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.

...Jesus, there's thirteen of us moving constantly from place to place. How do you seriously think a cat is going to deal with us all?

And I think Phil's allergic.

[just_a_bruise]

It's not just boxes. Anything they can fit into works. Just be sure you're not allergic to it. My mun is and it was hard on her to rehome her cat because of it.

[hescaresmeso]

They can be calming creatures, too. I'm sure you could attract a small stray using one of the boxes.

[Maybe he wanted a cat after seeing some of the videos she had sent him.]

[forallyoucare]

[How allergic can a person be with a walking benedryl (and wine dispensary and shock paddles and hydrofoil) hanging around them all the time?]

So I'll keep it in my tent.

[forallyoucare]

They seem to mostly attract trash.

...and ants.

[hescaresmeso]

Maybe we can find a clean box then. [She hopes you're referring to boxes anyways.] Don't worry, if you want a feline companion, I'm certain there's a way.

[JC seemed to like strays enough with a camp full of them, so he'd probably like to take in a feline stray as well.]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

...And when we're on the move?

Don't tell me you're some kind of animal tamer on top of everything else. No cat is that well behaved.

[forallyoucare]

[The usual way would be to go to a shelter and pick up a cat. Trouble was, without a permanent address and, lately, being on a few Most Wanted lists, he wasn't exactly going to get audited by the humane society as having proper credentials for cat ownership.]

Yeah?

[Sometimes he's such a child.]

Andrew's backpack smells like fish. That might work.

[forallyoucare]

I tamed you lot.

[Just pointing it out there, Judas!]

I think I can handle a cat. Look how far even John has come!

[forallyoucare]

Yeah that would be pretty bad, you're right. I should visit some cats first.

[hescaresmeso]

[None of them had a real address, living in tents and moving about, so no one in the group could pick out a cat from the shelter.]

I think it would. Boxes, bags - cats like things to hide in. [If she could get her hands on catnip, she would put some in Judas' bag to peeve him so.]

[idreadbetrayingyou]

...!

You didn't tame me!

John on the other hand you definitely did.

And Simon is still as untamed as it gets without dipping into shitty hygiene.

[just_a_bruise]

We don't have too many cats where I'm from, but I remember some people are only allergic to long haired ones. So a short haired cat would be best.

And black. Black cats have the lowest adoption rate of any color, you know. It's really best to fight that kind of thing if you can. [She would know - her entire fandom doesn't like her because she's not white.]

[forallyoucare]

[Now. Jesus doesn't read thoughts. But he doesn't have to either. He doesn't know why Judas and Mary hold such animosity towards each other. He really doesn't.]

I wonder if I couldn't go on Craigslist and see if a cat needed a new home... It would be easier than trying to catch one.

[forallyoucare]

Simon is a special case.

[And he did too train you.]

He might actually be a bit beyond training. Though Peter has helped that.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

He's definitely 'special', all right.

[Grumble.

No you did not.]

Between Peter and James, they could humanize anyone. Even Simon.

[hescaresmeso]

[Mary knows why, but she won't say it because she doesn't care much for Judas with how he speaks to her.]

Since when have things ever been so easy? [She gives him a bit of a pointed look with a tilt of the head.]

[forallyoucare]

He's human, he's just sort of the embodiment of a different sort of human than you.

[Yes. Yes that's a wink.]

[forallyoucare]

Who says that they have to be so hard?

[He takes her hand because he's that sort of guy.]

People assume that anything good must come at great cost. It doesn't. Look at what Judas can do by rubbing some pennies together!

[idreadbetrayingyou]

[Judas hides a grin by dropping his head.]

Yep, that's definitely one way to put it.

Look, Jesus... this cat thing. We can give it a shot, but don't get upset if it won't stay with us or anything. Okay?

[hescaresmeso]

Seems to be all Judas can do right. [Mary gives his hand a small squeeze, the humor there in her eyes. She can respect Judas, but that's really all she'll do. JC was the only link they seemed to have in common.]

Go find a feline companion on Craigslist then. If you can't, we'll look around the city for one as an alternate solution.

[forallyoucare]

You know I'm not a child right? You don't need to console me on pet loss just yet.

[He had one overbearing father (and one kind step-father). He did not need any more.]

[forallyoucare]

[Forgive the sigh. The fighting gets to him. He's a pacifist after all. Even with his temper.]

I wonder where Matthew left his MacBook.

[idreadbetrayingyou]

I know. I just think you're going to pout if this cat runs off.

[forallyoucare]

I'll keep that in mind. I have a tendency to collect the unwanted.
