The Apartment Above The Boards, Wednesday Night

[whateverknight]

The wildcat that Jono had been taking care of for the past two weeks paced back and forth in front of a door grumpily. Behind the door was something very, very important to him -- he was a little fuzzy on details -- and he absolutely needed to get at it

There were a lot of things that the finch didn't like. She didn't like the yowls and growls on the other side of the door. She didn't like being stuck in here. She didn't like being alooooooone with no one paying atteeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnntion to her.

... she was not quite smart enough to realize that the more she trilled out her boredom, the more the wildcat attacked the door handle. Whether that stupidity was attributable to the "finch" part or the "Rinoa" part is left for the reader to decide.

When the door clattered open, she swooped up into the air, and -- oh! It was him, the vicious evil no-good thing that kept trying to eat her. She flapped her wings furiously so he would see how big and scary she was, and squawked. Big! Scary!

And then she dive-bombed, claws out, aiming right at his head. Take that!

The suddenness of the door's opening had caught the Sqwildcat off-guard and ruined his balance. He'd gotten back to his feet and was busy pretending he'd meant to do that when the finch attacked.

Oh! Oh! THAT was the important thing! The yummy lunch! It was HIS AND ONLY HIS! ...Now if only it would stop clawing him and let him chase it like a good little important thing. He hissed grumpily and swiped a paw at the bird.

Finchnoa dodged the swipe, squawking what sounded like an unhappy reply. In fact, if she could have raspberried at the Sqwildcat, she would have. Neener neener neener! He was totally --

And that was the Finchnoa smacking right into a floor lamp. Thing. Ow! Who put that there?! Look that was mean and whoever did that should be fired or maybe set on fire. And it was probably the wildcat's fault. Entirely his fault. Everything sucked and yes okay she should watch where she was going but it was sort of hard with a stupid ugly wildcat chasing after her so she was going to start dodging and weaving around other bits of furniture. Take that, stupid wildcat! See if you could get this high!

Hint: he couldn't because he was fat and stupid and didn't have wings hth.

The Important Thing was getting away!!! The wildcat wasn't fat OR stupid, but it was very true that he didn't have wings. When the Finchnoa flew too high for him to reach, he had to jump on chairs and tables and other things that were entirely too wobbly and thing-covered. Hopefully Jono didn't like those things, because they'd been knocked onto the floor, now.

... The Sqwildcat skidded to a stop and peered over the edge of the table at some of the broken things on the floor. That was interesting! But they'd stopped moving now, so they weren't as fun as the finch. Back to the chase!!!

He knocked over a chair and started running faster, trying to catch up with the bird.
