Who: Alexander, Arthur, Cinderella, and Gomez
What: Cruising through the city and chasing kitty cats onto Cinderella's pasture!
Where: Locke City --> Cinderella's pasture
When: May 27th, afternoon (will adjust if necessary)
[ it's sheer luck, really, that alex isn't scheduled for tonight's shift. that grants him leeway to cruise around town, making good on his word to gomez that he'd take him out now and then. he trusts the kitten to obediently remain perched on his shoulders -- or, at the very least, stay close.
today, like many other days, gomez is sporting a necktie collar in honor of his namesake. passerbys are constantly stopping alex to coo at gomez, making the former think that maybe this would be an effective way to pick up chicks -- if they spared him even a quarter of the attention they lavished on gomez. it's an entertaining, but fruitless thought. he's content with his current arrangement.
unbeknownst to him, they're in the vicinity of a certain talking pony's home. ]

Why, HELLO there, my friend!
no subject
Heeey, man, how's it going? [ he'll take his hand and perform the one-armed man hug if arthur will let him. he's a very physical sort, platonic and otherwise. ] Skippy, yeah?
[ no, alex.
he jerks his chin towards gomez. ] This is Gogo.
[ he's slightly concerned about being recognized in public, but only slightly. nothing happened to him after the statue tear down in the dead district or the art exhibit. ]
no subject
[A white cat sits by a nearby gate, a shorthair Persian, white-coated and green eyed, moodily grooming, so she had been as other humans had walked by, breaking to take a few hops after the occasional bird, so she had been until a shout had turned her head up.
Up to the two men talking cheerfully - one of whom, she notices with a slight and slow cock of her head, has a kitten sitting on his shoulders.
She continues licking at her stomach, with an awkwardly-bent neck and small strokes as her eyes go narrow, peering, scrutinizing nothing namely. Just the oddness itself...]
no subject
That is, until he spots the smoosh-faced cat down there on the ground. He butts his head up against Alex's ear in warning, then hops down to go say hello.
He sticks to cat-speech instead of the Speech that everyone can understand. For now.]
Hunt's luck.
no subject
Gogo! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt bath time?
no subject
Arthur! My name's Arthur! Slippy's the fish!
[But he's laughing as he says it.]
And it's very nice to meet you in person--and little Gogo there!
[He'll burst out laughing again at Gogo's reaction to that other cat, as well as Alex's admonishment.]
Ah, I suppose it's a good thing I didn't bring my little friend along with so many cats out today!
no subject
Indeedy.
[There's little else it seems especially appropriate to say. In truth it is an interesting change of pace exchanging greeting with another cat, as since that night, the only other creatures she's seen have been the birds, the occasional mouse, naturally the horse - she's avoided the human children...
Speaking of the horse, she hears a noise. Not immediately close, but even by now, familiar enough to catch - it is horselike, and it is startled.
Her voice rolls out in a "Hrr-rrm." Her head turns deliberately.
And yet again she finds herself hopping off opposite the young black-and-white, along the fences to where the white slats around that pasture that feels like home start.
Not with a critical pace. She could imagine a horse screaming. But urgently enough to go.]
no subject
Hmph.]
Hey, wait up!
[He bounds off after the white cat, his own patches of white and tabby standing out almost as much.]
((I gotta make me some AU icons... XD he's actually gray/brown tabby where the black patches are, in this life!))
no subject
Oh, man, you got spirit, huh? Arthur Curry! That's a great last name, lemme just say. I'd say it's a pretty good thing you didn't bring Skippy -- no, Slippy! Cats from below, birds from above, why, it's a tough life for a f--
[ and that's when he notices gomez following the white cat. ] Hey, man, wait for us!
[ he glances at arthur with a shrug before following. ] Cats.
[ it's a pretty good explanation. ]
no subject
[Arthur releases Alex from the hug, and seems startled as Gogo takes off.]
Well, what are we waiting for, man, let's go!
[And he'll start running in the direction that cat went.]
HEEEEEEEEERE, KITTY, KITTY! SLOW DOWN THERE, KITTY, KITTY! HEY, KITTY, WAIT UP!
[...yes, he's yelling the whole time.]
no subject
She scales a white fence with mesh between its horizontal slats, bounds a ways over tame grass at a diagonal.
