Keen06/20/2020
The day of Performance Week 2020 talent contest, Micha is trying to follow a fleeing Rhys after their performance.

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
still wearing their costume, lit up by LEDs and glowsticks, they only make it so far before they stop to sit under a tree- far enough away to hide from the crowds but apparently not from friends

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Catches up to Rhys, but slows down drastically once they're a few feet away. "Hey... Are you alright? ... Can I sit with you?"

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
slowly rotates their cat-like helmeted head towards Micha. Pauses. Shrugs. "I can't really tell you no. You're my friend."

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Frowns hard at that. "Yeah you can. Friends don't always have to be around each other. I didn't know if you, uh, needed space. O-Or, um, company. Or conversation. I'm here for anything."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"I don't know what I need. That was really bad" Their whole sitting form sort of deflates and their tail limply lies across the ground

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Sits beside Rhys. Still towers over them but, y'know, they're trying their best. Is silent for a few seconds, then finds their words. "I think you still did great. Everyone was cheering you on and there were a lot of smiles... You didn't complete your performance, but you made everyone happy... Jessica really liked the lights on your costume."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
turns their head back so they're looking at the ground. "But I messed up. KAT doesn't make mistakes. Everybody likes KAT because they're cute and they can't be stopped"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Is silent for a bit again. Expect that a lot. "But... That's not realistic. You're still a person. Not a. A. Uh. Not a ideal. People make mistakes. And... Uh. And I think that's good. What you did was really inspirational. You got up on stage and put on a great performance and even though you had to stop you showed people can do great things. Even if they make mistakes." Fidgets with all four of their hands.

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"I'm scared of being on the stage with people looking at me"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
"Oooh... I think... I think you did great for someone who's scared of that. And I think a lot of performers feel the same..." Puts one of their upper hands over their eyes. "I feel bad for telling you to look at us smiling... I thought you were scared of the crowd not liking your stuff."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"I couldn't really see the smiles anyway. I heard some of the cheering but..." they shake their head. "I should have told someone I was scared so they could tell me I didn't have to go up there"
[4:44 PM]
"Sorry we wasted all that time on my costume"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Looks confused, then shocked. "We didn't waste any time! I. I had a really fun time with you. My dads and aunt really liked you too. I was. I was gonna invite you to our picnic table when you were done. So we could celebrate... We can still do that, if you want. I didn't know if you had someone else to celebrate with."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
reaches up to undo the straps holding their helmet on. They're not currently crying but there's definitely some damp streaks down their face. "I had fun too. I don't know if I can handle everyone seeing me again though" they cringe

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Nods. "That's fine. But, um, we're all here for you. And, uh, I'm sorry if I pressured you to go up there. Papa says I shouldn't give into peer pressure, but I didn't know I was pressuring you."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
strained smile. "It wasn't just you encouraging me to go up there. And I do really like singing and dancing. I just thought maybe I could keep my eyes closed"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
appears, maybe twenty paces away. "Hey Rhys!"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Jumps a little, so absorbed in their own conversation. "Oh. Hey."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
has a small mirror that he's wrapping back up in cloth and putting away into his coat pocket as he walks over

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
turns, slightly startled, and gives Gany a small wave. "hi Ganymede. Sorry I had to leave"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"That's alright." he goes and gives Rhys a hug.

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
hugs back without hesitation or questioning it
[5:01 PM]
"Ganymede this is Micha, he and his family helped me with the costume"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Waves. "Nice to meet you."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"Oh! A pleasure to meet you, Micha."

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
"Rhys and I were just talking. We didn't want to be around the crowd and all the noise..."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"Understandable," he nods.

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"Now my two best friends are here" (':

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
hesitates, clearly unsure of what to say, then pulls out a handkerchief and offers it to Rhys. for any face-wiping they may want to do.

