ROLE: Playtime Kitten 🙀

PLAYTIME KITTEN

Today, regardless of wherever Nogiku is, they will soon receive a text message from Riff.

hey. can u come through the arch? i have something for u

They don't really have time to question what arch Riff means as the ground begins to rumble and a steel, blue archway erects before them.

As Nogiku enters through the archway they'll find themselves in what appears to be a small park. Small, grassy slopes seem to stretch endlessly and a few unidentifiable buildings can be scene in the distance. Sitting on a bench under a tree is Riff with their phone in their hand. Without looking up, they send another message.

playtime kitten...ok then

RULES
1. make a choice from the list i give u
2. decide who is receiving what u pick
3. it cant be the same person each week sry
4. cant tell anyone either

After reading the rules, they will find that an image becomes the home screen of their phone and feel something...sticky...appear on their tongue as a temporary tattoo of the same image appears.

Once the brand settles in, Riff looks up from their phone, patiently waiting before there's an awkward shrug and another message.

ill try to help i guess

[...they don't have a mouth, but they look like they're giving her an amused look.]

ya
thats totally a possibility
u could always try it out if u want

[pura]

I'll think about it. If my hunch is right, it should at least allow me to stake out some places without being noticed...

[She hates her furry destiny. It's gonna happen. But she hates it.]

Though... I'm still not sure why I received something like this. And if my choice last week even did anything.

[saturations]

get a vantage point?
not a bad idea
...i mean
i can tell u that someone did receive something from ur choice
so it did do something

[pura]

Something like that. Though, I'm worried about the transformation.

[RIP, Ryunosuke. His meaty transformer ways will be burned into her memory forever.

Though, at that, she blinks. With a little hum, she tilts her head thoughtfully.]

Well, hopefully, it turned out to be something useful... Is that how it works, then? Out of the three I pick, only one gets the item.

[saturations]

i feel like this one would be a lot less painful and weird than a freaking truck
but ya
three names
one person gets the item
not sure why the limitation but thats how it works

[pura]

... Huh. So even I won't really know who's gotten a boon.

[saturations]

unless u choose to keep it for urself no
but u can ask around and see who might have something
u know who ur picking

[pura]

I could, if I find a way to ask without looking suspicious... But no one's brought it up publicly yet, or come to me privately. [So it would seem weird to ask, she thinks.] And I can't pick myself again, anyway, right?

[saturations]

lay low for a bit and see what happens
im sure ull figure something out
u can pick urself if u wanted
i guess...maybe if u want to make sure the item goes to u and no one else
only pick urself?
but after u make the pick u cant do it again

[pura]

[Hmm... She nods.]

So, what you're saying is... If I want to keep the item, I can nominate only myself, but then never again. Is the same true for everyone else? Or will I always need to choose three names if I want someone else to get it?

[saturations]

right
but if its something for someone else
it has to be three people

[pura]

I see... I think I get it now.

[smash cut to her trying this out next week, and it blowing up in her face somehow]

Anyway, I have another question. How come nobody has noticed that annoying thing on my tongue...?

[saturations]

[i believe in nogiku.]

have u been going around showing people ur tongue?

[that's not an answer.]

[pura]

Of course I don't! But I still talk to people. Wouldn't they have noticed something weird when I open my mouth?

[saturations]

[considers this.]

obviously not if nobodys saying anything
maybe its only visible to u because ur the one making the choices?

[pura]

... Is that how that works...?

[saturations]

maybe? its a guess

[pura]

Fair enough... I would be inclined to put it to the test, if it didn't give me away.

[saturations]

idk
ur pretty smart
so u could probably figure out a way to test it anyway

[pura]

[Oh. She looks just a little touched, being called smart...? Wowie.]

... You think it's worth trying?

[saturations]

[nogiku has left a fairly decent impression on them.]

dont see why not
just be careful about what u do
but i dont think answering a question like that is bad

[pura]

Hm... Then, I'll think of a way, to avoid rousing suspicion.

[saturations]

k
if u come up with a plan and want to tell me first
thats ok too
for whenever
