Cat Spirit 23! [Action]

[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.]

[Oh my, would you look at that. Not only is there a paladin walking around the plaza, but there's a bat stuck in his pretty hair, trying to get away! He's doing his very best to untangle it, but it keeps wriggling and squirming, like the helpless prey it is. What could possibly go wrong with this situation?

...A word of warning, though: those spikes on his pauldrons are pretty sharp.]
paladinlost: (surprised)

[It's a shame he's so busy with the bat, really. Otherwise-]

What the...!?

[-he could have heard her coming before the barreling part, sparing him a crash to the ground.]

[It takes a few seconds for Cecil to realize what's happened, but when he does his voice immediately shows concern.]

...Urk, are you al- Ouch!

[That poor bat, still somehow stuck in his hair after all of that, has finally decided that it's had enough. It's flying away! ...Or at least trying to, and pulling Cecil's hair as it does.]

[Oh hey, it's that one catgirl...

Crow doesn't actually have that much interest in the sudden increase of rats and spiders and things--he saw enough of them back at home anyway, so instead he's actually attempting to spy on Tao once he notices her from where he's sitting on this roof. If Tao even notices during her attempts at chasing the rats right below us, that is.]

[Brook just so happens to be one of those unlucky fellows who happened to be strolling by as Tao came barreling after one such rat. He notices her just in time to think to ask her a question... but not to actually get out of the way.]

Excuse me miss? May I please see your pant-

*WHAM!*

[As Brook is sent tumbling from the collision, he tries to straighten his head back on.]

You know this is a first for me... normally I receive bodily harm after asking that question, not before. Yohohowww...

[tl;dr version: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Long Not-so-long version: So he was just going to head out and look around at all the changes done by the day's shift. Of course, things don't always go as planned...and he is apparently so derped out that he doesn't realize he's in the path of a catgirl.

So that will probably lead to him getting pounced on if she doesn't take notice...and knowing Tao...um. Whoops...?

Please don't scratch him too badly.]

[Well, this was new.

Not that she hadn't seen any aliens before, but catgirls weren't amongst the many races she'd known from her universe...so this new creature seemed to ping to Shepard's natural, overbearing curiosity about alien things that weren't Reapers. It gets her to stop in her tracks and turn to have a better look, making sure to stay out of her way.

Maybe if she watched it a little, she could figure out what kind of sentient life it most closely resembles...]

[Ow ow ow this is really not helping, if anything the bat is fighting twice as hard to get out.]

Please be careful, we'd not want it to attack!

No, no, I've been here longer than they have. Also I'm terrified of spiders.

[And now he seems to be sipping tea out of nowhere.]

What about you? Are you a cat?

... [Siiiip.]

[Sweet oxygen, come to his lungs once more! (Not that Tao is that heavy, but still.) He sits up slowly, almost helped by the bat's efforts.]

There are plenty of them flying about at the moment. Surely you can afford to let one go?

What is a Kaka? ... And please don't simply answer that you are a Kaka, because I think that's fairly established now. Yohohoho!

Well you see, it's just that I've had this sort of thing happen to me before when meeting a new friend, so I figured I would simply get that out of the way before it became an issue.
tomodachi: (you humans are so typical...)

[Oh, a bat. Not quite as cool as crows. He swipes a hand at it to keep from flying too close to his face or anything--but now he's temporarily distracted and might not see Tao coming right away to try to pounce that bat herself.

Potential collision in 3...2...]
