                “Oh fuck no, it was a shitshow honestly. Like a VMA’s circa two-thousand-fifteen kind of shitshow we’re talking about here,” He replied, a grin pulling onto his lips as a laugh threatened his composure, “It should win a Razzie or something,” The male listened to her giggle, a light laugh parting her own lips, and that gave him a boost, egotistically and mentally. Most pretty girls tended to avoid him like the plague, not stick around and offer a laugh or two. Cameron smiled, “I wouldn’t underestimate your cat like that. She has nine lives. There’s really no telling what she’s fully capable of, you know? Probably mind-control or time travel, or some wild shit,” The male jested, raising a hand to scratch at the back of his head, “Why would I?” He asked, “Have you taken a good look at me? Does it really look like I have any actual priorities? Spoiler alert: I don’t, and I would honestly love to spend my afternoon helping a girl find her pussy,” Another jest, vulgar, per usual with what came out of his mouth, but just as quick as he’d said it he was already moving on, “–– Onward, to Rita.”

“Isn’t that what would make it interesting, though?” She questioned, a smile tugging at her lips. “A razzie?” The girl inquired, unfamiliar with the joke, which she figured probably killed its chance at being funny. The boy seemed to exude confidence anyways, so she hoped not getting one joke wouldn’t tear him down completely. “Oh no, I could never underestimate her. She has definitely proven she’s a force to be reckoned with, although she has showed no signs of being able to do either of those things.” Cleo let out another small giggle, a little less nervous this time. “Well, since you’ve clearly got nothing better to do, we’d better get looking.” She smirked at his joke. Her sense of humor was always something others would never expect from her, finding the most inappropriate jokes amusing.

Mattin noticed the glances; he’d seen it enough around the community to know when he was being studied. It didn’t bother him anymore unlike the first day he started work. “Rita -” He started, bending over to pick up a rag he dropped to the ground earlier. He wiped his hands with it as he continued, “Is a bit adventurous…” He eyed the woman. “No worries, we’ll find her,” he turned, scanning the work he was leaving. Almost done, he thought to himself. Better look for the kitten before it ends up in one of the traps he set around the community. He’d have to talk to someone about these methods of catching cretins because one day, they’d end up getting rid one of the residents’ pets… 

“Hey, it’s cool. It’s probably just eating at your neighbors or somethin’,” he reassured her, seeing how her arms held herself. “Come on, let’s check,” head nodded, coaxing her to walk with him. 

Cleo let out a soft laugh and nodded. “Rita is definitely very adventurous, you’re right there.” She couldn’t help but feel as if there was something he knew that he wasn’t telling her, but she thought it best not to ask. After all, the people here were bound to know more than her about anything in the community. She was new and ignorant to what normally happened here, but she had her mind set on figuring it out as quickly as possible.

“Yeah, you’re probably right,” she agreed, beginning to follow the unfamiliar boy. After taking a few steps beside him, she looked over and up at the taller boy. “I’m Cleo, by the way.”

“Not at all.” He says with a swift shake of his head, offering the girl a polite smile, “I’m good with faces and haven’t seen yours around before. Which house is theirs?” The gears in his head are silently moving, wanting to know who her grandparents are and if they hold any ties that would benefit him at all.

Cleo untucked one of the arms she’d had wrapped around her waist to point down the road behind her. “Just down four houses to the left. The big white one with blue shudders.” She nodded. “The Calypsos if that rings a bell at all. I’m not sure how involved they are around here.”

“ CHILL. I’m only kidding. I’m positive if it wasn’t a pothole it was a baby squirrel. Don’t you got one of those pet trackers inserted in her? Hop in. You see that house three doors down, that’s where I’m going. I’ll help you look until I pull into the driveway and if we don’t find it by then, then well… guess you’re shit out of luck with a search party of two. ”

“No, we never put a tracker in her, they always seemed kind of inhumane.” She pondered whether or not she should get in the car with the strange boy for a moment, but eventually found herself climbing in to avoid more awkward conversation. “Well alright, I guess that’s a little help. Thanks, I think.”

Theresa pondered her question for a beat, a crease between her brows, recalling to mind the cat she had passed by on her way home from the fresh market. Instinctively, she wanted to say no, because this was the girl’s business and she wanted nothing to do with it. “No. Maybe. I don’t know, there are a lot of cats around here – I don’t make an inventory of them. Maybe she was stolen, did you ever think about that?”

