Main Room
This is a sizable and comfy room of a relatively small cafe on the corner of
Thor East and Tyr. Tables are lined about neatly in an L coordination about a
likely L-shaped counter, where foot stools are placed for extra seating.
Behind the counter, a large cutout in the wall allows communication between the
registreers and the cooks, and the waitress or waiter on duty moves back and
forth from this room to the kitchen through a wooden door placed to the side of
it. Set into the northeastern corner, are two public payphones, the restrooms,
and some stairs, apparently leading up to an apartment above. There is little
to know decoration of the mostly wood-furnished structure, and what there is
seems to be following a 50s theme. With a few nostalgic objects of yore, most
notably a jukebox. (Use 'menu' and 'order' to order things.)

>Tasuki is sitting (whoa) quietly, at a booth near the door.
>Katt steps back into the cafe, looking rather as depressed and confused as when
she left. Her outfit has changed a bit, though, for the winter, as she's
wearing a greay jacket.
>Hex says, "So Miss Pussy is back for anoter quote "Man" unquote."
>Katt changes her path; before she was headed towards a table near the kitchen,
now she walks towards Hex. Her mood... it is NOT good. Oddly enough, she
doesn't seem all angry violent as she usually is... there's just a blank
expression on her face. The lashing of her tail tells differently, however.
When she gets next to Hex, she slowly looks down at him, and says, in a slow,
even tone, "Please watch your language."
>l me
Katt(#708PB$)
-=O=- -=-=- -= Katt =- -=-=- -=O=-
Hmm, now this is one interesting lady, that's for sure. She's definately in the
petite category, about 5'1", and her build is slight; lean and toned. Her
figure is excellent, if you prefer athletic women, with just the right amount
of curvature. However, the first thing to strike your eyes is probably the fact
she's a feline. Not entirely mind you, but the resemblance is more than
coincidental. Her ears are furry, pointed cat ears, and tiger stripes mark her
cheeks. Further down, below the waist, she's covered in tiger-striped fur; her
toes are clawed, and a bushy tail sways behind her. Looking towards her face
you see that she could be considered attractive, if more towards 'cute' then
'beautiful'. Her wide brown eyes meet yours, and close-cut red hair frames her
face.
Her outfit is conservative... well, not conservative as in old-fashioned, but
conservative in the 'wear as little as possible to allow free movement' school
of fashion design. The central piece is the blue halter top she wears. It's
tied around the back of her neck, and held down by a broad leather belt. In
time for the coming winter, she has acquired a jacket; it's midway between a
windbreaker and a parka, a dull grey color, quite in contrast to the rest of
her outfit, and, well, herself. Her hands are protected by fingerless purple
gloves, the back of the knuckles studded with brass, perhaps to make an
effective striking surface. As you look downwards, you can't tell if she's
wearing pants or not, as the jacket hangs low on her body, but purple thigh
boots cover her feet. They're toeless, so her clawed feet can peek through, and
they flare out at the top.
Carrying: (Currency: 536 dead tamagotchis)
Staff(#1828), and Midgaard City Map(#798)
>Tasuki glances at Hex, and follows his gaze to...Katt! Oh boy. He scoots along
the booth, closer to the wall. Still visible, maybe less noticeable now.
Whatever works. n.n;
>Katt (OOC) Maybe I should start charging viewing fees '-.-'
>*** Tasuki has just looked at you funny ***
>Hex exclaims, "And if I don't you walking bag of gabage? You nearly broke my
nose with that thingy of yours. I should to beat you to a yellow pulp!"
>Hex says, "(OOC) I mean pussy as in "Pussy Cat.""
>Katt (OOC) Yes, but it doesn't sound that way to her 'o.-'
>Tasuki says, "(OOC) and even if it did, it'd be pretty insulting. o.o"
>Katt narrows her eyes, continuing in the same... calm... even... and yet still
frighening tone, "... I'd rather not break anything else of yours, hmm? So
please be quiet."
>Tasuki slides underneath the table and crawls out from the bottom. Why he just
didn't slide accross is beyond all of us. o.o He walks over to Katt and Hex,
flashing a fanged glare at Hex, "Who'd you say was a bag of garbage, you rotten
little s***?"
>Katt notices Tasuki... the recognition bringing a momentary shock to her
features, but it fades quickly... though she's even MORE nervous now, though
apparently, not about the little conflict 'c.c'
>Hex gets off his chair. "What now? You got stood up? He was a horny pervert?
What? you can tell me."
>Katt (OOC) pulls out a little device that reads, "Katt's rampage-o-meter". Hmm,
according to the dial, it's at 8 out of 10 'o.o'
>Luke has connected.
