[ The video flicks on to a Meowth, sitting pretty on a bed in Niou's room at the Ecruteak Inn. She's cleaning her whiskers, but is quick to look up at the camera. ]

Meoooow~?

[ And that's all before the

action.

[reimprovise]

['sup, Niou. your balcony is being commandeered by a Fuji dropping down from... apparently the balcony above that. there is a frantic flapping of green Flygon wings, and he swings in, crouching. there's then something like a pleased grin as he turns back and waves to his flygon, before knocking on the balcony door.]

action.

[futariniousama]

[ Niou looks on approvingly. That's much more awesome than just taking the elevator and coming to the door. It's not locked, so Niou just beckons Fuji in.

He's seated on the bed next to the Meowth, who's occupying herself with the suspiciously purple feather teaser in Niou's hand. ]

action.

[reimprovise]

[And he does so, cheerfully, sliding open the glass door and ushering himself in. The first thing he notices, of course, is the purple feather teaser -- his eyes gravitate to the movement of the object; though he's known Niou's ditto long enough to get a good idea of what it might be.

he stalks in and heads immediately for the dresser table. Throwing a quip over his back--]

Thinking of becoming a crazy cat lady? Because I think I know just the right porch.

action.

[futariniousama]

[ Niou and the now-attentive cat both track Fuji's movements across the room, one warily and the other curiously. Even the feather wand manifests eyes to blink after the boy. ]

Think I could pull it off? I'm gonna need a lot more cats.

[video]

[restardom]

[ omg kitty. omg kitty. ]

Aren't you such a pretty girl??

[video] this icon is so very relevant

[futariniousama]

[ The Meowth seems to be fixated on a laser pointer racing across the bedspread. Niou's voice sounds from behind the camera. ]

I've been told as much, yeah.

[video] ... Niou what are you doing

[restardom]

I should've known you'd have one.

[ yes, of course we are both talking about the cat. ]

[video] getting caught with Yagyuu's legs over her hips, iirc.

[futariniousama]

What, a pretty pussy?

[ he is so unapologetic. ]

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

[Knock knock. Yukimura is coming to meet your new Pokemon - he's got a tiny bit of a soft spot for cats too.]

[action]

[futariniousama]

[ Niou glances at the door. He shouldn't be suspicious, but he doesn't want to call 'come in' to a stranger. Can't look too inviting.

Wresting his hand away from the playful Meowth, he goes to open the door and, upon seeing Yukimura, simply walks away again, leaving it open. ]

Come to put the fear of the Child of God in the new arrival?

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

[Yukimura comes in and closes the door behind him. Who knows who might wander by.]

Oh, that too. You do seem to have a talent for finding the most appropriate Pokemon, Niou.

[action]

[futariniousama]

What can I say? I'm a man of many talents.

[ He scoops up the cat and presents her rather unceremoniously to his captain. ]

[crossinggenders]

Oh, she's adorable! [A beat.] I guess everyone is getting "cat scratch fever" nowadays...

[Video]

[futariniousama]

I've been meanin' to pick up one of these. Just happen to be in the area.

Why, you been seein' a lot of cats around?

[Video]

[crossinggenders]

[And on cue, a Glameow will be peering at the Meowth from the screen. Jiiiii.]

Um... Something like that. This little guy followed me home a few days ago. I think it was abandoned by its trainer.

[Video]

[futariniousama]

Aw. [ That's about as close to awww ububububu as Niou gets. ]

Who'd ditch a cat, man? I don't get it.
