Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"I was more thinking Onyx. I honestly don't know about her, since she's a human but also a cat at the same time?" I say, confused.

 

"Catfolk reproduce." Alice shrugs. "I'm just saying, Muffy isn't big on outside opinions."

 

I peek out of the feel to check if the owner(s) of the sounds are visible.

"Uhm,"
Crystal thinks for a few seconds.
"We could ask someone about that map we saw in the cafe."

 

"Would they have kittens in their cat form or kitten-babies in their human form? Or would it be dependant on which form they were in when they were impregnated in or giving birth in?" I ask, "I have so many questions."

 

The dungeon seems to be one corridor that goes on for a fair distance. You can see the end wall, so anything you do or say is just about heard by everyone else.

Pause.
"...Oh, about Vyraxis?"

"Well, apparently they were hunted, so you have about one to work with right now."

 

"I wouldn't think they were hunted to extinction. Onyx said the people who lived near to her didn't like her kind because they were part cat and considered 'Unnatural', but that doesn't mean they were especially hunted everywhere," I say, "Besides, I'm not going to try and impregnate Onyx just to see what happens. She's still got the mind of a person, and so should be considered such."

 

I back up to the back of my cell, and try activating the crystal.

"I dunno, is that one of the places that was crossed out on the map?"

 

"I didn't say you should do that, I'm saying you should look for more."

It opens up a portal in the floor, which you fall through into Xlentia's palace.

"It was a currency exchange chart."

 

"I guess. Maybe I could find Onyx's family or some kind of kingdom of cats." I say, shrugging.

 

I make sure I land softly, before looking around to see where I am in the palace.

"Oh, well, we can ask about that, too, but what about the map?"

 

"...That sounded more awkward out loud than I thought it would."

You're in Xlentia's chambers, Xlentia herself napping the day away.

Linoa pauses.
"Hope you remember, because I think Muffy ate that thought."

 

"A kingdom of cats sounds cute." I say happily.

 

I make my way to the portal room, flying.

"Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong."
Crystal decides.

 

"That sounds like the name of a section in a pet store." Alice chuckles.

The only thing stopping you is that, for the first time since the seige, her door is shut tight.

"I mean, you might not be, and Muffy messes with me all the time. If you remember, let me know."

 

"I sort of imagine a castle made out of cardboard with lots of cats napping in small boxes," I say, laughing slightly, "And inside the castle there's a big box, and a cat with a cardboard crown painted yellow sits in it."

 

Alice rolls her eyes.
"Knowing you, something tells me you'll fund that in your palace."

 

"I gave Onyx a cardboard box, and she seems to enjoy it." I say, shrugging.

 

"More cats and more boxes and you'd practically have that." She snickers.

 

"I guess, but a lot of cats is a lot of responsibility." I say.

Artemis walks over, "What are you two talking about?" She asks happily.

"Cats." I say.

 

"Very good. Notify me once you've sent everything through so that I may not waste energy." I say, ending the link and opening a portal to the ruins.
