[early morning cat posting]

[sevenhorrorsmods]

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!]

[praiseful]

It's okay if you liked how our hands touched, you know.~ Totally understandable. I'm me, after all!

[ Not an ounce of shame to be found this time around, compared to the other times she's had to hold someone's hand. Probably because Ena is a cute girl! ]

[selfportraiture]

H-ha?!

What are you saying?! That's not how it is at all!

[This is far too much for Ena. Tsun entirely activated.]

[praiseful]

Strong and cute, remember!?

[ SHE FLIPS HER HAIR!! ]

[selfportraiture]

What does that have to do with anything?!

[aaaaaaaaa]

Don't get it twisted! It's not like I liked it.

[praiseful]

[ And just like that— ]

—And why not!?

[selfportraiture]

Ha?! Because I barely know you?

[praiseful]

And whose fault is that?

[ teasingly. Wow, she just can't seem to stop teasing people, huh... Not weird at all! ]

[selfportraiture]

Wha--huh?

[That... throws her off so bad. She blinks.]

... Are you hitting on me?

[praiseful]

[ ....... wait

Is she? It's likely that she doesn't even realize. ]

M-Maybe I am! If I was, that would be really lucky for you, you know!?

[selfportraiture]

[...?!?!?!?!]

I--what?

[Is... was that just a "yes"? Hang on, Ena wasn't expecting a yes. Now she's flustered. Her face is a little red despite herself.]

W-well then, you aren't doing a very good job of it...!

[praiseful]

[ Nei... not doing a good job of something!? This simply cannot be. ]

T-Then I'm not trying to hit on you! Obviously!

[ IF SHE CAN'T BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THEN SHE DIDN'T DO IT. Take backsies.

Even though... she sure feels a need to redeem herself, or at least do something with her hands? In fact, it feels like she should, or else she might die. What the... The cats seem to agree, as they're now butting their heads against both Nei and Ena, demanding pets! ]

[selfportraiture]

[No take backsies!!!]

You can't just--take it back because you're embarrassed your flirting didn't work--

[Anyway, it's Ena's turn for the urge to strike.

This time, she's the one who reaches out to snag Nei's hand.

With a baffled look on her face, and an equally baffled sensation of feeling (alongside embarrassment underneath. And... some being flattered...?)]

[praiseful]

I wasn't flirting!

[ Was she!? Either way, her antics and goading have brought on success, which is that - when Ena's hand finds hers, Nei's fingers seem to just snap around the other girl's, as if she's just been waiting for this. And she can't help but, but— she heaves a sigh of relief. She really felt like she was going to die like that... what the hell?

Ena's feelings, though... Nei's cheeks warm further as she glances away... she ain't the only tsundere around. ]

[selfportraiture]

[Now they're just holding hands so tightly, and Ena's embarrassment spikes as they continue to hold hands, and also as Nei glances away.

Because she's cute?? She's blushing?? Oh my god.]

What--the hell is going on?! Why did I do that? Why am I still--

[Why doesn't she want to let go???]

[praiseful]

[ Of course she's blushing! Isn't it natural for her to be blushing at a time like this...?! She is still just a teenaged girl, after all, no matter how much she tries to pretend otherwise.

...Anyway.

The ghost kitties have suspiciously satisfied looks on their faces...? ]

S-See, this isn't such a big deal! Nothing to get so worked up about!

[ Now she's acting like it's no big deal. ]

[selfportraiture]

[These mood changes are crazy. Ena's emotions settle into a simmered mix of frustration, confusion and a little bit of amusement despite herself.]

What, now you're changing your mind again?

[Huh......]

Are you surprisingly shy, Rin-chan?

[praiseful]

[ It's probably a blessing that Nei didn't end up on Shiawase. Imagine getting these mood changes beamed directly to you— ]

Excuse me!? Do I seem like a shy type!? Absolutely not!

[selfportraiture]

Well, I didn't think so until just now.

[Amusement, getting stronger.]

But it seems like actually, you are.

[praiseful]

[ The amusement... ]

Are you... mocking me!?

[ HOLDS HER HAND TIGHTER!! ]

[selfportraiture]

"Mocking"--what, no! That's harsh, jeeze.

[Her hand is... captive... Ena arches an eyebrow at that, but isn't trying to pull back.]

I'm just teasing you a little. I've never seen anyone flip flop between two extremes so fast.

[praiseful]

[ She's being teased........ this cannot be. It's not even the first time since these shenanigans started that someone has told her about sending mixed messages. ]

And is that so bad? It means I'm not boring!

[ sure.. ]

[selfportraiture]

I didn't say it's a bad thing, you know.

[She's being teased!!!]

Are you sensitive, Rin-chan?

[praiseful]

Of course not!!

[ this is exactly what a not-sensitive person would say right ]

[selfportraiture]

[Ena, an extremely sensitive person herself, is Perceiving.

And she giggles, shaking her head.]

You're surprisingly cute and shy, Rin-chan. You shouldn't mind it, though. They're charming traits!

[praiseful]

Hey! Stop calling me shy!!

[ cute, however, is perfectly acceptable ]
