You're saying you're okay without me wearing clothes here? That means I don't have to be constricted by them! Stupid Kurosuke says I have to wear them, but sometimes Shiro is okay with it. [Only when you guys are actually busy with stuff that you wearing clothing isn't the most important thing ever...]

But what do I do now? This is boring.

Oh, what does this button do? It's shiny!

Mun, I'm hungry now. Is that food? I want your food!

[aprettyred]

It is hard to eat their food.

[ Not that Anna is interested enough to try most of the time. There is a lack of red foods around now. ]

[fantasmal]

It's right there! Meoow!

[Trying to grasp for it, it looks so close! It's right there that beautiful macaroni and cheese. SHE WANTS IT.]

[aprettyred]

[ Is it beautiful macaroni and cheese? Anna thinks it would look better with some ketchup or hotsauce - or just about anything red... ]

Maybe there is some in here.

[ Some that isn't mun-food. ]

[fantasmal]

Waaaah, no she ate it all! Stupid, stupid, stupid mun!

[Sorry, she quit listening right around now. She'll just whimper for a bit now.]

[aprettyred]

[ Welp.

Anna will just sit next to her. The lady was a little weird, but she was nice too.

Even if she made Yata look mature in comparison.... ]

[fantasmal]

[Neko is a cat. She's a human, but she identifies with being a cat, so the company's not unwelcome. She looks over the girl for a moment before decidedly batting on the strings of her hair piece. For now that has her attention.]

[aprettyred]

[ Neko that is right next to her ear.

Anna shivers, but unties her hat and holds it up so the strings dangle. ]

[fantasmal]

[Well, that more or less gets Neko's attention as she continues to bat at the string with her hand. She's more than enthralled by it, and happy that the girl is paying attention to her. Then again, it doesn't take too much to make Neko happy, at least she doesn't think so.]

[aprettyred]

[ She's definitely like a cat. Or a child.

But a cat, definitively. She keeps the hand holding the hat out. ]

[fantasmal]

Meow, meow, meow!

[For a bit longer she plays without before she decides she's bored. It had her attention for a bit, but no more.]

I'm still hungry! Do you have any spicy rice crackers?

[aprettyred]

Ah...

[ She does have pockets, but all she has in them are some red marbles. ]

I don't...

[fantasmal]

[There's a whine from Neko, because she really did want food (as she's always hungry, but...

Are those shinies?]

They're shiny! What are those?

[She might just be making an attempt to delve her hand into Anna's pocket right now because she wants the shinies!]

[aprettyred]

[ Now Neko is a rude cat- ]

Ah!

[ This is strange and uncomfortable, which is why Anna takes four of the five marbles and lets them roll to the floor, keeping the last hopefully hidden in her hand. Play with them on the floor? ]

[fantasmal]

[She's not exactly known for her manners, no...]

Ah, they're shiny and red!

[And down to the floor they go as she bats at them with her fingers. Shiny, shiny, they make noises when they hit one another. But no explosions. Explosions are fun, but it wouldn't be fun to see the shinies explode.]

[whiteandsilver]

That's no good, you should wear clothes properly.

[fantasmal]

No, I don't want to. I like being like this, and mun says I can stay like this!

[whiteandsilver]

But what if you get sick? You won't be able to taste any food.

[fantasmal]

I don't want that either! Tasting food is one of the best parts of eating!

[whiteandsilver]

See? That's why you should dress yourself. Maybe if we found something comfortable, you won't mind using it.

[fantasmal]

I want something loose, but just that. Maybe a dress, nothing more.

[Good luck getting anything more than a loose dress on her. Going commando is the way to go.]

[whiteandsilver]

Yes, we can get you a pretty dress, how about that?

[fantasmal]

Yes, a pretty dress, like cat's fur!

[Pretty = comfortable.]

[whiteandsilver]

It sounds good, it'll surely look cute on you.

[fantasmal]

If Shiro says so, then it must be true!

[As she exclaims, her hands raised in the air with excitement, because food is in her future.]

[whiteandsilver]

[........ With your permission, he'll. remove his jacket and put it on your shoulders to cover you at least a little.

He's not blushing shut up]

[fantasmal]

[Over the shoulders it goes, that means she's clothed now, right? But right, she needs to put her arms in the sleeves at least. That's how she needed to wear it as much as she didn't want to. But food...

Maybe because she was really good and put her arms through the sleeves she can ask for--]

Fish! I was good and put it on can we get fish?

[whiteandsilver]

Sure, We'll get you fish. [And while you think on fish, he'll button up the jacket]

[fantasmal]

Alright, fish! Fish, fish, fish, fish~

[The clothes feel tighter now, but her brain is completely focused on food. Good job, Shiro!]

