[early morning cat posting]

Who: everyone
When: July 25
Where: class 3-C
What: a few visitors!
Warnings: none!

[On Friday morning at 6:00 a.m. on the dot, the student body is awoken not by the bell, but by the sound of meowing echoing over the intercom.

[It's not just the PA system, either. Soft, gentle, and very cute mewls fill the classroom hallways; distant on floors one and two, but much louder on floor three. Intrepid explorers who follow the noise will find that one of the third floor classrooms has been overtaken by a pack of ghostly cats!]

[Each creature is the size of a normal housecat, and has the mannerisms of one. That is, they will attempt to hop into your lap for some prime cuddling time, ears and tails flicking adorably all the while. Their bodies are a pale, ghostly white, and their eyes glow a soft, gentle blue. Although they are translucent, they are still solid to the touch, and they feel just like a normal cat does. Soft fur and everything! Aren't they precious? Aren't they just so stinkin' cute??? DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO SMOOSH THEIR ROUND LI'L KITTEN FACES??]

[So long as characters are kind to the cat spirits, the Nekomata are completely harmless. They just want to play and snuggle!! Although. . .]

[Anyone who touches a cat spirit will find themselves hit with a sudden need for physical contact. This can range from something small (desiring a high five) to something bigger (needing to CUDDLE THE SHIT outta someone). Being surrounded by more than one Nekomata means the compulsion becomes stronger, too! One cat means it can probably be safely ignored, but five?? If you don't HOLD SOMEONE'S HAND RIGHT THIS SECOND you JUST MAY DIE!!]

[Oh, so you don't like cats? No problem! The Nekomata are mischievous creatures, and they WILL leap onto people's backs and shoulders without warning. Being cat spirits, they can also teleport from one place to another, so. . . you can be minding your own business one second, blink, and then be staring into the eyes of a cute cat spirit perched on your lap the next.]

[The Nekomata will be drawn towards members of Anzen more than anyone else per their target lock curse, but they are excited to shower literally anyone in a bit of cute kitty affection, regardless of their homeroom]

[Please let me know if your character is being violent and/or aggressive towards the Nekomata. Otherwise, enjoy some compulsive physical bonding with a cute ghostly flair!]

Ah...

A headless woman with four heads.

[holds up his hands in fists to show... she carries her heads. by their hair.]

I suppose you could call her a dullahan?

[bowtiedbones]

Wh— I was expecting a bird or something! Or a fish! Are they all her own heads??

[presgarddihellis]

Yes, as far I know. Blonde hair. Red eyes. Same voice. She speaks one word at a time through each head, generally. Sometimes they're carrying things in their mouths.

She takes gold coins for payment.

[bowtiedbones]

What does she spend them on? Do you have to give a paycheck to each head? I just summon a pigeon when I need something delivered!

[presgarddihellis]

I don't really ask her about her business...

But it's one coin per letter, though sometimes I have her do more than just send messages, and that can cost more coins.

[bowtiedbones]

I have no idea if that's cheap or expensive, but still cool.

[presgarddihellis]

She is very cool.

[bowtiedbones]

Do you have any other summons?

[presgarddihellis]

None contracted... technically.

[bowtiedbones]

Buuuut…?

[presgarddihellis]

... spirits tend to be pretty willing to assist me when I ask.

[bowtiedbones]

Well sure, me too if I spend three hours drawing the right array first. You just get favors?

[presgarddihellis]

I do ask politely.

[bowtiedbones]

That’s also cool. You’re pretty powerful, aren’t you!

[presgarddihellis]

[... wait, someone who knows the levels would in fact notice that...]

I seem to be more limited than usual in this place, however.

[bowtiedbones]

Well sure, you and everybody else.

[presgarddihellis]

Well, yes. I don't mean to imply I'm the only one experiencing it.

Just that it's distinctly noticeable.

[... boops a nekomata's nose which makes it meow plaintively.]

Although, they seem to still be able to sense some of it.

[bowtiedbones]

Hmmm~

[she peers at him, but it’s just a peek. her senses aren’t great, her energy doesn’t like overlapping with others’ even when she does have her abilities, and she’s not trying hard anyways. guy’s uncanny, but guy’s worms sometimes, that makes sense.]

I can’t sense anything, but monsters are better at that stuff.

[presgarddihellis]

[he sure is uncanny. probably gonna get more of the sense that this dude is definitely playacting lower-level existence. definitely there is something more to it, but it's a bit obfuscated even without her own energy not liking to engage with it.]

Spirits especially are sensitive to it.

[bowtiedbones]

[demons absorb energy but he doesn’t seem like he needs to…




elf? but he doesn’t have cute ears…]

I’ll have to mind my familiar when she wakes up… The cats like you though, and I like you, so she shouldn’t get too mean.

And she’s like, the size of a chicken.

[presgarddihellis]

[LAUGHS IN LOTM LORE.]

Your familiar's here? Ah. The thing that was left in your dorm?

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah. I got her skeleton back.

[presgarddihellis]

Oh.

Necromancy?

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah! Are you familiar?

[presgarddihellis]

I don't practice it, myself. I have a number of friends on the Corpse Collector Pathway.
