Certain people may know what the kitten is.

*Lyrebird would see the box and walk towards it, noticing the kitten inside* "Huh, well look at that! A kitten! I wonder how long it has been here..."

*its mewls were a little bit off. Instead of the classic mew, it made a sound similar to mro*

"I wonder why nobody took this one? They are so cute!"

*it's longer than usual tail waved about*

*Lyrebird would pick up the cat* "Guess I will adopt you then!"

Mro mo!

*Darth Swede looked towards the box and then walked to it, he picked it up and tilted his head while breathing slowly.*

*it mewled proudly, clearly knowing this*

* He still held the kitty as he continued patting it, even when people walked by.*

Mromo!

"Huh-?"

Mo! Mro!

* The Sith lord shrugged the problem off and still held the kitten while starting to walk.*

*the kitten mewled of joy to experience what all of the others had*

“I will show you the Star Destroyer, little kitty...”

*He continued patting the cat while walking as a large Star Destroyer(technically his home) was seen in the distance.*

*it tilted it's head in curiosity* mro?

“I want to show you around my ship.”

Mro?

* The Sith lord picked up the kitten carefully, looking at it.*

"Now you're a special one..."

*it tilted it's head* Mro!

* He patted the kittens head.*

*It purred, rubbing it's head against his hand*

"Oh you little adorable kitten..."

*it's tail, which after taking a moment to look at seemed longer than a usual cat's tail, swished happily back and forth*

*He had yet not noticed, but continued patting it.*

Mro mro!

"Whos a cute kitty? You are!"

*it purred, it's sea green(I accidentally blended the colored pencil colors) eyes glistening of joy*

* He hugged the kitten.*

*a la kitten hug*

"Aww..."

*it's purring began to sound more affectionate*

* He patted it more.*

*it's purring got even more intense*

* Darth Swede looked at the kitten for a moment.*

*it looked up to his face* mro?

"You sure are adorable."

Mro mro!

"Are you hungry?"

Momro.

* He tilted his head.*

Mro mo moro

"Huh?"

*it rolled onto its back*

hey i remember you

hm?

recognize this image?

Pootis

Haruka: aw, hey there kitty! here, why don't we go to some shelter and dry you off, ok? *they pick up the kitty and runs back to their bike. Haruka is just as soaking wet as the kitty, but they're also keeping it warm under their cardigan*

*it's pupils narrowed into slits, and it swung itself until it managed to bite Haruka*

*It's teeth sank into the teenager's arm, but the teen didn't flinch. Mo-Cat couldn't help but accidentally taste the flesh, only to find it wasn't flesh; it was wax*
Haruka: what the hell is a Mo-Cat?

*it was shocked at the fact that nothing began* Nyo.. infyecton?

Haruka: no shit Sherlock, I'm a wax figure. now, what are you? some kind of weird Nekomatta?
(Nekomatta are 2-tailed Cat Spirits similar to Kitsunes in Japanese folklore. mysterious and sneaky, they can be both wild and domestic, though the breed as a whole are just domesticated cats with 2 tails)

*the Mo-cat was stunned* If yer a wax fyigure, then I have no use byeing here.

Haruka: what are you? like really, what are you? can you just answer me that?

I alyeady told yew, a Mocat.

Haruka: but what is a Mo-Cat? a human? a spirit? like, what is your species? biologically?

Ya really need it purther expyained? *It sighed* I'm a little thing called a Latex. We either infect hoomans, or slow em down for other latexes. That simple enough for ya?

Haruka: Latex? you mean, that kind of rubber- *there's a knock on the door and Haruka almost drops the Mocat- wait, no, the Latex* Nick! Do not come in! *but the door opened and the boy from earlier came in. it was a living boy, a human boy*

*Surprisingly enough, Nya-Chan didn't try anything on Nick. It just made joyful expressions and motions*

*Nick looked at the cat and tilted his head towards the rainbow. "do you want to find what's at the end?" seemed to be the unspoken question*

*it's eyes lit up, seeming to understand the silent*

*Nick smiled at the cat before placing it on the ground and walked over to the rainbow*

*it followed, with curiosity in it's eyes*

*The two went to where the rainbow touched down, but there was nothing there except a small miniature shrine. a cat figurine sat on the roof of the little trinket*

*it's eyes lit up once again* Mro me mo!

