Mission 14

[skysmirror]

[Cambot's getting all kinds of great cat videos today.

This one shows a small-ish black cat playing with a ball of bright green yarn. It bats the ball here and there, pouncing and tugging at loose strands until eventually it becomes tangled in the yarn.

It tries for a few moments to pull itself free, then looks up at Cambot.]

Please?

[A hand moves into view, freeing the kitty.]

Thank you.

[The cat proceeds to start playing with the yarn again.]

[Indeed. Though he's a very cute little mouse.]

You're a mouse? Do you need any help?

[virtualunknown]

Mmm, I'm getting around okay. Mostly just trying not to get stepped on or eaten.

[skysmirror]

Eaten? But we all still think like we normally do...

[She doesn't know of anyone on the Satellite that normally eats mice.]

[virtualunknown]

It seems that way, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

[skysmirror]

I see.

Well, let me know if there's anything I can do.

[She will totally pounce on anyone who threatens him. Or any of her friends, really, but he seems like the one most likely to need that service at the moment.]

[virtualunknown]

I will.

Otherwise, it isn't so bad. It's been interesting looking between the walls.

[skysmirror]

I bet, though aren't there a lot of wires and things to look out for?

[virtualunknown]

Oh, lots of them!

[skysmirror]

Be careful.

...But what else is there?

[Yes, she's concerned re: the possibilities of electric shocks, but she's also curious.]

[virtualunknown]

Mostly just the wires, but there are some remnants from the parties those other mice were holding when we were headed towards the space iceburg.

[skysmirror]

Really? I'd have thought that disappeared when the week was over.

[virtualunknown]

I would have thought so as well. I suppose it could be from something else, though.

[skysmirror]

Maybe, though I don't know what.

[virtualunknown]

The only bad part about this is the instinct to chew and make a nest.

[skysmirror]

[Xion looks at her ball of yarn.]

At least that serves a purpose?

[virtualunknown]

To an extent, I suppose...

[skysmirror]

Well, I guess it's only for the week.

[virtualunknown]

This is true. ...and at least my Cambot seems happier now.

[skysmirror]

Mine does, too.

[virtualunknown]

....yeah, sorry about that again...

[skysmirror]

Don't worry about it.

[Slight kitty smile.]

[virtualunknown]

I'll try not to. [Gives a happy little squeak.]