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Smiles at that. Is trying to hold it back but is doing an awful job at it.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"I actually think you were doing a great job. You're a good dancer."
[5:10 PM]
"A brilliant one, actually."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
blinks and looks a little bit ashamed as they take the handkerchief and wipe their face. "Thank you. Dancing and singing are the things i'm best at. I had a lot of practice. I just got too excited and opened my eyes- I know better"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
"I was thinking. Maybe, uh, maybe we can help you practice? Fighting against your stage freight, I mean. We could... We could get help from the theater club... or you could perform in front of us and my family."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"If that's something you want to pursue... I'd be more than happy to help. We could probably even do a routine together."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"But what if I keep freezing? My brother or sister always had to..." they cover their mouth with a hand and shake their head. "This isn't the first time"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
Very. Concerned. Look. "W-Well, uh, the point is to help you stop freezing. It'll take practice. It can take a very long time but that's okay because we'll help you."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"I don't mind dancing with you Ganymede, or maybe with your family watching Micha. But not the theater club. That's too many people"

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
starts turning off the lights on their costume

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
"That's fine. I was thinking mostly the club for the stage, but there's always the backyard or woods or somewhere else quiet."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
"I was actually thinking of doing a piano accompaniment for your dancing. If that's... something you would ever be interested in. We would both probably be trying new styles."

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
ponders. "Somewhere quiet and piano music. Never done that before but that sounds more friendly" They look down at the costume. "You'll have to help me figure something else to wear for that though"

Micha Sauer
BOT
06/20/2020
"Maybe... Maybe we can all go shopping again? The three of us this time?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/20/2020
smiles "Sure!"

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
06/20/2020
"That sounds like fun"

Kait06/21/2020
SCENE:
The dorms. A particularly well-dressed catboy appears in the hallway, as if out of thin air.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
looks at the number on the door and compares it to something he has written down on a piece of paper. He slips that paper into a pocket in his suit, then starts knocking.

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
The door opens promptly, revealing a room kept clean out of habit. In contrast, Leo was still looking particularly shabby. His eyes widen as he notices all the cat features.
[12:08 AM]
"...Hello."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Hello," he smiles up at Leo, "I'm Ganymede. I heard that you came to the island recently, and that we have a few things in common. So I wanted to introduce myself."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
body language seems to loosen up. He was expecting some authority figure to visit, so he let's his guard drop a little seeing another neko.

"I'm...my name is Leo," he still doesn't sound used to saying that. he buries his hands in his pockets. "the scout people said there were more of us here. I...haven't met any others yet."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"It's nice to meet you, Leo! I came about a year and a half ago. I could even introduce you to some of the others, if you'd like."
[12:28 AM]
"I'd like it if we could be friends. Are you busy with anything right now?"

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"I...that might be nice," scratches the back of his head, very slight smile. "I'm not busy, no."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Then may I come in?"

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
instinctively moves to nod, winces very slightly before he does.

"yes, if course."

opens the door wide and steps back to let him in. The room is clean but is still lacking a lot of personalisation.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
comes inside, and he waits for Leo to shut the door before saying: "I hope I didn't trigger your... compulsion. if you know what I'm talking about." he noticed that wince.
[12:44 AM]
"I try to be careful about that."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"Oh no you didn't. I just, uh..."

scratches his hair again, hesitates, then pulls his collar down a bit to show the burn scarring around his neck.

"It's hurts a little to move with this...i'm stilll getting used to it."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
his eyes widen. "I'm sorry that happened to you." hesitates. "What happened? if you don't mind me asking."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
closes eyes, takes a breath.

"one of...my owners lost some things, and he said it was my fault. So he turned on my collar..."

winces more at the memory.

"it must have been faulty because it didn't kill me. It burned, though, and it hurt..."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
is very much not smiling now. He's somber, imagining it, and becoming increasingly shaken. "It's... terrible, that they did that to you."
[1:02 AM]
takes a breath. "...luckily, the hospitals here are very good. And there may be a magical healer willing to help your condition for free."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"...The people at this school said that as well. It still feels...

He keeps himself from saying "like i deserve it," notices the change in mood eventually, frowns.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meant to upset you."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"It's fine. If anything, I should be the one apologizing. I walked headlong into an upsetting subject."
[1:16 AM]
"It's okay to discuss such things with me, if you'd like. My own injuries were healed with magic long before I came here, actually." He stops himself, wondering for a moment why he felt the need to bring those up.
[1:18 AM]
"But on a lighter note, I'm especially excited to meet you, because it seems like you have some amount of familiarity with magic. That's rare for our kind."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
blinks, seems confused.

"I...I was aware of magic before coming here, yes, some of my owners knew about it too. I don't really know anything about it though."
[1:21 AM]
"I think most of my owners didn't want me learning much." grumbles

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Ah." he seems a little confused now too. "Well... full disclosure, I know some magic myself, and I was able to tell that there is something magical about you. It..." he thinks. "It could be a latent power that you could nurture into something you can use, here. And I'd love to help you learn, if that's the case."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"Oh,"

scratches his head, tries to think back. He remembers being shown someone who was supposedly magic once, then...he can't remember what else. He frowns a little, but quickly perks up again at the second part.

