a little after their conversation

[crowned_clown]

Hello, Mr. Cat King!

The Admiral agreed that you should be able to transform from a cat to a human shape.

Re: a little after their conversation

[countthecats]

...he did, did he?

What's the catch?

[He doesn't trust this.]

Re: a little after their conversation

[crowned_clown]

I don't believe there is any.

He agreed that it's unfair that you're stuck in a form the Barge isn't set up for.

Re: a little after their conversation

[countthecats]

He thinks it's unfair?! That little-

[But there's purple flames that fill the camera, and standing there is a man, looking annoyed, with tousled blond curls and large, golden cat's eyes.]

Hmmm. At least he's not a liar. Color me shocked.

Re: a little after their conversation

[crowned_clown]

He didn't exactly say it was unfair.

[But Allen had, and the Admiral had gone along with the request so it seems reasonable that he agrees.]

Re: a little after their conversation

[countthecats]

Hmm.

Well. You haven't been totally useless. I will remember that. [It's not exactly a thank you, but Allen will be holding out a long time if he expects one of those.]

Re: a little after their conversation

[crowned_clown]

[Allen doesn't expect a 'thank you' from anyone. His life rarely involves thanks for working to save the world, let alone something like this.]

I hope it will make stuff easier for you.

Re: a little after their conversation

[countthecats]

Yes, yes.

I have things to do now. [And he's gone. He has most of a month's worth of frustration to work out, thank you very much.]

[hippie_ninja]

I need to talk to you about something.

[countthecats]

You do, do you? Who are you and why should I care?

[hippie_ninja]

I'm Jesus Rovia, I'm a Custodial supervisor, and I want you off my team. You're taking up valuable space.

[countthecats]

Well, that suits me just fine. Then do it.

[hippie_ninja]

It's not that simple. You have to go somewhere.

So what are you good at?

[countthecats]

I see. Well, that's too bad for you. I'm not working for my abductor.

[hippie_ninja]

I'm not asking you to work for the Admiral, I'm asking you to get out of my way.

There are other places that won't care if you do nothing.

[countthecats]

Oh? And when I get there I suppose you can guarantee I won't have someone wasting my time trying to get me to cooperate like a good little captive?

[hippie_ninja]

If you go to B, I think he'll leave you alone. He takes care of the animals on his own already, I think he'd be annoyed if you came in trying to change anything.

[countthecats]

Think or know? Because I don't care which one of you is pestering me, and I'm disinclined to make the effort to change anything for a maybe.

[hippie_ninja]

If you don't care if he pesters you, then it doesn't matter if you're on his roster. Should be an easy change.

[countthecats]

Seems to me like you're asking me to do extra work for quite possibly nothing to change. You're going to have to offer me a better deal than that.

[hippie_ninja]

How about I tell B you're on his roster, and you can keep doing nothing?

[countthecats]

[A pause.]

So I don't need to do anything?

[hippie_ninja]

I think you need to officially tell the admiral you're not in custodial anymore. But I can pay you for that effort?

[countthecats]

Pay? In what? [You have his attention.]

[hippie_ninja]

We don't have much in the way of currency so... Food?
