01 ♌ voice

[faker]

I feel a little silly typing into a mirror, so I think that I'll say hi this way instead. [she laughs] Not that I won't look much less stupid if this doesn't work!

Anyway, hello there to everyone who can hear me! My name is Nepeta and I'm clawsitively brand new around here. I'm really sorry to hear that things are going badly in this world, but I kind of had my own problems back home. So I guess since we can't go back until things get fixed here I'll be working extra hard to hurry it up.

But I've got a question in the meantime that I hope somebody can answer. Is there any way to bring specific people here? If I can't go back home just yet then I'd at least like to know that my friends are somewhere a little safer.

[the frown is almost audible in her voice, but it perks back up fairly quickly]

If by some chance you guys are here already, you better tell me right away! There'll be shell to pay if I have to walk around and find you myself.

But...why? [He loses some of his composure] You don't trust me? Do you think that I'll harm you, or treat you badly?

[the smile drops because ouch man way to hit her right in the insecurities. she grips the edges of her cape, trying her best to keep playing this off as just a minor life choice sort of thing.]

No, of course not! I just don't think that what's in my veins should have anything to do with the way people act around me.

[Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

Well. [He frowns] I do. And I swear that I won't hurt you.

[she pulls into her hood even more, mumbling a little bit] You really are just like him, aren't you...

Re: [Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

Am I? [He shrugs faintly] You seem much like the Nepeta I know...though not exactly the same.

[Action]

[faker]

[that makes her smile a little] Well, I'd hope so! It'd be a clawful waste of confusing time shenanigans if everyone was exactly the same every time.

[Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

Certainly, that's true. [He rather likes to see that little smile] You seem a lot more...sad than she is.

[Action]

[faker]

I don't know why, I haven't got much to be sad about. [that she's at liberty to talk about, at least. and even if she was, there was no need to worry anybody anyway.]

Re: [Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

I don't know, either. [He hesitates, looking down] Well. Perhaps I should go.

[Action]

[faker]

Oh yeah, you're probably really busy. [she rocks on her heels a little, weighing between her own nature and safety.

she lets her nature win this time.]

But, Equius? I know that I'm not her, but I'd still really like to be your friend. So you can come visit again if you like.

[Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

[It's not that he's busy, but he feels awkward and isn't that good at conversation at the best of times. He looks up in surprise] I'd like that. Of course, you're welcome to seek me out if you need anything.

[Action]

[faker]

I'll definitely remember that! [she smiles, more confidently this time] And maybe next time we can have lunch.

[Action]

[highb100d_seeker]

Ah, I'd like that very much. [He nods to her and turns away, still feeling a bit awkward] Until next time, then, Nepeta.
