[OOC: This is just a catch all for any stuff I do with Cain in the month of august. So far there is one open prompt featuring a very friendly cat.]



~Nya~ Open/All

Cain was smart enough to know that his stealth cat shouldn't be the same as one he wandered out in public in. And he also knew that Captain Shiki had told him to be discreet-and he didn't want to disappoint her-but he really wanted to practice in the mean time, and what better way to do that then making friends with everyone?

So there was now a very large, very fluffy orange maine coone cat wandering around the streets on the local divisions, chasing down any diversion he saw and rubbing up against various yokai legs. It was much easier to find people in this state, with his sense of smell and willingness to be pet. He had a time limit to work on, so he couldn't do this all the time-plus it left him exhausted-but every other day or so he could stroll the markets.

Fellow Lost Souls were no different-as soon as he scented them, Cain was jumping down from his perch on a couple of boxes to come over and start rubbing up against the person's leg.

[ooc note: anyone who can sense magic or magic abilities will probably be able to tell the cat is magic or at least not a normal cat, but there's no real threat or sense of danger to him otherwise.]

Meanwhile, here Hu Tao was, wandering down the streets as she looked at what items she could buy. Now that she was trying to figure out how to restart her business, she needed to get whatever items she could get to open a funeral. Of course, it proved to be difficult when funds are already so low. With a sigh, she mumbled to herself as she stared down at a list. What was a girl supposed to do?

Although, as she looked downward, that's when she found herself looking at said rather large orange main coon cat. Raising an eyebrow or two, she couldn't help but give a giggle.

"Well, aren't you cute? What's a kitty like you doing here?"

[himbosupreme]

Well, he can't really help with the funeral business OR Zhongli's debt, but he can e a cute cat. He meowed back at her statement, twisting around her legs again. It was that girl from the tower! They hadn't had much time to hang out otherwise, so he was glad to see her.

Now he's putting his cute paws on her leg.

[localweirdo]

The more he cuddled around more, the more she couldn't help but giggle. While the cat seemed friendly enough, she still offered to give her hand on toward it in hopes it would allow her to pet him.

"Perhaps you would want something to eat? I'm afraid I don't have anything on me but I could offer you some fish!" Then she gave a pause. "Although, I'm not sure if the local sushi restaurant would allow me to do that."

[inspiteful]

[ Skylark had been on his way back from buying groceries when he felt the familiar sensation of a cat brushing up his legs. Putting food out for cats while growing up (and also knowing a certain local cat god) meant he was used to it. ]

Hm? You're a friendly one...

[himbosupreme]

Mrow!

[He said in response as he continues to weave between the man's legs. He remembered this person!

Cain's putting his front paws up on Skylark's legs, demanding pets despite what he might be carrying.]

[inspiteful]

[ Skylark shifts the bags so that they're in one arm, and reaches down to pet the cat's head. ]

You're a pretty big guy too... I guess they must be people feeding you around here.

[ The only cats that are this friendly, in his experience, are the ones who get fed a lot or have owners. ]

[baofeng]

Look, there's.... another cat?

Yizhi's animal form is that of a slightly smaller, slightly less fluffy (but still quite fluffy) white cat, and he's confused at who this new cat is. He had the same idea, but because he'd happened to get his powers a little earlier, he's used to this street being his own playground. The actual cats other strays that he knows of don't like to come here at this time, with the wide streets so filled with unfamiliar people. The other cats except this guy, apparently?

Not that he's angry or territorial or anything, but his feline instincts encourage a natural wariness of this new scent and creature. He maintains a distance with his ears pricked as he emerges from his own stack of boxes.

"Mmrow?"

[himbosupreme]

Cain himself usually stayed away from the other cats in the city mostly because he was far too friendly for strays and he really didn't want to get in any fights. He had a home already, anyway.

