ROLE: Playtime Kitten 🙀

[saturations]

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

Now that I know Hot Pants was cured of her refraction, I would like to try her again. Well, that is... I'm acting based on the assumption that she can't be infected by it again. Am I wrong?

[rindude]

I mean...it's not really an immunity. It's just a fix. Kinda like you put a bandaid on the problem so sure, she's "cured" but not really. Anyway she kinda already got something, so I don't think she'd be able to get something from you.

[pura]

So no one will actually be safe until we stop the refractions entirely... That's troubling. [She clicks her tongue like, well, damn.] I'll come up with a new list as always, than. See what sticks... I really should have asked to compare notes with Jiuqing.

[rindude]

And stopping them entirely is still a solution that escapes us, yeah.

[so this sucks!]

I'm kinda surprised you guys didn't come up with a list...but it'll be fine.

[pura]

We got caught talking about other stuff... [The animal kingdom is a lot. She frowns, looking at her phone.] But maybe I can ask for one now.

By the way, no upgrades this time?

[rindude]

Oh, yeah. Gimme your phone.

[gib!!

when she hands it over, he futzes with it before handing it back. her gumball app now shows an icon of a kitten with a little more color added to it. this is only visible to her. if she clicks on it, she will see:

-Blend in while standing out. The more you give, the more you'll get.
-Utilize a color out of your reach once a week to create something new.
-Cast a minor elemental spell under the guise of illusion.
-Double the strength of a color out of your reach once a week to create something new.
-Take a walk on the wild side for a little extra time.

she will understand that now her special gumball will allow her the powers from previously, but she can also use her animal form for an extra one hour a week.]

Tada. [the. flattest tada.]

[pura]

[She gives! She takes! And she squints.]

Thanks. So, an extra hour... Is it consecutive?

[rindude]

What, like two hours at a time instead of one?

[pura]

Yes. Though what I really want to know is if this means I can use that form twice a week.

[rindude]

I think...you could probably do either way? So you could do two consecutive hours, or you could do two separate hours.

[pura]

[She nods, then.]

By the way, I... Well, I guess you already know this, but I found the others.

[rindude]

Yeah? How'd it go? What did you think?

[does not confirm if he already knows because i actually don't know if she meets with him first or if su jiuqing does. oh well.]

[pura]

To be honest... I was a little relieved. If it turned out there was someone uncooperative, or who I found obnoxious, I don't think it would have gone as well as it did.

Though, having additional context now... some of my theories were embarrassingly off.

[rindude]

I don't blame you. Teams are...scary, at first, until you know who you're working with. [there's a grin though.] But now you have to tell me what some of your theories were.
