[ So, at the prompting of more than one horrified bystander, Nepeta's making the switch from squirrel blood to actual paint. A girl's got to have proper materials for illustrating her ships, after all! You can find her in the general store, seeming oddly skittish as she browses through one aisle, looking for a bucket of the best green paint

[So. Jade had just been taking out an innocent walk! And normally she would've minded her business, but... this just caught her attention.]

... Nepeta?

[tacklepounce]

[ Nepeta's inner cat makes distressed hissing sounds, but she's not much in a roleplaying mood right now. Her flushed feelings for Jade seem to have faded since Valentine's, but still, it's not who she was hoping to run into. The paint bucket under her arm is half-hidden by the jacket she wears, but still pretty obvious. ]

Jade! Umm, hi.

[realitywarping]

What are you doing?

[Whatever she's doing is pretty confusing, since... what's going on to make Nepeta act like she is now?]

[tacklepounce]

Nothing!

[ That was so convincing and not at all suspicious. So convincing. ]

[realitywarping]

Are you sure? You seem like you're acting like something is wrong!

[tacklepounce]

Nothing's wrong! I just went out to buy some human paint.

[ She doesn't seem to be lying, but... lots of blushing here. ]

[realitywarping]

Oh! Are you working on painting something?

[She doesn't really get why Nepeta is blushing, but... :|a]

[tacklepounce]

I wanted to decorate my wall...

[ After Valentine's, Jade might even be on it! ]
