New muse is pretty excited to play

[bendthekey]

I know, I know. Sorry, but I can't help it. Just think about it from my perspective? I actually get to do things and see places and maybe even meet some nice people. It won't be that bad, really. It's like getting to go on holiday or something! I know things will be pretty different wherever I go, but I think I'm ready for it. I won't embarrass you, promise!

It's like Master always used to say: "Life is just a house full of locked doors and you have all the keys. So don't be stupid and unlock the wrong ones, idiot." [She laughs a bit, ears twitching.] I think it's supposed to be encouraging.

[thoughtful pause] ...The "idiot" part was probably just for me, though.

[tokino]

So he was a m-magic user?

[bendthekey]

Yes! Magic is in almost everything. Keymasters aren't the only kind, though.

[She heard that stutter though.] Do you have magic where you come from?

[tokino]

It's not really a good thing in Sisa... I guess you're not a ribika?

[bendthekey]

A ribeye-what?

[tokino]

Ribika. Like me.

[Points to his ears.]

A cat.

[bendthekey]

Oh, um, I'm a Felinus! That means I'm a human who descends from felines.

[tokino]

...that's... odd.

[Smooth, Tokino.]

[bendthekey]

...It is? Why? There are Canines and Reptiles and Aviaries, too.

[tokino]

What are those?

[bendthekey]

Well, they're like me, but instead of felines they're descended from dogs, reptiles, and birds. Are their only cat-people in your world?

[tokino]

Yeah, there's just ribika in Sisa.

[bendthekey]

Oh. I can't even think of a place where it's just Felines. What are things like there?

[tokino]

It's... complicated, but we make due.
