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.]

They've always noticed when Tao took food!

[...It was only a few incidents okay.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Then don't always take food--if they're too busy worrying about their food, they probably won't care about any of their other shiny stuff being taken.

[That's clearly the answer here right...]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Oh...like a distraction, meow?

[crow no

tao no]

[action]

[tomodachi]

[I think you mean "crow yes" or "tao yes" as he nods]

Yeah, exactly! Sometimes even pirates have to resort to distractions before they can get what they want!

[action]

[catus_carnival]

That sounds hard...but Tao's a lot better at distracting people!

[Granted, she's not all too stealthy about stealing...but distracting is a-okay. (It helps that her entire existence distracts people.) What even.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Yeah, I bet...I'm pretty good at both, but I suppose it could work if you did the distracting, and I could do the taking. You know, like...what's the word for it again?

[Crow the word you're looking for is "teamwork"...and Crow that's probably bad to be roping other people into your carefree life of crime... 8|]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Like...working together!

[...close enough.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

[Close enough!]

Yeah, that! Next time it might work out better if things are done that way.

[action]

[catus_carnival]

[She nods enthusiastically.]

That's right!

...

...

...When's 'next time'?

[action]

[tomodachi]

[Uh...]

It's when we find something shiny that we want to take, of course. [Yeah!]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

All right! Tao's gonna keep that in mind!

[and forget it a few seconds later but...it's the thought that counts.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Good! Don't forget it!

[But he'll possibly momentarily forget having her be a distraction later if there ever is a next time haha BUT IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

You got it, Upside-Down Guy!

[DAMN RIGHT]

[action]

[tomodachi]

[aww man she's still calling us that isn't she]

It's Crow, not "Upside-Down Guy", remember?

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Crow...like a bird, meow.

[It looks like she's trying to remember it...]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Yeah, that's right! [Yes good--he did name himself after the bird, after all.] As long as you remember the bird, it's easy to remember the name!

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Then Tao should call you Bird Guy!

[action]

[tomodachi]

What? [That's...a step in the right direction, but--] But "Crow" is a better name than "Bird Guy"...

[action]

[catus_carnival]

They're the same thing, meow.

[In her mind, it makes a modicum of sense. She waves a paw dismissively.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Not really. [>_>]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Crows are birds, and go flappy-flap and caw-caw. Same thing, meow.

["Does Crow go flappy-flap?" is what she's wondering right now.]

[action]

[tomodachi]

Yeah, but I don't go "caw caw" or anything weird like that for no reason...

[Though we are curious to know if we can go "flappy-flap" and jump off buildings soon to see if that would work...]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

So why are you named after a bird, then?

[action]

[tomodachi]

[.............]

Because "Crow" is a cool pirate-like name to have, obviously.

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Meow? How's that bird name related to being a pirate?

[They're not parrots, that's for sure...]
