[Oh whoops. Someone bumped the phone off the hook! And just in time for a very interesting conversation to be heard, too.]

[... Because it honestly sounds as if there are two people arguing. Or one person is ranting and raving while the other sits there and takes it. One voice is lower, slightly more distorted than the other. It may be recognizable to some.]

[Someone got their crazy spirit friend back -- and said friend isn't entirely pleased with the situation they've landed themselves in.]

-- they amuse themselves with pointless questions and meaningless power struggles! With matters of affection. Trivial pursuits while those in power continue to hold back what is rightfully ours!

They restrain and shackle us! We are no better than tranquil! Animals, grown content with our cages!

[Something slams against a hard surface -- a hand into a countertop, probably.]

Something will be done about this. Such entrapment, such complacency will not last.

There is work to be done.

[The voice trails off, and there's silence for several long seconds. Finally, someone picks up the phone, and sets it back in its cradle.]

[... Only to call out again a few minutes later, as if nothing at all had ever happened.]

I... have a question, to any who might respond. In regards to our status here, in the town.

I've never heard of it.

Why do you want to meet my cat?

[madanomadamada]

Well it's just the first language of one country. But Japan's a famous country. [ How can you not have heard of it, seriously. ]

Cuz I like cats. [ Obviously. ]

[3wayforjustice]

Not in my world, it isn't.

So you just ask random strangers if you can visit their cats?

[madanomadamada]

How long've you been here? There's tons of people from Japan in this place, you should've met a few.

So what? I haven't seen Karupin for months now.

[3wayforjustice]

I don't generally get into discussions of origins with people.

[Because he doesn't care enough. Isn't he charming?]

Seen... what?

[madanomadamada]

You haven't talked about it at all? Like, your fake family.

[ Very charming. ]

Karupin. My cat.

[3wayforjustice]

Are all entirely drones. Thank you so much for bringing that up.

Oh. I see.

[madanomadamada]

Still could've talked about it to someone. [ Not feeling even slightly bad, nope. ]

So can I meet your cat?
