River deep, could I know you as well as you know me [Locked]

[prince_stupid]

In the air over the Chicago river, a rift opens and a cat drops through and into the water below. There's no yowl, no flailing limbs, just a very startled--and somewhat affronted--expression before the abnormally large feline hits the river and disappears momentarily from sight. When he bobs back to the surface, he starts paddling rather aimlessly

He takes a moment to contemplate the fact that Sark actually answered him like an intelligent animal before he answers. "And how does falling through the 'Rift' create a river? I have experienced many strange things, but I will say this, I have never encountered such a phenomenon. It is one about which even Tag does not know, I should think."

This, too, requires a moment of thought. Ha! Something Tag doesn't know! He will have to tell the kittens about it.
