! Now all we need is a catchy name to make people stop and pay attention to us.

... but I'm not really good at coming up with names.

[catus_carnival]

Hmmm...Tao isn't either, Sleepy Guy.

[As you can see.]

[knightofratatosk]

... my name is Emil. Don't tell me you forgot it already...
