Cat Spirit 23! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[With ~spooky~ changes comes ~spooky~ behavior. Well, not really. This sort of hunting is par for the course with Tao.

All throughout today, there will be a catgirl here or there. There will be a catgirl anywhere, all over the village, trying to put her boundless energy to use. It's the thrill of the hunt! And her prey? ...Rats! And bats. And the occasional spider.

Because what better person/animal to take care of the rat problem than her? She's got to put those beastkin instincts to use sometime. Tao can be found zipping all over the village, taking off at full speed, running or on all fours, and chasing down rats in particular. Though if bats fly by your head, she'll go for them too. Spiders are fair game as well.

Point is, she's up and about trying to catch/hunt down these critters, and if you're in the way, better get out of it.]

Meow, meow, meow!? You get back heeeeeeeeeere!

[...Try not to get barreled into. Or trampled. Or crashed into. Or accidentally pounced upon.]

[Good thing she's staying out of Tao's way as she chases a bat to and fro. When it settles somewhere, she attempts to sneak up on it, tail swishing and ears twitching.]

[risingshepard]

Hmm. [Well, it's definitely not turian, nor is it batarian or krogan--the last of which would be really off the mark. Shepard trails it carefully, trying not to distract it until the bat goes flying off--

--or maybe she'll wind up scaring it away unintentionally? Who knows.]

[catus_carnival]

[Whether the bat goes flying off of its own accord or is scared off by Tao's teeth, the world will never know. But the bat is flying in Shepard's direction now...with Tao trailing it.]

[risingshepard]

[...Well, it didn't look all that strong, but with how fast it was going, maybe she should try calling out to it instead of just standing there.

Here's hoping it understands sentient speech like most aliens she knows...and hears her, for that matter.]

Shouldn't you slow down a little?

[catus_carnival]

But then it'll get away!

[She does slow down though...a teensy bit.]

[risingshepard]

It's either that or you wind up bowling someone over while you go after it.

[...Wait, why is she still standing here? Time to try and get out of the way...unless that 'teensy bit' isn't very much at all...]

[catus_carnival]

[Unfortunately, that's the case. And there is a possible incoming collision in 3...2...]

[risingshepard]

[...1! And then they were both on the pavement. Whoops.]

[catus_carnival]

[Whoops indeed. Tao is, understandably, dazed (though now we can quite clearly say that was entirely her fault) and mewing a little.]

[risingshepard]

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh. Why, Tao, why...] ...Did anyone get the number of that Collector Ship...?

[...It seems like non-sequiturs are the order of the day.]

[catus_carnival]

Ship? What ship?

[That's not the sort of thing you just ask, Tao! Who knows how many fandoms have been torn apart because of ships? She makes an attempt to roll off of Shepard...key word being "attempt".]

[risingshepard]

[BUT ISN'T THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION OBVIOUS???

...Yeah, shaking her head to throw off the sudden onset of dizziness.] Nothing...think I got a little too rattled by that.

[catus_carnival]

Meow too...whoops!

[..."Whoops" indeed.]
