Patrolling the city was familiar, a comfortable pasttime in an uncomfortable setting. Spider-Man leapt from rooftop to rooftop, none quite tall enough to enable webslinging. That was okay, though. Shorter buildings made for shorter jumps and easier pit stops.

So when he saw what looked like a woman lying along one of the buildings near the park, he had to stop and check it out.

"What's new, pussycat?" he tried, crouching next to her and trying not to surprise her too much. "You're no Black Cat, but close enough, I guess."

"My fur is very white, in fact," Kagari retorted before inclining her head to the park. "I'm people-watching."

She waved a hand to include the whole setting. "I like the grass and trees best in all of the rock and buildings." Then she pointed to the two people. "And that child reminds me of my boi, meeting with his father, the demonspawn that the man became." It would have been a little like foreshadowing, if she knew T-Bag from any other monkey-ear on the street.

Then she turned back to the being that had joined her. "What are you?"

[5pider_man]

"Your boy?" So she was a mother? Hmm. Spidey wasn't really sure what to say to that. "Not exactly on good terms with the ex, then."

What was he? Under the mask, he smirked. "I'm a who, not a what, but if you must know..." He bowed his head and extended his palm in mock formality.

"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, at your service."

[imurvixen]

"That is a very long name," Kagari remarked, squinting at him. "You don't look like a normal monkey-ear to me..." She looked up and down at his outfit. "Your skin is two- no, three different colors..."

She reached up to grab his hand and shook it. "I am Kagari, a Ribika from Kira." It was how the monkey-ears greeted each other, after all - or so Sezero had told her.

Then her ears perked up. "Ex? What does 'ex' mean?" The sound meant nothing to her.

[5pider_man]

Great, another one who came from the Planet of No Humor. Spidey sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Spider-Man's fine, or any derivative of. Not quite sure what you mean by 'monkey-ear,' because mine are human-shaped, but this," he said, pulling the fabric back on his arm, "is just a suit. It's not my actual skin."

He shook his head, keeping an eye out on the boy and the man who'd appeared. "Nice to meet you, Kagari. Well, you said that you had a kid and that dude down there reminded you of his "demonspawn" father. I'd say you had a pretty bad relationship."

[imurvixen]

Her ears flicked again as he pulled back the costume. "Oh! It's clothing!"

Kagari turned back to look at the boy. "There was no relationship between us. The father got the mother killed, so I took the boi in. He was not to blame, after all."

[imurvixen]

"I wonder if they know each other... it looks like they're speaking," Kagari noted. The fact that it was late didn't bother her, considering all Ribika could function just as well at night as during the day.

[5pider_man]

His attention turned back to what was going on down below. You didn't need Spider Sense to tell there was a bad situation going on.

Tensing up almost instantly, Spidey crouched at the edge of the building. "We have to stop him. I know that type of guy... what he's gonna try to do."

[imurvixen]

Kagari stood up next to the Spider-Man and pointed. "And now there's a green woman with him!" Her tail twitched, interested. She looked back at the Spider-Man curiously. "Is hers full-body clothing as well?"

Then she realized he was genuinely concerned. "But... the woman... should we go down and speak to them, to make sure?" Back in Kira, she knew the culture - she would have that sort of feeling Peter Parker was getting that something was wrong between his fellow humans. Kagari, however, didn't have that sort of intuition for the situation.

She bent her legs, ready to jump and follow him if he moved. "I'll go with you, if you want!" She was curious more than anything else about the whole thing.

[imurvixen]

Finally, her inquisitiveness got the better of her, and she jumped off the building, heading for the pair of people talking.
