B!

[Whatever had Chen been doing?

...well, it wasn't terribly important right now.

Right now SUDDENLY DOGS.

Now, Chen was okay with dogs! Surprisingly, given that she's a nekomata and all. She is a weird cat that way.

What she is not okay with is them being all up in her face all of a sudden with like THIS MUCH warning.

So now she's squalling.]

NYA!

[And squirming and trying her best to wiggle and flail and scratch and jump her way out.]

Re: B!

[By this point, Shiemi has decided that this was a very bad job to take. But the day isn't over yet, let alone the month.]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh--

[and then the dogs were all in a pile and it sounded like there was... a cat?]

Oh no! Bad dogs! Bad dogs! Leave that cat alone!

[cat_proximity]

[Eventually, a little scrap of black fur eels free of the mass of canines, tails bottlebrushing out. Chen had shifted to her smaller cat form to make an easier escape--though this was of highly questionably wisdom, seeing as it made being crushed a very real possibility.

But, Chen had made it out with little more than...a lot of dog slobber.

...though there are a few things wrong with this cat, as it stands (besides the dog slobber). One, that it apparently has two, white tipped tails.

And second, that it was floating in midair.]

[shamelessweed]

[For a moment, Shiemi thinks the cat is Kuro, but the markings are wrong as Kuro doesn't have white tips on his tails. And Kuro doesn't float, as far as Shiemi knows.]

[A floating cat cows a few of the dogs, allowing Shiemi a chance to straighten their leashes as she stares at the cat.]

Are... are you all right?

[cat_proximity]

[The cat looks almost...dejected. At least as much as a cat can look dejected.]

There's drool on me!

[And she wiggles one of her paws a bit in distaste.]

[shamelessweed]

Ah... here!

[and Shiemi produces a soft cotton handkerchief from the pocket of her skirt]

[cat_proximity]

Nya--oh!

[Chen's ears perk back up and she promptly swoops over to butt her head against the kerchief. Then one of her shoulders, then her paws, then her back.]

Thank you...um.

[A pause.]

...what is your name?

[shamelessweed]

Moriyama. Moriyama Shiemi.

[She glances at the now dog drool covered handkerchief then tucks it back into her pocket. Thank goodness she's excellent at laundry.]

[cat_proximity]

[Chen trills, surprised.]

Your name sounds like the frog god's! Almost.

[She also notices the rather sadly damp kerchief, and the cat butts her now dry head against the girl with a purr in apology.]

[shamelessweed]

Frog god?

[It's okay kitty, her handkerchiefs have been worse. She smiles as the cat butts her, and uses her free hand to rub her ears gently.]

[cat_proximity]

[Another trill--this one rather pleased.]

Moriya Suwako-kami!

[...they totally sound alike.]

[shamelessweed]

[... Shiemi actually agrees]

They do sound a bit alike!
