seasonsrpg | Miyuni 💫 Permanent Catch-All

[ You can tell when it clicks because her ears (metaphorically) go DING. ]

Ohh! I get it, I get it. [ She gestures him over with her free hand. ] Old friend of mine had a lot to say 'bout outdoor cats.

And touch is usually fine. Usually! Most of the time. It's grabbiness and surprises I'm less a fan of as a like, general thing.

[Leo had SO much to say about cats. He didn't even have an apartment and he took care of his cat fine.]

He was right.

Good to know. [He is coming over! For the cats! Setting down his coffee.] So how DID you get a bunch of kittens in your hair?

Leo had a halfway decent head on his shoulders most of the time. Knew his stuff.

[ Miyuni shifts her grip on her armful of hair and gently sets it down on his lap.

Holy hair though? It's so much. Silky soft, with a velveteen plushness and a ridiculous amount of volume and floof-factor … and it's warm, too, like a heated blanket. Perfect for snuggling.

Perfect for anxious kittens to burrow and nestle into. Now that he's closer, he can likely hear the sweet sound of a snoozing kittypile. ]

I found 'em in an ratty old cardboard box under a park bench. Lucky my hair makes for a great cat toy and a fab bed.

Always good to hear. I can't tell you how many people thought taking care of their pets was just letting them be outside forever.

[Cute.]

[He is settling down behind her.]

Some people can't be bothered to just take them to the shelter. [A dramatic sigh, but he's going to get to work on trying to extract these kitties. At least he's had practiced at grooming now.] It is kind of like a cat tree and so many strings.

You'd think it'd be common sense. You'd think! And that's coming from me, a person who, I can't lie, sometimes still feels a smidge [ makes a 'small pinch' gesture with her hand ] weird 'bout the concept of pets in general.

[ Shakes her head lightly enough not to disturb her hair. ]

I've been pondering doing another looksee around for the mum later. What d'you reckon?

[ And all that practice will certainly be useful here. Miyuni's hair almost seems to work like multi-coated fur … and hair … and something that's uniquely her, all at the same time. The wriggliness of kittens means its gotten a bit tangled in places, and there's some leaves and twigs and specks of dirt. ]

Hm. You've got good hands for this. [ The comparison to a cat tree and string makes her laugh, her ears doing a single gentle swish-y wiggle ] Maybe that's why C liked it so much. Old teammate, from Imeeji. He was always climbing into my hair.

You'd think. I'm not entirely sure why someone wants a pet if they're always out of the house. Like they just want something they can pet sometimes.

[He'll make sure to pick out those twigs and leaves and all that too. We're going full grooming. All sorts of practice.] Difficult to say. The box under a bench says human abandonment. So the mom could be anywhere. But the mom could also be very upset about her babies missing, but tracking a cat is a lot harder than humans.

I've been practicing a lot with Macaque. [No shame. Monkey has been wanting all the practice.] He must have been rather small though. [She has a lot of hair, but the weight alone for staying in there could be a problem.]

You're probably right and wow, I hate that. [ Mild, and mildly exasperated. It's the tip of an iceberg. ]

[ What's more fun that exploring icebergs? Grooming! Miyuni lets her eyes go lidded. She isn't quite purring, but there's a hint of somehow musical rumbliness to her next exhale ... and to the chuckle that follows. ] Not so hard for me, now that I know the babies are in safe hands. [ A flash of a smile. ]

Ooh. It shows, it shows. Isn't his fur just the best? I could get all poetical about it. [ Shame? What's that? ]

C was teensy. Shorter than Choco by aboooout ... [ an inch? she measures it out with her fingers ] that much, and even super teensier when he'd lark around with AlcheMe's abilities. Hand-sized agent of chaos. Hyper-concentrated chaotic gremlin energy.

People suck sometimes. [Unfortunately.]

Oh? You got super senses too? [Always good to know. Also the babies are in SUCH safe hands. He has the safest hands for kittens. Now he just has to find them.]

It is very nice fur. Very soft. And he's probably blushing up a storm if he's listening.

