video; meow meeeeowwwww HISSSSS

[Ok. So like. Everything's... furry.

There's a loud clatter as his SFC topples to the ground and gets kicked around couple of times until video finally pops up. What you'll see is first a large paw followed shortly by two very vibrant green eyes, under them distinct black markings on a feline face. But this isn't your run of the mill house cat. Oh, dear, no.

This is a cheetah. And it's currently making odd chirping noises at the screen, frantic, then followed by curious purrs and mews as the giant cat steps back to show its complete body.

Why this cat's in Axel's room is any guess... or is it?

There's more chirping and tail flicking, claws digging into the ground and fur bristling in annoyance. Ok. No opposable thumbs and no voice. This could pose a problem.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Roxas is trying to figure out what to do about his new feline characteristics when he hears that commotion from the next room. That... sounds like some kind of animal. Did Axel get hit by whatever this is, too?

He ventures out of his room, his coat managing to hide his new tail, but his cat ears are already making the hood slip back a bit. Cautiously he opens the door to Axel's room to poke his head in.

That sure is a big cat.]

......Axel...?

[When Roxas shows up, he'll see Axel pacing around on his floor, practically trying to make a track between one side of the room to the next, but when he hears his voice the cheetah stops and glances up, eyes widened and ears perked.

Are those... kitty ears on your head. Dude, why do you have it easy? His expression falls instantly and with a gruff huffing sound he shakes his head. Not cool. Not cool at all.]

[Despite that head-shake, Roxas is going to take his initial reaction to his name being called as a yes. Plus... those still look like Axel's eyes.]

Wow... So you got- totally turned into a cat.

[Axel turns around, tail swishing behind him, and then walks up to Roxas. From there he pushes up to try and place his front paws on Roxas' shoulders so he can meet him eye to eye. Big cat is big.

You might be able to see this is the way he stares at you, kid.

Seriously. Why do you get ears and I get the whole package

He chirps and glares, claws unintentionally tugging at Roxas' clothes, before standing on his hind legs proves too tough and he has to drop back down with an annoyed growl.]

[Roxas stumbles back at Axel jumping up on him, but doesn't try to get out of it. He'll just... stand there for a few moments staring back at the giant cat. This would be intimidating if it wasn't Axel.]

Uh...

[Once Axel drops back down, he adjusts his coat.]

It's- not like it's my fault, you know.

[And now cue big, sad eyes.

Axel growls again though this time it's more dejected a sound than anything. Shortly after, he returns to pacing and mewing as if talking to himself.

Stop him before he really does leave tracks in the carpet.]

[Roxas's ears twitch at that, and he has the strange urge to nuzzle Axel, but luckily that's not so easy with him not sitting still.]

...you wanna get out of here?

[The room seems kind of small for him.]

[Axel turns and nods at that. Yes. He needs to get out for some reason. Being trapped in this cramped little space is kind of unsettling.]

[Roxas pushes Axel's door open wider and steps aside so he can come on out.]

At least one of us still has thumbs, huh?

[Axel walks up closer to butt his head against Roxas' side for that comment. But he does nudge him after as a thanks and walks on and out into a more open area.]

[Roxas reaches down to pet Axel's head as he passes by, and then follows him out into the living area. His gait is, well, a little bit awkward. He's not used to the tail.]

You hungry? I'm not sure what we've got besides sandwich meat...

[Which doesn't sound very satisfying right now, but he doesn't think cats eat cereal or toast or anything.]

[There might be a little purr from that pat on the head. And then at the mentioning of sandwich meat... he's oddly all right with it. Axel turns and tilts his head at his best friend and chirps louder, tail flicking and swishing behind him in interest.

And if that doesn't get his message across, then he nods for good measure.]

Okay. Sandwich meat it is.

[Incidentally, he never knew some cats sounded like birds. But he'll keep that to himself for now since Axel seems annoyed enough about being a cat. Being told he doesn't even sound like a proper cat probably won't help.

Roxas goes to the fridge, pulling open the door, his own tail swishing suspiciously beneath the coat as he shifts through some of the food to retrieve the meat.]

[Cheetahs don't meow, Roxas. They chirp! And he's doing a lot of that now, chittering and chattering all the way to the kitchen.

Axel stops by the fridge and waits while Roxas goes through their food but when he spots Roxas' tail swishing he becomes... oddly transfixed and reaches out to bat at it a couple of times.]

[He's just grabbed the meat when he feels that batting and quickly turns around, moving away and letting the fridge door shut.]

H-hey. Cut that out.

[Axel bats at him again before Roxas turns around and makes him stop. He'll just give you an innocent tilt of his head... before he seems to smirk and chitter as if laughing.

And now when he sees that food he'll jump a little bit and paw at Roxas with meows and playful growls. Food food food]

[This is your replacement for messing up his hair right now, isn't it?]

I gotta get it open first, jeez. You must really be hungry.

[He opens the bag and, hm, grabs a plate to dump it on. ...saving a few slices for himself before he sets the plate on the floor.]

[Yes it is.

Axel settles down while Roxas places the meat down on a plate and then sets it on the floor. Well, this is weird. But it's really the only way he can eat anything as a cat so after licking his fangs he noms away. And as he's chomping on down he's making some odd "nomnomnom" noises.

It's true what they say about cats.]

[It feels pretty odd to Roxas, too, but at least Axel isn't hunting rabbits or something.

Roxas leans back against the counter, nomming down his own few slices of meat. He licks his fingers once he's done, which would be normal enough except for how thorough he's being about it, rubbing his hand over his mouth and going back to licking--

...okay, no, stop. The sink is right there. He'll just wash his hands.]

[Axel chomps more of the meat down and once he's done he yawns and pretty much does the same thing Roxas is doing. Paw raised, he sits back and licks his claws before rubbing his face, even parts that didn't even touch the food.

It's a little while later he pauses, realizing what he's doing, and looks up to see Roxas doing the same thing.

... Oh dear. He tilts his head and grins again.]

...I bet that looks weirder when I do it.

[See, Axel, he didn't exactly get off scott-free here.]

[Axel shakes his head and after giving his paw another lick he stands up on all fours to pad over... and push up to try and put a paw on top of your head.

Hair ruffling is harder this way, but he's trying!]

W-woah--

[It's a good thing he was already against the counter or that could have put him off-balance enough to topple them over. Axel, no. He'd rather you stuck with tail-batting for now.]

Hey, watch the ears.

[Axel growls playfully and after swatting at Roxas head one more time he slips down onto the ground to triumphantly walk off, head held high.
Oh, he kind of likes this.]

[Strongly tempted to pounce on his friend while his back's turned. Walking off like that as if he's won...

Screw it, Roxas is pouncing you.]
