mayfield_rpg | 4th Evoking

[action: Downtown]

[This street is empty. Not a single person can be seen. Even the notorious drones are absent. Only Minato is here, alone. Hands placed absent-mindedly in his pockets, he stares at the sky. It's perfect, as usual for Mayfield. Although given the past few months, he half-expected it to tear open any second.

October 4th had come and past by, yet this strange feeling hadn't left Minato. The sense that something was building up to a huge event, one that will leave disastrous consequences for everyone. It was like that for him last January too, as well as the next two months after. Except both times, he knew when that cataclysmic event would happen. This, he doesn't know when exactly the inevitable would strike, only that it would.

Was this how regular people lived? Man instinctively knows their death is coming, but most never know when the Reaper will come until he's close by with his rattling chains.

It's the same for Mayfield. In the end, nothing can stay unchanged forever. The town, which should have died a long time ago, still struggles to remain alive, fighting against its inevitable destruction. And in its own twisted way, it also tried to protect its inhabitants. There's a lot Mayfield has done that Minato can't condone, but for those aforementioned things, perhaps Mayfield deserves some props.

That doesn't mean he won't join in the final fight. People also deserve their right to make their own choices.

But for now, he'll appreciate the little time Mayfield gave him.

Hmm? Apparently the streets aren't completely empty. There's still one cat there...a familiar-looking one. Wait, could it be--?

"Coco?"

A year ago, Minato had taken in a stray cat. That same cat was killed in the bombing, and he never saw it again. And now, another cat like it was here.

......

Out of mere curiosity, he followed it. The cat walked down a dark alley, unmindful that it was being followed. And there Minato saw why.

In an overturned wood box, was a full litter of kittens.

Hi. Would anyone like some free kittens?

I was unaware that reproduction was possible among this town's animals.

Miracles do happen.

Or perhaps this is another sign that Zemekis' control has decayed.

[Huh :|]

Either way, do you want a kitten?

Free kittens? [ Really, that's what he's reduced himself to? ] Arisato-kun, is that really the best use of our time? Wandering around with free kittens?

[ ... ]

If you need help in caring for them, I'm sure Ruby can provide... something. A demon cat from my imagination can care for them, can't she?

[ There's the sound of laughter in the background. ] Er, maybe not...

They're still in one place. I haven't taken them with me.

[No comment on the demon cat :|a]

[ Ruby doesn't care for the opinion of a dead guy any way. ]

Er, then how can you offer them? What if they aren't there when you return?

Kittens?

... Are they drones or what?

Does it matter?

[They're still cute :\]

[Yes, well, you don't understand what they're saying, bro.

But instead of saying that, Clover just answers with a growly mumble.]

Kittens? How cute.

Would you like one?

No... I think the terror of a new kitten would give poor Rincewind a heart attack.

K-kittens?

[The voice is small, and surprised.]

Really real kittens, nyaa? Where'd they come from?

From an alleyway.

Did you leave them there?! Did they have a momma cat, nyaa?!

[Kittens are serious business.]

You're giving away cats?

More finding a home for them.

How many?

Kittens... in this place?

You've never seen any?

No, not here. In fact, I've not seen anything that could be considered an infant here. The youngest children I've seen are at least kindergarten age, and the animals are the same way.

[Rin probably doesn't need a pet other than her dog, but... kittens are really cute, so she thinks about it anyway.]

Kittens, huh... I wonder if Lenlen would be good with them. ♪

It's worth a shot.

[Minato would like to think cats and dogs can get along. It just takes getting to know one another.]

Yeah...

Are they at your place? I could stop by. ♪

[And if it doesn't work out, he's only a couple houses down.]
