[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!]

Who cares about me? You focus on breathing.

Don't say that. [oh he feels light headed.] I swear it, I will be fine...
bowtiedbones: (9)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-30 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
You'll be more fine inside. Come on, we'll get you some water.
brokenlance: (an ache)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-07-30 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Huffs weakly... he has no choice but to allow himself to be helped. What he lets himself say is,]

Thank you... you're very kind.

[What he thinks about is,

THE VOICES OF THE DEAD

THE VOICES OF THE DEAD

THE VOICES OF THE DEAD

[please sir she's just a paleontology nerd]

It's no trouble. Does it feel like the kind of cough that's better with cold water or water? The cafeteria should have something either way... I found the Nurse's office the other day, but it's locked.
brokenlance: (feverish)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-07-30 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[don't worry about it please go on and study your tasmanian tigers]

Any kind of water will do, I think...

[Figures that the Nurse's office is locked!]

[steering this poor boy inside and to the cafeteria]

You sit and stay calm. I'll get you something to drink.

[with a delay to wipe water off the floor when she inevitably accidentally spills some tripping on nothing, but she'lll return with an ice water AND hot water AND a cheap tea bag]
brokenlance: (passed out zzz)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-07-31 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Calm. Yes. He's calm.

Calm.

Everything will be okay.

He's just going to lay his head against the table for bit. The surface is nice and cool.

He's definitely not thinking about the faces of his dead family and friends, forever carved into expressions of rage, horror and regret when she comes back.

...looks up and blinks.]

Oh... you brought both.
bowtiedbones: (9)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-31 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn’t sure which to get. But it’s just water, so why not both.
brokenlance: (hopeful)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-07-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's considerate of you. Is this ...tea?

[He's never seen a tea bag before, but up close he realizes those are dried leaves in the satchel]
bowtiedbones: (32)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-08-01 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's orange pekoe. You just steep it in the bag, no straining required.
brokenlance: (surprised blush)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-08-01 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[did you know teabags only started in 1908. amazing

anyways congrats on distracting him from his inner demons because of modern inovations(tm)]

Incredible. It looks extremely convenient...

[gonna put it in the hot water. it smells... i mean this is the cheap stuff so probably not the most aromatic thing in the world]
bowtiedbones: (27)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-08-01 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's super convenient. I like putting them in hot cocoa sometimes to add some extra flavor.
brokenlance: (pleased)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-08-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[letting it steep...]

Cocoa and tea, together? I can't imagine it.

But from the way you speak, it must be quite nice.
bowtiedbones: (95)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-08-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
It works! Tea can be floral right? And you don't really taste the bitterness, since chocolate can be bitter and cocoa's so sweet, so you just get those nice floral notes.
brokenlance: (softly glad)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-08-01 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[he smiles, and he nods.

he remembers enjoying hot cocoa as a child, on those cold bitter nights. coming in from the snow and having a sweet drink to warm his bones. those were precious memories.

he hasn't been able to taste anything for four years. but he'll let that memory try and carry him through the task of imagining what sweet and floral might taste like. so he can pretend to look forward to trying it himself one day.]

I see. [ kaff ] It makes sense!

[azure blows on the cup to cool it down, before taking a sip. it tastes like nothing.]
bowtiedbones: (79)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-08-01 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[smiles back at him, it's great he's feeling better!!]

I also like mixing tea and orange juice, but that's a harder sell to people for some reason.
brokenlance: (thinky)

[personal profile] brokenlance 2025-08-01 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ 🙃 ]

I suppose the idea of hot juice must be off putting to them...
bowtiedbones: (64)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-08-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
It could be cold too! Iced tea is a thing.

[she usually just mixes the two together at a continental breakfast or somewhere and has it warm, fast fruit and fast caffeine, but! in theory!]
