M-my chicken has been changed into a cat . . . person.  Thing.  Is this because . . . because I fed it too much?  Perhaps it evolved out of happiness . . . The caviar may have been excessive . . .  As I don't suppose it would still be willing to be my Christmas feast, I must inquire what else is traditionally served on this holiday.

Well, I should hope I'm not a Christmas feast.

[thelostseraph]

Ah! Lo, it can speak. Now kindly tell me what you have done with my chicken.

[kittycatpillow]

Me? Nothing at all.

[thelostseraph]

Then shall I assume you are my chicken, transformed by my kindly care into the prince of some far-off kingdom of cats?

[kittycatpillow]

Hmm, something like that, yeah.

[thelostseraph]

Very well. Then I should expect at least one wish to be fulfilled. Perhaps even three. It has been a while since I read up on children's fairy tales.

[kittycatpillow]

...Okay, then. Name your wishes and I'll see what I can do about them.

[thelostseraph]

. . . I shall have to think more carefully. One does not come across mystical, wish-granting cat-fairies every day.

[kittycatpillow]

Well, you know, I can't grant all wishes. So you might wanna think up a few extras just in case.

[thelostseraph]

Hmm. Then I shall strive to keep them mundane.

Wish the First, you must inform me which type of caviar you most preferred the night you spent as a chicken. If you do not recall, I have more samples in my room.

[kittycatpillow]

That's... a wish?

All right, then~ Show me the samples, and I'll point out the one I liked most.

[thelostseraph]

Ah, good. Most on this island are not so adventurous.

Set something on fire once and you never hear the end of it . . .

[kittycatpillow]

Adventurous? Oh dear. What did I eat?

[thelostseraph]

Oh, the roe is quite fresh. Do not be alarmed if you feel any wriggling in your mouth.

Ah. My mistake. This is the sea urchin batch. Carry on.

[kittycatpillow]

...Isn't that poisonous without proper preparations?

[thelostseraph]

Ah, you are mistaking it for blowfish, the one you consumed when you first entered the room.
