First Song ★ Action

[catsong]

[Good evening, Paradisa. There's a young man in the lobby, sprawled on the floor like someone just knocked him out. He seems like an average medieval-era 18-20-year old, aside from the fact that he has two fluffy, white cat ears tipped in light-brown fur.

Groaning a bit, he seems to come out of a daze, not really sure what to expect. His crooked tail - in a similar color as his ears - shivers a bit, the fur bristling as he tries to decide whether of not he wants to open his eyes.

He couldn't hear that heartbeat any more, or the voices of the devils. But he couldn't hear Asato or Rai, either. Was he dead? Should he feel this nauseous if he was dead?

Opening a very orange eye, Konoe just... stares. This was someone's home? Covering his mouth, the young cat rolls over on his back, trying to not be sick. The snakes in his stomach were gone, too...

Finally.]

Haaah... hello?

[His ears fold back as soon as he speaks, feeling a bit stupid. Was this another trap?]

Comments

[her_mouse_jesty]

[What better confrontation for a cat boy to have than with a mouse girl? She peeks in, hearing the noise.]

Hmmm? Is something the matter?

[catsong]

I'm... okay?

[He seems rather surprised at this fact.

...then he looks at Minnie. Make that staring..]

[her_mouse_jesty]

You sounded a little upset.

[She walks into the room. Yup, this is clearly a walking and talking mouse.]

Do you need any help?

[catsong]

[He sits up a little, ears stroked back against his head and tail swishing.]

What kind of joke is this?

[encourage]

[ Sakura pauses close to... oh. Uh. Huh. Was this someone on a loss? So hard to tell these things! She ducks down close to him, whistling a soft two-note call as she waved her fingers to him slowly. Concern draws her forehead into worried lines, and she waits to see how he'll react to her before making further moves. ]

[catsong]

[Wait, what? Bird sounds?

He turns a bit, trying to not upset his stomach too much.

...then he sees her, and his expression turns to what looks like a mix between amazement and fear. Paling, Konoe is curling up more.

A Hu Man. He was dead, then. Dead, and he'd never see Asato again.]

[encourage]

[ Aah. Sakura keeps herself still, changing tunes to something she'd used on Cubone before. Soft and lulling, hoping to be reassuring as she neither moves toward him nor away. Loss or new guy, he's got something going on that wasn't letting him rest easy.

If there were a way to more easily check him out herself, without the extended explanations... glowing green chakra was either going to send him running, or he was resigned enough for anything to pass by without phasing him further.

She waits, gauging his reaction. ]

[catsong]

[Hu Mans spoke like birds. That didn't make much sense, but Konoe figures that Two Sticks' people didn't need to make sense.

He sits up - carefully - and gives her a sad look. This was not how he'd expected things to go. He supposed that weird cat was happy, now.]

...Two Sticks has a bigger house than I thought.

[He says, trying to gather enough strength to stand. Konoe wasn't sure if the Hu Man could even understand him...]

Cats puke too much...

[thebutz]

[A young man in an orange jacket can be found making his way through the lobby, latte in hand, when suddenly

TRIPPING

SPILLING LATTE

AHHHH

He falls in an orange, latte-covered on top of whoever that guy on the floor is]

What the heck?! Why are you just laying on the floor like that?! Are you crazy?

At least it's not a hair ball...

[catsong]

[Holy shiiiiiiii-!

Yeah, that's one catboy, trying to put all of his claws in Larry.]

Get off!

Well I'm not cleaning up your vomit, cat boy...

[thebutz]

Ow ow hey what the heck!

[He jumps up in alarm, still dripping with spilled coffee. Most of it seems to have ended up in his hair, actually... He scowls at the cat boy, rubbing his new wounds]

You were the one laying in the middle of the floor! What are you doing, taking a nap?!

ffff don't fall on him, then!

[catsong]

I was just-!

[Wait. What... was this guy? A ribika without ears?

...no, he could see the ears. They were small and pink. Like a Hu Man...]

...am I dead?

dictated;

[amiable]

Hello?

dictated;

[catsong]

[Holy crap, he heard something... but where?]

dictated;

[amiable]

They're gone?

dictated;

[catsong]

[Where is that sound coming from? He groans a bit and rolls over with a sigh. Was it someone talking in his mind again? But this sounded like a female...]

[lifeandpride]

[The state of the young man...it was a young man, wasn't it? ...has him concerned. He rushes over immediately and kneels by his side, trying not to stare too much at the cat-like features.]

Are you all right, friend?

[catsong]

[Someone rushed up to him, and Konoe hisses in surprise, ears flattening and tail bristling more.

...but he sounded so kind, and the white hair reminded him of Rai.]

I'm... dead?

[lifeandpride]

[Ukitake gives a small smile. As a shinigami, usually when someone asked him that question, the answer was 'yes.' It was a small pleasure for him to shake his head.]

No, I don't think so.

[It was odd to see the catlike features, but he supposed, lots of things were odd here.]

Are you feeling sick? I can explain everything on the way to the clinic, if you like.

[wilder]

[He had been walking by when he came across this. He couldn't help but stare a little. Sure there were the Katze back home, but they looked much more cat like than this guy. Never has he seen someone look human but with a tail and cat ears]

[Oh and now he's awake and talking; better say something]

Uh, yo!

[catsong]

[His tail sways a bit back and forth, the crooked end quite eye-catching. Hearing the voice, Konoe glances up at Zelos.

...and then he sighs and rolls up a bit more.]

I'm dead...

[wilder]

Really? You don't look it.

[luckyvalentine]

[annnnd Faye kind of stops when she sees this in the lobby, on her way back from the kitchen.

...yeah, those are definitely cat ears.]

Okay, now I've seen everything.

[catsong]

[Said ears lean back a bit as he hears her, and he groans just slightly. Did he have to turn around?]

...what?

UGH sorry I lost the notif for this one ;;

[luckyvalentine]

And what exactly are you supposed to be?
