{Animus}

[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]

too soon,

Is this some type of riddle? [These must be the animus.]

[adstring_npc]

we like riddles!

[reddattebane]

[Whoah! Energetic guys aren't they? 8|]

I see, so does that mean you're testing us with a riddle?

[adstring_npc]

we don't really like tests, though
unless we can fix the answers

[marsfireignite]

[Well. Time to give this a go.]

Tiamet.

Do you know that name?

[adstring_npc]

met what

we know lots of names

[marsfireignite]

Tiamet.

[But that may prove to be a useless battle, even though both Toushirou and Castiel discovered the same connection. So Rei continues.]

There's got to be more than one of you -- Thalette is one of them.

You know my name -- it's only fair that I know all of yours, too.

[adstring_npc]

never liked that spelling

where does fairness come into it
though if you guess another, we'll tell you
divine it up

[hardcorecute]

Hiiiii Elephants!

I like your music!

[adstring_npc]

thank you

we picked it for you

[hardcorecute]

Aw, that was really nice of you, Elephants! You're the bestest!

I waited up all night for you last weekend, and you never came on the TV Phone! What happened?

[adstring_npc]

we're sorry

we were busy
we've been setting up for ages!
technically we still are

but there will be surprises!

[supermistfrog]

...

Ah, have you separated this time?

[adstring_npc]

not entirely
there's not enough room

but we cleaned the tubes so we could stretch a little this week
(you all store too many things in there)

[supermistfrog]

So you took down the filters, is what I'm seeing.

[And suddenly, a thought comes across-]

Ah, can I ask you a question, please?

[adstring_npc]

they get in the way of communication

you can try

[sgtmajorjerk]

You must be the Animus I've heard so much about.

Ku, ku, ku!

[adstring_npc]

must we

possibly!

[sgtmajorjerk]

Ku, ku, ku. You don't disappoint.

I look forward to seeing what you cats are capable of.

[adstring_npc]

I like cats
I want to know what they're capable of too
