nebulous time after they both know about good ends

[catposting]

[ midnight, there's one (1) cat on the lighthouse roof, not doing much to conceal himself but not exactly drawing attention to himself either. he's been spending most nights at Clover lately, but sometimes ya just gotta brood.

[ in the actual lighthouse control room with a disposable cup of Hot Drink, in fact, because he too is a brooding instinct understander--

when he hears the sound of someone landing on the roof.
waits a few moments. ]

[ cubes him from the roof ]

Since when did you hang out here?

Re: nebulous time after they both know about good ends

[finalbows]

Since there was zero chance of encountering my wandering flockmates.

[ titter, titter. the catcube makes a poking motion at Angie's forehead. ]

What's the occasion? I thought you were starting to enjoy their company a little more~

[ flicks the cube. but his heart isn't in it. ]

It's a hardly a flock. It's two schoolboys, three empty rooms, and the spitting image of my past self who's constantly torn between looking at me with carnal or carnivorous intent. I'm just...

I'm not miserable, cat, but there was once something else there that's gone now, and waking up to realize my soul had nearly fled this place as well... I don't know.

The days are fine. The nights are.. merely a little less easy.

...besides, it's not like I'm the only one up here, now am I?

[ there are a few things worth addressing here, but instead he snorts and says, ]

I just like the shape of this roof. It's cozy. Familiar, I suppose.

The kids are out cold, anyway.

[finalbows]

You've well worn it into shape by now, I suppose.

[ catcube swivels upside down ]

Do you ever feel like you've shared too much?

[finalbows]

[ well that's just an invitation to poke it ]

Here and there. _{I remember there was this time at a gala I simply got too ahead of myself, and...} Well, usually I'd just take measures to clean up after.

no blood just vibes

[catposting]

[ sighs, the real Akrinak basking upside down in the moonlight ]

I should do that. Clean up.

Re: no blood just vibes

[finalbows]

Our calm, collected cat's stuck in a pickle, huh?

...If this is finally the part where you're to try and kill me, I should like to wait until this batch of cloud's passed over, so that we might properly bathe in the moonlight for the scene.

[catposting]

[ sticks his tongue out ]

You'd really do it? Fight me to the death?

[finalbows]

Only if you're a good kitty-cat and let me finish my drink first~.

[catposting]

[ dangling upside down outside the window ]

I don't believe you.

[finalbows]

You want to test me~?

[catposting]

...

I'm lazy.

You miss Shadow Fiend.

The old you would have uprooted the entire pasture trying to bring her back.

[finalbows]

Exactly the words I'd say to someone trying to get them to do something I want out of them, so skip the preamble, cat.

[catposting]

-- What, we can't just talk?

I don't want anything from you.

[finalbows]

...


She didn't want to be here. She wanted to go home.

[catposting]

... I know.

What about you?
