8th Trauma

[wondering_eye]

[Residents of Williams Road may have noticed an abnormal increase in the number of animals hanging around the street today. There's a reason for this: all day Satori has been bringing her various pets home. Cats, dogs, birds, squirrels - if Mayfield has them, she's adopted at least one

[Oh look, Satori, when you get back Yamame will be in your yard, frolicking and playing with the animals you've accumulated like she's the princess in some goddamn Disney movie.]

[wondering_eye]

...Hello, Kurodani.

[thug_disease]

[Yamame stops frolicking long enough to give Satori an enthusiastic wave, and trots right up to her.]

You sure got a lotta animals! Just like back home!!

[Oh god, that smile. How could you possibly resist that smile, Satori.]

[Koishi just happens to be home during one of Satori's return trips! There's a bird perched on her hand, and she's smiling as she pets the tiny head with one finger.

Of course, her attention turns away from it as soon as Satori walks in, and the smile widens a bit.]

Now this place is really starting to feel like home, don't you think?

[wondering_eye]

Maybe just a bit.

[thirdeyeclosed]

So, do they all have names? I don't know who's who yet.

[wondering_eye]

Only some of them do. This is Hideo...

[She points to the orange cat.]

...and the one in your hand is Yuzu. You can name some of them if you'd like.

[Sulpher's exploring the town when he sees Satori. Huh, how curious.]

[wondering_eye]

[Satori notices Sulpher and peers at him curiously.]

Oh...I don't think I've met you before.

[She kneels and holds out a hand.]

[overrealm]

[A meow. No, he just recently arrived the other day. He's not too sure what to make of all of this, really.

The drone mother in the house he woke up in is certainly unimpressive, though.]

[wondering_eye]

You don't have to be shy...I'm not going to hurt you.

...I can talk with you, if you'd like. Through your thoughts.

[Howdy, neighbor! Crowe has realized his own cat has wandered off again, but this time just to the neighbor's house to hang with apparently every other animal in town.]

Watson? Are you-- whoa.

[wondering_eye]

[Satori is petting Crowe's cat.]

Oh, is this one yours?

[perfektsymmetry]

[Watson is a big, lazy white tomcat. He totally enjoying the love.]

Ah, yeah. Sort of. He really seems to just go wherever he wants, though.

[wondering_eye]

That makes sense. In cats' minds, the world is theirs.

[Merem is kneeling down and has a bunch of animals gathered around him. THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING A CONVERSATION.]

[wondering_eye]

[Satori watches somewhat conspicuously from a distance...]

[wise_king]

[herp he's giggling and everyone seems fairly happy

wat do]

[wondering_eye]

[She kneels down next to him.]

Are they all yours?
