[nukeoleptic]

Grrr. Grrrr! -- oh my god, not this- woof!

[ The sound is distorted, muffled. The network keeps messing up; if she didn't need it to retain color, she'd probably throw it in the lake. ]

No, kitty, come here, I'm sorry! Oh my god, is this broadcasting, stop it, bracelet-

[ That last sentence echoes, ripples as if she's speaking under water, and magical feedback buzzes loud.

Dead air for a second.

And then the audio cuts back in, mid sound-- ]

Woof! Dammit, grr-

[ And the growling gives way to breathless and loud barking as Jade trees the cat. Dead air again, and the feed finally cuts. ]

Unless your doggy senses could pick that up, I highly doubt it. Just...walk away. [Hahahahaa, that's horrible advice for him to be giving.]

[Filtered Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

I can't. He's still in the tree.

[ ... ]

What am I even saying??

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

[Sadly, his filter is turning off thanks to network malfunctions.]

...Don't tell me it's a purple and pink striped cat, Jade. Don't you dare.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

What? No, it's just--

[ SCREECHING FEEDBACK- ]

-- and anger.

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

I didn't get...any of that. This sucks. [He'd be more pissed off if he knew his filter disappeared.]

Anyways, do I need to come-- [Yaaaay feedback here too.] ...But seriously, if it's the Chesh-- [And here.] find Alice.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

[ .. and Jade is out of breath. What use are growth powers if you can't grow branches to hoist yourself up into the tree with? >| ]

-- what about Alice?

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

...Nothing, never mind. If the cat starts talking, just run. Don't let it find you. I mean it.

[If that makes sense at all.]

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

There are talking cats in the city now??

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

No, it's more like I know one talking cat from Alice's world who's a big pain in the [beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

But if there is a talking cat that's not him, don't start some dog versus cat war. It'd just get awkward.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

--there's no war! I really don't mind cats most of the time. Honest. Promise!

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

You sure? I might adopt a cat to test this tick of yours.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Oh no. No no no. Grr-- you should get a dog.

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

I think cats are less likely to harass sheep...

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Cats harass everything.

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

Sorry, what? I couldn't hear you over the sound of that huge bias of yours.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

There's no bias! I'm completely objective here!

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

You know what, I'm going to adopt that cat you're chasing. Just decided.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Why would you do that!

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

Because then you'll stop fighting with it! Where are you, anyways?

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

I'm in Baldr. The park.. that's where it ran.

[ There's a long suffering tone to her voice. ]

I treed it.

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

[The cat is probably suffering more.]

Give me a bit to get over there and I will untree it.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Ryan's on his way, actually.

[ LONG SUFFERING STILL. ]

He likes cats.

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

[Siiiiiigh.] Hey, I could like cats. I just don't like a cat.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

I know some people who own a pet shop. I could hook you up!

[Audio]

[key_illusion]

It's okay, I'll just pick up the next gray stray cat I see.

But you're going to stop abusing the one you got in the tree, right?