>Tasuki snarls, "You son of a *****!" He whips his tessen out, "Lekka shien!!!"
Slicing the fan through the air, an explosion of flame bursting out towards the
monkey, the inferno expulsed at point blank range at that. Eww, imagine all the
burnt hair if that hits... u.u
>Luke (OOC) ROTFLMAO!!! I am Ed McMahon of Borg. You may already have been
assimilated!
>Luke asks, "(OOC) Back....and you got into trouble -ALREADY- Hex?"
>Katt narrows her eyes at Hex, but whatever scathing reply she had was cut off
by Tasuki's sudden attack. Who'da thought he'd snap before her?
>Tasuki (OOC) has a rampage factor of two. n.n Pissed off, or not pissed off. n.n
>Luke walks in from the Men's Bathroom, looking rather refreshed. Luke wiggles
the lit cigarette in his mouth and brushes back his hair. And sees the sudden
cone of fire in the cafe. . o O (...looks like -SOME- one pissed off Tasuki.)
>Hex falls off his chair in time to avoid becoming monkey al la burnt.
>Katt crosses her arms under her chest. She isn't -frustrated- enough to start
smashing stuff at random, but she's still a bit miffed about... stuff in
general.
>Tasuki folds his fan, thrusting it at the monkey's skull, the second he moves a
muscle. Lightning fast reflexes and all. *pose* c.c
>Besides, Tasuki is doing it for her 'n.n'
>Hex is about to do some serious nut busting if you don't explan why you alomst
killed me, "Dude."
>Luke, in the spray of flame and smoke, notices a small shilouette of a monkey
fall off his chair, whom he immediately recognizes as Hex. The same Hex who
shot him in the back after he whupped his butt. The man grins sardonically,
looking down at Hex with clenched fists....you can actually HEAR the leather
cracking amidst the noise. And decides to let Tasuki take care of Hex, since
he's feelin' oh-so-pretty from the bathroom break. Luke takes a seat out of
Tasuki's way, AWAY from the Katt (Who pales in his wrath and rudeness to what
he has for Hex) and watches the phun!
>Katt will have to show you wrath and rudeness sometime. It's lots of fun. But
for the moment, she's too... blah... for that wrath thing, y'know? Just no fun
and all.
>Luke says, "(OOC) ....be GLAD that was dramatic irony."
>Tasuki doesn't need to explain *WHY* he's going to kill you, he's going to do
it anyways. n.n By the way, a solid iron fan is going to cascade into your
cranium, how about a little response? n.n
>Luke says, "(OOC) ...I think he's either lagging or his ISP is screwed up more
than Archie Comic's Sonic the Hedgehog and MobiusMUCK."
>Tasuki stops a half inch away from giving Hex a permanent cranial dent, and
holsters his tessen, "If you're just going to sit around like a dumb s***, it's
no fun in thrashing you."
>Luke . o O ( ...damn. It was getting -GOOD- too. )
>Katt walks over, across the bar, AWAY from Hex, taking a seat at a booth with a
sigh. Even picking on the monkey wasn't fun.
>Tasuki glances over at Katt, "..."
>Katt doesn't notice Tasuki's glance. She's too busy feeling sorry for herself.
>Tasuki walks over to the Katt's booth slowly. Very slowly. Like he isn't even
sure if he's going to go there, or not. It's obvious that he's a bit nervous,
when he isn't under pressure.
>Katt sits there, resting her head in her hands, apparently in thought. Well,
either in thought, or paying real close attention to the pattern on the
wallpaper . o O ( First Arin says he likes me... then Tasuki... and all the
time, Ryu barely even notices I'm alive... )
>Echartea hmms
>Tasuki whispers, "How is your staff situated? n.n" to you.
>You whisper, "Strapped to her back. She can reach it, but you'll PROBABLY have
enough time to dodge if necessary 'n.n'" to Tasuki.
>Tasuki walks up to the edge of Katt's table, and opens his mouth, no sort of
sound coming out. He shakes his head, figuring that he'd do little more than
upset her. He walks towards the counter, stepping on a *creeeeaaaakyyyyy* floor
board as he does so.
>Katt doesn't even flinch. Woah. No flying splinters, broken bones, ANYTHING.
She must REALLY be depressed.
>Tasuki orders a glass of milk. Not for himself, of course. When the glass
comes, he pulls out his tessen, picking the glass up. He keeps it as far away
from himself as possible, as if it were radioactive waste. He then walks
accross the room at a normal pace, setting the glass down in front of Katt.
"Here."
>Katt blinks, being roused from her sulking enough to look up at Tasuki. She
promptly blushes as red as a beet 'o.o';
>Tasuki says, a bit robotically, "Drink up, you'll feel better."
