RISE AND SHINE

[vdrmods]

[It's a lovely morning! You feel refreshed, content--

--and this is not where you went to sleep at all. What the hell, DR.]

[frowning and waking up when he feels the weight.

...who is this even.]

[madasacatter]

And 'ere morn rises
But does she know the right way up?

[donereasoning]

[...blinks. what?]

[madasacatter]

Aye, for truth, a fool indeed.
It has no words to meet it's need.
It best think quickly, with morning's speed.

[donereasoning]

[...it's too early for this.]

You mean me?

[madasacatter]

I mean a lot of things.

Useful habit; gets most covered.

[donereasoning]

[...why does that make sense.]

Useful, indeed. [Anyway, there are more pressing (literally) matters.] Why are you here?

[madasacatter]

[here? you mean on top of your wardrobe?]

Here?

[atop your dresser?]

There?

[flopped back crosswise on your bed?]

I haven't the faintest idea! It's so easily lost...

[donereasoning]

[He sits up, staring at her. A hologram? Some kind of illusion?

...only one way to test that. He nudges her with his foot.]

[madasacatter]

[we are solid and slightly squishy]

[also rolling away from you because :|]

Your mother never taught you how to treat cats?

[donereasoning]

[Oh, she's real.]

I have no mother, and the only cats I've known were killed during testing.

[madasacatter]

For shame. This must be the output of a child born of man. I knew there'd be downsides.

[donereasoning]

Don't call me that. I'm not a child, and I wasn't 'born' from man. I was merely created -- built, manufactured, assembled -- by their hands.

[He frowns and kicks in her direction threateningly.]

You know nothing.

[madasacatter]

[we're back to being perched on your dresser]

Of course I know nothing! If I did not, I'd fear life would be so terribly dull!

[donereasoning]

'Ignorance is bliss'... is that it?

[madasacatter]

If the saying goes it must be true.
