Still unconscious are a young boy with some overambitious adventuring gear, and a black-haired fellow with a bow around his back.--- * The Cat is a, as yet un-named, black furred creature (with a white puff on his chest and head) that appears to be a cat, with the exception of having wings on his back. * Iceberg is a young, elf wizard with a dark blue robe, blue hair, an ice cane, and he is 5'7" tall. * Bulix is a guy with red clothes... and brown hair... and... That's about it. (Oh yeah, He seems to have the IQ of a brick at times...) * Thesian is 6 feet tall and 170 pounds, with shoulder length black hair, and unnaturally bright blue eyes. He carries a short sword at his belt. * Miko is a young-adult, human-looking female with long, straight, black hair, wearing a silk robe. She watches silently as the others participate in idle chatter. * Iceberg is puzzled to be in this house with so many people dizzy, too... * Bulix sits up, shakes his head, and tries to figure out what's going on.. * Thesian promptly throws himself down on the ground and falls asleep...which is where he left off last time... Ilsi: How's your fishy-fish, sweetie?! * Cat rolls his eyes at the woman's method of speech. "I ate it." * Bulix looks over at the cat and mutters, "Man... That must've been some good stuff..." Iceberg: Well, I am a little asleep now. How are you, Bulix? What happened? * Bulix looks around at all the people, his confusion growing.. "What..? Oh.. Iceberg. Good to see you're awake.. I'm.. fine." * Iceberg thanks Bulix for saving him. "Thanks, Bulix." Cat: Hey lady, who are all these people? As a matter of fact... Who are you? * Miko acknowledges the cat. "My name is Miko. How... How is it that you can speak?" Cat: Same way you can. Ilsi: I don't know, dear. My son found them in the street two days ago, all badly hurt. And don't talk. It's not becoming of a sweet little kitten! My name is Ilsi. Don't concern yourselves with me. You still need some rest. * Bulix nods.. "No problem..." * Cat decides to ignore the woman of low IQ, turns his attention to Miko. * Miko is enthralled by the cat. "That's amazing! Are you a magical cat?" Cat: Beats me... * Iceberg shouts, "¡Ahh! A cat that flies... Are you like the one from the legends?" * Bulix rubs his eyes. "You see the.. flying cat too..? It's not just me?" * Bulix nods to the cat. "Hi.. Cat?" Ilsi: Let's see... If I'm gonna keep you for the rest of your life, you'll need a name... Hmm... Hmm... How does Puffy Puff sound to you? Cat: Puffy Puff?!?! Rest of my life? Ack! Save me! * Iceberg says, "What about Neko?" * Cat looks to Bulix "Help! Save me from this woman! She's nuts! Ilsi: I am NOT nuts! Don't listen to the villagers! I am kind! I care for those in need! * Cat flaps his wings, trying to get out of the woman's arms. * Miko laughs at the cat. "Thank you, Ilsi. It looks as if you have saved our lives." * Cat finds Bulix somehow familiar... but isn't up to dwelling on that right now. * Bulix looks between the two. "Nuts? Flying cat? And I'm really awake?" Iceberg: I prepared two years ago a potion with eyes of cat... But it didn't fly... Wonder how it will work with a flying cat... Cat: Don't even think about it, Pointy Ears. Iceberg: I wasn't thinking, little one. I was only wondering if you are some kind of magical... * Bulix looks at the cat again and makes a connection. "I wonder..." Ilsi: I am so sorry about the old man. The chief had a look at him and said he had no business casting such a spell on so many people at that age... There was nothing I could do for him..." * Thesian stirs, then sits up, stretching his arms. "What's all the racket about?" he yawns sleepily. Bulix: The old man.. dead? * Cat notices that flapping his wings doesn't seem to help, sighs. Ilsi: "His bones were shattered. The chief said that it takes a lot of magical energy to