Hologram

[walkingballpit]

[ The hologram is rather funny looking, walking in place through an unseen crowd, occasionally making weird arm motions that are either steering people out of his way or a terrible interpretive dance. ]

Okay. Nobody panic. There may or may not be a cat wandering the space station. Or. You know. Crawling around in the ducts. I'm not sure if he's in them yet.

For those that aren't from Earth, a cat is a small, nonverbal ball of orange fur with four legs. This answers to Niels.

[ He stops walking momentarily, but then shrugs and resumes the pace. ]

Okay, he doesn't answer to Niels, but he'll glance at you for a good four seconds before he goes back to doing what he wants.

If you see him, please, please don't spook him. Just call me. He's not a normal housecat - trust me we do not want him freaking out in a confined space. You should see what he does to his carriers.

[ It has, at least, occurred to him that everyone from an Earth is going to think this is a joke or perhaps that he's crazy. He might as well go for broke, right? ]

Um. Better let me know if you see any. Unusual. Light shows. And don't use any high-speed bouncing blurs of orange for target practice. You'll only make him harder to catch.

[Oh no not you too.]

Cats don't really... do business. He's probably marking his territory and preening.

... anything that you see a fleshy eating is should be safe, but that's not 100% true so please stick with fish. He's survived on the fish in the marketplace this long. I'm scared that both me and Niels are gonna die eating alien food.

Marking of territory sounds like business.

[The preening probably not, but then it was likely more essential for cat deities to keep up appearances than it was for normal folk.]

Gotcha. I suppose I can start near your quarters, unless there's somewhere else he likes to make appearances?

[walkingballpit]

I... guess...

[He's never thought of it as anything but annoying, having to clean up the walls and such.]

I don't know where else he likes to go This is the first time he's gotten out.

[Not that Drift knows why cats mark their territory, and might be vaguely appalled to find out. He just figures it's like expanding the sphere of influence or something.]

Hmm, well that gives me a place to start at least. I'll let you know if I find anything!

[walkingballpit]

[Oh, it's expanding the sphere of influence, all right.]

Thanks man.

[alwaysadrift]

[He's not a 'man' but he can roll with that anyway.]

Anytime.
