[network] @Iwillnot; What's a cat to do [open] Day 156

[absentconstellation]

[ Audio ]

[ The Cat has regained his tablet, packed his bag with as much food as it would fit and holed himself up in the house accessible only by a dog house. It seemed appropriate. Now he's assessing what to do next, and as much as it pains him to admit, he needs some advice on that. ]

Where might a particularly small individual do the most good?

how small are we talking?
kid-sized?
midget-sized?
i'm sorry "little people-sized"

[absentconstellation]

[ Ah yes, the grumpy Healer. The Cat can appreciate that.

Text is just barely too much work, so he sticks with voice. ]

Suffice to say that I am small enough to fit in the vents, and smart enough not to try.

[rubikscomplex]

what are you?
a talking bird?

[absentconstellation]

[ There's an interesting leap. ]

Why a bird?

[rubikscomplex]

because there was a guy with a trained/semi-sapient bird
that hopped into the vents and died horribly
and if you can fit into the vents
you're not human

[absentconstellation]

How curious.

[ If he sounds amused, it's because he is. ]

I am not a bird.

[ecks]

he will find out eventually

[absentconstellation]

I do not doubt it.

[ He is just so entertained by this, honestly. ]

And what is it you think he will find out?

[ecks]

I think he will find out what you are

[absentconstellation]

What do you think I am?

[ecks]

is it a game?

[absentconstellation]

It can be.

[ecks]

Doctor House thinks youare a cat

[Is it cheating to wait until Sciencedad solves the puzzle?]

[absentconstellation]

That is no way you play a game, youngling.

[ecks]

[Oh, it was cheating.]

Are you a cat? I would still like to play the game. i did not check the other messages. i did not look at the video of you being a cat.

[Lying: she still fails pretty hard at it sometimes.]

[absentconstellation]

[ ... ]

Are you a fool, or do you only take me for one?

[rubikscomplex]

then what are you?
evasion confirms non-human

do you have hands?
the ability to carry things?
this will influence my suggestion for what to do

[absentconstellation]

[ Telling would spoil the fun! ]

I am able to carry things, though I do not have hands.

[rubikscomplex]

four legs or two?
we're counting things you walk on at a normal gait

[Okay, you've caught his interest.]

[absentconstellation]

Four.

[ See, this is fun! ]

[rubikscomplex]

[It is. But this is also a man who can spend hours throwing a ball at a wall for 'fun.' And to think.]

if i said i met a giant rat person once
would it excite you?

[absentconstellation]

I would find it very interesting.

[rubikscomplex]

does legend have it that your kind have nine lives?

[absentconstellation]

That is difficult to answer. Yes and no.

[rubikscomplex]

so you're a fancy cat?
that makes this more interesting
witch's familiar?
demon spirit?
animagus?