A white pony is pacing somewhere along another segment of fencing, peering through the mesh. The cat meows her approach, and the pony's ears perk and her head lifts.] Hm? Oh. There you are. [There's a pause - out of which a pleasantly surprised whinny rises as something dawns on her.] Why, were you worried about me~? Well, don't be! Thought I saw that frightful creature again. Heh~ ...Just a somewhat shaggy old black dog! So sweet of you to hear me call...
[Cinderella turns around to face the cat more properly and lowers her head, closer to her level. And then she spots something moving, and shifts her head to the side too peer around the little cat body.
The sight of another cat a bit behind causes her eyes to widen a tad.
On the shouting, she raises her head again, and tilts it down and cocked to the white cat.]
Just what have you done?
[It's not accusatory.]
no subject
New cat or no new cat, he turns around and bolts back to Alex, leaping at his chest and clawing the rest of the way back to his shoulder. His tail is nice and fluffy, there, too.]
no subject
It's you!
[ wait what that's a blur of fur coming right for him-- oh fuck cat claws, nature's toe-needles. ] Ow! Shit, fuck, fuck!
[ he is going to be sporting some angry red scratches in a few minutes. tentatively, he lifts his hand to pet gogo, placing just the slightest amount of pressure to let him know he's there. ]
Shhh, Gogo, it's okay. She's not gonna hurt you.
no subject
Oh, a horse! Don't worry, kitty, a sweet horse like this wouldn't hurt you!
[And now he's going to attempt to pet Cinderella.]
no subject
One of the sta -- humans' reactions had her doing a double-take right back, as she recognized this fellow, and that white cat, and hadn't she seen this other man as well? She briefly whinnies in surprise - when the clap makes her flinch, and a pat of a hand gets her to huff with mild indignation.]
You don't say. I wouldn't dream of laying a hoof on an acquaintance.
It's me, Cinderella! From the "Numbers Club."
no subject
You're that long-faced one! From the video!
[And hey, that's in... some language everyone here can understand. Even the fluffy white cat.]
no subject
Hey, Cindy, how's it going? [ he says this from the relative safety of a few feet away. the last thing he wants is for gomez to get startled again by some innocent (or not?) motion she does and tear open his shoulders.
he nods to the white persian. ] That your friend there?
no subject
[Weirded out by talking animals? Who's weirded out by talking animals? Arthur got over any of that long ago when the dolphins at the marine park started talking to him.]
And you can actually speak English!
no subject
Bringing her to his question. Her ears flick and she turns to the white cat.] I would hardly call it a friend. We don't know a thing about each other! [Matter-of-factly.]
no subject
Well, I don't go talking to everyone and anyone. I'd get in trouble! Or get locked up somewhere! My ehhif is a lot nicer than most would be, I bet.
[He hunkers down on Alex's shoulder possessively, but at least he isn't digging his claws in so much in the process, since now he's more stable in his parch.]
no subject
[ he glances at the white cat again, feeling a brief blip of sympathy for it. it must have some kind of fondness for cinderella, he thinks, if it not only ran to her but is staying near her.
he glances out across the pasture. ] So this is your crib, huh? Nice place. Maybe you can play around here, Gogo.
If you're all right with that, [ he adds, glancing at cinderella. ]
no subject
[He is just so onboard with all these talking animals. It's awesome.]
Ah, and I haven't introduced myself properly, have I? I'm Arthur! Arthur Curry!
no subject
[She gives her tail a lash, and restrains a nicker with her eyes on the cat, for Alex's benefit.]
Ohh, he can drop by any time he likes.
That is provided he could stand sharing pasture with me.
no subject
[Gomez sounds a bit sulky, and he hunches up over against Alex's neck to glare a little at her. It's not his fault he's a sheltered housekitten, all right? It's not like he can even read to do research.
Yet, anyway. Maybe someday.]
no subject
he lifts a hand, feeling for gomez's head, and scratches the back of his ears reassuringly. ]
Oh, I'm sure you two'll be friends in no time! [ wait. ] Three, [ he corrects, smiling brightly at the white cat. ]
It must get pretty lonely around here, yeah? Being by yourself. You two got something in common!
no subject
[THIS IS SO COOL.]
