the ethics you choose

Finally finally finally! Some people talked too much and were so much the wrong person to interrupt just to get a dammed door opened. Getting locked in a classroom was bad enough, of course, but being locked in a room with Norma Daftsun was so much worse.

Her laugh put Yun's hair on end alone, but she was also a serious supporter of the black cat familiar trope and was not good at listening to reason, outright refusals, or threats of death and dismemberment and mutilation.

She and her friend had finally left, though, and Yun was streaking for Danny's room for both stress relief and to tell him what he'd heard, since that had actually been useful.

"DANNY!" he yowled at the top of his feline lungs. "LET ME IN!"

Yun bolted into the room the instant the door started to open, not caring that he whacked it with his shoulder and ribs. That was later Yun's problem.

"I want to have access to thumbs again, mostly," he grumbled, "but more immediately and less standardly, that lack of access did end up telling me what one of your competitors has up their ethics-limited sleeve."

Ugh sudden light. Yun sprang onto the desk and closed his eyes until he felt his pupils contract enough. It didn't take long but he didn't have the patience to deal with angry eyes.

"Yes. Election. That one person running for secretary who's being helped by Norma, that freaky annoying witch who keeps trying to pull that old stupid 'black cats are witches' familiars' bullshit."

"I wasn't spying! I got locked in a classroom with her, one of the old ones that only has freaking door knobs. I couldn't get out until she or her friend left and they just wanted to talk, talk, talk."

"I had class in there and there were a bunch of handouts I was expected to take with me. Folding paper so paws and a cat body can carry it without setting it on fire is disgustingly hard."

There was also a lack of paper on his person, and the presence of some ash. "Especially the fire part. And I am NOT asking that freakzoid for anything! She'd just try to use it against me and you know it."
