test... drive...?

[mewtation]

[ WHOEVER YOU ARE, wherever you sleep: there is a cat in your bed.

or. well. something that looks sort of like one...? if cats were four and a half feet tall and roughly humanoid. um. ]

[ okay fine, whatever, he didn't want to go to sleep anyway ]

[ nah just kidding. hey lucky how do you feel about dogs because there's a giant black great dane snarling at you, and a black haired and blue eyed kid behind him. ]

Titus, stay. We don't know if it has fleas.

[mewtation]

[ gross. not that the beast can touch him, but still. flicking an ear in their direction, completely unruffled ]

I would be more concerned about your mutt.

[ the "voice" is a dry tenor ]

[shitstarter]

I would be more concerned about yourself, if I were you. Just what are you doing here, and how did you get past the defenses?

[ grrrr grrrr ]

[mewtation]

[ blinking one blue slit-pupiled eye open to look at them ]

I'm attempting to sleep, obviously. Those were supposed to be defenses?

[shitstarter]

A formality at this point, honestly. It's a system in the works.

[ a beat. ]

If you wish to sleep then find another place to sleep, stray. This is not your home.

[mewtation]

[ eye shuts again. it's cute how you think he cares ]

My home is where I say it is.

[shitstarter]

Not if it is someone else's! That is my bed, beast.

[mewtation]

I don't mind sharing, monkey.

[ there is the distinct sense he's laughing at you ]

[shadesbetween]

[Huh. Not that something in his bed other than him isn't already unexpected but this is very unexpected what on earth is this?

Don't mind while he carefully shifts, trying to get a better angle for inspecting without disturbing the fuzzy thing.]

[shitstarter]

I should not have to share what is mine.

[ UGH. he would just have titus 'sic you but you look distinctly alien and you talk which means you're probably out of your league titus ): ]

[mewtation]

[ it flicks an ear at him, but otherwise seems unbothered.

it's definitely feline; the loose curl it's lying in obstructs things somewhat, but it looks like it's probably bipdeal. if Colress is familiar with Mew or Mewtwo there's a decent resemblance in build, although his bed invader is a lot fuzzier, the paws more handlike. it's coat is blue-grey, with a subtle tabby pattern. ]

[mewtation]

Dog owners... It will build character.

[shitstarter]

Tt. I am not just a dog owner. I own a cat, too. And a cow. And I will share my bed with my cat, and no other.

[ a beat, and he's fiddling with his neck chain ]

[mewtation]

[ opening both eyes and rolling over onto his back, paws (hands? there are definitely thumbs there) drawn up against his chest and pupils blown wide in a blatant attempt to look cute. for all Damian's comments about him being a stray he does look very sleek and well cared for. ]

Surely with so many you wouldn't mind one more?

[shadesbetween]

[He's familiar enough to note the resemblance, though he can't for the life of him remember enough off the top of his sleepy head to spot some of the major differences. Did he have those notes stuffed away somewhere? He'll have to look.

Later.

Right now he's going to. Cautiously try and exit the bed to find something for new note-taking.]

[shitstarter]

[ . . . . . . do not

ugh

fuck ]

—that is for me to decide. It could be arranged, but you hardly give me reason to take you in. You intrude upon my house, take over my bed, have no manners. . . . You're hardly endearing.

[mewtation]

[ gently oozes into the warm spot he left behind

...unfortunately, when he does find something, he will discover he can't quite remember how writing is supposed to work. and the likely perpetrator is blinking innocent blue eyes at him. ]

[shadesbetween]

[Well that's very worrying he's not that sleepy is he seriously why this when there's an interesting new--

Oh.]

Hello.

[mewtation]

I am a cat.

[ "said" very much like that is a valid reason for all those things, but after a moment he continues ]

I'm also currently something of a fugitive, which means I that in most cases it is safer to ask forgiveness than to wait for permission.

[mewtation]

[ very politely ]

Hello. My apologies, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to keep a record of me.

[shitstarter]

Hmph. And why should I care about a fugitive? In fact, that just gives me more reason to turn you over to the proper authorities, doesn't it?

[mewtation]

You may attempt it, if you like.

[shitstarter]

. . .

Why are you a fugitive? If you're to stay here you owe me that much.

[shadesbetween]

[Only more interested at that "voice".]

Why not?

[mewtation]

[ squints his eyes shut ]

I would like to be a "person." If I let myself be recaptured, I would not be one.
