[flicker_flash]

[...so it's come to one small child's attention that Superman is somewhere in this village.

This calls for immediate action. Because Superman is cool. But how does one meet the world's greatest superhero? Talking to him on the journals is right out. He could be too busy running around saving the ...village... from certain doom. Or breaking through

[It's snowing heavily, and Archie's still out for a walk because his apartment is feeling too small. Again. And it's a particularly melancholy day. Again. So when he hears the mewling, it breaks him from a pensive state and makes him look around. It takes some time for him to look up, though, and when he sees the fluff-ball in the tree, he watches it cry for a moment, then gives a sudden laugh that resembles a giggle. Seeing a kitten on a bad day can be surprisingly therapeutic.]

You too, eh?

So apparently I slept for a very long time >>

[flicker_flash]

[Her plan is somewhat complicated by all the snow. But a cold is nothing in the face of actually meeting Superman, right? Katie adjusts her grip and glances down at the giggle-laugh, wondering if someone's making fun of a kitten. Doesn't seem like it.

She slides down half a foot to give him a closer look with a small flick of her tail. You're not Superman either, you know. But still. She'll meow right back at him as if in agreement.]

[noprevaricating]

[He's making fun of her a little bit, but no more than he's also making fun of himself. He feels like he's stranded in a tree, too. When the critter slides down, it gives him enough cause to kick into action.]

Well, hold on till I get there, at least. [Up he jumps, catching the first branch and beginning to climb with the experience of someone who, well, lived on a ship for the last fourteen years.]

[flicker_flash]

[Oh, he's fast.

W-wait, is he coming to get her down? That's just not on. Katie meows at him again and starts scurrying further up the tree. You'll never catch her alive B|]

[Rangiku is out for a walk in the snow with her umbrella. The piteous sound catches her attention, and she looks up.]

Why, hello there.

[flicker_flash]

[Oh hey, she knows you. Have a little meow of greeting. Two of them, even; one for your sword. And Katie scrabbles just a little higher on her tree and tries not to look quite so in-peril-of-her-life, because well, really. >.>]

[ashesandpearls]

[...that cat just nodded in greeting.

Huh.

This bears closer investigation, so Rangiku gathers some reiatsu to just... hover on the same level as the kitten.]

You are a very polite cat.

[flicker_flash]

[That's cheating, Rangiku. Katie will just grip onto her tree for dear life and hope you're not going to rescue her. >.> Meow.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune just happens to be in the neighbourhood when she hears that mew. Why is she here? Who knows what seems like a good idea to her at the time?

She looks way, way up.] Oh my, what a cute little kitten. Hello, Mrs. Kitty!

[flicker_flash]

[Hello, pretty lady. Katie would like to inform you she's too young to be a Mrs, but she's a little far up. Instead, she'll meow down at you with a plaintive edge and cling to her tree a little tighter. She might not have her superheroes yet, but sympathy is always a plus. |D]

[lostinmyway]

Oh dear, are you stuck up there, Mrs. Kitty? Hmmm....

[flicker_flash]

[Shaking her head. No offence, lady, but you don't seem like superhero material to her. Never mind cats don't normally do that, but hey.]

[dakingofawesome]

[... what the heck is that dumb cat doing up there?]

[flicker_flash]

[Staring down at you like she's thinking of pretending she's a ninja assassin and dropping down on your head, Bowser.

...though that's one pretty princessey echo right there. Looks rather familiar.]

[dakingofawesome]

Don't even think about it!

[He can read kitty faces, what? Hey, wasn't there this block guy who wanted him to collect blitties? Maybe if Bowser inhales this one, he can make it look blocky later.]

[flicker_flash]

[Freezing. Thinking of what, what are you talking about. >.> She's not wondering whether dropping onto your back kills you or not, nooo. ...okay, she might be wondering it, but she's not about to test it. That would be murder.

...why are you looking at her like that. Maybe she should scurry higher.]

[trueraretalent]

[Oh no! Is that an animal in trouble? Because she really really looks like she's in trouble. Where's Fawn when you need her? Tink's animal skills are less than stellar, but she'll give it her best try. Flying up to the kitten in a streak now.]

Hey! Little kitten, you okay? How'd you get all the way up here?

8D

[flicker_flash]

[And then there is a scrabbling and flailing because (a) that was a surprise, and (b) omg Tinkerbell (that is Tinkerbell, right?) and with a startled yowl Katie...loses her grip and falls down several branches. Oops.]

Gosh that icon is cute!

[trueraretalent]

Oh no!

[Minor flailing and flitting around. There might be just a little too much pixie dust being flung around right now too in the frantic reaction.]

What happened?! Are you hurt? We have to get you down.

[How does this work for the animal fairies? They get attention, establish trust and then work their magic. Um...]

Thanks! |D I need more of them >> /has all of five

[flicker_flash]

[Clinging to her new branch, she shakes her head.] I think I broke all of my legs.

[She's perfectly fine. |D But more important things!] Are you really Tinkerbell? Or a Never? [And this is where she tries to bat out at all that raining pixie dust and slides off the side of the branch with a small yelp and hangs by her paws.]
