[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'd be surprised. I've been told I'm annoying guy to deal with sometimes.

[ordimame]

[small quirk of his brow]

. . . I can see why. . . that doesn't take a hit on your self-confidence?

[chapter6spoilers]

[a genuine look of confusion. heightened by another cat climbing on his head]

Not really. . .? Can't help what people think. I'd rather give them some space and let them come around if they decide to. If not, well. Can't win over everyone. It's my fault for being a bit off putting, I suppose.

[ordimame]

[damn. to have that level of perfect serenity with oneself must be nice]

I don't think you're off-putting. A little strange, but aren't we all?

[chapter6spoilers]

[thanks it's the depression]

Aha, it's true. Rather than strange though, I'd call you all. . .unique. It's refreshing.

[ordimame]

[THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER WE WERE LOOKING FOR]

"Refreshing?" That's one way to put it. [a pause] Do you remember anything about the friends you had back home?

[chapter6spoilers]

Back home? [said as if there should be another option,]

Hm...not really, most of it's pretty vague and patchy. Like, I knew of classmates and such, but I missed a lot of school due to traveling around. I'd bring back pictures or souvenirs if someone asked, but no one in particular stands out.

[ordimame]

[. . . IS THERE ANOTHER OPTION?? nts put a pin in that for later]

[for now. traveling! that's one thing they have in common. he perks up]

Do you remember the places you used to visit?

[chapter6spoilers]

Now those are still plenty vivid. I've been all around Europe, the Americas, Australia. . .and lots of places back home of course. Sometimes the best scenery is in your own country.

Never got a chance to go on a proper safari though--that's been on my list for a while.

[ordimame]

[A SAFARI. . . LIKE WHAT RICH PEOPLE DO??]

I've done Europe and America. . . but not Australia yet. Though that's on my list.

What was our favorite place to visit?

[chapter6spoilers]

[i just checked and he has in fact not done a proper safari but went to the savannas to help cure disease. rich people shit indeed,]

Hmm. . .tie between a tour of Northern Europe and this small town in South America. The landscapes in Europe are breathtaking, but in that small town, you could get almost anything you ever wanted. Well, for the right price. And a bit of risk.

I think the thrill is what put it over the top for me.

[ordimame]

[. . . buddy]

That sounds pretty sketchy, actually. . . are you sure you should be getting involved in things like that at your age?

[not that Puck is one to talk but Macchi don't know that!!]

[chapter6spoilers]

No idea what you're talking about. There's no record of such things as long as you don't get caught.

[as he should KNOW]

[ordimame]

[as he DOES know, but that just makes him SIDE-EYE EVEN MORE]

Push your luck too much, and you will get caught. You know that, right?
