The current influx of, ah, individuals- while not necessarily unusual, is still considered a deviation from status quo, yes? 

[ Muttering about time and the coinciding of the start of the month with this sudden influx-- there is a pause as he considers whether he really wants to make this a public announcement or if he wants to wander The City by himself.

Why not make use of the hundreds of eyes at his disposal? ]

I assume that everyone has their hands full, so I will make this brief. If anyone happens to spy a chubby grey tabby with yellow eyes, or an all white cat with green eyes, would you please contact me?

Much appreciated.



[ ooc: anything goes! Yusuf is cool to just talk about cats tbh ]

[ Oh the wisdom of a cat-- if only she knew how Eames stalks her just as often as she stalks him. They're quite the pair, even when she's curled up on his belly, refusing to give up her papasan even if someone is already sleeping in it. ]

I suppose we will have to keep you away from the bird. Not that you have ever shown a particular interest in ingesting parakeet- but we cannot have you eating Arthur's friends.

[ When she cracks one eye open at that, Yusuf stands his ground against cute kitty assault. ]

I mean it, chew on Eames if you must.

[ Arthur doesn't seem like a cat person-- then again...

Pancake. ]

I am glad you like that alternative. [ Smiling down at the little rumbling feline in his arms, Yusuf opens the doors to Building 11 with his hip and heads toward the elevator. Since she first showed up on Yusuf's doorstep, she has only ever surmounted piles of books and the occasional shelf to play with vials that she knows she shouldn't. He can only hope she reacts well to the elevator, as there is no way in hell Yusuf is going to trek up 9 flights of stairs. ]

Though I suggest you play nice with Pancake when we get there. [ More pets as the elevator makes its way down to the lobby. ] After all, he has seniority.

[ The clawing is pretty much par for the course since cat + new experiences can only lead down one of two paths: confusion or disaster. From the look on Rhada's face, its the former with a dash of anxious questioning if it should have been the latter. The elevator deposits them on the 9th floor before she has a chance to change her mind.

Heading down to the flat, Yusuf lets himself in with attention to any snuffling that might signal Pancake's presence at the door. He's pretty good at letting anyone inside know if someone is at the door- his whole body wagging with excitement. ]

Is anyone home? I have good news!

You've concocted a vial of something that will heal my leg much more quickly?

[ Eames calls from the kitchen, using his brand new cane to hobble himself out to see Yusuf, brow raising. Pancake is tangled up between his bare feet, though both his attention and the dog's are quickly swept up with the feline in Yusuf's arms. ]

Rhada would manage to inject herself down here just to be fed.

[ Surprise = 0. ]

No, suffering is part of the learning process.

[ Shutting the door behind him, Yusuf readjusts his hold on Rhada- not quite knowing how she will react to the scritch-scratch clattering of Pancake's nails on the floor or his presence at all, for that matter. The look Yusuf gives Eames is one of insurmountable pride, like Rhada has accomplished some great feat in finding him down here.

He hasn't had a chance to think on whether her presence is a good or a bad thing- or, if it will be continued past this weekend. ]

Does she look thinner to you?

[ IS THAT A- actually what is that...? ]

[signatures]

It'd have been nice to receive a memo about that.

[ Still, the important thing here is that Yusuf has found Rhada, and a happy Yusuf makes a pleased Eames. It's nothing to thumb his nose about. ]

Are you really asking me if your obese cat looks less obese?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Welcome to life princess. [ Except, the way Yusuf says it makes 'princess' sound a lot more like 'butthead'. Yusuf has brothers he doesn't treat this badly-- then again, Yusuf's brothers have never woken up in his bed to their hairy legs being kneaded by kitten paws.

Trade offs. ]

Short haired cats always look larger than they are. [ Which is not putting a number on her pound for pound. Adjusting his hold on her when Pancake takes an interested step forward (Rhada's eyes going saucer -wide) Yusuf adds, ] She feels lighter.

[ Numbers? What are numbers? ]

[signatures]

[ There are times when Eames may or may not be jealous of Yusuf's kin, if he knew the comparison. Still, he supposes he's enough used to it by now that it's hardly a measure of issue either way. ]

I thought that was long-haired? [ he counters, nudging Pancake back to sit on his feet with his cane. Should have went ahead and bought the baby grate for the dog the first time he'd thought he'd need it. ]

Maybe she only feels that way because it's been some time since you last held her.

[ A cat? A rat? A mat? Looks like... a toy. No one can replace Pancake as top animal in the Inderption household! New house, new rules, cat-rat-mat-toy-thing. ]

You're sacrificing me to the cat?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

In some cultures, that is a great honor.

[signatures]

I'm not honored.

[not really here]

[icanshasdweems.livejournal.com]

[yusuf agrees with rhada; whats ur problem eames?]

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

But you will be nibbled upon.

[eames thinks the both of you are nuts]

[signatures]

But I'm injured. Can't I get an exemption?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

That decision is entirely out of my hands.

[ Yusuf indicates the cat in his arms, as if saying take it up with management. ]

[signatures]

Oi.

[ Not like it's much of a battle, anyway. They don't even have a papasan. ]

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

[ But they do have a couch- and kitty physics dictates that kitty will expand to fill any given area.

So. ]
