Skit 4: Weather and animals

[protosshaze]

All this cold reminds me of when we were traveling through Fendel. Hubert and Cheria didn't like the cold very much. I think it was because Hubert grew up in the desert, and Cheria's skirt didn't cover her legs. Asbel's lucky he's a cat now so his fur can keep him warm.

What does it feel like to turn into a cat? Do you still think about human things, or just cat things? And can the cats turn into humans here?

Well... I didn't get turned into a cat, but I got turned into my box weapon once. He's sort of like a little lion. ...anyway, I guess I still thought about human things when I was him?

[protosshaze]

A box that looks like a lion?

[heirofficium]

Being an animal doesn't change your thoughts, it just makes it harder to communicate them.

Your friend is a cat? [ Animagus? ]

[protosshaze]

Yes. Asbel turned into a white cat. I wasn't sure if I should feed him cat food or people food, so I gave him both.

[heirofficium]

Personally, when I turn into a dog, I still prefer human food. But that's a smart move either way. [ He shrugs. ]

[protosshaze]

Did you give the castle indigestion, too?

[not_mafia]

No, he looks just like a lion! Except... small. Like a house cat, I guess.

[heirofficium]

Indigestion? [ LMAO SOPHIE WHAT ]

No, I can turn into a dog at will.

[protosshaze]

I've never seen a lion that small before.

[protosshaze]

Is it hard to do that?

[not_mafia]

Maybe I'll show you him sometime! I think you'd like him.

[protosshaze]

Okay! I would like that.

[not_mafia]

Whenever we next meet up, then!

[protosshaze]

Yes.

[There's something appearing scrawled in your journal... IF it is still with you...]

Wait. Asbel is a cat?

[And then...]

I thought of things when I was a cat. Human things...And I destroyed the lobby. Being a cat is frustrating. Nobody understands you and you can't write, because you lack thumbs.

[protosshaze]

Usually he's a person, but he's a cat now. I hope Asbel isn't too frustrated.

[heirofficium]

It took a lot of work to develop the skill, yeah. Luckily I was up to the challenge. ~

[protosshaze]

I've never been an animal before. It looks fun.

[heirofficium]

That's because it is fun. For the most part.

[protosshaze]

Is it okay to pet him?

[psych0p0mps]

ive never been a cat but i could tell you about turning into a frog if you want

[protosshaze]

Okay. What's it like?

[psych0p0mps]

well it was kind of slimy
and you cant walk normally you have to kind of hop everywhere
and i distinctly remember my tongue randomly deciding to lick things on its own every few minutes
which as you might imagine caused its share of problems 0_0

[protosshaze]

It sounds really hard. I'm glad you're back to normal now.

[psych0p0mps]

haha well it was over a year ago
but thanks retroactively
why were you asking by the way did a friend of yours become a cat

[protosshaze]

Yes. Asbel is normally a person, but now he's a cat.

[psych0p0mps]

oh i see
well on the plus side that probably wont last very long
and then you can ask him about the experience when he turns back

[protosshaze]

Okay, I will.

[psych0p0mps]

yes good
i dont think i got your name by the way?
mine is aradia

[protosshaze]

Hello, Aradia. My name is Sophie.

[silentrunning]

[Chell grins at that.]

I'd give him whichever he seems to prefer. And I know Asbel. He's very nice. And don't worry. He won't be a cat forever.

[Chell draws a small heart in the journal as a kind of reassurance.]

[psych0p0mps]

nice to meet you sophie
and tell your friend asbel that i say hi as well

[protosshaze]

He can't answer back. All he does is purr.

[psych0p0mps]

pfft thats ok
tell him hi anyways
