Behold. CATS! (Two in One Post)

[sang_av_helten]

[Archibald & Skald]     

[There's a video message coming on screen and its...very odd. At first you see nothing but a pair of fuzzy, twitchy ears.]

...lift me... a bit higher, my friend. Yes... that much, perfect.
                    
[A cat with a pair of goggles pops out to the video, lifted by someone unseen. He stands proudly in front of the camera, and somehow... he speaks!]


           
Good day Unity Group. My name is Baron Archibald von Whiskers and this is my partner, Skald Skogkattson.
           
[There's sounds of a struggle offscreen while Archie speaks, sounds like one of the technicians and the other cat.]
               
'Just hold still, Its only going to take a-'
               
ABSOLUTELY NOT! One of my bloodline cannot simply be lifted and carried around like a common housecat! I am a WARRIOR!
               
'Yes well you still can't get onto that chair yourself can you?'
               
....
               
[You have no idea how, but you can FEEL the larger cat's gaze of dissaproval.]
           
Uhm. We are the pilots of the mecha Smilodon, which is currently residing in your hangar. There might be some explanation needed about the recent attack and theft at the research facilities recently.
           
The attack was perpetrated by C.L.A.W.;  The Cat's Liberation Army of the World. I'm sad to say that the organization is led by our mentor Socrates. You see he wants to take revenge upon the world for the death of our father, the good scientist who gave us the ability to speak and pilot mechs.
           
Our father's death was a sad affair, but I believe that my mentor is wrong. I believe that catkind and humans can live together. That's why we decided to stop him. And we need your help. Of course, we will help the cause of Unity Group as well. As you saw from the previous battle, Smilodon will be a great addition to your arsenal, and needless to say, we are great pilots.
           
[You can see him puffing proudly]
           
We'll gladly answer any further questions you have.

(Please note that in this Prompt Skald will have difficulty answering due to his refusal to be lifted to the camera - making this primarily an Archie post.)

[Skald]
    
[Given that they are pilots as well, they were probably going to get rooms right? Then again since they're cats its also equally likely that they were going to get shoved off onto someone else's room. In Skald's case though he merely chose to search for the most comfortable place he believed was suited to a warrior of his stature and deeds.]

 Ah... Truly this is a bed suitable for one such as myself! I shall claim it for my own!


    
[He kneads his claws into the pillow before settling himself onto it. Problem was... it was Asagi's pillow. Try to convince the cat to sleep somewhere else? (Especially if you're Asagi)]

First prompt

[herodrawing]

[Izuru's response to all these revelations is as follows.]

You're cats!

Cats that can talk... and you have goggles!

Re: First prompt

[armowrpiercing]

Of course I have goggles. How can I rule the skies without goggles? Goggles are the mark of an ace!

[herodrawing]

You make a pretty good point.

But I didn't see your robot fly. Can it?

[armowrpiercing]

Sadly it can't fly. But being an ace isn't the matter of flying, it's the matter of your heart.

[kill_all_vagans]

How... how can cats talk?

Are you alien cats? Like Hetepheres?

Re: 1

[armowrpiercing]

We are normal ordinary earth cats, my friend. Our father, may he rest in peace, gave us the ability to talk.

[kill_all_vagans]

[Another brilliant parent, cut down before their time...]

I'm sorry for your loss... if he could grant an animal human-level intelligence he must have been an incredible genius...

[armowrpiercing]

Yes, he was a kind father and a brilliant human. I guess that's why Socrates is so keen on his mad plan to take over the world for revenge.

[cloningblues]

Why is there a cat on my bed? A talking cat?

I'm not really awake now, am I?

[sang_av_helten]

You are most assuredly awake. However I must refute your claim that this is your bed as I have claimed it for my own. Besides it is far too small for you.

[He seems to settle on the pillow even more and looks Asagi in the eye as if challenging him to- wait. Did he call that pillow a bed? Huh...]

1/3

[cloningblues]

So you really are real...

2/2

[cloningblues]

[This face.]

3/3

[cloningblues]

But no, seriously. That's my pillow.

[actuallyselfish]

Dido passes by the open door to Asagi's room...then stops and stares. And pinches her nose

"Okay. How exactly are you speaking?" She asks. "Cats don't exactly have vocal cords, and I don't see any translation collar or the like."

[sang_av_helten]

I assure you that I have a most accurate explanation for all of this in which will probably answer all questions!

The answer is that... I do not quite know how myself. I am a warrior, not a scientist.

[actuallyselfish]

Dido pulls out a notepad.

"Reminder." She sounds out as she takes down a note. "Investigate...possibility...of cats being...psychic."

She tucks the notebooks away.

"So. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

[caressthedarkness]

That...might have been too much...I need to...

[Someone entering this room (which is not hers) doesn't see the cat on the pillow, and proceeds to lay her head on it.]



Mmm...at last...!

Uh oh...

[sang_av_helten]

[Well Seta, you find that there seems to be a lot of fluff on the pillow, and surprising amounts of muscle. It was also very warm.]

Y... You dare lay your head on the body of a warrior like it was a bed?! Who are you to attempt such a great act of disrespect?!

[Skald was so very affronted by her mistake and attempts to move.]

[caressthedarkness]

Mmm....please allow me five minutes...Sir Pillow...

You see...I am incredibly tired...

[And indeed, she's mumbling...]

[gold_four]

Well... Cats have lived domestically alongside humans for most of history, so...

[Ataru is grinning because cat.]

Re: 1

[armowrpiercing]

Indeed, that's my believe as well. Cats and humans should live side by side as partners, not enemies.

Re: 1

[gold_four]

Well... in most cases you'd replace 'partner' with 'pet', unless you're planning to bump the rest of your species up in intellect too?

[...Then again, given what people said about how regular cats behaved anyway...]

*Dorothy kneels at the side of the bed and watches Skald.*

Cat.

[sang_av_helten]

Person who is pale and dressed in black.

[Skald looks at Dorothy curiously. There was an odd smell about her. She didn't smell like the other human people. He leans off the pillow a little towards her.]

[delouser]

*Dorothy reaches out with her hand and tries to pet Skald*
