Room 324, Tuesday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Kate was having a random day of wanting to do useful stuff for once.

... Well, useful by her standards, since she'd started out by painting her nails with dark blue polish. And then she'd had to spend a good long while waiting for it to dry while reading some trashy gossip site online. That was kind of like keeping up with current events, right? Totally useful.

But by now, she'd actually progressed to sorting her laundry while some music played in the background. The mix cd he'd made for Bod way back for his birthday last fall, in fact.

Maybe it was a day to be productive and a bit mushy. And humming along.

[ooc: Door/post is open for any and all visitors, but Bod's thread is chronologically last!]

"'At peace with the world'," Kate repeated, amused. "How... grand."

[therewaslife]

"I know it sounds trite but it seems to fit," Bod said sheepishly. "Sorry."

[vanillajello]

"Don't apologize," Kate murmured, and kissed him again. "It doesn't sound trite. I was just surprised you think that fits."

[therewaslife]

"It fits more today than it has recently," Bod clarified, mumbling the words against her lips. "You just seem at peace. You seem lighter."

[vanillajello]

"Mm, I feel lighter too," she admitted. "A bit."

And she was going to be feeling much, much lighter physically soon enough. But not quite yet.

[therewaslife]

"Good," he said and kissed her again, lightly but lingering. "Did you want me to help you sort your laundry?"

[vanillajello]

"I don't know," she said, smiling again as she pulled away from him. "Can you separate the whites from the color stuff?"

Not that she had a whole lot of white clothes.

[therewaslife]

"I think even I can manage that," Bod said, nodding. "So yes, I can separate the whites from the colors like a professional."

[vanillajello]

"Like a pro," Kate snickered, as she turned towards the bed where her piles of clothes were.

And then suddenly, she could no longer see the clothes. In fact, she was having to look up at the bed. Because she was small, and fluffy, and in possession of four paws and a tail.

//...Fandom, you suck.//

[therewaslife]

Bod's eyes widened and he couldn't help the surprised laugh that slipped out. "Oh dear. You're a cat again, Kate."

[vanillajello]

Kate turned around and hopped her way back to him, then meowed pitifully up at him.

//It's not funny, Bod.//

[therewaslife]

"Oh, don't do that," Bod said, reaching down to scoop her up and smile. "It's not so bad. You've done this before. It'll be all right."

[vanillajello]

She pawed at his chest (without the claws, thankfully) once he'd picked her up.

//But this is the first week in like two months that I was actually kinda looking forward to going to work tomorrow!//

And she was a chatty cat.

[therewaslife]

"It's all right," he said and stroked her head and ears. "You know this will wear off eventually and you'll be fine. You're fine. I'll be sure to watch out for you too."

[vanillajello]

//But I can't do shit on my own!// Whine, whine, whine. //Ugh, I'll just sleep for like a week, I guess.//

And occasionally chase her own tail. Sometimes she confused herself for a dog.

[therewaslife]

"You'll be fine," he soothed, kissing the top of her head. "Come on, let me take you up to my room and you can get settled on my bed. I know you like it there."

[vanillajello]

Sigh. //Guess so,// she meowed, settling in his arms. //Take me up to your comfy bed, human.//

[therewaslife]

Bod would have laughed if he could spoke cat but since he didn't, he just carried her out of her room so they could go up to his and she could take over.

She was good at that as both a cat and a human.
