the rock, somehow, yelped just as loudly.

[𝑺𝑨𝑴. @variismodis]

⠀ kicking a rock.
— like an idiot. owowowowow.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

as if she's ever not! one moment...

...cue her having a brief but riveting — no, ribbiting — conversation with the frog.

[# 𝒙𝒊𝒊𝒊 . @iristempore]

if she's very, 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 careful . .

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

:o

...can she hold the frog?

[# 𝒙𝒊𝒊𝒊 . @iristempore]

⠀ she's got a frog.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

it sounds cool! like a knight
about to go jousting. oh, have
we had the jousting yet? i do
love me some jousting. once
won a gold medal in it, at the
space olympics, 3124. that
was venusian hoverjoust—

sorry, anyways, yeah. lance.

[❝ ��� 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

not a horrendous idea. but i
fail to see why i'd call it a 'lance'

either way. hm . . .

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

oh, yeah, i remember.
yeah. i was there. we're
that far along already?

maybe try making some
sort of sonic laser pointer
to distract the cats. call it
a lance or so, make it less
obviously a cat toy. hmm?

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

( chuckling. )

well, as it happens i
don't have a sonic screwdriver
at the present time. it sort
of . . . was blown up.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

well, if it gets too annoying,
they hate the sonic. trust me.
been there done that. as a cat,
that is. interesting experience.
can recommend it for a change,
if you're tired of looking hoo-mon.

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

— 𝒂𝒉.

i haven't a clue.ᐟ they just
won't 'shoo' easily . . .
it's unnerving, really.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

just know that your future
adopted communist daughter
is extremely bisexual. you'll
be too hyperfixated on chess
to notice this when it happens,
but she needs the support, so.

...really, though, why did the cats
swarm you, doc? not smelling any
catnip or treats on ya...

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

. . . honestly, you're really quite
bad about keeping spoilers
to yourself. vague as they are.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

oh, you'll find out what i meant
in about... oh, well, i'm really
not at liberty to say. in the
meanwhile... arms out, huh?

funny you should mention that, though...

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

i was 𝒔warmed, it seems.
. . . it could be worse, and
please — 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 do not
compare this to one of your
late nights, ash.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

oh, pipe down, you. what even happened with you? good grief.

reminds me of that time with be— no, sorry, spoilers...

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

( rolling his eyes? yes.
but doing as he's told? 𝒚𝒆𝒔. )

there was no denial in
my previous statements.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

oh, don't say you didn't miss me, blondie.

now hold still. you're gonna get su— vacuumed. and don't giggle.

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

𝒂-and this . . . is precisely
why i let my future selves
handle you, typically —

hmpft.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

geez, man gets some pussy first time this regeneration, still finds something to complain about.

alright, she's on her way, vacuum in tow.

[❝ 𝑰 𝑬𝑨𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑬𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀. ❞ @supremoaureum]

⠀ he's 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 in
cat hair . . . help him.

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

“ oh, is my new perfume that noticeable? aww, you're a flirt. ” a giggle, sitting down before the other.

“ so what? he'll be back. and if he won't, so what? you've got me. you've got others. c'mon, give us a smile. ”

[𝐼𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐒. @CRYSTALLINESHIP]

" — i'd say you should knock, but honestly, i knew already you were about, so . . . " she trailed off, chuckling a little as she looked over.

" he's off 𝒂gain. been gone for ages, the usual. "

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

“ oi, oi, cheer up ya grumpy bastard, eh? ”

appearing from... somewhere behind the other. “ what's got you all frowning then? ”

[𝐼���𝐑𝐈𝐒. @CRYSTALLINESHIP]

⠀ sighs ...

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

seductive sunday? seductive sunday.

enjoy~

[𝘼𝙨𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮. @ShiftingGinger]

@GuideToShades ash was waiting outside, a flatteringly cut suit framing her body.

“ oh, you look stunning... ” giggling, she offered her a hand.
