Eleventh flight [voice, then video]

[hot4engines]

[Oops, it appears one of the kitties has turned Kaylee's phone on by accident. All that can be heard anyway is a squeal of delight.

Kaylee then picks the phone up and turns it off. Several minutes later, a video of her appears. She has one kitten cradled in her arms and another in her lap.]

This kitty is named Wash, and I named this one Zoe! There was another hangin' around that I named Jayne but I think he's chasin' mice... ain't they just the sweetest things?

'course, they are all gonna need feedin'...

You like these little monsters? I can't get the beasts to stop clawing up me leg and gettin into my shit.

[hot4engines]

'course I do! They sure do make nice company... well, 'cept for the clawin' bit, but they can be trained to stop doin' that.

[geminated_man]

Can they? Can they also be trained not to be total rotting cunts? Stop them from eating you once you've died?

[hot4engines]

... what?! Cats don't eat ya when you die!

[geminated_man]

They do. I've seen it. Cats honestly do not give any number of shits about you and will eat you when you die. By then you're just meat anyway, right?

[hot4engines]

That ain't true.

[geminated_man]

It is true. I told you that I've seen it, right?

[hot4engines]

[Yeah she's just gonna stop talking to you now. XD]

[notjohnsmith]

I have extra fish...

[hot4engines]

That'd be lovely! ♥ Jayne and Zoe seem t'be fine with gettin' mice, but Wash is a lazy bum and just wants to sleep.

[notjohnsmith]

I'll bring Yuki, Asahina, Koizumi, and Shamisen the Third over to play with them as well, if that's all right.

[hot4engines]

I'd love that! I'm sure Wash, Zoe and Jayne wouldn't mind makin' new friends either~

[notjohnsmith]

Are you planning on keeping them all?

[hot4engines]

I'd love to, but I gotta turn two of 'em in to get my stipend, too, accordin' to Commander Shepard... so unless I wanna catch two more and keep up takin' care of five of 'em, I ain't gonna keep 'em.

[notjohnsmith]

I see.

I'm thinking of keeping one, but all four of them would be excessive. However, that still means that once I decide between Shamisen III and Asahina, I'll have one more than I need to turn in. If you'd like one, either to keep or to turn in, then please look no further.

[hot4engines]

Well, I sure would like havin' a pet. I may take you up on that.

[notjohnsmith]

Just let me know.

yOU HAVE POUNCEBEASTS, tOO,
wHERE DID YOU GET YOURS FROM,
bECAUSE, mINE ARE CRAWLING OUT OF, uHH, a VENT, iN MY RESPITEBLOCK,
aND,

( Deciding it's better to show her rather than tell her, Tavros switches to video. There's a black kitten dangling from one of his horns. The yellows of his eyes are shot with brown. )

I, uhh, can't get them to stop...

(video)

[hot4engines]

Mine just appeared outta nowhere! Some're in the hallways outside my apartment...

[She then furrows her eyebrows.]

... just how many've come out so far?

(video)

[rocketchair]

Uhh...

( Tavros looks down and around his feet. )

... four?

(video)

[hot4engines]

Are they still comin' out, or is that all of them?

(video)

[rocketchair]

I, uhh... I think that's all of them. Tamaki said I could take them to Souji's house, though. I-I mean, to take care of them. I'm, uhh... I'm allergic.

( He winces as a kitten climbs up his shirt. )

Wh-What are you gonna do with yours?

Re: (video)

[hot4engines]

That'd be a good idea- bein' allergic to 'em's gotta be awful!

[She frowns.]

Well, since I gotta turn two of 'em in to get my stipend, I'm tryin' not to get attached to all of them... so I'm probably just going to end up turning all 3 in.

[sunflowersister]

Those are cute names!

[hot4engines]

Why, thanks! I named 'em after people I like!

[Audio]

[coimiceoir]

I've seen a few that size out here, but Mín Spéir is much, much bigger!

[Audio]

[hot4engines]

There're even bigger ones around?!

[Audio]

[coimiceoir]

A lot bigger!

[This is followed, a minute later, by this picture:]

[Audio]

[hot4engines]

WHOA! I didn't know there were wild cats, too!

[Audio]

[coimiceoir]

The man with the list said there was a tiger. My P D A said it was a big, striped cat. I was going to go see if it would rather live in the forest, since people are scared of it in the city.

[Audio]

[hot4engines]

Probably'd be a good idea! It might get scared if it sees people runnin' from it.

[Audio]

[coimiceoir]

Or if someone throws something at it! People do strange things when they're scared, and I don't want it to get hurt.

[Audio]

[hot4engines]

Yeah, and this way, nobody else'll get hurt, too.

[Audio]

[coimiceoir]

Them too. But there are plenty of people to take care of them. How many people would take care of the tiger instead of just killing it?

[Audio]

[hot4engines]

's a good point. It won't hurt nobody if nobody tries to hurt it, but tigers tend to be seen as scary.
