Too bad. You can't return.

[ and yes you are homeless, is what he wants to add ]

[...A cat is talking to him.

...Fuck, he's been captured by the Union and he's hallucinating. That would explain why he can't remember how he got here.

Some of M-21's anger abates, and he takes a small breath, studying the...cat, trying to figure out if he's really been drugged or if his mind is being manipulated.]

Why not.

[Testing the waters, checking to see how the cat will react]

[ the cat hmphs ]

You've never even tried to get out of here, have you, human?

[ then the cat starts sniffing at M-21 ]

Hm? Your scent doesn't smell fully human.

[Like he would admit anything that could seen as a weakness to an outsider.

But before he can reply, the cat starts sniffing around his feet and M-21 eyes him, not backing away, flexing his hands, preparing to transform his nails if need be.

The cat's next words though, make M-21 stiffen instinctively. Being found out so quickly... And there was no way the cat wouldn't have seen that, standing so close to him. Shit.

So. Damage control and distract.]

Right. [dry] Your nose is wrong.

[ mu mu. the human (?) became stiff.

the cat stops sniffing, looks up at M-21, stares

and says confidently ]

My nose is right. [ that's how he distinguishes Ayakashi and Human after all ]

Humans have a certain stench but you somehow don't have that full stench. I'm interested to know why.

[That kind of confidence... No, the cat was definitely sure and he wasn't going to be able to convince him otherwise.

And hah, his scent gave him away? He should have known, considering what had been done to him. M-21 grits his teeth, his gaze flickering only for a second.]

What are you?

[Something modified by the Union, or something else? But if the cat had been modified by the Union, he'd know what a modified human smelled like. And he wasn't going to touch the cat's question.]

[ dodging his question, are we? Oh well he'll find a way to make him spill the beans.

The cat turns away and hmphs ]

Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking what I am?

[...Pfft, no. Not his real name anyway.]

Kim Chin-Mae.

[And he'll give a short bow here. He can be polite when people aren't trying to kill him or hurt the people close to him.

So tell him what you are, cat.]

[ stares at M-21. That was surprising ]

Well then. I am a magnificent and strong Ayakashi or Youkai, take your pick.

[M-21 catches the stare and files it away. The cat was expecting another reaction? In a different situation, yes, he would have, but right now, information gathering is more important.

Which leads him to the unfamiliar words. It takes him a second to recognise them as Japanese after spending an extended time in Korea, and a little longer to remember their meaning.

...

Shit. He shouldn't be that surprised considering he was talking to a cat, and it was the better option compared to the cat being connected with the Union in some way.

Seeing his previous experience with 'vampires' and how nobles were a set apart from them, it made M-21 wonder just how different the cat was from his knowledge about them. But if the cat was calling himself that, maybe he was closer to what M-21 thought.]

Ayakashi, then.

[And he'll not pick at the subject of what he is]

[ alright. next.. back to his own question. ]

So? What are you besides a human?

[ ... ]

I do not know why you are being so cautious but I do not have an ulterior motive.

[...Fuck.]

[M-21 eyes him for a second before letting out a small sigh.] I have reasons for being cautious. [Being found again, the people he cares about being put in danger again, being dragged back to the Union to be experimented on again.

But...that doesn't seem to apply here, does it?

Still, he's paranoid for a reason.]

I'm supposed to take your word you don't have an ulterior motive?

[ the cat looks him in the eye ]

Look here, human. I am a magnificent Ayakashi with a powerful real form. If I had an ulterior motive, I would've long attempted to knock you out and eat you.

[ ... ] If you refuse to believe me I suppose I could...

[ a puff of smoke appears-- ]

[ -- and.... the cat becomes a teenage human girl! ]

Now that I'm in this human form I am more vulnerable to any attacks. Anyway, my point is that I do not have any ulterior motives.

Edited 2012-11-03 16:54 (UTC)

[M-21 tenses at 'powerful real form', and his eyes narrow at 'eat you'.

Seeing the puff of smoke, he leaps away and lands a couple of feet away, his claws out.

Every sense primed on the puff of smoke, M-21 tries to see what the cat has transformed into, prepared for the ensuing fight. As soon as the cloud clears -]

What.

[...Human girl.

That wasn't something he'd expected.]

[M-21 eyes the cat's new form warily, watching for a trick.]

...You just told me you're weaker like this. [Flat, but fainter than before. This does not compute. He's being lured into a false sense of security, right?]

[ gahhh human don't make it so hard for the ~~poor~~ cat ]

Yes because humans are more vulnerable to any attacks.

Edited 2012-11-04 00:11 (UTC)

[ ... ]

You don't believe me, do you? Really, humans are so troublesome. I just wanted to know what else you are and I have to transform into a human to try to convince you.

And you're still not convinced.

Edited 2012-11-04 00:15 (UTC)

[It's his nature to be difficult with strangers who try to get information about him.

...M-21 just snorted. You haven't met Frankenstein, cat. But he's an exception.]

No, I don't.

Transforming into a human is supposed to convince me to talk to you?

[He's used to transformations resulting in beings bigger than he is. But, to the cat, maybe it is impressive?]

[ if M-21 notices, the cat either puts one hand behind the head or on the waist ]

Fool. How else do you expect me to convince you?

My magnificent real form will only cause you to be further cautious of me.

Edited 2012-11-04 07:49 (UTC)

[He notices, but it doesn't look very threatening so he won't overtly react to it.]

I don't.

[...That arrogance really is something M-21 wants to poke at, too used to using his opponent's pride or anger against them.

So now he smirks.]

I'm supposed to believe that? You don't have another form, do you?

[So stop trying to intimidate him with that lie.

Yeah. He's used to people only having one transformation/alternate form that progresses. :| Have fun freaking him out/arguing with him more.]

[ the cat twitches at M-21's doubt

Have a glare ]

Don't be too full of yourself, boy. I have in fact another human form and my own real form.

If I want to I could also transform into you.

[Heh. He saw that twitch, cat. Getting annoyed now?

...Oh. Did the cat just-? Now he knows you're lying through your teeth.]

I don't believe you. [An unimpressed look.

That goes back into a smirk.] Prove it. [Because if the cat just admitted he only had two more forms, then he can't transform into him.]

[ the cat's a bit pissed right now but he knows very well that he has to control it. If not, no answer for him ]

Prove what? That I can turn into you?

Why should I waste my time observing how you look like and then try transforming?

[ all this just to get an answer? He doesn't think it's worth it ]

[If the cat's stalling and looking like he doesn't want to do it...] So you can't look like me.

[But huh. He's never heard of transformations where you could mimic someone else before ~~And his mun dies at the realisation of something connected to his canon's recent chapters~~]
