☆ When The Day's Hustle And Bustle Is Done

[guerriera]

Who: Lela the Frootz Cat and YOU! (...with eventual cameos by Agent Carolina and Dax the Hebby Repp)
When: Night Time, Week 14
Where: The Hotel, 2nd District
Summary: Recently created and highly curious, a rare Frootz Cat spirit takes it upon herself to go say hello to her Person's neighbouts.

---

Her Person had only said not to leave the building while she and Dax rested. That was fine by the Frootz Cat, barely a day old and already eager to learn more about this place.

The Hotel was interesting enough on its own that Lela was sure she could find something to do, to see. People to meet! People that her Person didn't seem inclined to talk to here much, which was quite a shame - and something that would have to change if the Frootz Cat had any say in the matter.

Carolina also did not seem to sleep much if at all, and Lela was quite certain that if she wasn't in the room when she returned, her Person would surely be up on the roof.

Until then, there seemed to be a constant shuffle of figures on various floors, and so. Many. Doors! Really, the pink feline spirit thought it was all quite exciting. With a flick of her tail stalk, Lela went to see if she could find any means of squeezing her way through open windows or doors. It was time to go say hello!

The lobby had been one of the locations with an Exit. A door that Lela was not allowed to go through. However, she'd been by to say hello to the Moogle that worked this shift in the Hotel's office, and now the bright pink feline was working her way round to head up to the roof. She couldn't go outside by herself into the district proper, but she could watch the world below - though it was far less interesting than when she was with her Person.

To find a Person (not /her/ Person) sitting in the hall was a bit of a surprise though. Stepping forwards, cherry tail bobbed once, twice, as she moved closer, ducking her head slightly to try and get a good look at Liz' face.

Mrew~?

[punsofiron]

Liz looked up at the meow next to her, looking at the sweet smelling cat staring at her. She blinked a moment, reaching a hand out to it.

"Well, hello there. Where'd you come from?"

[guerriera]

The hand was invitation enough, cream muzzle bumping against it gently, before Lela padded closer and sat next to her.

There was a second Mewl. Person, you look sad. Why are you sad?

[punsofiron]

Liz smiled as the kitty settled next to her, gladly turning her hand to pet its head. Sure was an affectionate thing. Nicko could learn a thing or two.

"I don't suppose you have any idea what's going on."

[guerriera]

The frootz cat's purring began with very little further prompting, happy to enjoy the attention. The question earned the tilt of her head, but Lela had no answer. At least, not one Liz could hear. Another poor Person, unable to sleep. That seemed to happen a lot today.

[punsofiron]

And as a bonus, purring has a nice soothing effect on the human body. Liz just goes into a trance for a while, petting the fruity kitty contently.

"At least you don't seem to be bothered by everything going on. ...Well, I guess Dream Eaters wouldn't get nightmares anyway."

[guerriera]

Nope, no bad dreams for dream eaters. Except the Nightmares. And Lela hadn't actually fought any of those yet. But she didn't seem too unhappy. Poor Liz certainly did, and after a little bit, the Frootz Cat turned, nudged the girl's arm, then attempted to climb on her lap. All the better for hugs, and Liz looked like she needed it.

[punsofiron]

Liz looked down at the cat as it nudged her, and gladly helped her up into her lap. Liz definitely needed hugs, and unfortunately the best hugger she knew wasn't here.

[guerriera]

Lela was happy to curl up there, purring away. So far, she'd found Persons seemed to appreciate the warmth and the humming thrum, especially when they were so tired. She did look about from time to time, however - where was this person's spirit? It was very odd for them to be AWOL.

(Lela wasn't AWOL, she knew exactly where her person was. Probably.)

time to summon the person?

[punsofiron]

The purring was unbelievably soothing. It almost made her feel like she was at home with her family's cat. Only with more smell of fruit. Liz closed her eyes awhile, lightly stroking the frootz cat's head, even starting to doze off a little.

"Who belongs to you, anyway?" she asked after a long time, half-asleep.

[guerriera]

This was a comfortable hug, and Lela leaned back against the human as her purr was maintained. It seemed to sooth people and make them happy, and that was A Good Thing.

Carolina! she mewfed in response to the sleepy question - and towards the redhaired woman in a formfitted black basesuit who had just turned into the hallway, a bottle of something held in one hand. The underarmor was thick enough to work well on its own, a second skin she was well used to. The purring sped up, but the six limbed cat did not attempt to climb free. Not while Liz was still comfortable.

[punsofiron]

Liz blinked her eyes open and looked in the direction of the woman coming her way.

"Ah, hello. Speak of the devil." She assumed the rapid purring was in response to this new person, thus assuming this was the cat's Person.

[guerriera]

It wasn't necessarily the friendliest look, but Liz did get a nod in greeting once Carolina noticed she was being looked at.

There was a pleased purr from the ball of pink fluff on Liz's lap, but Lela declined to move for now. As the redhead approached, her brow furrowed. "Wouldn't you be more comfortable in one of the rooms?" Unless the hotel's all booked out now, but that didn't appear to be the case.

[punsofiron]

"I couldn't sleep," Liz said simply.

"I came out here to think, and then this pretty lady found me." She indicated Lela with a gentle scritch under the chin.
