[ Ariadne's network device turns on while pressed into some fabric, so it's rather hard to see anything. There are noises, however, adorable noises that sound remarkably like squeaks and purrs. Suddenly there's light and a rush of movement, the device being knocked over

Um... Ariadne?

[oneminutemaze]

[ In response, there is an utterly pathetic mew and a paw toward the network device. ]

[totallyinaband]

[Oh god. Stop doing that, woman. Stephen Stills is a cat person and you are too cute to be allowed.]

Damn, glad it's you, dude. Or else I'm just a crazy guy talking to a jungle cat. Uh, you alright? Can you get out of your room on your own?

[When Stephen was cursed into something bipedal, doorknobs became a huge problem.]

[oneminutemaze]

[ No she will not, because she has just turned into a baby cheetah and adorable is all she knows how to do in this form.

As it is, Ariadne mews again, tilting her head to one side. She really has no idea whether she can get out or not, but at this point, she's rather content to stay inside and not be assaulted by Pancake or Rhada... or Eames, or Arthur, or Yusuf... ]

[totallyinaband]

[Noooooooo! Now his heart will feel mushy this entire conversation. That is so not manly.]

Okay, uh. Mew once for yes, twice for no. Do you need help?

[oneminutemaze]

[ You're not the one who's been turned into a baby cheetah, Stephen. You don't get to complain.

Does she need help? Yes, some help getting back to her human form would be wonderful. That's one mew. ]

[totallyinaband]

[He was turned into a deer a month ago. Do you know how difficult doing anything with hooves and antlers is?]

Do you need me to bring you anything?

[oneminutemaze]

[ It's probably a good thing she doesn't actually know that, or she would be giggling, which would probably just sound like a great deal of squeaking in her current state.

Another single mew. ]

[totallyinaband]

Do you need food?

[oneminutemaze]

[ Food? Food sounds nice. One mew for yes. ]

[totallyinaband]

Okay, I'll be right over.

[Stephen will start assembling some stuff he knows Little Neil and Gideon eat. Cheetahs are like cats, right? He's for sure not giving her any raw meat. He made that mistake himself.]

[oneminutemaze]

[ Ariadne curls up on her cardigan to wait, resting her head on her paws. If nothing else, the knowledge that Stephen had been turned into a werewolf before and knew how to deal with this sort of thing was comforting. ]

[totallyinaband]

[He goes ahead and lets himself in. She probably can't use door.]

Ariadne? Uh, I brought tuna?

[oneminutemaze]

[ The one good thing about being a feline is the grace. Though she's been turned into a cub, that grace is still there, and she rises and pads over to his legs with a soft, rumbly purr before rubbing her face against him as a thank you. ]

[totallyinaband]

[He ducks down runs his knuckles over the top of her head. You are too cute not to be touched, lady.]

Who're you holding up?

[oneminutemaze]

[ There's another pleased purr at his knuckles, and Ariadne presses into his hand. She can't exactly answer him, but she'll lightly paw at his leg again. She's fine, other than the part where she's a baby cheetah a few days after her apartment went up in flames. ]