But this cat he spots doesn't look like a stray, as it sits on top of its boxes, peering at him. Cain sniffed the air, but it wasn't anything he recognized. So he crept a bit closer, low to the ground. Whether it was an actual cat or another person as a cat...well, he didn't mind making new friends.

So he flopped over on his side and chirped.

[baofeng]

Oh? Yes, new cat is friendly!

Cain’s assessment is accurate- he’s not quite committed enough to the bit to abandon his vanity, so Yizhi looks sleek and well-cared-for, a housecat no one knows the home of. He hops down from his boxes and pokes his head out to sniff at Cain’s tail. Satisfied with what he got from that, the white cat sits back and settles into a catloaf a few paces away. He chirps back, as if answering. Yes, they can be friends.

They’re not turning heads or anything, but a yokai or two passing by are probably charmed by the sight. A child somewhere squeaks, Okaa-san, the kittys are friends!

[playfoul]

More troubling than a cat is a fluffy cat. Adorable as they might be, Yuri simply can't hang around the furry creatures without having a reaction. Those cat cafe places? Truly hell on earth.

So when the orange coone cat draws near, Yuri looks up from his phone, nose scrunching up. He sidesteps the friendly cat and moves to stand further down the street before he resumes texting.

[himbosupreme]

Oh wait, it was that handsome guy who he worked with in the parking garage! And he was...running away from Cain? Without really any thought put into maybe Yuri just didn't like cats, he trotted after the man, purring as he once again started rubbing all over Yuri's legs.

[playfoul]

Oh great, now the cat was nuzzling up to him. Yuri doesn't dislike cats, but unfortunately, he has to gingerly extract his leg and step away.

"Well, aren't you friendly. You hungry or something? I don't have food for you."

He casts a glance down the street. Vending machines line the alley and of course, not too far away there's a convenience store...it's not like he can linger, so he'll start to walk in that direction.

[federates]

[ ah, a cute, friendly cat... barton watches as it twines about his legs, quiet for a moment. it's not like he's on duty right now, so what the hell. he crouches to offer it his hand to sniff. ]

Ha, aren't you friendly?! [ hopefully his excitement doesn't scare this mysteriously cat off. judging by the way he asks, barton seems to fully anticipate some sort of response. ] Are you lost?

[himbosupreme]

[Maybe it would put him off if he was a normal stray, but Cain was a very friendly guy and his cat self was no different. Besides, he hasn't seen Barton in a hot minute, so he can say hi to his jet ski friend!

He goes up to the outstretched hand, sniffing at it before rubbing his cheek on it. He meowed in answer, not that he could actually talk like this, before rubbing his face against the hand again. Was Barton nervous for some reason? Or was it just him?]

[federates]

[ barton's only nervousness would be in regards to accidentally scaring the cat away. but now that it seems he's been accepted, barton instantly reaches out to give the cat a long pet along its back, his other going to scratch behind one of its ears. ]

[ huh, he doesn't see a collar. maybe it's chipped? hm. ]

You got a name??

[littleshield]

...Did somebody say cat? Felix has been admittedly more cautious of them ever since his rather unfortunate experience with one demonic cat on his arrival, but all the same it has been literal months since then. So perhaps it is not so surprising the swordsman might have let his guard down just a little.

He doesn't anticipate being attacked by a small fluffy thing rubbing against his leg, having been more or less standing in line by a stall, awaiting some fold.

He lets out a sigh, like he's bothered, gives a quick glance around before deciding to reach down with a few, light pets. He mutters, "I'm busy, you know. Don't expect me to shower you in attention."

felix!!! sorry im so late on everything

[himbosupreme]

Thankfully Cain was not a demonic beast, and was only in this to solicit attention from other people. And practice, of course. The lost soul he picked this time he vaguely recognized-this man was on Cloud's team in the tower raid though Cain hadn't had the time to interact with him.

He just meowed back, continuing to weave between his legs and then put his paws up on Felix's leg. You aren't doing a very good job of being uninterested!!

