From:

sharkgirl

[she scoops up the tuxedo cat and shows it to him.]

Does this one remind you of Ryuki too?

From:

selfimmolation

Yeah! Look at him! He looks stressed out.

[ he says it like it's very cute? ]

From:

sharkgirl

[this is the nightmare scenario]

Does he? [turns the cat to look at him... he meows.]

From:

selfimmolation

Don't you see it?? He's adorable.

[ no. ]

Well, forget about that. What'd you come here for? Just the cats?

From:

sharkgirl

[anyway she puts the cat on her head]

... Yeah, just came here to steal the cats. [...] They're warm.

From:

selfimmolation

... Yeah?

[ he's flopping down next to her now. he's not as warm as usual because :( no fire :( but he is still naturally warm ]

Well, you can keep hanging around here as long as you want. I think these guys miss Satan a little. He was a real spoiling dad type, you know.

From:

sharkgirl

[he flops down and she immediately curls up against his side because she's a pest.]

Tama got mad when I told her I come here and don't visit her, so I'll probably be around. [i'm sorry she is just so squirmy, like she can't get comfortable. the cats are mad about it.]

From:

selfimmolation

[ it's fine he is used to. a lot squirmier and he kind of knows why she's being squirmy ]

Well, she's right, you know. Pretty rude of you not to when she's the most exciting thing in this place.

From:

sharkgirl

That's true. I don't think I've ever met anybody like her and I've met like, a lot of people.

From:

selfimmolation

She's definitely unique. [ like ryuki, who is so cute when ace is under love arrow and only then, ] And she likes you hanging out here too, so we might as well just keep you.

[ "albedo and goat" dont get a say ]

From:

sharkgirl

[a pause, and she presses her face against ace's arm for a second, stretching her leg out and then pulling it back in.]

I could be a goat. [...] I guess it's easy to be one since there are no doors.

From:

selfimmolation

We should probably fix that.

[ in a tone of voice like he is absolutely not going to do that. he's also just like. letting her do whatever she needs touching wise and not commenting on it ]

Well, it kind of helps, this way the cats can do their business outside. [ he does not have a concept of outdoor cats being bad ]

From:

sharkgirl

And I can get in here whenever? I'd have to text you to come open the door every time if there was a door, leave it off.

[she appreciates this, honestly - she's going to keep doing it, because she's very nearly crawling out of her skin, but y'know.]

I wanna sleep here until I figure out how to do a treehouse.

From:

selfimmolation

It's not like we kept it locked.

[ he thinks. he doesn't pay attention. but at that he tilts his head a bit ]

A treehouse? [ he knows no on the tiger dorm, but the treehouse part is new. huh ] I could probably help you with that. I practically lived in one as a kid.

From:

sharkgirl

[she glances up at him.]

I've never built one, but I accidentally promised Danny I'd build one so he wouldn't have to be by himself in Tiger's dumb office. [... she's mad at him right now but she knows she won't be forever.] So if you wanna help, that'd be cool. Maybe not this week. I think if I see him at any point I might eat him.

From:

selfimmolation

I built one with my brothers. [ so, yeah, he can definitely help build one, he means. ] And you shouldn't do that. Nothing tastes worse than sweaty teenage boys.

[ he'd know, ]

From:

sharkgirl

[nyeh]

Well, maybe he'd deserve it. [...] You lived in a treehouse with your brothers?

From:

selfimmolation

[ nudges her, because he knows she doesn't think that for real, but he also knows she is not serious about eating danny so lets it go for story time ]

Yeah. We got tired of living with the bandits, and... Anyway, we built a treehouse. We had our own pirate flag, too, to fly over it.

From:

sharkgirl

[or is she (she is not serious)

absently rubbing at her arm...]

How long did you live with the bandits?

From:

selfimmolation

[ hmmm... kind of rubs at her back lightly as a test ]

About... seventeen years? [ it's joke-y in tone ] We moved out for a bit for that treehouse when I was ten, but we were in the same forest still. We'd go back from time to time to borrow their bath. And we... [ there's a pause before he shrugs ] We didn't use the treehouse as much after Sabo died.

From:

sharkgirl

[she doesn't seem to mind - she'll let him, closing her eyes for a second.]

Oh. [...] Yeah, I guess it'd be hard to be there if it reminded you of him?

From:

selfimmolation

[ he does it a little stronger when she doesn't seem to mind ]

Mm. Well, that, and we did kind of build it for little kids. We wouldn't have been able to stay in it forever no matter what.

From:

sharkgirl

Yeah, I guess so.

[she is less squirmy, now] You guys went and did the ocean thing anyway. If you think about it a boat is a treehouse.

From:

selfimmolation

Ha, yeah. They are both houses made of wood. [ are they. ] Point is, I'm no shipwright, but I've built both a treehouse and a ship, so I can help you with that for sure.
