[IC] Neko no Koi/A Cat's Love

[Cyndyr]

Weston waited until after the girl to close her stall before creeping up again. "Ah, I knew it!" He said in a loud, accusatory tone, "You have some sort of . . magic soil or something!" He pointed at her, calling out dumbly before lowering his arm with a sneaky smile.

"You were too crowded before I was able to thank you, so . . thanks for the apple."

[DixeyRay]

" What do you mean magic soil? Most to all the stuff I sell here is fruit" she looked at him shaking her head " My fruit production has grown since I moved here but that's just the weather isn't it " she asked the boy. It wasn't magic soil just that the plants love her she knew that but playing dumb seemed to be the thing to do.

[Cyndyr]

He shrugged, "I dunno. I don't know anything about gardening. I wasn't really beginning serious. . ", he examined her facial expression. Had she really taken him seriously? "Waaaait. . . oh, are you a human with an active heart and your ability has something to do with fruit?"

[DixeyRay]

" I'm human I know that, the heart thing is weird and it has least on the coll as r that the weird guy made for me after I was shoved in his shop. So I guess." She shrugged and leaned back again in her chair." Why does it matter with you anyways, don't you have like ability or something?"

[Cyndyr]

The neko stopped for a moment, wait, did he actually have a power like that? He shook his head to her question, "No, only nekomatas are capable of using magic and otherwordly powers. I'm just really agile. Oh! And I can see in the dark, too."

He flicked his tail, watching her in curiosity, "Oh, that's right. Apparently, when a heart connects with a collar, a neko is able to use the same magic as his or her partner . . or something like that," he shrugged, "Dunno, never really had my parents tutorial me, sorry."

You never had parents, Weston.

[DixeyRay]

" oh my only parent is long gone probably with a new husband she can't stay with one for long." She shook her head and looked at a small clock on the stand. " oh my the weeds will be back if I don't start pulling now, nice to meet you again sorry about cutting this chat short. " Taking a basket she filled it with the remaining fruit, a few Apple's and a pear, and started off onto a path through the trees.

A bell was rung all over the Police Station. It was time to shift. Koshi stood up and picked up his things. As he walked out he saw the sign out sheet and he signed it. He waved goodbye to his boss and walked out. He decided to Catch up on some reading, so he walked over to the library. As he walked in he saw the shlefs full of books. He grabbed a book and sat down. He began to read a bit.

[Uruvion]

As Uruvion approached the town, he felt strange, like a warm feeling inside his chest. As he entered the town, he felt the warmth increasing. A small blue light illuminated in front of him and he stopped. As the light dimmed, a small jewel was in it's place, floating in front of his chest. After examining it for a moment, he reached out ans grabbed it with no resistance. His first thought was selling it, though something told him that wasn't the right thing to do. If he hadn't taken the gold that was on the bandit that tried to kill him, he might have considered it more. He was content to put it in his pocket for now, unaware of it's true value, potential, and fragility.

After a night of little sleep, and little food he was tired and hungry, but his stomach ached more than he felt the urge for sleep. He approached some of the food stands that were in town, examining what they had to offer.

[Cyndyr]

Weston watched the girl off and begun to talk to himself, "Being able to make infinite fruit, huh? That must be cool," he turned around and looked at the remaining stalls, still open and bustling. He briefly stopped to wonder to himself: Was his mother or father a human? Were they able to do something like that girl could?

No point of wasting time thinking about it, he supposed. He slapped his palms against Velion's counter and began walking around the stalls once again.

Taylor could not find anywhere to search for jobs. It was already fairly late into the day and she could feel the sun beating down on her. To take refuge and perhaps to search for information, she returned to her original schedule and headed into the library. Walking around inside, it was a lot more active than she would've thought: meaning, there were more people than she would have originally thought.

She closed the door behind her softly and walked by the counter, standing for a moment, looking lost. The librarian stopped and glared at her, in which she gave a nervous smile. God, she hated socializing. She began walking across the carpet and stopped near a map directory. She grabbed one of the town, looking over her shoulder, before dropping the back onto a nearby table and searching for the police station or maybe some ice cream. Damn, it was hot.

Naneko and Kuroi Sora go to work

Naneko says farewell to the gloomy new mail carrier then returns to her work.
"The Sleeping Kitten" requires all of her attention to get ready for her days custom for she is it's only employee.

She washes all the bluish white sake cups and cold rinses the bamboo tankards for beer before setting them out in neat rows beside the serving table. Afterward she samples the days supply of sake to assure it's quality before she serves it to any of her customers. This is her morning ritual six days a week and will be most likely till she hires some help or turns into the man eating monster she seems doomed to become.

Kuroi Sora her companion does her part to help by keeping up a running conversation about what she and the other felines of the village have observed in the past few days. The small ebony female is a serial gossip loving to tell all that she sees and hears to friend in the hopes of distracting her from her worries.

Library
Finding the bookstore closed- perhaps the owner was still getting breakfast?- Hyperion chose instead to walk over to the library. His dark hair fluttered at the cool air when he opened the door, greeting the librarian with a warm smile, his ears twitching eagerly. Walking through the large shelves, he perused the available books before settling on one with a pretty cover. It was about fairytales, and Ion had always been interested in them. As he walked to find an available table, he found himself accidentally brushing his tail against someone as he walked past. "Ah," he apologized, looking behind him, "My bad, sorry."

