Perhaps you should put a little map in the device to help you find me. It's not that hard to find the street I live in now, is it?

From:

murrvelous

a map!!!

a map... map map. map map map

🗺

okay! OH! YOU'RE NOT THAT FAR AT ALL!
that's a relief, 'cause i put a hole in my wall already.

From:

breweries

[ ... ]

Which wall, Murr.

[ how the fuck ]

From:

murrvelous

well...

there was a lot of banging coming from the place next to mine!
so i thought i'd bang right back, and then i must've hit it a little too hard.

[ ... ]

they were having an argument!

From:

breweries

[ somehow he does not believe that, but ]

It must be a rather heated argument for you to retaliate like that. You poor thing.

The walls here are thin and decrepit as well. Does it not remind you of Chloe's hometown? It's... something that I have yet to get used to.

From:

murrvelous

i was just trying to match their noises!
and then after, when i was peeking through the hole...

i noticed she was holding a whip! and a paddle!!!

From:

breweries

A whip and a paddle! For what, I wonder. And what did the other party look like?

From:

murrvelous

completely naked! and red!
they asked if i wanted to join in and i politely declined.

hey shylock
if i was holding a paddle
would you be afraid

From:

breweries

Wouldn't you like to find out?

[ as the western saying goes, "come fuck around and find out". ]

From:

murrvelous

i would!
i would like to find out!

maybe i can borrow hers once she's done with it
it has writing on it that doesn't make sense
but i'll bring it over with me...!

i don't think i can stay here anymore though
the hole got bigger

From:

breweries

Oh, that's too bad. I would've liked to see it for myself. But maybe we should get one sometime...?

Have you figured out where I am by now?

From:

murrvelous

yeah!
i like how i'm a purple dot on this map
i'm getting closer to where i think you are...?

do you have a window
or do i need to use a door
or can i make a hole, i think i'm a natural at holes!

From:

breweries

The window would be more convenient, thank you.

The least you can do is bring along a little housewarming gift with you, but since it's too late to go back for a paddle, might I suggest something nice to eat while you're here?

From:

murrvelous

i saw something we can eat together!
it's not far from where you are!!

i'll see if i can get one and then i'll bring it to you!!!

[ well. he does climb up there, though there's certainly some yelling coming from below the window.

with a big smile (and a box) in tow, he raps his knuckles against the window. ]

Heya! Anyone hoooooo~me?

From:

breweries

[ no one is home. shylock duped him the entire time. thread over.

but that'd be sad, so here's shylock sliding the windows open. ]

I do hope you didn't hop from one rooftop to another on the way here, Murr.

[ he can certainly hearing the yelling... ]

From:

murrvelous

Of course not!

[ box first, then the cat. he's not going to risk accidentally dropping or breaking the precious cargo in his hands! ]

But I did sort of kick some pots over... it's not my fault they were in the way.

[ pout, pout.

as he crawls in, he stays on the floor and on his back, holding the box up toward shylock with a smile. ]

Look what I found!

[ inside is... myaa. ]

From:

breweries

[ just going to get the box from murr and place it on the low table. ahh, how cute... he's actually surprised that murr actually bought them something? uwah, he's learning way too fast in hell. here are a couple headpats for the good boy. ]

Looks like an impromptu tea party is in order. Make yourself at home, Murr -- though you don't need me to tell you that twice.

[ it doesn't take him too long to retrieve two cups and a teapot full of roasted tea, as he was already anticipating murr to arrive. here, sit with him on the floor and watch him pour some drinks for themselves. ]

There are new sorts of tea flavors found in this realm, do you know? This one we're trying out today is called hojicha.

From:

murrvelous

[ who knows if he just saw a cat and thought "i'm adopting it and taking it with me" instead of "wow this is shaped like a friend also we're going to eat it"???

call him one (1) lucky murr. ]

A tea party! [ a moment as he watches, eyes unblinking as the tea is poured right before his very eyes. ]

Hojicha...? That sounds spicy! Is it spicy, Shylock?

[ he's already reaching for one of the cups. even if it's not filled yet, just to touch. touch touch. ]

From:

breweries

[ king he can't take in an actual cat when he already has a man-sized one to take care of, ]

I'm not sure. Shall we find out for ourselves?

[ he picks up his cup and takes it up to his nose first, sniffing it once before bringing it to his lips for a sip.

...nope, no spice. alas. ]

It's quite nutty. I like it.

From:

murrvelous

[ the cat can be their child :pleading_face:

and then murr mirrors shylock, taking his drink and then carefully taking a sip. he blinks a few times, stares into the liquid, then nods his approval. ]

Oh! It's got a little bit of sweetness! I kinda like it!

[ continues to sip, probably a little too quickly--- a slightly sizzling tongue is his punishment. ]

Say... you think you'll start up a bar here? A cat bar?

From:

breweries

[ pien....... ]

That is what I am aiming to save up for, actually. I much prefer working at my own pace rather than for someone else, don't you think so?

[ he takes a knife and starts cutting the cake: first for murr, then himself. ]

Not a cat bar, however. There are plenty of cat cafes around.

From:

murrvelous

[ oh my god. shylock just murdered their future child? with a knife?? right in front of him???

MY GOD THEIR CHILD IS CAKE

well, no matter. it certainly looks tasty on the inside... white cake, a layer of frosting. even a little bit of jam! ]

Mmm. Well, I guess it'd have'ta be a human bar. Or youkai bar. No wizards other than us, right?

[ he pulls a fork out... from somewhere... and proceeds to stab at the dessert. ]

But yeah! You should do what you want. I like it when you're happy.

From:

breweries

[ they're too fucked up to be parents.......... except for that one time they'd looked after mitile at figaro's behest BUT ]

Do you, now.

[ that's nice of you, murr. weirdly. it almost feels like there's something else attached to that, but one can't blame shylock for being a touch wary. ]

There might be other wizards in this world that function differently from us. I mustn't exclude them. As to whether I include humans this time around is up in the air for now.... [ since not every human is prejudiced towards their kind and all. ] Have you met some as of late, Murr?

From:

murrvelous

[ yes. be on alert, shylock. c: ]

Ooh? Yeah, I have! There's a few that carry neat swords, and then there's this young human who reminds me of a cat!

[ the nice boy who gave him some money, and then he ended up spending it on the bakeneko. all going to a good place in the end. ]

They're kinda in the same boat as we are. So I guess as long as they're not doing anything bad, then...

[ he leaves his cake so that he can sweep around and behind shylock, draping his arms over his shoulders. ]

... we don't have to either. Riiiiight?

[ not like that's going to stop murr. ]

From:

breweries

[ yabai.......

it'd be real funny if they were talking about the same human catboy though. there's only one person that fits the bill in shylock's mind right now.

the physical contact is something that he never knew he needed though, and shylock leans into murr's touch with a sigh. ]

We're wizards. We're bound to do bad things. [ fufu. ] Though you have been behaving for a while now, so how should I reward you?

[ murr will always going to be a menace but at least today he's just chillin. they're just chillin, and they can pretend that their circumstances in hell are all right in this moment. ]
