it doesn't hurt, i just have the ears and tail
it probably wouldn't be a good idea to eat another one though, i think. being a full cat here sounds like it'd be kind of hard to deal with

[icanhearscreams]

Probably not.

... Do you think it's just cat features or other animals, too?

[centile]

i don't know, i think more than just cats makes sense
maybe someone could become part dog, or get wings?

[icanhearscreams]

Honestly I wouldn't mind being a bird some days.

But I don't know if we really get to choose.

[centile]

probably not. i do have another of those chocolates though, if you want to try

do you want to be a bird because they can fly?

[icanhearscreams]

They're kind of like fish.

In the way they move, I mean. They can go in three dimensions easily, not like us on the ground.

And maybe it'd be good to get away for a while if I could fly.

[centile]

that's true. they move really gracefully too, with the wind and water

what do you want to get away from?

[icanhearscreams]

Everything.

The ocean too I guess. I keep waiting by it, even though I know that's stupid.

[centile]

are you waiting for someone?

[he vaguely knows people die and wake up there, though he kind of hopes this is a matter of waiting for someone from home. not the reality, sadly.]

[icanhearscreams]

Someone I care for very much died.

I'm waiting for him to come back.

[centile]

[ah. so the worse choice.]

i don't think waiting is stupid then.


jun, would flying make you feel better? i can't really do much, but i can help you fly for a little while, if you wanted

[icanhearscreams]

I don't know. It was a dumb idea, I guess. But...

... How would you do that?

[centile]

it's something i've been learning to do more, but i can give people some of my power for a little while?
i gave some to robby a couple of times
and you could use it to float and fly, i think. i can do that, so i you should be able to

[icanhearscreams]

... I don't know. I don't known if it'd even make me feel better at all.

Nothing seems to work lately.

[centile]

we can try, if you want. even if it doesn't work that's okay, i think. maybe you just need time to be sad

do you want to talk about it?

[icanhearscreams]

... I guess it's worth a try. And yeah, that's what people are saying.

I... don't know. He was sick but didn't tell me. So when this place made him older it caught up with him.

[centile]

okay, i'll come over

[which he'll start moving that way now! but until then]

i see. this place can be pretty cruel
what's his name?

[icanhearscreams]

Falco. He's Falco.

... I miss him more than I can say.

[centile]

[oh. he needs a second there, he didn't realize-]

i met him. he helped me when i was in a trap in the forest

he's really kind

[icanhearscreams]

He is. He's kind and strong and brave and

I don't know what to do without him

It hurts

[centile]

[well, time to move faster towards jun's house. this is a lot, and frankly he knows there's very little he can do or say but that doesn't mean he shouldn't try. or just... be there, until asked not to be. something.

jun deserves the effort. falco, he would probably want people there for jun too.]

does talking about it feel better or worse?

[icanhearscreams]

It's hard to tell when everything hruts

[He doesn't bother to correct the typo. He's stopped caring for the moment.]

[centile]

[that's fair, and it's about now that mob reaches jun's place. the roost? regardless he'll knock, turning back to his omni to type:]

i'm here

[icanhearscreams]

[Actually no. It's a small little house. It's kind of cramped, but he lets Mob in when the other boy knocks. He's cleared Manabu's blankets off of the couch and put them in a rough pile, but it's a bit messy with how many people live here.]

... Hi.

[He steps aside to let the other boy through.]

... I didn't mean to make you have to go through the trouble...

[centile]

[mob glances around a single moment before offering a little bow and coming in. of course a good look at jun, since he's worried about the kid. understandably. dealing with grief is a hell of a time.]

It's okay. I want to be here. [he says with the simplicity of fact.] I'm sorry I didn't know how hard things have been for you.
