Mun is slowly getting caught up on recent episodes

[cleverkit]

[Double facepalm.] My alternate self is almost literally accepting candy from a stranger. Please tell me I was never that bad in my timeline.

My mun's dying laughing over here...

[cleverkit]

I'm glad someone's getting a kick out of this.

[dork_of_keys]

It could be worse, I guess. Your mun could be looking to tempt that Tookit guy to a game...

[cleverkit]

How could it--don't answer that. I do not want to know. [Steadfastly not hearing that suggestion at all.]

I mean, you think she or Wilykat would know better! What were they think... ing...

[She just stares ahead blankly as sudden realization hits.]

Oh gods, I'm turning into Snarf.

[dork_of_keys]

[Sora just stares for a moment at her sudden epiphany and then starts laughing. He's poked around the mun's headspace enough to know who Snarf is and Wilykit's fretting becomes a lot more amusing with that context.]

[cleverkit]

[The double facepalm is back with a vengeance. Well, except for the moment where Kit just silently reaches out and punches Sora in the shoulder. But then she's back to facepalming forever.]

[dork_of_keys]

[He'll take that because he does kind of deserve it.]

At least they've learned there lesson from all that? Besides, there are probably worse things they could have done.

[cleverkit]

[You're darn right he does. So there!]

I guess so... Still doesn't excuse them for going along with it in the first place, though.

[dork_of_keys]

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

[cleverkit]

[Kit coughs awkwardly, thinking of a few "mistakes" she and her own brother may or may not have made in the past. Glass houses, anyone?]

Maybe I am being a little hard on them...

[dork_of_keys]

[Yeah, Sora halfway suspected that. It's part of the reason he brought up mistakes. That and it's true. It does happen sometimes.]

Maybe a little.

[emax_guarddog]

[Spying dog is spying.]

[cleverkit]

[And now Kit's getting that hinky feeling, like she's being watched.]

Who's there?

[emax_guarddog]

[More like what. Just a big, apparently normal dog with a scarred face.]

[cleverkit]

[...Huh. Wilykit's still on her guard, because centuries of instinct towards dogs can't be ignored just like that, but she tries to be friendly.]

Uh, hey there, big guy. Where'd you come from? And what happened to your face?

[emax_guarddog]

[That's fine, he doesn't like cats much, but you are obviously not just a cat.

He barks once.]

[cleverkit]

[Well, he hasn't attacked yet, so that's a good sign. That seemed like a friendly bark, at least.]

Heh, you're not so bad, are you? So what are you doing here all on your own?

[emax_guarddog]

[He usually doesn't attack unless provoked...he's just easy to provoke.

Tilting his head, he considers her. Not like he needs anyone with him.]

[cleverkit]

[Oh, that's perfectly reassuring.]

Don't you have any friends? Aren't you lonely?

[Sorry, bud. She just doesn't get the lone wolf appeal very much.]

[emax_guarddog]

[Well she's not likely to do any of the things ranging from hitting hit with a newspaer to taking a shovel to his head so she should be fine?

He's not a lone wolf, he's a standalone guard unit...but yes if he likes someone he gets lonely.]

[cleverkit]

[What kind of brute would smack a dog upside the head with a shovel like that? That's just cruel!]

Well, you can hang out with me, if you don't mind spending time with a cat, that is. How's that sound?

[emax_guarddog]

[The same brute that took a blowtorch to his face and is no longer living.

He tilts his head as though considering this, then walks close enough to sit in front of her.]

[seesbeyond]

[Head tilt?]

Alternate self? [WHICH ONE ARE YOU? Hm, whiskers, he'll just squint a little and scrutinize and--]

... Kit?

[cleverkit]

[Well, this is slightly awkward. Hopefully she didn't just get the other Wilykit and Wilykat in trouble now.]

Yeah, it's me. It wasn't that hard to figure out, was it? I'm still tied for shortest member of the team, no matter what.

[seesbeyond]

[Now he feels dumb. No way she could be anyone else DERP. Well, Lion-O is way derpier than his alternate self, so whatever.]

Right. Of course. Where's Kat though? You guys are inseparable.

[A pause.]

Where I'm from, at least.

[cleverkit]

[To be fair, the Lion-O she knows has his moments, too.]

[She grins.] No, we're just like that where I'm from, too. [And causing just as much trouble, if not more...]

It's all my mun's fault we're separated right now, to be honest. She claims it's an "experiment in character growth," but I think she's just being lazy.

[seesbeyond]

Theeeeeey... tend to do that from time to time.

Be lazy, I mean.

[Lion-O knows from firsthand experience.]

[cleverkit]

Well, it's still rude of them. Bad enough they stick us wherever they feel like, but would it really be too much to ask to make things a little bit easier on us?

[seesbeyond]

Don't look at me. I don't even pretend to understand mine.
