video | the villa action

[darkasnight]

[Hello, Vatheon. Do you like cats? Kittens?

I hope so because there is one (1) adorable, orange kitten shoving its face into the camera. From off screen someone talks- ]

Oi, don't mess with that.

[Suddenly the little kitten is being lifted up by the scruff by another cat, a much larger and black cat. Was it the voice from earlier?

The orange kitten meows while another appears in front of the screen. From off screen again, this time a little muffled --]

Hey, I said-!

[Whoops there goes the SFC tumbling off the couch, turning the feed off.]

[Action]

[Night is sitting on the couch, in all his cat glory, with one kitten sleeping next to him and the other on the floor trying to catch Night's tail. He waves it teasingly in front of him, flicking it away just before he can grab it. Poor thing.

If you wanted the couch today, well too bad.]

[Yukio can't help but smile a little. Who doesn't enjoy watching cats on the nip. It's good harmless fun.]

Nepeta cataria. It has a variety of uses, but it's fallen out of use in the development of more commonplace pharmaceutical drugs.

[Pretty sure Night's not listening at all, but oh well.]

Feel funny... [What a new and exciting experience...!

That he is starting to really Not Like. His vision is already doubling and the floor feels like jello under his paws.

Slowly he tries to walk forward to where he thinks Yukio is, but instead hits the coffee table on accident.] Y... Yukio...

[Oh dear, this doesn't seem quite right.

Yukio gets out of his chair and takes a knee, reaching out to try and steady Night with one hand.]

Are you okay?

[darkasnight]

Mfguh... [If he was honest with himself he'd admit this was actually a little scary. Being so vulnerable like this wasn't a fun feeling; if anything it just made his poor heart beat faster.

Yukio's voice is an echo in his head, his image distorting and colors mixing together so he just concentrates on staring at the floor. If it weren't for Yukio's steadying hand he'd be swaying on his paws.

He looks completely fucking stoned and frightened to hell and back because of it.]

Re: action

[This all went downhill very, very quickly. So much for harmless fun. Yukio moves closer, sweeping the catnip on the floor away with his free hand before reaching out again, intending to draw Night into his lap. He takes note of the pair of scars running down those furry shoulder blades, but they're not really important at the moment.

He frowns down at Night, obviously concerned.]

Night-san, it's alright. You're going to be fine.

action

[darkasnight]

[His paws start flexing when Yukio picks him up, heart hammering in his chest. Yukio's words of comfort do little to ease his stoned panic, but they register a little in his head.

When he tries to talk a small line of drool falls from his mouth.] Please...

Re: action

[doctor_dragoon]

[Gonna try and settle Night in his lap, both hands holding him steady.]

Try to calm down. The feeling will pass, I promise.

[Crap, this is not at all what he intended, and there's not much to be done but to stay with Night until he comes down.]

action

[darkasnight]

[Out of nowhere he starts purring heavily, tiny spit bubbles foaming at his mouth.

At least the colors are starting to normalize for him finally.]

Re: action

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio just stays on the floor with him, petting lightly and continuing to speak reassurances.]

Nothing's going to hurt you.

action

[darkasnight]

[It takes another ten minutes before things start to feel less nerve-wracking to Night. The purring doesn't stop, though.]

Think I... wanna go to my room... for a bit...

Re: action

[doctor_dragoon]

[As Night finally starts to calm down, Yukio's concern is quickly replaced by guilt. Kuro had always been fine with catnip, so it hadn't even occurred to him that Night would react any differently.]

... Is it okay if I carry you there?

action

[darkasnight]

[Night and Kuro are part of different classes of demons, unfortunately. Side effects may vary.

Still a pretty limp kitty, he doesn't have much energy to argue.] Yeah... Could you watch th' kittens for me, too...?

Re: action

[doctor_dragoon]

Of course.

[Off to Night's room they go, Yukio cradling him carefully. No dropping high kitty.]

action

[darkasnight]

[Good. He's still pretty woozy and any walking of his own would probably include a lot of falling over his own feet. If he blinks too fast things start spinning again too.

Purr purr.]
