[ Obviously there's a struggle to hold the camera still. Two potentially familiar voices are in a scramble. Not that they just ran away from the hospital without formally checking Cat out of it. No one is really prepared to get a screen full of angry hamster face, but here it is regardless, overlaid with voices of sheer panic: ]



Holly! Holly! You don't understand! HE'S GOING TO MURDER ME! Look at his face! ... Can pudgy little cheeks look pissed off like that? Because he does and that's just freaky! You can even tell it's him.

[ Cat rushes into the camera view, blocking out the sight of the very annoyed rodent. He's clearly trying to balance this camera phone in his left hand and it's not the smoothest ride, but for now he'll cart it around with him as Holly and Cat attempt to contain the troublemaker.]

Okay, network. I.. could use some pretty urgent advice here. I just turned Skyler Veracruz into a— that's a hamster right? [ Cat turns away from the camera a moment to get Holly's mumbled confirmation, before turning back. ]

—Yeah, a hamster. Anyone familiar with magic... or .. hamsters. Just send a video or text or I'll meet you somewhere with him —Holly, where'd he go?

[ Another several moments of chaos pass as the camera jostles around before Cat's face pops back into view, Holly's head popping up behind his shoulder, trying to contain hamster Skyler from scrambling. The hamster looks positively dejected now. The look of disapproval is quite strong here, folks. ]

I'm hoping he'll calm down soon... Holly's already tried to change him back, if anyone has any clue how to take care of a .. human hamster... [ Okay, even Cat is starting to chuckle and laugh. After all Skyler has been a constant bully in the hallways for several years. If he'd known who was tagging along with Holly he might have declined the visit. Let's just pass the camera over to Holly for now. ]

Oh um- Skyler stop wiggling so much I don't want to drop you what if they have a cat here?- Yes um- Help would be great! Why does this always happen to me?

[ Cat cuts back in a moment later: "Here, hand him back to me." He'll have to hold the hamster between his cast and good hand meanwhile. Holly takes over the video again while Cat pokes at Skyler's chubby cheeks in the background. ]

Please help!

[ Just before the video cuts off you can hear Cat chuckling, "I think he looks better this way!" ]

Oh, you know. He's one of those guys who thinks he is somebody.

[ Cat hums, though only those present can hear it as he taps his chin thoughtfully. He hadn't really considered it before, but yeah, he supposes that Skyler seems pretty egotistical. ]

well he's a hamster right now.
that's not exactly someone. more like a
pudgy pet.

[ Looks like there's a video waiting, as if to illustrate the point. Seems to be getting late, there's an older woman's voice and a male teenager's voice, the same one from the original video: "He's not exactly a threat right now. .. Aw-damnnit. I dropped him.. He's slippery."]

Oh- fffhahaha- oh my god this is perfect.

I should take more videos.
Blackmail forever.
I doubt he'll have a big ego after this.
He'll finally realize he's just a big nobody like everyone else.

[twelfthspark]

[The laughter abruptly stops, and there's another, longer pause. She sounds distracted when she speaks again.]

Between this and whatever the deal was with the dicks? Yeah.

[ That was a pretty long pause and Cat has the keen sense that something has changed. He's just observant like that. Promptly derailed from his current thought process: ]

Are you okay?

[twelfthspark]

Mm-hmm. Just remembered something. So how'd he end up a hamster, anyway?

[enchants]

I guess I'm a wizard without a wand. I was in the hospital and he came with Holly to visit.

I greet him, and next thing I know... hamster!

[twelfthspark]

Nice. Now you just need to learn to do it on purpose.

[People piss you off, you can turn them into small animals- sounds like a pretty good deal to her.]

[enchants]

And how to undo it.
