02 | That darn cat

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Flora's been spending most of her time at home, resting. Today, however, she's out on a mission! What might that be? Well, it's to catch one very dastardly cat, of course! You'll encounter her in one of four ways:

1. You'll spot Flora sitting on her porch looking very unhappy. If she could wring her hands without re-injuring her missing fingers,

Three is a magic number~

[Kitty cat needs some manners? How about a nice kick to the side? Taiga doesn't appreciate being attacked.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Kitty doesn't like that, and is now trying to attach herself you your leg. Ouch.]

[tsuntiger]

[Very ouch. But Taiga will not be beaten by a mangy cat...!]

G-get off, you stupid thing!

[Yes, she's waving her leg around frantically to get the cat off.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Kitty goes flying, and once she recovers, she starts making some creepy growling noises.]

Yo sup stranger?

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Flora doesn't notice at first, she's too busy trying to get kitty out of the tree. AKA: Trying to coax her down while fail!climbing the same time.]

Come here, Claudia. If...if you do, I'll give you a treat when we get home! So, um...Please?

[bbsatbyrobots]

But...I don't know what else to do!

4~

[Cue the girl who, despite being associated with cats, is miserable with them. But... she couldn't just leave someone staring up at a tree, right?]

Uhm... is your cat stuck up there, miss?

4~

[bbsatbyrobots]

Oh! Yes, she...well, she doesn't like me much, and isn't coming down...

[Just staring helplessly at the tree. Sob Claudia why are you so mean?]

[nekomimi_sweets]

Maybe... maybe I can help!

Uh-uhm, Miss Kitty! Could you come down, please? Your owner is really sad that you're up there, and all she wants is to help!

[She honestly thinks that will do something.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Claudia hisses, and then makes herself comfortable on another branch.]

I...don't think that worked very well...

three forever

[scareup]

[Hey neighbor--Tom's new just down the street at 1123 and having a wander around. You can't blame him though, trying to get used to all this craziness, so well--he is attempting his best to get away from the house and figure out how the whole city works.

He does not plan on moving past the street though today, taking up the habit of taking regular strolls before and after this new job he apparently has had, a job well--he is not familiar with but has come to the conclusion to play along until he can sort it, carefully.]

Hm?

[Something catches his attention though, a noise perhaps and well--suddenly--cat meet face and see Tom attempting to remove it with a small strangled noise.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Claudia decides she rather likes this mans face--It makes for a good scratching post--and while scratching someone is definitely frowned upon by humans, she's, well, a cat. And not just any cat, but a spoiled brat of a cat.

Flora, on the other hand, is at the other end of the street searching through some bushes. She...hasn't yet noticed the man and his furry plight.]

[scareup]

[Not one to hurt animals, as animals never have to worry about defaulting on their loans, Tom tries his best to salvage his face from the furious feline, wrapping both of his hands around the creatures torso and taking a quick breath before yanking outwards, rather dealing with the rush of kitty-claws for one moment than trying to be too gentle.

This is all only attempted though, notably amongst a rather profanity laced building rage.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Well, trying to get her off only made Claudia claw at him more.

It did draw her owners attention, though, and now Flora's running over to help! S-sort of.]

Ah...! Claudia, no! [She goes to reach for the cat, but ends up getting scratched in the process.]

2!

[drumtastic]

[Hidey-ho there, BFF's not!mom. Ritsu was walking to Mio's house when she noticed Flora running about, calling for something. Now, Ritsu's not one for ignoring a person so she turns to look.]

Looking for something?

2!

[bbsatbyrobots]

Oh, yes. My cat...Though I suppose she isn't mine...Has gone missing.

[She pauses, looking around.]

She's nowhere to be found, though.

[drumtastic]

Well, that's not good! Mind if I help out?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Not at all! I'd appreciate the help, actually.
