But maybe... maybe you are right about the punching of this man you vant me to be housing vith. I am thinking this vill happen a lot.

You'd be surprised how much a name like that might cause people to underestimate you, though. Knew a man named Shirley once who was usually halfway through his second kidney punch by the time you wised up to stop laughing.

*Flopping down, crossing his legs, and tilting his head back to grin halfway-upside-down at him.*

'Course...the whole talking cat thing might work to your better advantage that way anyway, is what I'm thinking.

[peppersaltand]

Shirley is funny name... like Rocky. Marshmallow is... ehhh.... [Give him a moment, he legitimately cannot think of a word for it.] ...is pet name. It says 'I am little kitten', impossible to take seriously.

[Have that grumpy expression he pretty much wears 24/7.]

...That is another thing. Why is there place where cats do not talk? You are pixie, you can explain? [Since that's the closest word he can think of to 'human'.]

[tylerwhitney]

Well, that's the point. *Sinking down and curling up around himself, like, well, like a cat.* They're so busy not taking you seriously that it's a slap out of the blue when they suddenly have to.

Hm...come to think of it...I guess it's not that they don't talk, I've met plenty of cats who talked, it's...just not anything recognizable as a learnable language. Vocal cords, y'know. Very different. *pauses* ...'n I'm human, not pixie. Don't know I've ever met one'f those.

[peppersaltand]

... [He mulls this over before snorting in bemusement.] This seems like strategy of colleague I know. [It sure explains a nickname like 'Rocky'.]

I have never met human before. Or pixie. [Color him interested for this at least.] Right now you are speaking same language as me, ah? English. Is same as American cats.. and some others.

[tylerwhitney]

Oh? Do tell? *Pauses* ...Not my strategy, mind you. Never had a nickname like that in my entire life, nuh-uh... *boyish grin?*

Well, I've certainly met cats before, though none as startling articulate in English. I've a friend who's very fond of them. We're more...*wavy hand-gesture*...shaved apes, as the saying goes. Or at least, that's where we're descended from. So they say. You're...Russian, from the sound of it, though?

[peppersaltand]

Is strategy from Rocky Rickaby. [How is it that Mordecai explains it...? Lots of huge words Viktor can't pronounce?] Makes himself funny... useless. But for him, ehh... he is vay he looks.

Hungarian. [He pauses.] Is common mistake. And... yes, I can see ape in you. [Is he smug? Is he just slightly more friendly than his default? It's really hard to tell with him.]

[tylerwhitney]

Rocky Rickaby, eh? Don't think I know the fellow. *laughs a bit* Think I know the type, though!

Oh, Hungarian, I'm sorry. Don't think I've met anyone from Hungary before. Nice place, is it? And yes, I can see lots of cat in you, too, fellow. *Nods wisely!*

((And on that note, the mun is greatly enjoying herself but not feeling well tonight and am headed to bed. Thanks so much!))

[peppersaltand]

You are lucky not to know him. I am... vithout choice in matter.

[Nods very slowly.] Is nice place, but I... I live in America now. St. Louis... in Missouri. Is better place for me.

[[Have a nice sleep! uwu (Mun says while not sleeping until like 4 am...)]