Ooh, size changing? That's fun.

[ With the slightest touch of dryness, ] That they do.

Hm? [ A lopsided tilt of the ears like a puzzled dog - ] Oooh. Right. Aurora was way back. And the memories were all early days … [ Ah, nostalgia. ] Ellipsa's dampened my everything a whole bunch, I'd maybe probably break everything otherwise, but yeah. Super senses.

[ There's no hint of a brag. She could be commenting on the weather or what she had for breakfast. ]

Bet he'll top up here in person soon enough. We can compliment him to his face.

[ Oh, Wash. Wash, you sweet summer child. ]

Alch powers were aaaaall about Fun. And also about causing problems on purpose. Status effect potions! Minor self-fulfilling prophecies! Foresight! "Nothing Up My Sleeve," AKA the "haha no" ability to swish a cape over someone and banish them to the ocean. Or a dumpster.

....how far back? [How long has it been????] These places do like to do that, I've heard. Usually I just get a bit more squishy.

[He hummed.] Do love a good menacing of him. He's really cute when he blushes.

Honestly, I'm really digging portal stuff. Great way to yeet your problems. Sounds great. Mac's spoiling me about it.

For me? Like, five ... six hundred years? Round abouts. [ She hums, stretching her legs out. ] For perspective: I was already thousands of years old at that point. Even if I didn't seem it. Triple amnesia was a bitch and a half.

[ Grinning, ] He's really, really cute when the blush reaches his ears. Almost too cute for words.

[ HEY WASH ]

[ GUESS WHAT YOU JUST FOUND ]

[ KITTENS ]

[ They're sleepy and squeaky and so small, probably around three weeks old ]

You learning portal magic?

[There is a pause at that.] How do you even remember a few months amongst all that? [Even with all the amnesia.]

Oh, I know. His face is cute and they're really cute. He gave me permission to touch them and I cannot tell you how often I want to abuse that privilege. [The cute is real.]

[Oh no. Oh no, the cute babies.]

Hold up, found a kitten. [WE HAVE PRIORITIES, MA'AM. And the priorities are carefully extracting adorable kittens from hair.]

[ She pauses as well, considering …

Her ears flick lightly back and forth, a rhythmic motion that may call to mind someone drumming their fingers. ] Sure, a few months is a tiny slice of the time pie for a super magical immortal space dragon who's gonna outlive the death of universes. But, like.

It's an important slice. [ She shrugs, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. Smiles briefly. ] The people I met there matter. You matter. So I'll remember.

[ Casually pretzels herself a tiny bit, cat-style, so she'll be able to see his face when he finally gets to the kittens. ]

You tried getting real close and singing to him yet?

[ — pfff ] Holding, holding!

[ The kittens could use a bath but they're warm and full of wiggles, and they've certainly got healthy lungs, wow. Miyuni helpfully reaches in, parting small sections of hair so he'll have an easier time wrangling the kittens themselves. ]

....

[He does smile and chuckles a bit.] Who knew you could be so sappy. [Its an affectionate teasing.] But it is nice to hear.

I'm not so much of a singer. [Just saying.]

[BUT ALSO]

[KITTEN.]

[He is going to carefully untangle the kittens.] There, there. Its okay. [Soft and gentle. Only stilling when they get bitey or clawy, let them get the aggression out and show he isn't here for a fight, and then work on untangling more.]

Oh, mate, you've no idea. I like a healthy dose o' sap. [ FINGERGUNS, which she turns into pointing at herself with her thumbs. ] Feelings! Communication! Love a good jam! So long as no one's expecting, like, eloquence or insight or whatever.

[ Or for her to get all up in anyone's emotional-slash-tragic-backstory grill outside of exceptional circumstances. She is Not About That Life. ]

You've got a decent voice in you if you ever wanna give learning a go.

[ ... Cute. She conjures up a (purple, vaguely glittery) cat basket with soft bedding just in case he needs something a smidgen more secure than his lap to put them in while he rescues the others. ]