>Echartea blinks
>Luke watches the scene with some interest; probably being the only guy besides
Tom Servo and &c not to go head over heels for 'er. This is SWEET. Where's my
cigarettes?
>Katt (OOC) snickers. You'd think after I beat these people's heads in they'd
look somewhere else, but nope... bust be Masochists, the lot of 'em c.c
>Echartea (OOC) just kinda...grins....wickedly.
>Katt stammers a little. "Ah... erm... thanks..." She tries really hard to
salvage her dignity. Doesn't WORK, but it's a valiant effort.
>Luke lights up a...no...TWO cigarettes after finding that consorn package.
>Milk. Geez, this is even better than reading a Sonikku Misting; no, make that a
Tom, Mike, and Crow Misting.
>Tasuki nods to her, sending his gaze out the door. Eye contact is a negative
here, repeat, a negative.
>Katt seems to be watching the pretty wall herself. Yup, nothing like wallpaper
for a thrilling view. "So... um... want a seat, or something?"
>Tasuki tries to sidle into a seat, instead just smacking his left abdomen into
the side of the table. He feels around for the corner, then takes a seat.
"Thanks..." Grain of the table, that's what he's looking at now. He puts his
finger down, and begins to draw an imaginary path out of the maze that is the grain.
>Luke, what was left of his tact, was thrown out the window by...ummm...earlier
events. So, without even asking if he's invited, sits on a table nearby, not
one but TWO cigarettes apuffing.
>Katt rubs the bridge of her nose. Finally taking a moment to see what Tasuki
actually bought her . o O ( Milk? ) she smiles weakly at Tasuki, forcing
out a, "... Um... thanks."
>Tasuki says, "...welcome..." He doesn't know what to say. He slides out of the
seat, "I..gotta go. Maybe I'll see you some other time."
>Katt sits up, finally looking at him. "Oh? Uh... see you later, or something,
then, I guess..."
>Luke knows what to say, however. Just... wait... till... Tasuki... leaves...
the... bar... . o O (Gee...Mr. Hairy is gonna be pissed.)
>Tasuki says, "I shouldn't have said what I said last night...sorry."
>Tasuki stands, and walks over to the exit, casting a quick glance at Luke. He
knows now, too. Oh well...
>Katt looks down at the table again, rubbing the bridge of her nose. If she had
a reply, she doesn't say it. "..."
>Tasuki smacks his forehead with a clenched palm, opening the door. "..." Jeez,
he's deliberating.
>Soreth walks in from the street outside.
>Soreth slithers in quietly and takes a seat at the back.
>Luke knews, already, now, and slowly sidles into the chair Tasuki once sat in.
>Luke gives her a stoic, yet bemused smile. ".... howdy .... how's life been
treatin' ya'll?"
>Katt looks up, at Luke. Has no problem looking at annoying people, apparently.
"Good. Been treating me good." She doesn't seem to notice the giant snake
perseon... hell, some of her friends are more unusual.
>Tasuki has left.
>Luke waves over towards Soreth cordially, taking a long puff of his cigarette.
"...gee... that was -REAL- informative."
>Soreth looks around with an expression of mild curiosity.
>Katt doesn't like the smoke, but she isn't feeling good enough or frustrated
enough to do anything about it. She just keeps resting her head on her hands,
occasionally mumbling something to herself. "..."
>Luke, wearing his cigarette down to a butt really quickly, holds it between his
teeth and looks towards Katt coolly. "... You dun like 'im, do ya'?" Luke
quickly amends: "As a lover, I should say."
>Katt snaps to attention at that. Wow, talk about an extreme reaction. "WHAT!?
What do you mean by THAT!?"
>Soreth blinks.
>Luke keeps his cool; mindful of the staff. Thankfully he had been smart enough
to keep well out of beaning distance. "Nuthin'. Other than I know that at least
one udder' dude like ya'll. And ya can't love two guys at once..." Luke pauses
to exhale the last of the smoke. "...and as a final eye-ronny ya'll like
someone else, I betcha."
>Katt taptaptaps her fingers on the table. Well, her mood has changed, at least.
"They're... nice! That's good enough."
>Luke points at the glass of untouched milk, purposely disregarding her
explanation. Suuuuurrrreeee you do. "...ya'll gonna drink 'dat?"
>Echartea looks around.
>Echartea shakes his head softly, and closes his eyes, fading away
>Katt looks down at the milk, pausing a moment. First person to mention saucers
dies. She snatches it up and guzzles it down, as it's as good an excuse as any
to shut up.
>Echartea has left.
>Luke feigns upsetness. "...fine. Hog all da' milk." and decides to press on
even further, asking a, ah, BOLD question. "I'm right; ain't I?"
