Hmm—

[A single gold eye with a cat's slit pupil is peering narrowly into the feed. Single, as the other eye is covered by what very well might be pink (magenta, rather) hair covering the other. Boris holds the communicator further from him with bemusement, and it catches the impressive and enormous pink-and-magenta striped fur boa draped about him, in the crooks of his arms.

(Just imagine how long it took to get that dry again after his unfortunate arrival sopping wet. Hint: it took forever.)

Also the twitching cat ears on top of his head, bright with piercings. Eventually, he drops the hand holding back to his side and turns to a door nearby. He seems to have found the pirate ship, is now investigating the cabin... But when he opens up the door leading back onto the deck, well, the communicator might catch a glimpse of it opening onto something completely different instead, what looks like the city street. Which shouldn't be possible but hey.

Boris mumbles something,]

That's not it, either.

[It's about here that Boris shuts the door and inadvertently turns off the feed at the same time.

So, where are you today, Vatheon? Home? Work? Somewhere completely different? Either way, you might become victim to the phenomenon of having a door open up nearby (whether it be your closet, armoire, bathroom door, so on and so forth) and a strangely dressed boy with cat ears sticking his head through.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The forest, [Boris tells him distractedly, sidestepping the dog in question with a bristling tail.] While I don't mind playing in most cases, I don't really like it with dogs.

[He glances over then, with more interest.] Boris Airay. Are you an outsider?

Forest ? We have a lovely forest here in Vatheon !

[Asato goes to them and picks Cinnamon up. Here, Boris, you are free.] Forgive him, he's still little and curious. And you are quite intriguing for a puppy like him. [Those fluffy ears and tail.]

Outsider ? Do you mean if I'm a Vatheon native or if I come from another world ?

I'm looking for the forest of Clover. Trees covered in doors? This stupid mouse lives there, too.

[Boris lets his bristling fur lie flat once the dog is away from him and eyes it a bit. Not big enough to eat him, but you never knew sometimes.]

An outsider's someone without a role, but they have a face. Someone from outside of Wonderland.

[Okay, headache's coming.] We have no trees covered in doors here. And you are in Vatheon, not Wonderland. This is an underwater city.

[Don't worry, Cinnamon prefers dog treats to cats.]

Well, I know that much. I saw all the fish outside.

[Delicious, delicious fish.]

I was just in Wonderland, though. Why am I here?

Ah, good then.

[No, don't eat all the fish !]

It seems that Vatheon's god, the Coral at the plaza, brings us there. We are not sure why.

[But they're delicious. 8(]

A god? A coral?

[In disbelief.]

Yes, a god. Well, that's what the natives say anyway. [And leave the fish alone please.]

It is important that you touch it from time to time, to avoid being sick and lose your energy.

What happens if you don't touch it?

You get sick. Tiredness, headache, fever... I experienced it. It's not funny, believe me.

And this coral can just get rid of it like that?

Sounds kind of strange.

Yes, it does !

I know but it's how It works. You'll quickly get used to it.

Soon as I find the right door back, I won't have to get used to it.

Not sure it will work. Vatheon likes to keep us around.

What are we supposed to do here, anyway? Is there some game we have to play?

I am not totally sure... But you can do pretty much what you want ! Work or just stay at home... Everything here is free so, yeah.

Do what I want? [Surprise darts over his face and his head cocks. Sure, he's a cat so he does what he wants most of the time anyway but...] I'm used to roaming around, so maybe I'll just do that.

It's strange. You're sure people here aren't fighting each other?

Then you'll be happy in Vatheon ! There's a lot of nice places over here. [The ice cream shops for example.]

Well... Some can be more aggressive than others...

Like where? Anything exciting?

[A pause and Boris seems curious rather than concerned.] But people here aren't always fighting? Strange.

Welll. The forest, the beach, the City... [Everywhere he tells you.]

Really ? But why would we fight all the time ? It's useless.

... [Useless, huh? For some reason, Boris laughs.]

It's useless where I'm from too, but it's the rules. It's a pretty pointless place, Wonderland.

A pointless and very sad place if you guys are always fighting.

Sad? [He blinks at that.] Why do you say that?

Well... Isn't it sad that you fight all the time ?

Not really. [He says as easy as you please.]

It's what we're supposed to do, and at least it isn't boring. [Besides, they're all replaceable.]