Cleo nodded understandingly at the girl. “Yes, I understand that. I do suppose not many people pay much attention to that.” She shrugged a slight smile on her face. “Stolen?” Her smile faded. “I didn’t think this was really that type of neighborhood. What good would she be to someone around here?”

“Maybe if you kept the fucking rodent on a leash, you wouldn’t have that issue - God, pet owners are so irresponsible these days.” She chided, it was all bullshit that spewed from her lips, scuttling out one syllable after the other, “say I did see it though - is there some kind of reward involved?”

“Oh, well, Rita’s not really a rodent...” Cleo answered quietly, ducking her head. She avoided looking back up at the other girl and shook her head. “Well not really, I was just hoping someone may have seen her. I didn’t really think a reward offered would be necessary.”

You have a crush on someone you've just met

“I don’t know if I’d say true or false for this one. I don’t know that any of them have quite sparked my interest, but that’s not to say that no one would have potential.”

[cleocalypso-blog]

you've never been in love

“False. I’ve been in love with very many things, just never a person.”

[cleocalypso-blog]

you'd rather spend your summer elsewhere

“I suppose true. This really wasn’t my first option for the summer.”

[cleocalypso-blog]

You're a virgin

“True.”

[cleocalypso-blog]

Your cat is your life

“Definitely false. Rita isn’t technically mine, she was my sister’s.”

[cleocalypso-blog]

You're definitely VN's crazy cat lady

“I don’t really think I’d say crazy, so false. To be honest, I’m not actually much of a cat person either, contrary to what it may seem.”

[askboxmemes]

“I don’t blame her, I mean I think my own cat isn’t a fan of me,” he grinned, only half-joking. “’You new?” he asked, but the question got lost in a corner of his mind as he noticed her demeanour. “Listen,” he spoke, his tone suddenly soft and reassuring, one he usually reserved for Mathilde— the way Cleo crossed her arms reminded him of his little sister a bit more than he wanted to admit. “My shift ends in twenty minutes,” his eyes shifted at the clock on the opposite wall to make sure of it. “Do you want an extra pair of eyes to look for her? You can go ahead and I’ll catch up with you, or you can always wait here if you’d like. How does that sound?”

“It always seems that way, doesn’t in? They really are quite the pet, never seem to like us much,” she joked back, giving a timid smile and laugh. Her eyebrows furrowed at his suddenly soft tone, but she found a sort of comfort in it, that she was sure he had meant to do. She nodded slightly at him. “Um, if you don’t mind, yeah, I guess so. Some extra help would be nice. And I don’t mind waiting, maybe with a little time she’ll start to wander back.” Her shoulders raised in a shrug. Eyes finally glancing up to meet his again, she spoke, “I’m Cleo, by the way.”

scphiia:

“Oh no, she’s missing?” Concern– genuine concern– was evident on the raven-haired girl’s features, already racking her brain to recall whether or not she’d seen the little feline. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember seeing the cat, or any cat for that matter, when she took Simon for a little walk a few hours ago. “I haven’t seen her, no. You know I would pick her up and bring her back to you if I did. But we can start looking for her. We’ll find her, Cleo.” Sophia offered an encouraging smile, placing a hand on the other girl’s arm in a comforting manner. “Where did you see her last?”

Cleo nodded. “She ran off again. I think one of my grandparents must have left her out on accident or something, I’m not sure. She was there when I left for work this morning.” She shook her head. “I know you would, you’re probably the only other person she’d come to around here. She doesn’t know anyone else yet. Thanks Soph,” Cleo nodded, an appreciative smile on her face. “Just at the house. I’m not sure when she got out.”

Scotty was just getting off work himself, a soft sigh escaping. “I’ve got some time if you want help looking,” he offered, scratching at the side of his neck. “I don’t touch cats though, as a rule.”

A small smile appeared on Cleo’s lips. “Really? I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed if you wouldn’t mind.” She gave a slight nod, nervous at the help of a stranger, but he seemed friendly enough. “Oh, that’s alright. I’m not sure she’d let you anyways. I’ll grab her up if we spot her.”
