Room 324, Thursday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Kate loved Halloween, and October in general. It was her favourite time of the year. Usually, at least: this time the month had been a little rough. But she was sure nothing could ruin Halloween for her.

She was wrong.

She'd handwavily acquired some Halloween decorations and was hanging them up on her side of the room, when she suddenly started to feel weird. And wrong. She had just enough time to recognize the feeling.

"Oh fu––mwror!"

It was going to be a bitch, decorating your room when you were suddenly a lot smaller and had paws instead of hands.

Kate the cat was not pleased.


[ooc: Mostly establishy, but if you’d like to interact with a rare case of "Kate can’t snark at you", go ahead. I’m around! Availability notice for the weekend coming up.]

//They're weird and wiggly and taste funny,// Kate meowed at Leto anyway. She took a few more steps towards him, and pushed at his leg with her forehead. //Why did this have to happen now?//

Kate was a slightly sad cat.

He reached down to pick her up. "You'd rather not be a cat? At least you can move. I've been turned into a tree twice."

[vanillajello]

She let herself be picked up. And whined. //But it's gonna be Halloween! I had a costume and everything. What if I don't turn back in time?//

It was frustrating to only be able to convey vague tones without words, but she'd make do with what she had.

Of course, he didn't understand what she was saying. "Why are you upset? I'll make sure you'll have food. You can even sleep in my bed if you don't snore."

[vanillajello]

She really should have explained the importance of Halloween to him when she still had the chance. It was kind of pointless now, so she merely made a cat noise that sounded kind of like a snort. Please, as if she snored.

He looked at her. "I can get you a pudding if you're nice."

[vanillajello]

She perked up a little, and looked at him in a manner that suggested something along the lines of 'yes human, keep talking, I am intrigued'.

[future_sandworm]

He chuckled, then pushed her up on his shoulder while turning to head out into the common room kitchen.

[vanillajello]

So maybe Kate would deal with this. At least there would be pudding. It wasn't all bad.

She purred. Quietly. Just a little.
