Would you hire an elementary schooler, or is that illegal?

[ascatic]

Hiring is potentially illegal.

Volunteering is not.

Tell me about them.

[compendiem]

Oh. He was hoping for some spending money, but I can work that out on my end.
Shinji Matou. Not sure how old. His family comes to the shop often, and I talked to him there. Thought the cat cookies were cute. Bounced around some ideas of how to circumvent the lack of taste. A package deal with the food, like who McDs has toys with their kids meals. Or a punch card system where every 10 or so purchases earns a free item with the next purchase

Hi!...
Leon!...
It's Jamie.
Ummmm! So I saw that me and Minato and Apollo all got sent on missions... and apparently they might last a while. I'm so sorry about this! I hope it doesn't put too much of a burden on you, and that we all make it back soon.
Please let me know if there's any way I can make it up to you!

...Um... I guess that's all.
...This is Jamie by the way! Okay, bye.

[ascatic]

[ he will replay this message every so often until they all return safely because, no matter what happens... he'll be very worried.

way to make not-yet-a-cat dad worry

ESPECIALLY AFTER THE LAST TEXTS THEY EXCHANGED.

meow meow meow.

are you alive?

[ascatic]

Meow meow meow.

Yes. For the most part. And you? Are you alive or are we ghosts?

[maskreant]

i'm alive, but i'm sure that we're all aliens based on what Retrospec said.

i'm glad to be home even if it's for one day.

Hey, Leon? I brought this lil' bird brain over.

Hope you don't mind having extra company. [Nanashi picks up the demon by its wings and places it on the table.]

[ascatic]

A bird? [ he only hears some of it, as his voice is partially softened by being in the upper storeroom. ] Hold on, let me get a closer look.

[ and with a few lunchmeat and cheese sliders on a white plate, he comes out with half-smile and two black furred cat ears that were not there before. ]

Hm...

[ ear twitch. ]

[reaquila]

That's not part of a cosplay set, is it? I saw them move. [Pause.]

Old man....

[Is this some kind of realistic prop?]

When did you even get those?

[floret]

Hi Leon!
Are you interested in going on a date with a handsome artist?

[floret]

--Just to clarify, obviously, I'm not the handsome artist. A friend of a friend needs a wedding date / is interested in meeting new people.

[ascatic]

[ you can be whatever or whoever you want to be, Jamie... ]

Hm. An artist?

Well. I might be interested, though I sometimes worry about that cat I once saw in my memories. Part of me would feel guilty about not being available for him, if... for some reason he felt connected to me in some way.

But that is not the life I lead now, and I cannot rely on him.

Still. I do not know. He sounds like he might be a high profile, famous kind of person.

[livingimpaired]

Hello, Leon.
How are you?
A simple message, isn't it?
But still I feel warranted.
The month has been quiet but that doesn't mean our lives have been quiet, too.

[ascatic]

A simple message, but one that I am happy to receive.
The month has certainly been less eventful, but you are right.
Other things have occurred.

For the most part, I have kept my changes hidden with the use of a hood.
But as the month progressed, it became more and more difficult.

You...

Do you like cats, Kei?

[livingimpaired]

Other things?
I'm assuming physical changes?

Do I like cats?
I believe I would upset quite a few people I know if I said I didn't.

... why?

[Continuing from here ]

Hey, Leon!

[Nanashi's waiting for you at the front door. He looks so pale in the face and he's can't even walk straight. The poor kid's on crutches. Standing is so hard....give him a break.]

I'm here. Long time no see.

[It's been like two months.]

[ascatic]

[ ears alert and tail upright, Leon immediately (but carefully) places the mug down at the counter and goes right to the door. with an outstretched hand, he can't keep the look of concern off his face. ]

Hey. What did you do?

[ crutches, a sign of Not Okayness. ]

text; 6/5ish? nighttime?

[floret]

Sorry to text so late.

[yakan]
