sevenhorrors | [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!]

You don't think you all gave in a little too quickly. . .?

[politely stepping away as one tries to rub against him]

I know who has all the power and its the cats.

Well, they certainly have me cornered.

How do they feel?

Fine! They ain't hurtin' me none.

You do seem to be having a good time. If it was just one it'd be fine but this is a bit overwhelming.

Enh, reminds me of bein' home bringin' snacks for the cubs.

Ah? You all call the kids "cubs"? I guess that'd make sense. They do tend to crawl all over you.

Well, hyena kids are cubs. So it is what m'used to sayin', yeah. And they do crawl all over me. With their grabby lil' hands.

Sounds familiar. . .it's a little harder for me to see these cats that way though. Kids are. Hm--they're special.

Yeh. These lil' ones are less greedy. But less cute too.

. . .

You've certainly made a good case for them.

[sighs!!! kneeling

the number of cats doubles]

I do.

..if we're nice now we might be able to ask favors later.

A favor? I've come across a lot of cats, and they're cute, but you can't really rely on them that way, can you?

[gonna tentatively let one bump the back his hand. oh it's furry

thats somehow more fucked up]

I regularly bribe my teacher's cat to help me look better to my teacher.

How do you bribe a cat?

High quality tuna. Lettin' them outside.

Oh, I mean, do the cats know they're being bribed?

Yeh? I work out the details before I give 'em stuff. Luc and I got a process. I give 'em what they want, then we stage incidents where I save 'em. Then Trein is all oohhhh my baby my sweetest ya protected my angel!