Playground
Patting the last of the sand on top of the buried bird, Argo folded his legs underneath him, clapping his hands in front of his face, ready to pray. "Ah," he paused, looking up from his poorly done funeral, "I need a stone." Getting up and dusting himself off, the human made his way around the small park, humming a sweet tune as he gathered up small rocks, trying to find one suitable to be a gravestone.

[Cyndyr]

Taylor was leaned over, leading her hands across the map with faked interest. Yeah, this map wasn't helping at all. The key was crude and looked like it was created by a Kindergartener. She sighed, feeling a tail brush her legs from behind. She turned around to see the neko who was responsible and was greeted with an apology.

Cat people. . they're so cute.

Taylor leaned against the table with one hand, looking at the map, faking focus, "It's alright. Hey, would you happen to know where a bounty hunter might go to get a job around here?" She tried to act coolly, but, damn. That was an incredibly stupid question to ask.

[LetterA]

Library
"Uhm," paused Hyperion, turning his body so he faced the girl, putting a hand on his chin as he pondered. "Well... no? I mean... I know a few places where a bounty hunter might like... to... eat..." His ears folded inwards as his cheeks flushed, embarrassed at the reply that left his mouth. "Ah, I mean... perhaps the police need one?" He coughed, trying to regain what little composure he had, his eyes wandering from the girl to the paper she had been observing- the town map. And from the looks of it, the map didn't seem to be doing much helping.

Looking down at the book in his hand and then back up at the girl, he offered a small smile and offered, "I could help show you the way, if you need?"

[DixeyRay]

Stopping half way to her house she sat on a fallen log around the path a few of the Cat people walked the trail with humans, holding hands, it was the path most couples went to walk it was nature at its best. She started to snack on a Apple then threw it under the log. Laying on the soft grass she started to fall asleep the basket sitting next to her.

"Alex, it's time for lunch." Hearing Nero calling him, the younger boy rushed over to the table where the food was already set out. Nero flipped the sign on the shop door to 'closed' before joining him for the meal. "Thanks for waiting. Once you're done eating, we can go out, okay?"
Alex nodded excitedly; he was really getting bored with staying inside, and he wanted to run around. After quickly finishing his food, he tried to pull Nero out of his chair, despite the fact that his older brother wasn't quite finished.
"I'm done. Let's go now!"

A few minutes later, after Nero had convinced Alex that he would need to clean up his face and get some shoes before going out, the two were walking toward the square, on their way to the little park where a lot of the small children would play. It was such a nice day out, too. Perfect to be out playing or just enjoying the weather.

[Cyndyr]

Taylor watched the neko flush, his ears folding back.

How adorable . . .

She stood up against the table and crossed her arms in a cool-like motion, "Yeah, sure, that sounds great. These maps aren't very helpful anyway." She wanted to apologize for the odd question, but wasn't quite sure how to do that without being TOO awkward. "Taylor," she said, putting a thumb to herself, [b]"You?"

[LetterA]

Library
"Ah, mm, okay," Hyperion smiled and threw a thumb by the door, resting the book onto a nearby table, implying for her to follow when she suddenly introduced herself. "Oh!" he shouted, his ears pointing up in alarm before repeating it in a lower voice- they were in a library after all. "I'm sorry- I never- You can call me Ion- I mean, I'm Hyperion-" he reached out a hand to shake and offered warm smile, his black tail wiggling shyly from side to side- "Pleased to be of acquaintance."

Park
It seemed to be at this moment that more children were starting to come to the park, and with them, parents-slash-guardians. Now, Argo wasn't one for scaring kids away- especially not when he could get in trouble for it- so he took whatever rocks he had and sprinkled them over the makeshift grave, putting a finger over his lips when a kid in the sandbox looked at him curiously. The dark haired human then lightly petted at the neko child's blonde ears before getting up and looking for smaller animals to play with, instead distracting himself with the sight of monkey bars.

Koshi saw Hyperion and Taylor talking and decided to make some interactions with other people. He walked towards the with his book about Mythology at hand. Koshi had a theory that the hearts were older than one could think, he thought that they dated back into ancient times. He stopped in front of Hyperion and Taylor. His ears were perched and his tail is wagging until it calmed down.

-"Hello there, My name is Koshi Tsuke, how about you two?"

[Cyndyr]

"Yeah, you too," Taylor responded to Ion's comment as she started to walk towards him. This was quite awkward, it was rare in her line of work that she had to associate herself with non-Bounty Hunters -- "civilians". Just as she was about to walk to him, another neko appeared. This one with hair that was white as snow. She stopped for a moment, staring at the neko.

What could this one want? Are all the people here THIS social?

"Taylor," she said calmly, looking at the book that the other neko, the one who had introduced himself as "Koshi", was holding. She glared at it -- the cover didn't seem familiar, however. Might as well ask. . that's casual, right? "What are you reading?"

[Amano__Yukiteru]

-"Oh, this little thing. It's a book about Mythology and ancient times."

Koshi looked at Taylor, whom seemed annoyed. He let out a small sigh. He showed the cover to Taylor.

-"So, what do you do here?"
