[NEXUS] HALO 165: Disturbing the Fishy Neighbors Since Forever

[Quinsar]

He's asleep, alread snuggled close to Jezzie. He is... Cold.

[Beans]

She gets her le waters.
I knowww. Stupid delicious lava-filled pastries.

[Moofin Bard]

Mel laps down the water like a mad woman. Yes, laps. It seems she has a cat tongue as well. She puts down the water and now carefully and slowly eats the hot pocket. Slowly. Well it is delicious.

-------------

Jezzie touches him and feels how cold he is. She frowns, looking worried.
She then gets out the ritual page and starts reading it.

[Quinsar]

He is noticeably cold, below room temperature...
Mm.. Mornin' beautiful...

[Beans]

Yeah.
That's the reason I tell Grant whenever he asks why I always try to eat them before they cool a bit.

[Moofin Bard]

Who's Grant?
She looks up at Pesty curiously.
Yes, curiousity did kill the cat.

--------------

Jezzie looks positively frightened.
Why are you so cold?

[Beans]

My huuuusband.
Pesty, as a catgirl, is able to make the classic face and does so at this point.
He punches demons in the face. That is his job.

[Quinsar]

Cold...?
I don'tfeel cold, I feel nice...

[Moofin Bard]

Mel looks up in awe at Pesty.
He punches demons?
That's so cool.
She makes one of those anime shiny eye faces.

-----------------

Jezzie now looks much more alarmed.
Oh my gosh do you have hypothermia?

[Beans]

I know!
I tried it once and, well...
She laughs nervously, flexing one hand.
It whirrs faintly.
It didn't go all that well.

[Moofin Bard]

It looks as though young Mel found her role model.
That's so cool. You're cool.

[Quinsar]

Mel looks up in awe at Pesty.
He punches demons?
That's so cool.
She makes one of those anime shiny eye faces.

-----------------

Jezzie now looks much more alarmed.
Oh my gosh do you have hypothermia?

I don;t think so... if eel okay...

[The Bushranger]

Dani is, probably, still with Sam and Kary...


Patty might still be by the pool.

[Beans]

It looks as though young Mel found her role model.
That's so cool. You're cool.

Although Pesty's not too much older. You said Mel was, what, 19?
Awww, thanks!
She smiles.
But it's not something I'm proud of---getting bits of me broken and having to replace them, I mean.

[Moofin Bard]

Mel shrugged it off.
And yes but she still is sort of like a child.
What with growing up in a lab.
So you said you were gonna find me a room?

--------------------

You feel like ice!
But you can't even feel it!

[Beans]

Yeah! Let's go!
She stands, bouncing on her feets.

[Quinsar]

O-oh... Is that a side effect of hte ritual?
Probably not a listed one.

[Moofin Bard]

Mel stands as well and her tail is swishing happily.
Such a fluffy cute tail.
Yeah okay!

------------------

Jezzie flips through the pages.
Not a listed one...
But it's possible.

[Beans]

She finds her a vacant room.
It might seem a little bland at first, but they all start that way until you make yourself at home.

[Moofin Bard]

Mel's face brightens.
She opens her backpack and hangs a poster of a kitten hanging off a tree saying 'Hang In There' on the wall and puts a silly lamp shaped like a cherry with a smiley face on her desk.
There!

[Quinsar]

Okay... Anything to do now?

[Beans]

Mel's face brightens.
She opens her backpack and hangs a poster of a kitten hanging off a tree saying 'Hang In There' on the wall and puts a silly lamp shaped like a cherry with a smiley face on her desk.
There!

... You came prepared.
Even brought a lamp...
Pesty is impressed.

[Moofin Bard]

Well they told me I was going to be living somewhere else so I brought all of my things. They don't let you have much.
She turns the lamp on.
It makes red diamond light patterns on the ceiling.

-------------

Jezzie nods.
Yes but not for a little while yet.

[Beans]

True...
AHHH LIGHTS LIGHTS AHHH.
She sees the lights and bounces in glee.

[Quinsar]

Okay, what now sweetie?

[Moofin Bard]

Mel giggles and bounces along with her.
It seems some things are common amongst all catgirls.
Sparkly colorful lights are one of them.
I could stare at it forever.

---------------------

Jezzie kisses him.
Well first I'm going to try to warm you up.
She tries to pull a sort of half curtain.

[Beans]

Pesty giggles.
I have tons of lighty flashy things in the lab. Wanna see 'em?

[Moofin Bard]

Mel's adorable cream ears twitch.
She looks at Pesty happily.
Yes please!

[Beans]

She'll lead her to the lab, to the area she works in. There is a set of boxes and she pulls out what looks like a light-show ball on a stick.
Click.
LIGHTS LIGHTS AHHHH

[Moofin Bard]

Mel stares at it with wide unblinking eyes.
It seems as though she's in a trance.
She's not even blinking.
Pesty might want to turn that off.
