[lackingrepose]

[There's something that sounds like the rustling of leaves and bushes. Gil is walking by the Golden District's forest. Perhaps he should have made a left turn instead of a right?]

Where am I? I could have sworn this was the way to...

[There's a low growl and hiss of a cat.]

W-W-W-WHAT IS THAT!?!?

[Another loud hiss, more rustling of bushes.

'Monster cat from hell'? [lina makes a face at the seal on her mantle. this place is nuts. the people...worse. if they bothered to do or say anything at all.

she strolls along her way, squinting up at buildings for signs or some notion of...wherever the hell she could be. and hey, maybe finding gourry wouldn't be such a bad id--]

Mm? [she hears footsteps. fast ones. she glances over her shoulder and--]

GYAH-!!

action

[lackingrepose]

[And Gil falls right on his butt. Ouch, that hurt. He's shaking all over and he looks like he just saw a ghost.]

A giant cat thing! It was big and.. Oh God it was enormous!

action

[balls_on_fire]

Ow-! [tiny girl, delicate tailbone! she shoots right up in a hot fury:] What the hell is your problem you nearsighted jerk!? [wait-] And who are you calling enormous?!

action

[lackingrepose]

S-Sorry! I didn't mean to!

[Blinks and shakes his head quickly.]

No I didn't mean you! I meant the cat! It was huge! It was some kind of monster cat!

action

[balls_on_fire]

...

[she scowls, annoyed. flatly:] A monster cat.

action

[lackingrepose]

[He stands up and nods.]

Yes! It was a million times larger than a normal house cat! It was back in that forest!

action

[balls_on_fire]

Yeah, yeah... [she gets up, dusting her legs and backside off.] And you realize you're not in the forest anymore, right? So you can stop running around like a maniac already.

action

[lackingrepose]

[Shrugs.]

I really do apologize for... Running you over like that. I didn't mean to, honestly.

I wonder, If there's a beast like that in the forest, then what other dangerous things could be lurking about?

action

[balls_on_fire]

[you just ran into one of them son.

er.

hff.] Probably the standards? Trolls, beastmen, wolves, bandits...[she squints an eye up at him.] You sure you just didn't run into some cat-beastman thing?

action

[lackingrepose]

[Sighs. He's having one hell of a night.]

I'm sure it was a cat. And it looked like it had teeth lining it's back. I was on my way to the market and got lost over by the forest.

action

[balls_on_fire]

Tsk. [the directional skills of dear gourry. lina scratches a hand through her bangs, frowning.] Nnh, that doesn't sound like anything I've ever seen before. [hmm.] Mazoku...?

[beat.

shrug!]

Welp! Guess you'll just have to show me if I'm gonna be sure!

action

[lackingrepose]

S-Show you!?

[Shakes his head.]

No way. I'm not going back there! I don't want to be eaten by some killer monster cat!

I'm going to the grocers and then I'm going home to cook dinner.

action

[balls_on_fire]

[a pitying look, folding her arms.]

Well, see, you can either show me where this hideous monster is so I can kill it, orrr...[a nonchalant shrug goes here.] Or you cook me a meal as an apology for running me over.

action

[lackingrepose]

[Frowns. Well, he certainly doesn't want to become any feline's play toy. That's out of the question.]

Alright, you've got yourself a free dinner. You know where the grocer's is?

action

[balls_on_fire]

[tiny victory fistpump! chipper:] Nope!

action

[lackingrepose]

[Damn it.]

I guess we'll just have to rely on sense of direction then. That or ask someone how to get there.
