[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?

Comments

[absentconstellation]

No, no, and no.

[rubikscomplex]

gimme a hint here, d.c.

[absentconstellation]

What is "d.c."?

[ Thats a no on the hint. ]

[rubikscomplex]

i wonder

[Two can play at this game.]

[absentconstellation]

Hm.

[ THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE ]

[rubikscomplex]

mysteries

[absentconstellation]

Indeed.

[ Can you tell he's a cat yet ]

[rubikscomplex]

[Very much so. House is a stubborn asshole, though. If he were an animal...]

so what's it like being a mrs. lovett's meat pit waiting to happen here?

[absentconstellation]

[ He is a very clever constellation, and he can figure out what that means even if he doesn't understand most of it. ]

Quite nice, in fact. I have very sharp claws.

[ And being a cat is the best, you should try it. ]

[rubikscomplex]

did they give you one of those cat vest things?
what about socks?

[absentconstellation]

Socks, yes. Is it normal to you for humans to make clothing for cats? I find it quite rude.

[rubikscomplex]

we find judgmental assholes with tails rude
the universe demands equilibrium

[absentconstellation]

[ Yup, Cat likes this human. ]

It certainly took them long enough.

[rubikscomplex]

[That's a dangerous place to be, Cat.]

some of us are slow on the uptake
i'll be sure to get back to the human council about that

[absentconstellation]

As soon as you are returned to your own realm and time, naturally.

[rubikscomplex]

naturally
i mean i'm just the guy who brings the donuts to the meetings
i don't make decisions

[absentconstellation]

That only means that you will not be recognized for your contribution.

[rubikscomplex]

i'm more of a "in the shadows" kinda guy, anyway
you get more done when people aren't fawning over you

[absentconstellation]

You mean when you are despised.

[rubikscomplex]

doesn't matter if they despise you when you're the one bringing the donuts
funny how people forget it for a while
but that's humans for you

[absentconstellation]

Mortals are fickle by the very nature of mortality. It is what makes them so interesting.

[rubikscomplex]

so you're not mortal
god cat?
ghost cat?

[absentconstellation]

[ It's okay, it's practically impossible to guess. ]

I am not nearly so foolish as a god.

[rubikscomplex]

then there are god-like people where you're from?
are we talking zeus rearranging the heavens and titans and all that greek?

[absentconstellation]

I am not familiar with Zeus, Titans, or Greek.
