First Note

[The feed begins on video, but for some reason… Nothing is there. Is something wrong with the network…?

After a second, a cat hesitantly approaches the “camera”, sniffing at it and lifting a paw in the air, tentatively batting at it. It’s only when the paw actually hits the “camera” that she bolts away again, this time taking even longer to come back. If your character is still watching at this point, they’ll get to see her staring curiously at the screen for a bit longer. Surely this cat can’t actually be…?]

What is this thing? And why are there so many people inside?

[…All said in the voice of a young teenage girl. Having apparently forgotten her fear entirely, she leans down to press her nose against the “camera”, clearly trying to investigate all the secrets it holds.]

What? What do you mean pe--

[There is a woman's voice off camera, somewhat familiar despite also being quite new. A face comes into focus, and at first she appears to be smiling, focusing down on the cat. Until she realizes what's going on however.

No, she couldn't have figured out how to use her tablet. She couldn't have somehow turned on the network. The dawning realization is quite apparent on the young woman's face as she quickly looks at her cat.

This definitely wasn't how she intended to have this happen.]

Mimi, what did you do?

I pushed it some times! And then there were people inside!

[Mimi places a paw on it as she beams at Elly, clearly quite proud of herself. Look! She did a thing!]

[There's a very audible groan as she picks the cat up, pokes the screen a few times, and sighs.]

So. Hi.

This was not how I intended to ask this. Okay.

Um. My cat just started talking yesterday, and I don't know why. Um, I guess she's one of us now? Maybe?

[Yeah, this sounded just as stupid out loud as it did in her head. She winces a bit. Mimi why now?]