"you know magic?" Looks very interested. "What sort of things do you know?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Well, the magic I learned before I came here is something you might call domestic magic. It helps me clean things faster, and make food and drinks more enjoyable for people."
[1:38 AM]
"But the thing I learned after I came here, is..." he makes a weird sound between a purr and a spoken word, and a very tiny fireball appears over his outstretched finger.
[1:38 AM]
"Some basic pyromancy."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
eyes immediately light up.

"woah..." pauses briefly, "...could I learn that too?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Maybe! You would have to tap into a different kind of power than I do, but I think you could do it."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
fidgits a little with his hands.

"I...want to have power like that. If I did...maybe I could stop people from treating me like my owners did...is that why you learned how to do that?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"... That is one of the reasons, yes. I also have a dear friend who is a fire elemental."
[1:47 AM]
"If your main goal is self defense, there are more efficient kinds of magic for that."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"I'll have to ask some of the academy people about learning, then."
[1:50 AM]
"thank you for showing me"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
smiles a little. "I might be able to help you, too. I just can't help very much with the first steps." his tiny fireball changes color and then vanishes.

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
Also smiles. " Still, I'd be glad for anything you could show me."
[2:06 AM]
"Plus...it'd be nice to spend time with more Nek0."
[2:07 AM]
"I still feel a little out of place with most other people."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
nods. "Me too... How well have you been adapting, so far?

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"I...think I'm adapting ok. My teachers say I'm learning well in school, but most Nek0 learn fast already."
[2:19 AM]
"I have so much...free time now, and so many things to do. It's...a lot"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
nods. "I found it overwhelming at first, too. It becomes more manageable with time."
[2:21 AM]
"If you learn how to use computers or if you like to spend time in the library, it becomes easier."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"I hope so...did the other nek0 you met have the same problem?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"Almost all of us, I think."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"its...good to know its not just me"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about all this. And... If you have a phone now, we can exchange numbers so you can text me."

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
"oh, right, yeah." Takes out his phone. "I'm still getting used to having this as well..."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"it took me an unusually long time to learn how to use technology. Mainly due to lack of trying, though. I would regularly get frustrated and do something else."
[2:38 AM]
"but I am an outlier." He gives his contact info and helps leo put that in the phone, if needed.

Leo (Loth)
BOT
06/21/2020
beep beep boops the info in.
[2:39 AM]
"right...well, thank you for visiting me." smiles. "i'm glad i got to meet you."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
06/21/2020
"likewise." He bows a little

Kait07/07/2020
Scene: Outside of Loi Le's home. A short, well-dressed catboy appears out of thin air.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
double-checks the address against a piece of paper in his hand. He puts it away in his jacket before ringing the doorbell.

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi's house is new and rather well put together, but clearly hasn't been occupied all that long. Decorations are relatively sparse, and it's fairly obvious even before Gany rings the doorbell. Loi himself answers, eyes dropping down to the boy on his front door.

"...Yes?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
is surprised by Loi's appearance - but he recovers his composure. "Good afternoon! I'm Ganymede Lind. I'm a NEK0, and I heard that there was another one of my kind living here."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Definitely doesn't seem surprised by the fact that Gany is a Nek0, considering the appearance. Does raise an eyebrow at the rest, though. "Oh? And who did you hear that from?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"The scouts. I asked them to tell me if they bring any others here."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Hmmms pointedly, looks Gany up and down, and then gestures for him to come inside.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
hesitates, then follows.

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"No offense meant to you, but I prefer not to talk about private matters in public." He's got a pretty nice sitting room not far into the house, with plenty of places for Gany to sit. "And I consider my history to be a private matter, generally speaking."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"Understood. I feel similarly." He will wait for Loi to sit or gesture towards the seats before doing so himself.

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi does sit fairly quickly, folding one leg over the other. "There's a sizable population of NEK0s here then? I was told there were some, but I've only run into one."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"I would say there's quite a few of us." He sits down. "Dozens, at least. Though I haven't had the opportunity to meet all of them"

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Dozens..." Taps at his chin as he considers. "Still well short of the number sold, unfortunately."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"My information is likely to be incomplete. May I have your name?"

