un: okumura, video

[reflash]

[This video feed contains... one black cat. It has short, soft fur and a pink nose with black freckles, and mismatched eyes (one blue, one green).

The cat meows, just to make sure he has her attention, and then walks over to a nearby low table (the video is coming from someone's apartment). He stands on his hind legs, puts his front paws on the edge of the table for support and sort of shuffles sideways.]

[she'd intended to keep things to text but she can't help but automatically respond in the same format because-]

The cat is walking!?!

Re: video

[reflash]

[He looks back and the device when she yells. And nods. Then he taps one front paw and then the other against the table.

The cat is walking, and you can too!]

[lumberlady]

And the cat is people smart!?!

[reflash]

[He leaves the table alone to go back (on all fours, he is not a biped) to the bracelet.

Which he gently picks up in his teeth (he's doing his best not to like, put his mouth directly on the camera) and walks over to a window. Drops the camera again, points one paw at the Cordis moon and then pats his face.

The cat is not just people smart. The cat is people.]

[lumberlady]

Oh...

[She just... watches... dumbstruck... cat mouth-ish... window... Cordis-]

Oh...

[DOUBLE TAKE to the user name that's right there's usernames]

Okumura-san?!

[reflash]

[Nods.

He's the cat. It's him. Cordis is the worst.]

[lumberlady]

[forgive her for being flabbergasted enough to just repeat the obvious but-]

You become a cat during Cordis? Not just- Not just cute ears or something?!

[reflash]

[He nods, because "I just got all the mental stuff with no cute cat ears last time, but apparently I'm entirely a cat with all the cordis mental stuff this time" is more than he can explain when he can't talk.

He taps the screen with a paw. What's going on with you, Konoha-san?]

[lumberlady]

[all she sees is a nod and a tap... wait, what does it mean?]

Do- Do you need help?

[reflash]

[He shakes his head. Taps the screen again.

This is not optimized for kitten paws. Here's a text? Maybe?]

yyyyyuuu

[lumberlady]

Yu...

Yes! Yukio! I remember your name! You're Okumura Yukio!

[reflash]

[... not what he was going for but okay. He nods, because she's right, that's his name. It's just also his inability to type properly right now.

He'll try again, looking very focused as he bats at the screen.]

uuuuuu oiiiokk

[lumberlady]

[just watching... with baited breath... at the cat typing...]

Oh- Me!

[how sweet... he was an entire cat right now, but he's worried about her?]

No, I- I mean, yes, I'm... this is really weird, but... I'm healthy... except for the bloody nose...

[reflash]

[He would like to make sure her nose is okay, but he is an entire cat right now, and that's not the ideal form for telehealth first aid.

He does tap his nose anyway. Just to check up on that, because her nose doesn't look broken from here, but it might be.]

[lumberlady]

[It's... weirdly cute... seeing a cat move like that even if she knows it's a person...

So she leans in to the video to show her nose. Not broken, just bruised a little.]

Ah... I fell on my face a little...

[reflash]

[He picks up the bracelet again, and heads into the kitchen. Points one paw at the fridge.]

icxeeee

[lumberlady]

[ice- !]

Aha... That's a really good idea...

[Hnnngh, but-]

I think, um. I can probably get to the kitchen... I never imagined this would be so hard...

[reflash]

[Oh yeah that might be a problem. He drops down to his belly and sort of. wiggles? crawls? something like that across the floor until he gets to a cabinet and stands up on his back legs, holding the door for support.]

[lumberlady]

Oh...

[She wriggles in place a bit, embarrassed, even as she nods.]

Yeah, I could do that...

[But she has... some! some dignity!]

I- I’ll try to get some lessons first... !

[reflash]

[He rubs his cheek on the bracelet, purring a little bit. You can do it! He believes in you!]

[lumberlady]

Are- Are you sure you don't need anything, Okumura-san?

[He's... the cat... Yet he seems so much more capable!]

[reflash]

[He nods, still purring. He's fine, thank you.]

nno

beeeee saaaaafgfw

[lumberlady]

Oh-

[that’s sweet...]

No, you be safe! You’re tiny!

[reflash]

[He rubs his cheek against the bracelet again, still purring loudly. He pulls back, gives her one more nod, and turns off the video. He's done what he can, and hopefully someone else will help her out more than he could.]
