[kutte]

Spell it with a g.

[ of all the things to get picky about... ]

Little animated bullshit thing people make on computers. Cats and puppies or whatever.

[endureandsurvive]

oh like in giraffe

no im pretty sure it was a real cat not something on a computer

[kutte]

How the hell was it floating then?

[endureandsurvive]

how the fuck should i know its not like this shit is supposed to be in my head

[kutte]

You gotta find the fucker and ask him what's up with his cat.

[endureandsurvive]

[Because obviously floating cats are SUPER IMPORTANT.]

[kutte]

Holding you to that, anonymous texter.

[welcome]

[GOD, because the headaches and nosebleeds aren't ENOUGH. Cecil rubs his arm furiously as he growls into his device.]

All that pinching is you? That's hardly called for, whoever you are!

it worked didnt it

[welcome]

I'm sure you could have pursued other methods.

[SIGH. Well, what's done is done.]

Also, I might add that conducting this communication anonymously hardly facilitates a meeting! I have an incredible amount of people taking up real estate in my head right now, so I will need specifics.

[endureandsurvive]

dont care

ur from nightvale right? if yes we r linked where do u want to meet

[welcome]

Night [he takes a deliberate breath.] Vale, yes. I don't know -- the kitchen? I'm already there, anyway.

[endureandsurvive]

ok ill be right there

[Kitchens again. Whatever, that's fine; she can make a sandwich one handed while this dude holds the other one.]

Floating cats. I think I might be a tad jealous of you.

Why its just a cat


except its in the air wow ooo so cool!!

[That's sarcasm, but who knows if it's translating to text very well.]

[skindeep]

Still, it's more than mine can do. Edgar just sleeps and looks at me disdainfully. Unless he floats behind my back, which wouldn't surprise me.

[endureandsurvive]

u have a cat!!!! :) what colro is it?

[skindeep]

He's yellow. There's quite a few cats on board. Dogs too. And I saw a horse once.

[endureandsurvive]

ya i know about the horse someone else mentioned that

whats ur cats name? whered u get it?

[skindeep]

His name is Edgar. He was an alley cat outside my shop, took me weeks to win him over.

[endureandsurvive]

no i mean how did your cat end up here did it come w/u?

[skindeep]

Ah! Yes, he came with me. Along with-

[He stops abruptly, forces himself to take a breath.]

Along with someone else who's returned home now.

[endureandsurvive]

what like in their locker howd it survive the jump??

do they have cat and horse shaped pods thats pretty nice of the ship

[skindeep]

That's a very good question. He was in my locker the first time, but I've been keeping him with me every jump since.

You're welcome to meet him sometime.

[endureandsurvive]

thats nice but no thanks

[She gets that most people here aren't dangerous - that they're mostly just stupid and scared and trying to be helpful and nice. But she's seen what scared people can do and there's a reason she's using text messages on the comms.]

[skindeep]

Well if you ever come across a cranky yellow tabby roaming the halls, feel free to introduce yourself.

[endureandsurvive]

sure will do

[skindeep]

You're welcome. And I'm Noah. Just in case.

Ellie. Short for Ellen or just Ellie?

permacrap encryption

[endureandsurvive]

just ellie

[skindeep]

Well Ellie, what do you think about the Tranquility? Have you ever been in space before?

[endureandsurvive]

never been in space but the TQs pretty nice

[skindeep]

It can be. But there's also times that it isn't.

You seem like a smart girl, Ellie. And I promise I won't pry. But if you ever need anything, anything at all, you can seek me out.
