Day 65 :: action [OPEN]

[silvervine]

Who: Kuro and everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 65
Where: throughout the Bastion
What: Kuro is investigating.
Format: Action
Warnings: Cats!

[ It'd taken about a day before Kuro was willing to part from his master-turned-mistress. When it seemed like nothing dramatic was going to swoop in and steal Rin away from him, he finally did what all cats had to do eventually. It was time to explore, so he's creeping mostly around the apartments and the Bastion overall. He's taken the time to mark some territory as well, just as a matter of principle.

If he sees anyone out and about, he'll wander over to investigate them. Maybe someone will have a snack for him. It never hurt to be an optimist. ]

Comments

[nightchan]

[Look who's also out and about! Since this is her natural form she prefers exploring in it over her human one. It's much easier this way, to boot.

What she didn't expect to find was another demon cat (or similar to) like her also roaming around. At first she had mistaken his scent for Rin's and paid the small difference no mind- until she got closer to him. At times like this it's easy for her to forget she also has a human appearance to upkeep. Very easy.

Which is why she's hiding in the bushes downwind to where Kuro is roaming, eyes wide and body ready to pounce before he catches her scent.]

[silvervine]

[ Kuro isn't paying half as much attention to his surroundings when he wanders near where Night is hiding. He does start looking around curiously, bushes might mean stray rodents and those were always proper snacks.

And, yes, he doesn't catch on nearly as quickly as he should that there's another cat right nearby. ]

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon is doing Productive Things, like cleaning his weapon and restocking bullets after his last trip to the Skyway, but he is doing this outside the apartment building so it is easy for Kuro to come across him.

He looks up when he hears Kuro prowling around, and he smiles a small smile.]

Yo, Kuro.

[nightchan]

[Three... two... one...

POUNCE!]

Gotcha!

[silvervine]

[ Hello!

Kuro's tails are raised high as he pads over.

Hey, what are you doing?

His meowing is decidedly cheerful, and it certainly doesn't take telepathy to know he's pleased to see him. It really is nice that one of Rin's friends made it here. ]

[silvervine]

[ H-hey!

Kuro topples when she pounces him, and kicks his feet as he twists around to swat at her as well.

Who do you think you are?! ]

[kyotoprincess]

[Dawwww socute

Bon will set down his gun so he can reach over and scratch Kuro behind the ears.]

Yeah, yeah, it's good to see you here too. Are you keeping Okumura out of trouble?

[nightchan]

[She bats at his face with a paw, having a good ol' time even if he isn't.

But to answer his question she prances away, ceasing her teasing him for now.]

You can call me Night!

[silvervine]

[ Of course!

He thoroughly rubs his head up against Bon's hand, a rumbling purr rising up in his chest. Yes, there, that was much better. When a cat was around, working on anything came second to whatever it wanted.

You should be keeping her out of trouble, too, you know. Rin needs a team for that kind of thing. ]

[kyotoprincess]

[Of course, cats are boss like that. Bon isn't like Koneko, but he still does like cats, especially smart cats like Kuro.

It would help if he could understand Kuro, though.]

Speaking of Okumura, I wonder if you're from her world or mine. Was it a surprise for you too, when you saw she was a girl?

[silvervine]

[ I didn't understand at all! It was strange!

His response is all very dramatic, at least at first.

I thought she wasn't Rin for a minute, but Rin smells like Rin anyway. She's cozier to sleep on like this. ]

[silvervine]

[ I didn't think there was another cat here. I'm Kuro!

That acknowledged, he darts at her. Once the surprise wore off, he has no trouble being playful. ]

[kyotoprincess]

[It's a really good thing that he can't understand Kuro, that last part would have been weird to hear. But he'll take Kuro's dramatics to mean that he's used to a boy Rin as well.]

I thought so. She looks different, but she still acts a lot like him.

[Not exactly like the Rin he knows, but close enough that it's obvious they're the same person.]

I wonder if you would be a girl too, in that world. Though I suppose it doesn't matter much, boy cats and girl cats are mostly the same anyway.

[silvervine]

[ Kuro just has some differing priorities, okay? Rin being cozy is a very notable thing.

But Bon's second comment is just plain offensive. His tails lash back and forth as he gives him a particularly betrayed look.

We're more different than you humans are! I have my pride as a man! ]

[nightchan]

[She bounces back, tail waving up high, before sprinting back to try and tackle him again.]

Hi, Kuro! Did you just arrive here too?

[kyotoprincess]

Oi oi, no need to get testy.

[Come on Kuro he's petting you that makes up for it right?]

If it makes you feel better, I'd be a terrible girl.

[hellpyre]

Kurooooo~

[Looks like Kuro isn't getting far before Rin goes looking for him.

But it's for a good reason, because she actually does have a snack for him.]</small.

[blackblooded]

[Oh that is a... little... cat...

It's really cute.

(Crona doesn't know how to deal with cats).

So Crona just sort of crouches down in front of Kuro and holds out a hand. Hopefully this will go better than Crona's first meeting with Blair (and the boobsquished associated with that first meeting).]

H-hello.

[Moron, it can't understand you.]

[silvervine]

[ The continued petting is all that saves Bon. It was just indecent, insulting Kuro's masculinity in such a way. He is a very fine gentleman cat, thank you.

You would be.

After a moment, he relents. And that means Bon now has Kuro climbing on him to make himself comfortable.

I guess it's not your fault you don't understand these things. ]

[silvervine]

[ There's no hesitation from Kuro when he hears his name being called. Rin and food went hand-in-hand, and that's something he's extremely familiar with. Any changes between universes wouldn't affect that.

He doesn't mind the interruption since he could always mark Bon's door as part of his territory later.

(It was a matter of principle.)

I'm here! ]

[silvervine]

[ Kuro pads over to the new person, sniffing at Crona's hand curiously. This is one cat that knows how to deal with people, at least, so he'll get this started by rubbing against that offered hand once in friendly greeting. He pulls back and sits, looking up at Crona expectantly.

Hello! ]

[hellpyre]

[Kuro no]

Hey buddy! I got some scraps from dinner for ya.

[He's right though - Rin and food do go hand in hand]

[silvervine]

[ They're both going to go tumbling before he kicks away, bouncing light on his paws.

I did, I just found Rin yesterday. ]

[kyotoprincess]

[Augh no don't mess up his hair!!1]

Come on, I was trying to work on things!

[nightchan]

[She aims to nip at his ear, butt wagging.]

Oh you know Rin too? Jeez, it seems like everyone knows her!
