textt; probably sometime near the start of august tbh

Hey choom, just got myself two new presents. What those gonk influencers from home called self-care or whatever bullshit.

[ Attached are two images: that of a car and of a panther-like cat that had too many legs and strange appendages. The picture of the cat was actually pretty cute: it was nose to nose with Nibbles, the two greeting each other. ]

[disrupts]

Know plenty of gonks who'd say otherwise but self care's a real thing and I'm glad you're doin it

[ There's a pause between the first message and the second, long enough for a merc to open up the attachments and get distracted in very different ways. ]

Fuck, that Caliburn's doing things to me

The fuck's the big cat thing though? You sure Nibbles ain't gonna get swallowed?

[bodyoftheseus]

[ The real self care's spending time with Vince and/or Kerry, but that wasn't going to be sent over text. ]

If you ask nice I'll let ya drive the Caliburn ;)

...Consider it an apology for stealin' your bike

[ Which was returned without a scratch, to be fair, but Vincent still felt bad about the way teenage him acted. He'd have to come up with a different apology for holding him at gunpoint. ]

Honestly, not Nibbles I'm worried about. Snickers seems to like Nibs way more'n she likes me

[disrupts]

Always ask nice. Gonna ask the most preem way I can think of though. Feels like too long since I was behind the wheel of something fast

Ok but what is it? And why you got something that might eat ya?

[bodyoftheseus]

Same, choom, same. Workin' on gettin' the GPS system from the network device uploaded to it so it can autonav like back home. Sure glad I been picking these things apart since I got here but Snickers been taking up all my time

I really don't know? I told them I was interested in adopting a cat and they said that there were some special needs creatures that were affected by Malachite kinda like how we been dragged here and they needed homes too. They said they had a cat available if I were interested and who else would adopt her?

[ Look - Vincent's a huge softie, okay? He can't say no to a cat in need. ]

[disrupts]

[ ...yeah, suddenly things get real understandable. This makes sense. Vincent is a soft gonk and that's all the clarification V needs. ]

Worse for adopting strays than I am

So why'd ya call her Snickers?

[bodyoftheseus]

Dunno about that, you picked up me and didn't let me go and I'm still questioning that judgment ;)

Vorpal blade went snicker-snack
She's got claws like shivs and she knows how to use them

[disrupts]

You got outta the clawing and biting stage pretty quick

Least you did outside of specific circumstances

She looks like she's gonna eat anybody who steps through your front door for breakfast lunch and dinner

[bodyoftheseus]

Was gonna say - don't think I'll ever really be outta that, but I'll let it alone

Considering that's about how she treats me I think you're right 😥 Maybe shoot me a heads up before you come over for a while until she decides you're not a midmorning snack?

I just realized I didn't even tell you the weirdest part about Snickers - wherever you see her isn't where she actually is. She's got this power to project herself a few feet to the side of where she is so she looks like she's somewhere she's not

Idk if that makes sense

[disrupts]

What? I'm always a snack...

So not only is she lethal but also difficult to exactly pinpoint?

Exactly what did this adoption place say to ya to get you to agree to this? Not gonna find ya as a pile of cat chow next time I do swing by?

P.S. don't gotta let it alone

[bodyoftheseus]

One of my hobbies is making sweaters for Nibbles and you got to ask what they said to make me agree to adopt a bigger cat?

Nah, you shoulda seen her with the gems that brought her out - thought for sure they were gonna be zeroed. She's just been setting boundaries with me. Aggressively