transfer people..." Iceberg: ¡¡¡He was one of the elder wizards!!! I'm very sorry... * Thesian sees Cat, and his eyes widen a little in surprise. "A flying cat??" * Cat looks at Thesian "Yes. Has everyone looked at me and said that yet?" * Thesian blinks. "Hmmm... It's got a mouth, too, it seems." * Ilsi folds her hair back and reveals brown tiger-stripes on her cheeks. * Iceberg looking at Miko, "Hi. The name is Iceberg, and yours, lady?" * Miko smiles at Iceberg. "My name is Miko." Iceberg: Miko, pleasure is mine. Sweet Miko, so we're all in this... * Miko nods to Iceberg. She cannot take her attention off the amazing cat, except to stare occasionally at the animal-like features of Ilsi. * Ilsi brings warm tea to each conscious person. * Bulix thanks Ilsi. * Thesian accepts the tea and thanks the woman. * Iceberg likes tea more than any drink... Is it Nestea®? ---The tea is unlike anything you've seen, but it has a pleasant scent.--- * Cat decides to try a new approach. "Hey Lady, could you put me down? I gotta go..." Ilsi: Well, okay, dear, but don't wander off anywhere. You're MINE!" * Cat runs over and hides behind Miko's legs when the lady puts him down. Ilsi: "Puffy Puff! Don't scare the girl!" Cat: My name is not Puffy Puff! Ilsi: Your name is whatever I say it is, pet! * Miko reaches down to stroke the fur of the magical cat. * Cat almost winces as Miko reaches to touch him. * Iceberg wants to study this cute cat nearer... * Thesian leans close to Iceberg. "Better not get *too* close to that furball. He looks like he might take your head off." * Bulix decides he doesn't like tea, and offers it to the cat. * Cat sniffs the tea. "Ick." Iceberg: Puff is scared from the tea woman, I guess. I'll do a calm spell.. * Thesian snorts. "So what do you call yourself then, kitty? Cattitude, perhaps?" * Miko giggles. * Cat looks at Thesian. "Um... Unless you count 'Hey you' and 'Little mongrel', No one has ever cared enough to name me... before Puffy Puff, which I don't like." * Iceberg, looking at Thesian, "So you are too here. Iceberg is how all call me..." * Bulix chuckles. "Well, whatever your name is, Puffy Puff or no, you have good taste." Ilsi: Oh no. The sun is reaching zenith..." * Ilsi hurries over and pulls down all the shades. Iceberg: Thanks, woman, I was meltin'... ---The young adventurer rolls over in his sleep.--- * Miko suggests that the cat be able to choose his own name. Ilsi: You look like a nice girl, but don't fill the cat's head with ideas..." Iceberg: Cat, do you like Micifuz? * Bulix looks at the cat. "A name, huh..? Why don't you.. find one that fits yourself?" * Cat looks around. "I don't know how to pick a name." Cat looks up at Miko. "Can you give me one?" * Miko seems speechless. "I...I don't know. I can't think of anything special enough." * Iceberg is trying to see the Cat nearer. Miko is near too... Ilsi: "Please don't all stare at MY kitty. He gets scared..." * Cat starts, jumps at Miko, holding onto her while looking at Bulix. "I remember YOU!" * Iceberg is looking to Bulix and the Cat with curiosity... * Bulix nods slowly.. "It... is you, isn't it?" Cat: Why, know any other flying cats? * Miko holds onto the cat, confused. She also occasionally glances at the young adventurer who has not awaken. ---Thesian's partner snores loudly...--- * Thesian looks at the cat, then at Bulix. "You two know each other?" * Bulix shakes his head. "Not that I can think of now.. Been a long time." Cat: "He used to work for 'the circus'." * Cat says 'the circus' with loathing and hate. * Bulix snorts. "Hey.. So did you." * Iceberg knows very little of Bulix... Cat: I didn't have a choice! Ilsi: "Puffy! What manner of trouble are you getting into?" Miko: What is a 'circus'? * Bulix shrugs and turns toward the others. "It was a short thing.." Cat: You think I liked living in a cage? B