[nikubaka]

Neko, you have to wear clothes. I don't care what your mun says. [ HE'S THE ONE BABYSITTING OKAY, WE GO BY HIS RULES ]

[fantasmal]

Stupid Kurosuke, I won't wear them! [Nope, she will run around freely one hundred percent naked!]

[nikubaka]

Stupid cat, sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do! It's called being decent and responsible. [ Girl, don't make him wrap you in another kimono. ]

[fantasmal]

[No, no, no, she will just to her impression of a meow and hiss at him for now...]

I'm fine just like this. Mun says it's okay, so it's okay for me to be like this!

[Clothes suck, and so does Kuroh's dressing her in kimonos. Don't make her create illusions and have him run into walls! But since he's not threatening Shiro, that's not a good use of power.]

[nikubaka]

Then your mun's just as bad! [ Like mun like.....character idk. ]

Well, fine. Enjoy starvation. [ Because he's not cooking for any naked girls! Let's see if kitty takes the bait... ]

[fantasmal]

[Mun just doesn't mind, that's all.] No, she's not bad, she's clothed like everyone else!

[Which is why she listens to her, also some other things, but Neko hasn't figured out why she listens to her mun. Maybe mun is one of those strain things or something... 'cause she's not affiliated with a king.

BUT NOW HE HAS HER ATTENTION! He may be stupid Kuro, but stupid Kuro makes good food, and cares for Neko and Shiro...

And Neko doesn't even think to test him at all, because food...]

If I wear a jacket, can Kuro make me food?

[nikubaka]

[ Yes good. He doesn't hide his grin. ] That sounds like a fair arrangement, doesn't it?

[fantasmal]

Can I have your white rice and eggs?

[Yes, that is her saying this is a fair agreement. Now fix her food.]

[nikubaka]

If you promise to stay still and keep the jacket on after you are done eating.

[fantasmal]

[She makes a little pout before resigning. It's Kuro's food. She wants it, and he's strict. But for now she agrees. After all, she's more concerned with what she can get if she agrees.]

Yes, I promise!

[For now.]

[yashirou]

...Did you forget about your promise to me "to not show yourself naked in front of men" again? You should still keep that up.

[ giving a slightly strained smile, but. It's Neko; he can be lenient with her so long as she makes attempts. ]

-- I'll give you some food if you do, okay?

[fantasmal]

[Oh, oh no, she broke a promise. Clothes are restricting and she doesn't like them, but she hates it when she makes Shiro sad. After all, Shiro's kitty should make him happy as his friend.

Still, she pouts as a protest until food is offered.]

Can we get fish? Then I'll wear whatever Shiro wants me to wear!

[yashirou]

Of course! We can get shrimp and sushi too.

[ he's hungry, too, so it works for him! ]

Can you wear your usual, then? Ah, not just the jacket, I mean.

[fantasmal]

Shrimp and sushi, yay!

[She will wear whatever he wants her too if he's going to get her all that!]

Yes, I'll wear my usual!

[And she won't complain either, well, as long as she does get her fish.]

[clairestanfield]

I guess it's alright as long as you don't cause traffic accidents. You gotta think about how many people might be dumb and stare, not that they wouldn't anyway. What I'm saying is are you married?

[It's hard to tell where he actually started and stopped talking. It's very possible he said more than that, but it would all have been basically the same kind of nonsense.]

[fantasmal]

It doesn't matter if people stare at me. I just don't like clothes, but Shiro and Kuro say I need to wear them. [She's not quite understanding that logic of why it's bad that people stare... why it's indecent that she's not wearing clothing. All Neko knows is that it's bad apparently.]

Married? What's that? Wait, Shiro says Kuro is his wife, that's married, right? I belong to Shiro, so I'm married to him!

[She's actually missing the point, but yes, she is Shiro's cat!]

[clairestanfield]

Oh, you're a cat?

Well I was gonna propose... Wait, it's still like this - I mean, that woman is still that Laforet guy's... Nevermind. Anyway - Even if you were his cat, what if he like.. Wanted you to have kittens? I can't think of anybody that would do that kind of thing with their cat.

[Is this logic hitting home? He decides to give up completely on the idea of explaining to her why a naked lady of any proportions, let alone hers, might cause traffic accidents. She may well be touched, is what Claire figures.]

[fantasmal]

[This takes a bit of thought for Neko as she tries to put things together. Does that mean Shiro wants Kuro to have kittens?

But kittens would mean more friends for them right? But Neko belongs to Shiro, and no one else, and she doesn't want to share him.]

Kittens? It'd mean more friends, but I don't want to share Shiro!

[clairestanfield]

Share him, wha- With another cat, you mean?

[Claire has never had an actual conversation with a cat before. Usually it goes a lot smoother - he has some fish or milk and he sets it out and pets the cat and they both go on their way later. He never thought much beyond that.]

[fantasmal]

With anyone!

[She's really possessive of her friend, really possessive, but then again, she'd also do just about anything for him too, so yes.]
