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.

This is just how I look!

[And noticeably manipulative. Hence the kiss to his knuckles that follow.]

I'm going with Mary to pick her up.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Damn it all how did he just get steamrolled over this stupid cat?]

...If it pees on anything, it's going back, got it?

[forallyoucare]

She. And she can't go back. Her owner is allergic.

[Also? Not his dad. Remember?]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Shits given? None.]

It can go to a shelter if it starts pissing on things.

[forallyoucare]

[No! That's not how this works!]

I don't remember nominating you to make my decisions.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[He'll follow you to the ends of the Earth and back, but this is just plain ridiculous.]

This effects everyone, you realize, right?

[forallyoucare]

[How often does he want anything for himself, Judas? How often does he take anything he wants? The answer is never. Of course he gets angry now.]

I won't let it. If I can herd you lot, I can mind a cat.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[And this is why the Twelve are so used to J-J spats. Because they happen far too often.]

I'm ... well not fine with giving it a shot, but I will. I just don't want it scratching and peeing on things!

[forallyoucare]

Get your own tent then!

[Spats indeed, and vicious, really. Only Mary can seem to calm them down at times.]

[1/3]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[2/3]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[3/3]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Jesus always does know how to hit him hardest. Judas' expression goes from shocked to hurt to pissed off in just a few seconds.]

Fine. I'm sure Mary will be glad to have you.

[Yep, and he'll storm off with that.]

[forallyoucare]

I'm sure she would!

I'm sure she will!

[Dont you walk off on him!]

I'm going to ask her right now!

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Judas is just going to give Jesus a symbol from over his shoulder and while it's a kind of salute, it's the one fingered kind.]

[forallyoucare]

[Judas pissed him off sometimes more than he can bear. So you know what? Fine. He goes off to move his tent and get the cat. And when he comes back later with her, he's just going to totally ignore and not at all glare at Judas over her soft black fur.]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Easy not to glare - Judas isn't there when Jesus returns. He's out in town dealing with a new tent and supplies. When he comes back, backpack full, a few hours later, Thad ends up being the one to bring the supplies into the center of camp while Judas stays on the outskirts.

Everyone ignores them having a spat for the most part.]

[forallyoucare]

[Well that is totally unfair. How can Jesus be pissed off if Judas isn't there? Well. He can't. Miryam, named after his mother, not the other Mary, sort of takes the sourness out of him. So when he does find Judas later... It's with a kitten in his arms.]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Judas glances up from the notebook he's writing in, clearly some dollar store knock off, but his eyes narrow at the sight of the kitten. He seriously doesn't want to hear Jesus gloat or get sassy with him right now.]

[forallyoucare]

Her name is Miryam.

[How long have you known him? Jesus Christ doesn't gloat, jeez.]

Want to pet her?

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[No, he whines, gets pissy, has temper tantrums, and sometimes gets preachy in all the wrong ways.

In other words, he's human, in Judas' eyes.]

...No, thanks. [Grump.

Ignoring the curious kitten trying to climb out of Jesus' arms.]

[forallyoucare]

Oh.

{He also forgives and forgets very easily. And that, certainly, is not human. It's better than. ]

Okay. Can I sit?

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[No, Jesus is better than almost any. It's why Judas would willingly follow him. It's why he loves him.]

...sure.

[Might be why sometimes he thinks Jesus is naive, but not where it counts.]

[forallyoucare]

[It's not really his fault if the kitten squirms out of his arms to nose at the notebook.]

We could do three lectures in the next town. It's big enough and my cousin lives there. He'd let us crash.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Using the edge of the notebook to gently try to nudge the kitten away. ...Cute little thing.]

Think he has enough room for all of us, or at least can let us take over the yard?

[Easier to talk about 'work.']

[forallyoucare]

Probably. Or at least his living room. You'd like him, but he can get a little preachy.

[Runs in the family? The kitten is more interested in Judas' fingers now. ]
