Hello Tranquility,

My friend left recently, so I'm afraid that her cat is in need of new companionship. He and I are all right but I'm hoping that someone might do better. He's quite self-sufficient mind you, we just don't get on quite like that. He's brilliant. Honestly, he's solved huge criminal intrigues before regular people have.

If you're able to adopt him, I'd like to check in every now and again for awhile. Cheers,



Harry.

[THat is the ugliest cat Leia's ever seen, but that's not going to stop her.]

I'm sorry to hear that your friend has left, Harry. If you don't mind a stranger taking him, I would be delighted to keep him until your friend returns. If she does.

[bespectacle]

Thanks. I'm sorry too. And I appreciate your interest.

I don't think we've spoken before. Who am I speaking to?

text;

[borntorebel]

Forgive me. It was rude of me not to introduce myself. My name is Leia Organa. I've been aboard the ship for the last seven jumps and have seen quite a few people go. It's usually hardest on the pets left behind.

[bespectacle]

It's very nice to meet you!

Do you have other pets? One of Crookshanks' more unusual characteristics is he's actually pretty tolerant of dogs, as long as they're nice. Though it helps if they're also secretly people.

sorry about hermione
shes brilliant

[She is and not she was. It seems an important distinction. There's a pause, which is really Sirius not intending to send any follow-up text except

er]




whats happened to that cats face

[borntorebel]

No, currently, I am petless.

[Han and Chewbacca aren't on board.]

Secretly people? That's a first.

[klutziness]

not a cat person?

[testis]

I need him. I've been looking into getting a cat, and I'm used to taking care of a lot of them at home.

Hell, my name is Cat.

He and I have a lot in common, in more than just name.

[ oh my god

!!! ]

Hello! I would love to adopt him, if he hasn't yet found an owner!

[bespectacle]

It's not exactly common in the world I came from either, but I ran into them quite a lot anyway. It was a bit odd. I'd say-- if you notice Crookshanks taking a particular interest in someone, you might want to do the same.

It seems like he's getting a bit more interest, but I'll get back to you soon as I can.

[bespectacle]

I think it's a sought after breed characteristic actually. I mean his face

Thanks. I mean, about Hermione.

[He hesitates. Decides to add, in a second text--]

you should be nice about Crookshanks. You two have got a potential for real friendship

[bespectacle]

Not particularly. I'm more of a bird man you might say

[The movie isn't out where he's from, don't even !!]

You?

text;

[bespectacle]

Ah, all right, I'm absolutely taking down your name. It's a good one. your experience speaks pretty well.

Are there actually other cats on this ship?

text; 1/2

[bespectacle]

Oh lovely. I've actually got a couple other takers but Ill make up my mind really soon.

[...somehow. Goodness but she's cute, isn't she?]

What your name?

video; 2/2

[bespectacle]

I mean hello, [in the viewfinder, Harry tremors into view.] Hi, I'm Harry.

I'm the cat bloke, [he adds.] And you're--?

video;

[songburdened]

Elizabeth. And hello, Harry. [ c: ]

I don't mean the, um... the text. I'm just not very good at it. And I really wanted to say-- well, about the cat.

[ Then, quickly: ]

Of course, I'm happy just so long as he has a good home.

[klutziness]

[heh it wasn't out where she's from either]

cats are ok
i'm more of a kinkajou girl

[doggedly]

course

[That's for Hermione, anyways, and he really does mean it. It would be difficult to be as dismissive and sincere over cats with squashed in faces, and accepting that this is something sought after is

well]

i do like cats you know
i wasnt saying that disparagingly really its just

can he breathe all right

[And, actually, after another slight pause--]

friendship?

[bespectacle]

He can breathe really well, honestly. did more running around than any other cat I saw at Hogwarts. he dodged the W.W. Really exceptional.

I wasnt exaggerating. you two got to be very fond of each other. He stopped someone from killing you at one point. did you always have a good track record with cats?

[bespectacle]

You're really kind, [Harry replies, which is pretty smooth, compared to when he was sixteen-years-old. If that's not setting the bar precisely high, it's certainly an improvement. His eyes are crescent-shaped behind his little glasses lenses.] It's a pleasure.

Have you got much previous experience with cats? [Off-screen, there's a caterwaul.]

[borntorebel]

I will keep that in mind. I've met a few very smart non-humans in my own universe.

And, yes, please let me know, even if you find a home for Crookshanks with someone else.

[songburdened]

I don't think it should be kindness to want to see others happy! Even if they're animals.

[ abpffft that is just common sense!! ]

Well... no, not really. I never really had pets. [ Except for the giant mechanical bird that was her jailer. And he was no pet. ] But I learn very quickly and I do know a lot about cats, and I'll be very dutiful.

[testis]

Thanks.

Yeah- did you miss the cat party Death hosted?

[doggedly]

how does a cat stop someone from killing someone



& contrary to most beliefs cats & i get on rather well
msotly
some of them i still seem to make nervous dunno why

["I" = "Padfoot" which might explain the why]

private.

[darkart]

You're giving away a witch's familiar to muggles?
