Canon: Jesus Christ Superstar Arena Tour

[forallyoucare]

I keep thinking that, perhaps, one day I'd like to own a cat.  Something small and little that can mostly look after itself.

The road can get lonely.

And we actually have a lot of PBR boxes laying around.  According to Youtube, cats love to push themselves into boxes.

Now to slip away before Judas finds out and tries to stop me. Do you want to come?

[hescaresmeso]

He'll probably think we're off to do something else. [Given her profession and all.] And yes, of course I'd love to come.

What's the address on it?

[forallyoucare]

Well that wouldn't be so bad. I don't need to check with anyone.

[Zoom! Over his head!]

It's close. Just two miles or so.

[hescaresmeso]

[You're so innocent, JC.]

Two miles? We've walked further before. [Mary reaches down to take his hand and leans up against him. With that pose, someone wouldn't think they were off to go pick up a kitty.]

[forallyoucare]

And have further still to go.

[You know what? He loves hand holding. He just does. It's wonderful. And Mary has nice hands to hold. He rubs a thumb along her knuckles and tugs her off.]

She can eat some of my food if Judas frowns more than usual.

[hescaresmeso]

I think his face is stuck in that frowning face. [That was probably only Mary's perspective since Judas didn't care for her.]

Do you know what you might name it? [She will hit you if it's Judas' name or one of his apostles. Name it Tiger, JC. That's a cool name.]

[forallyoucare]

[Why would he name the cat Judas? That would get confusing!]

I'm going to name her after my mum I think.

[So. Another Mary. And that's not confusing how?]

[hescaresmeso]

[They could put little dreads in the cat's hair until he gets the same frowny face - then the cat and Judas would match!]

...Give a different meaning to 'cat-calling' then if you're calling it's name and I answer I suppose.

[She grins at the terrible joke, and then puts an arm around JC's waist as they walk.]

[forallyoucare]

Perhaps Miryam then.

[Mary, but a different variation.]

Otherwise....you're right. That might be awkward. The Twelve would be confused.

[hescaresmeso]

Miryam is pretty. If it's a girl kitty, you should name her that.

[What for a boy though?]

Joesph for a boy kitty maybe?

[forallyoucare]

[He has a feeling it's a girl but still...]

What was your father's name?

wikipedia don't fail me ok

[hescaresmeso]

[She's surprised at the question. No one asks about her past, only about what's going on in the present and what it's like in her job. It's a minute before she answers.]

...Cyrus. It doesn't sound very cat-like though.

Did they actually name her dad? Awesome!

[forallyoucare]

I think it would be perfect.

[He likes hugs too. And Mary is great for hugs. Even while walking.]

I uh... Have one request though.

That's the only thing I could find on it. :>

[hescaresmeso]

[Mary looks up at him, the feathers in her hair sweeping across her cheekbones.]

And what would be that request, JC?

[forallyoucare]

If there's room in your tent....think I can stay?

[hescaresmeso]

There's always room in my tent. [She gives him a smile, though it's not the sultry kind she would give a 'customer'.]

Imagine the little kitten curled up sleeping between us.

[forallyoucare]

[He can imagine it, and it makes him grin.]

She'll love it. And I'll make sure she won't wet any of your things.

[hescaresmeso]

Maybe the owner will let us have the cat's things to bring back with us. [She looks as optimistic about this as she feels!]

I like this idea. Why didn't you think of it sooner?

[forallyoucare]

If not, we can see if the thrift shop or the shelter has anything too. And why didn't I? [Sleeping in Mary's tent sounds like a really great idea. She's clean and smells nice and she'd never kick him in her sleep.]

[hescaresmeso]

[See what happens when you look at things with a brighter outlook, Judas? Things get worked out.]

I like that idea. And if she wets things, we can box train her in Judas' tent. [Her laugh should indicate that she wouldn't really, but the thought itself is amusing.]

[forallyoucare]

[He gives her a 'be nice' look but he smiles just the same. Jesus isn't going to be staying there anymore anyhow. He never did get around to getting his own tent. He usually just shared with Judas or James. But if Mary had room and none of her girls minded, Jesus wouldn't mind staying with her at all. It even sounded fun! And she likes cat Go figure!]

Box training...we should get some books at the library.

[hescaresmeso]

[The more the merrier! JC was always welcomed into her tent no matter what her girls said. The trip to the home isn't terribly long, with talk about the kitten and what they'd do with it taking up the time.]

This is the place? [She opens up the information page again on her phone.] Must be nice living in a decent place like this.

[Her tent was nice, but it must be so much nicer not living like a nomad.]

[forallyoucare]

[Jesus' family had never been rich so their small home in Nazareth had been cramped above the wood shop and store front his dad used to support them. He had been fond of woodworking himself right up until he started this little journey. But he likes the wandering life too. He likes the tents and when they can afford hostels, those too. And various wealthy members of the Occupy cause sometimes put him up too.

He checks the address and nods before knocking, and a moment later, a girl of ten or so answers with a smile. It's her mother that brings out the cat into the front garden when they inquire and immediately, it's obvious how sweet Jesus is on her.]

[hescaresmeso]

[The girl looks on as her mother takes the cat out to the garden, unable to pet her herself. Mary squats down to look over JC's interactions with the cat.]

She seems quite sweet. Doesn't call to a name I hope, since he's already picked out one.

[forallyoucare]

[Luckily, cats are clever, already named or not. Unfortunately, Jesus isn't quite recognized and... Well. It's implied he's a bit slow. The woman thinks it's nice that Mary is minding him so carefully.]

We'll take excellent care of her.