[eyediot]

[Jon has, at least by now a month in, gotten some glasses. They aren't the best, but at least he isn't stumbling around. But for the moment, he's standing at a stall trying to decide what takeaway to get. A big decision to be sure given how he's having to slowly reintroduce food back to his diet now. But he stops for the moment when he feels something against his leg.]

Hullo?

[Looking down, he's a little surprised, then quietly pleased at the sight. It might be the most relaxed Cain's seen him since he was assigned to the Enma department. It isn't a large smile, but one that does reach the eyes.]

Well. Hello there. Didn't expect to see cats around here. [Though that does inform him of a decision to make. His turn, he steps up to get a salmon dish.] Suppose this meal's too large for me to stomach right now anyway. Want to help me with it?

[himbosupreme]

[Oh, that was an expression he's never seen before. Cain was startled enough to just stare at him curiously for a few moments, but Jon's mention of salmon of course got his attention. He'd probably chalk it up to a cat being a cat anyway....

Still, he meowed loudly. He's always ready for free food, and now he's being a tripping hazard weaving in and out of the man's legs. He was more relaxed like this. Was it because he was out of the office? Or maybe he just really liked cats.]

[itstillhurt]

It's a pretty unremarkable occurrence in an urban environment for a cat to jump and climb around on roofs and high places while humans walk around on the street below. The reverse, however, is a little more rare.

Azula isn't paying much attention to the animal on the ground, she's just focusing on her line- off the wall, against the rail of the fire escape, down onto the anti-car barrier pole, and on the empty sidewalk beyond. She pauses for a moment- clearly not winded by the exertion, just pausing as if in thought- and so she's not really paying attention to the small creature that bumps a furry head against her leg.

Atypically friendly. She assumes somebody must have been feeding it.

"I don't have any food, if that's what you're after," she mutters, waving at the cat to dismiss it.

[himbosupreme]

Cats usually worked on people who absolutely hated human attention (Owen), so this was worth a try. Especially when he got a look at who it was. It was the angry kid with a violence problem! Well, no matter.

He's not going away with a wave of the hand, merely sitting down in front of her, licking a paw as he washes one of his ears with it. He's a bit curious about what she was doing but at the moment..well, he was a cat.

[kikuichi]

Norimune is pondering what to buy, as his eyes looks between the various street food stalls he sees along the street. Sweet or savoury, soft or crunchy, what does he feel like having during this free time he's having?

Until he looks down with a blink, and laughs when he sees a cat rubbing against his leg. He does detect something from the cat, it's clearly not a normal cat. Yet, he sense no hostility from them. With a smile, he bends down to give it a pet.

"Why, hello there. Do you need something, my feline friend?"

[himbosupreme]

Oh, it's the sword guy! As in, the other man with a sword he's fought. He unfortunately doesn't know about his similarity to Hizen, yet. But even as odd of a cat that he is, he starts purring when Norimune reaches down to pet him.

He's leaning up also if he takes his hand away, paws up on the man's leg. It's not like any of these people would be this affectionate with him normally, so he was going to milk it for what it's worth! Pick him up, old man!!

remember when i threatened to do this?

[sicklysweet]

[Oh. That's a very large, very fluffy kitty.

Cain probably can tell immediately that Owen isn't his usual self, with the way his smile actually reaches his eyes and looks far more joyous and innocent than any expression he usually makes - which should be a familiar look by now in and of itself.

He's very excited to see a cat, though, crouching down and holding his hands out to temp the kitty closer.]

Oh... You're such a cute, pretty kitty... Come here, okay?

banning you

[himbosupreme]

[Oh. Oh no, he knows what's happening here. Owen's affliction hadn't manifested in awhile and it had lulled him into a false sense of security that he unintentionally froze when the wizard called out to him in such a sweet voice.

But there was no way that Cain could deny him for long, especially not as one of the animals he loved so much. He trotted over to where Owen was crouched down, giving a meow as he sniffed the hand and then rubbed his face against it.]