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Lê Lợi. Or, if you prefer Western order, Lợi Lê."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
smiles. "It is nice to meet you, Loi. And..." he hesitates, not sure how to ask, "is this your house?"

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Lets out a small laugh at that. "I own it, yes. Is it unusual...? I was under the impression it was fairly standard."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
blushes a little, feeling that he might be making a fool of himself. "It might not be an unusual house, but... you are the NEK0 I was told about, correct?

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
His ears twitch slightly and he smiles at that. "Yes, I'm a NEK0. I was informed big cat genetics were fairly rare."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
looks kind of excited "And you own your own house! I almost feel like I should congratulate you. Most of us aren't able to do that.

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"I was lucky enough to be in a situation where I could be self sufficient, although I imagine that most other NEK0s were not so lucky."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
shakes his head. "I'm one of the luckier ones - and that's because I have a foster parent. I believe the majority of us live in school dorms. Though I know of one of us who has gotten his own apartment."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"It would seem I was luckier than I thought, then. Are most of the Nek0... younger? That seems to be a trend I've noticed."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"I believe I was designed to look the youngest. Though chronologically I turned six last month, so I may actually be among the oldest."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"One of the oldest, from what i've been told. I was in the second... third batch?" He waves a hand. "Inconsequential, in the long run."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"but yes, I understand most of us are designed to resemble teenagers."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Unfortunate. I was hoping for more adults, but I suppose I'll make do otherwise. You've been on the island since the first batch were retrieved by the scouts...?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"yes. Since january of last year. And - well, it seems silly to say this now, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about living here. Though, I'm sure your path here will look quite different from mine."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"It does seem as if my life was quite different from others. I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised, given our shared history, but it is what it is."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"Is it okay if I ask how you came here with your own wealth?"

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Oh, of course. The man who purchased me was a fool who used me to help with his business. Eventually he was no longer able to keep up with it himself, and I took control of most of it behind the scenes. When the scouts made contact, it was easy enough to... relocate funds and sabotage his work. Doing so also allowed me access to his personal files, which I passed on to the scouts so they could locate others who had purchased NEK0s."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
Is in awe. "That's... You're amazing, Le Loi."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Lets out another small laugh at that. "I was lucky that my circumstances allowed it."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"even having the guts to take advantage of those circumstances is incredible. I wouldn't have even dared to dream of that before I came here."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi waves off the compliment for the most part. "I don't think it's nearly as significant as you make it sound."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"In any case..." He regains his composure. "Have you... struggled with anything, since moving here?"

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Takes a moment to consider the question, and then shrugs. "Not yet. There have been some bumps, but I arrived with an open mind, and everyone's been accepting overall. It's a very nice island, I have to say."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"no problems with our... compulsion to be obedient? If anyone has told you about it."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi shakes his head. "No, I've never had much trouble with it."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"well, if it ever does pose any problems for you, I would be happy to come and use some carefully-worded suggestions, to help tou snap out of it. Since it can be scary to tell people about that feature of our minds if they don't already know."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Frankly, I don't plan to tell anyone about it period. And if anyone attempts to indulge it around me, there will be... consequences." Is that a smile? It is.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi you're so damn cool. Gany's own smile widens at that.

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"I'm glad to see you're already doing so well. Many of us struggle with... Adjusting to life here."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Truly, I can only imagine what others have been through. I understand, from the scouts, that my experience was... far from typical. Would it be inappropriate to ask what the... average is?"

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
considers. "Perhaps. Depending on the amount of detail you wish to go into, and where the discussion is being held."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
"Whatever you wish to share, then."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
is definitely not smiling anymore. "most of us are treated as property, to some degree. Abuse and exploitation are commonplace. Especially... well, there isn't a delicate way to put it." He closes his eyes and takes a breath. "We were originally invented to fulfill a particular kind of sexual fantasy."

Lợi Lê
BOT
07/07/2020
Loi definitely does not seem surprised, but nods just the same, his tone serious. "About what I expected, then. I can't imagine someone would invest that sort of money and not have those sorts of things in mind."

Ganymede Lind
BOT
07/07/2020
"many of us were also neglected, in one way or another. I was allowed to have hobbies. I can't say with any authority how common that is, but I know of some whose owners never gave them that opportunity."

Lợi Lê
BOT