>Katt doesn't dignify that with a response. Take that as you will.
>Luke fishes through his jacket for another cigarette, but only finds some floth
and lint. "I'll take 'dat as a 'hell yeah'. Perdon me for being so nosey, but
wha' about that other dude? Ya'll know; the freaky es-mo-plas-mic dude."
>Luke (OOC) is glaaaaad I'm asking this when yer not in a good mood. I don't
feel like buying another bottle of Ibuprofen.
>Katt hmmphs. She's really trying her best to resist the urge to break a certain
person's skull. "He's... a good dinner companion."
>Luke tests his luck again. "...ya'll know, that's real 'vasive of ya'll, but it
really dun help anythan', since ya'll haveta' pick one or da' other." . o O (I
bet you a million clams it's someone I haven't even heard of with some freaky
hair and muscles.)
>Katt crosses her arms under her chest, as if pondering this, for a moment. "..."
>Luke decides to answer the question for himself. Is this guy good or what? Luke
stands up in his chair and crows triumphantly- "A-HA! It IS someone else, ain't
it? Ain't it?"
>Soreth ponders violence against Luke to make him shut up, then decides it
probably isn't worth it.
>Katt slings the staff off from over her shoulder, twirling it in her hand and
bopping Luke on the head. Not as hard as she would have liked, but enough to
get the point across. A snarl crosses Katt's face... she doesn't like this
train of conversation...
>Luke says, "(OOC) Whhhhhhaaaaaatttttttt?? Dammit, it was bad enough when Katt
wanted to bash my brains in but now the Nacho Snake wants a piece of this??
It's on! *reaches for his baseball bat* Come 'ere, Soreth. This won't hurt a
BIT! I promise! C'mon! Why won't you believe me??"
>Luke rubs his hand on top of his head, already been whapped there by several
other people. Luke shrugs callously and sits back in the chair. "... hit me as
much as ya'll want but it won't change anythan' ... can I get ya'll somethan'?"
>Katt blinks, ready to whap Luke again right as he changes the topic. "Eh? Want
something. I already ate."
>Luke leans back on the chair, tilting it backwards as he attains a relaxed
position. "...ya'll wanna talk 'bout it summore, or what?"
>Katt hmmphs, looking back down at the table. "Nope."
>Luke looks Katt riiiight in the eye with his own. "... is datta' 'No' nope or a
'Yes' nope?"
>That'd be kinda hard, seeing as how she's watching the wood grain on the table.
"N. O. No. Nope. Don't wanna. now leave me ALONE."
>Luke shrugs helplessly. The man about to get up from the table, but decides
he'd rather pester Katt. Especially since he'll have be the one to tell a
psychotic tessen-man or a Woody Allenish shadow the bad news. Or both. Either
way, we'll have a lot of fun, eh??
>Katt proceeds to ignore Luke. Or try to.
>Luke calls over towards the Waitress that he wants a hamburger. With fries.
While waiting for his food, Luke tries-I mean TRIES- to act civil by asking a
neutral question, in a completely earnest, non-arrogant (I'm really trying,
folks.) tone of voice. "...ya'll dun' seem ta' be from 'round 'ere. Might I ask
where ya'll from?"
>Katt says, in a quick, simple reply, "... Someplace else." '-.-'
>Luke ooooiesss at Katt in a mocking awed voice. "No.... are you REALLY? Tell me
more."
>Katt (OOC) doesn't think the world ever got a name, actually 'o.o'
>Luke shrugs and goes towards the counter to get his hamburger, THIS time going
back to a different table since he apparently wore out his welcome. (New
Record!)
>Soreth has left.
>Katt sighs, quite audibly, as Luke takes his leave.
>Luke sits upon the table, searching for some encouraging words to say to his,
although he doesn't like to admit it, friend. "... do you hate 'dat monkey?"
Good one, Frank.
>Katt gets a twitch in her eyebrow, and her tail lashes. "Oh yes."
>Luke cannot tell you I hate Hex. He threatened to shoot me if I didn't buy him
a drink, he embarrassed me in public with his 'monkey beggar' act and everyone
thought he belonged to -ME-, and as the final straw, he shot me in the back
with his freeze gun while I was explaining to Derek why I was kicking his ***
in the bar. "...I hate 'im, too."
>Katt clenches her fists, holding them out, as if to strangle someone. "Yeah...
what I'd do to him when I get my hands on his neck..." Well, she seems to be
back to normal spirits.
>Luke, nods to Katt, knowing that Hex is on -everyone's- $#!+ list nowadays. I
call first dibs. Luke grins at the fightin' mad gal and steps into the
bathroom, clenching his fists together.
>Katt . o O ( Bathroom AGAIN? What the hell's he been eating? )
