39th sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Kyon is sitting on a park bench with his cat Shamisen next to him. He appears to be looking at something he got as a regain...]

Okay, holiday photos, a few changes of clothes... That's all fine but, what the heck is this thing supposed to be!?

It appears to be a mummified kappa.

(Please tell me that voice just now wasn't...)

... What, cat got your tongue?

I don't need you cracking bad puns! And don't talk!

Ahem... Meow?

Well, that's new. [ Shana eyes up Shamisen. ]

Are you some kind of rinne?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... He's my cat. He's been around a few months now y'know.

[tosurpassgod]

[Black☆Star's been doing laps around the park as per usual, but when he swears he hears a cat talk he stops in his tracks and backs up]

You have a talking cat too?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What? No. Of course not. Cats don't talk, that'd be silly. ... Hold it, "too"?

[tosurpassgod]

Yeah! My friend has a talking cat back home. Except his can transform into a really hot chick! With a huge rack and everything!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Huh.

Well, I'm afraid I'm just an ordinary non-transforming cat.

(You call talking ordinary!?)

[tosurpassgod]

[Black☆Star peers at the cat]

Do you at least have a gender? Because the last talking cat I met didn't call itself a he or a she.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Despite being a calico, I am very much male, which makes me quite the rare specimen.

(... Sure, talk about your colour as a rare trait.)

[tosurpassgod]

[Sorry Kyon, you're totally being ignored as he carries on a conversation with your cat]

So all you can do is be a cat? No transforming or seeing people's souls or anything?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, I'm just an ordinary house cat.

[tosurpassgod]

[Headtilt]

Then why can you talk?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I...

It's a long story. Which doesn't need to be shared right now.

[tosurpassgod]

[Oh right that other guy is here]

Why not? It's not like you're doing anything else.

[forgotten-titan.livejournal.com]

Hey Kyon. How are you-

(And then she notices the mummified kappa. She jerks backwards, shocked.)

What is that!?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

That's a very good question. A kappa, supposedly.

[doudemoe]

[...Did that cat just talk?]

How much is it worth?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm? This thing? [The kappa?] The price tag says ¥2000.

[doudemoe]

[Almost $20 dollars. That's quite a lot here.]

Sell it, then.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... And who would actually want this thing?

(Except maybe Haruhi.)

[doudemoe]

You never know. Someone might want it.

Unless you want to make a trade.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I think I'll just hold on to it for now.

[doudemoe]

[/kayneshrug]

...Does this one like strangers? [Referring to the cat now.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, he's fine. (As long as you don't start a conversation.)

[doudemoe]

[Minato starts petting the cat then. He certainly seemed like a bright kitty.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Meeooooow...