*Nick placed the "cat" down so it could inspect the trinket*

*the "cat" ran next to it, then mimicked the statues pose*

*Nick let out a soft laugh before picking up the trinket and the Mocat before bringing it back to the house. an angry Haruka greeted them, signing to Nick, who frowned. he placed the cat over his shoulder and signed back, slightly agitated, before tossing the little cat-shrine back to Haruka. the blonde caught it, looking at it and turning it over in their hands. they glared at the Latex and nodded to Nick before taking the shrine trinket away. Nick picked the cat back up and smiled at it*

*the latex played coy, acting as if it was just a little kitten*

*Nick looked at the kitten and held his hand out. did he want to play with the Latex? Haruka shook their head quickly and sternly, gripping the cat a little bit tighter. Nick frowned and tilted his head. Haruka glared at the cat*
Haruka: if I put you down, will you run away?

*it wriggled a little bit, mewling*

Haruka: *rolls their eyes* Nick is deaf, he won't hear you talk. just give me your answer

No myatter what, I'll just go to reunite with the rest of em.

Haruka: the Latex or my housemates? *Nick frowns at Haruka and thaps them on the shoulder. He holds out a little cat harness he made before gesturing to Nya-Chan. Haruka suddenly smiles, a mischievous look in their eyes. they nod to Nick, who then proceeds to clip the harness and leash onto the cat. it's comfortable, but the Latex is now trapped not only by Haruka's arms, but by the cat leash too*

*the Mocat had a mischievous appearance on its face too, but made sure to play coy in front of Nick*

*But Haruka suddenly exclaims in protest when Nick takes the cat from their hands. he places it on the ground, holding the other end of the leash, and motions for it to follow him*
(Nick be like; Don't mind me, just takin my pet cat demon for a walk)

*the Mocat followed, this time moving easier on four legs*

*Haruka couldn't catch up with the tall boy before the two (creature and human) had left the building. Nick took Mocat outside, picked it up, and pointed to the sky, where a rainbow touched down not too far from where the dorm house was*

*Nya-Chan looked up to Haruka's face*

*Haruka smiled before drying off the kitten before drying off themself*
Haruka: there you go! all better!

*Nya-Chan shook a little, then started licking some water out of the fur on its paws, the way it held them up being odd too*

*Nick looked at the cat and raised an eyebrow before looking at Haruka and moving his hands in sign language. Haruka shrugged and replied in sign language. Nick bent down and picked up the cat. he narrowed his eyes in confusion at the odd puffball*

*it tilted it's head curiously*

*Nick mimicked it, making Haruka giggle. Nick turned the cat over, looking at it more like a stuffed animal than a living being*

*cat happiness levels go up since apparently it enjoys being mimicked*

*Nick seemed oblivious to the cat's emotions, turning it over and over in his large hands. his hands were rough, calloused from years of working with metal and fire*

*It mewled a bit*

*Haruka went over and took it from Nick, who seemed confused at the sudden intervention*
Haruka: it meowed. it doesn't like the rough handling *Nick frowned at Haruka, then the cat*

*the latex happily mewled. This happiness was too pure to be fake, though.*

Nick: *clumsily* you're staying with me, ok? *his voice is odd; the cadence is off, and some of the pronunciation is wonky, but it's clear enough to understand*

*the latex nodded*

Nick: hm? *he looks at the "cat" in confusion. cats don't understand human speech, do they?*

