a question for the ages.

We are mostly still alive, yes? Good. That is the way I prefer it. Now, I have more pressing concerns best addressed without demons ruining everyone's fun.

[The crinkle of a magazine being browsed comes through the communicator.]

Why would a cat require such fetching leather boots? Are they perhaps the secret to how he is so dashing?

I take it by the "he" you're not talking about me.

[niceassassin]

[A chuckle.]

I appreciate your boots, my dear, but they are not quite my style.

Voice;

[meowminx]

What is your style, then?

Voice;

[niceassassin]

Ah, a little "old-fashioned" by your standards, I fear.

[ IGNORING THAT MORE PRESSING CONCERN because what the crap. also she has better things to do. like pretend to be totally casual about this. ]

Mostly still alive is right. I think Illidan is still dead.

[A fractional pause, because since when has Khisanth deigned to speak to him, and how is he supposed to feel about it?

He's supposed to pretend not to feel anything about it, that's how.]

As it should be. It would be most tiresome if he started the whole business up again.

[fantasycliche]

I'm starting to think he'll just die any time he tries it. It's been the pattern so far.

[niceassassin]

I suspect there are some who would lend this pattern a helping hand.

[Her voice is quiet and almost monotone, but faintly curious. Perhaps a touch shy. She feels stupid asking this, but...]

A cat... wearing boots?

voice;

[niceassassin]

Ah, it's merely a story, my dear. But a rather intriguing one.

voice;

[timesaving]

... Wouldn't the cat be uncomfortable?

voice;

[niceassassin]

I think he may be a magical cat.

voice.

[10yeargap]

Cats wear boots here?

[He's new here, he's not quite use to how things work yet.]

voice.

[niceassassin]

Only in those marvelous things they call the movies.

voice;

[fishnets]

It's cute.

voice;

[niceassassin]

And he plans to use this cuteness to secure himself a place in all our hearts? How cunning.

voice;

[fishnets]

Exactly. [Sure, why not?] Ah, if only you could turn into a cat... you'd have it made.

voice;

[niceassassin]

I think I have just caught onto your plan, Zatanna. "Cat" is a very easy word to say backwards, yes? And then all the laps in the City are yours for the taking.
