Given that some of the changes that have been taking place are less obvious than others, a couple of us were discussing ways of testing the limits of our reflexes - preferably without needing anyone else in close proximity.

[Remember that time Hajime got jumpy and nearly took Toshi's arm off on the werewolf hunt? Yeah. Good times.]

I'm still checking customer reviews and pricing, but we're looking at skeet shooters. If anyone else suspects their agility may have been boosted into superhuman range and wants to test it, let me know. (If you want to chip in to whatever a workable shooter is going to cost us, even better.)

Overall, however: I suspect most of us have had the sense to at least begin considering the limits of what we're capable of. [Or at least, he really wants to think everyone does.] But I believe it's something that we need to think seriously about. Our casualty count has been remarkably low so far, compared to how things could have gone, but luck is not something we should rely on in the future.

I'm still willing to chip in on the purchase price of that thing. Something safe to test or train things with is worth it.

[iaijutsu]

I'd appreciate it. My wallet's taken a lot of hits lately.

[chalicejoker]

You haven't destroyed anything with the new powers, have you?

[Because if so, this Hajime knows that feel.]

[iaijutsu]

Thankfully, no.

Souji just decided to bring cats home.

[chalicejoker]

How many cats?

[Because he can't see one tiny little kitty causing that much damage...which is a clear sign that he has never owned a cat.]

[iaijutsu]

Five.

[ orz ]

[chalicejoker]

Why?

[How do you even get that many cats? That is a Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit and then some.]

There wasn’t anywhere better to keep the cats?

[iaijutsu]

There probably is, if we went looking for homes for them, but they made themselves at home quickly and I...would feel a little heartless getting rid of any of them now.

[chalicejoker]

That's a lot of mouths to feed all of a sudden.

[He has never had a pet and doesn't understand this attachment in the least, but okay.]

[iaijutsu]

It is. I think once they're past their early check-ups and vaccinations, I can adapt to paying for the rest without too much trouble, at least.

[chalicejoker]

They're all very small, then?

[iaijutsu]

Yes. I think they were just old enough to leave their mother when we got them.

[chalicejoker]

Sounds like they’re some lucky little cats, then.

[iaijutsu]

I think they'd have found other homes, if not for us.

...perhaps not together, though.

[chalicejoker]

They seem happier together, then?

[iaijutsu]

They do.