*it tilted it's head, this time playing coy once again*

*Nick shrugged, bringing it back to his room. it was messy, covered in metal parts and tools. bolts and gears covered his desk and steel plates littered the floor. Nick laid the cat on the bed, petting it lightly. the roughness of the boy's hands made sense now- working with metal and whatnot. Latex noticed Nick had lots of marks on his arms too, hidden under his sleeves*

*it mewled a bit, then started to gently lick one of the marks*

*Nick withdrew his hand, a surprised look on his face. he sighed. it was just the cat- well ofc it was the cat! there's no one else in there! he frowned at the cat and shook his head sternly, but he also resumed petting it*

*it was clearly very confused, but it resumed it's happiness"

Nick:*slowly* slow cat *he laughs a bit, continuing to play with the Mocat*

*the Mocat's eyes were lit up with joy as it rolled onto its back*

*Nick scratched its underbelly, smiling. He eventually stretched and stood up*
Nick: stay cat. I’ll be working here *he gestures to his mechanic covered desk*

*Rolling back onto its front, it obediently listened to Nick and stayed in it's place*

*Nick took out some tools and started working on, er, something. It was unclear what exactly the thing was supposed to be*

*The Mocat watched Nick in his work, suddenly an emotion rushing over it. Guilt and shame.*

*Nick picked up the delicate item and held it out for the Mocat to see. It was a little golden bell molded in the shape of a cat head. He shook it lightly, the merry sound of the little bell ringing throughout the room*
Nick: sound good? *the deaf teenager tilted his head, seeming oblivious to the shame and guilt his new kitten is feeling*

*The Mocat started to move towards the bell and pawed at it*

*Nick seemed satisfied. he assumed that the pawing meant the bell can ring and he let the cat play with it a bit longer. he pet the Mocat behind the ears gently*

(henlo again) *It purred, very pleased.*

Nick: *slowly* now, what to call you *he paused, thinking* 'cat'? easy to say. 'Mow'? wait, what sound do cats make? *Nick sighed before looking at the bell* . . . 'bell'?

*the kitten mewled a little bit*

*Haruka skidded to a stop in front of a school before parking their bike and running inside*
Haruka: whew! it's cold out there, huh?

Mro mro.

Haruka: *tilts their head in thought* mro? not Nya, or Meow? not even Mrow? *they examine the cat, holding it like in the long cat meme* odd kitty. guess I can't name you Nya-Chan

Mro mo! *After a bit of examination, it's noticed that the patterns are very unique and the tail is longer than usual*

Haruka: what are you, some kindof animagus from Harry Potter?

*Nya-Chan(I absolutely love the name) mewled*

(thanks, it's my friend's cat)
Haruka: eh, guess my cat's just gonna be super special! *they whistle a tune while they walk into what looks like a little house on campus. a cabin, maybe? they open the door* I'm home! can someone bring me a towel please?

Mro mo!

Haruka: shh, shh, shh! not yet! *the placed a hand over the cat's muzzle* is anyone there? *they bang on the wall* Hellooooooooo! *there are footsteps from down the hallway and a boy with darker skin and light violet eyes enters. Haruka smiled sheepishly* Hey Nicky *the boy rolled his eyes and leaves the room before tossing a towel to Haruka*

Mororo.

*Nick says something in sign language to Haruka, who nods and heads off towards their room. Haruka looks at the kitten*
Haruka: sorry about that kitty, Nick doesn't know his own strength sometimes *the blonde smiles* you'll get used to him, over time

Momot. *This was a new mewl, 'mot'. It had a slightly stern tone to it.*

Haruka: what? *they looked at the cat with a slightly intimidating stare* you’re not a cat, are you

*it tilted it's head*

Haruka: what are you *they placed it on their bed and locked the door* tell me now, or I’ll throw you off the roof

*it backed up slightly, then stood on its hind legs with ease*

Haruka: just say it, go***mnit! what the hell are you?!

Mo..k-k-ka-kat. Mo-cat.

Hauka: *Flatly* Mo-Cat? *They pick up the cat by the scruff of it's neck angrily* what the F**K is a Mo-Cat!?!
