MOUNT PHOENIX ROLEPLAY

[felixmp]

Nope! Felix was definitely not someone to worry about. Technically, he could be--oh sure, he definitely COULD be, the potential was there, yes, that this lucky little shit could get away with anything with so very little repercussions IF ANY...but that wasn't the type of person Felix was. Not at all! He was just a bundle of happy cat energy most of the time--which was fitting, considering this woman appeared to literally be a cat...not that he knew that (yet), he just thought she looked cool with her own sense of style (however hyper realistic it was).

"Nice to meet ya in person," he countered with a bright, dimpled grin. His hyena-like chuckle followed softly after when she mentioned the dilemma with ordering from the app. "Dude, I totally get it. One time, I thought I put in one, but I actually typed in ten, and I was, like, eating nothing but pad thai for, like, five days. Which, you know, is actually pretty impressive it lasted as long as it did."

His compliment had been--at least he thought--genuine; whether she believed his sincerity or not was left up to her, but he did mean it. No, it wasn't a typical thing to compliment but, well, in his world it kinda was. When he was welcomed in with a wave, he did pause a bit after closing the door behind him. It was his turn to tilt his head then. "Wait...what?" he echoed as he started to remove his shoes to leave them at the door (habits, not just from a love of Japanese culture, but of a mother who INSISTED his hyperactive self not track dirt through the house). "You were...legit born with cat ears..." he blinked, eyes widening a bit as he noticed the TAIL, too. "And a tail," he added with an astonished point, which he quickly lowered because, damnit Felix, pointing is rude! Right, he was on an island full of demigods and each had their own quirks--maybe hers was being born a literal cat girl. "That is so cool," he said honestly as he left his shoes near the door and followed her further inside to look over the spread.

"Hell yeah, smorgasbord, thanks~" he cooed as he made himself comfortable, looking around the very much not yet unpacked space. "Sooooo just movin' in, huh? Need some help with, like, shelves and stuff? Cuz, I mean, I'm not pro, but I did just install a buuuuunch at my arcade, so I might as well be a master at this point."

[mpxeloise]

Felix did quite make the demigoddess curious. She could not dislike his cheerful personality. Even if she had been quite sheltered and those who surrounded her never seemed to have such joy, it was pleasant, especially as it seemed genuine. For a demigoddess who valued first impressions highly, Felix seemed to be handling himself quite well, despite not knowing her scrutiny.

"Yeah.. I definitely will not be eating this for that long. But, if you like it, you can take all the food you want home." It was a fair bargain after all. Plus, she really did not want to waste the food despite being completely unwilling to eat leftovers. The feline was rather picky, and she had absolutely no true shame in acting this way. Eloise was a rather spoiled woman.

When he asked her question, Eloise then understood him. He must have thought them to be fake, a mere accessory. However, these were just her ears, and a compliment on them, that had been why it had been so odd. She wondered how rare someone like her was, especially with such a reaction and point from him. "I--.. Yes." She responded, a bit plainly. Eloise had to remember that this might be a first for him, and he had been kind enough to come help her. "And claws." She states, flashing her sharpened yet manicured nails at him. Most would believed they were shaped that way, but all she had ever needed was the paint on top. Moving to settle down with Marie, she turned her attention to him again. "Did they not look real?"

Watching him sit, she had poked opened container, and Marie, who had appeared to lay on her owners lap, scurried away at the sound. Clicking her tongue, the demigoddess moved to grab a bite. However, her brows raised at his offer. Impressed again, she was pleased she had not even needed to ask for help. "Yeah. New to the island. I do have some stuff you can hang up if you want to." She states nonchalantly. "I'm not strong enough.. And, I hit my finger earlier."

[mpinsoo]

In-Soo considered the young woman's outfit for an instant. It was cute and practical, she seemed to know what she was about to get herself into. "So, uh... We have t-shirts for the volunteer. Visitors need to identify you easily." He presented two piles of garments to Eloise, simple black of white t-shirts with a 'volunteer crew' slogan written in a fun font. "We also have aprons and boots for the more heavy work."

Once she was ready, the vet took her to the shelter itself, introducing her to their small tenants. Cats, birds, lizards and other small animals greeted her, curious about the new arrival. "I think they are quite intrigued about you. They must feel your feline part." He reached to pet one of the kittens and the little one licked his fingers. "The dogs' kennels and bigger animals' boxes are in the annex."

As they made the complete tour of the clinic, In-Soo explained the volunteers' duties. Identification, feeding, helping the visitors and future adopters... anything that could support the medical team and make their life easier. "Sundrop will later explain you his groomer job as you might need to help him too. Is that ok with you ?"

[mpxeloise]

Eloise looked over at the demigod back to the clothes he was presenting to her. She did not quite mind the shirt, though it was not her normal fashion whatsoever. However, she suspected that was what came with work. The thought only lingered for a moment before he mentioned "heavier work", and she had to stop her nose from scrunching at the perceived future effort. Maybe, the feline could push that on someone else. However, she simply nodded her head and did as he wanted of her, definitely preferring the white one.

Following Insoo, she paid close attention to the different animals that he was showing her. She had never considered how much extra effort she would have to do, other than helping kittens. Looking over at him. "Feline part?" She asked, though she caught was he was saying or meaning. "I'm good with cats, though birds typically do not like me. Dogs... Hopefully, they will be fine." It was a fifty-fifty shot. But, she was here to take care of all animals.

Patiently, the demigoddess listened to all the different responsibilities of being a volunteer. For a moment, the demigoddess was rather overwhelmed. Had she really signed herself up for all that effort? And for what? However, she pulled herself out of her thoughts. "Sure. Just assist, right? I won't have to groom them though right... I don't want to be blamed for a bad haircut."

[mpinsoo]

In-Soo was always appreciative of the volunteers' work. He truly loved to see their dedication, their care for the shelter's little tenants. And though they didn't get a salary, the vet always made sure that their work was appreciated. Snacks, nice drinks from The Fower Mill, small gifts for their birthdays or holidays, anything to show how important they were for the clinic's team. 

The vet was used to see children of Bastet or Inari around the island but he still couldn't help his eyes to widen a bit when the young woman entered the store. Her ears and tail looked cute and fluffy and he couldn't help but notice the sharp nails. His expert eyes recognized the ragdoll's features and he smiled.

The handshake was friendly but short and he invited the young woman to follow him to the clinic side of Stop&Paws. It's nice to meet you Eloise he commented before showing her where to put her belongings during the day. "We're always happy to have new volunteers ! If you don't mind, I will start by showing you around and explain your job. Is that ok for you ?"

[mpxeloise]

Eloise did not know what to think of the other. They appeared nice, and she guessed that it was all she needed from a boss? Was that what he was? The feline did not linger too long on that. This was her first act of "work" in the real world. So, the feline obliged the other's request follow them to the clinic side of Stop&Paws, letting her curiosity drive the rest. In essence, she expected that this as where she would spend most, if not all, of her time.

She nodded her head as she looked over at the area for her items. It was something to remember, which she did not worry that she would. For today, luckily, all her items fit in her two pockets of her jeans. She had not known what she was coming into, and it had been the safest option, even though she quite wanted a nice purse to pair with her outfit.

"That is fine." The demigoddess reassured him. Eloise truly had no clue what she was doing, but it would not take long for her to catch up. Taking care of animals in some form of compacity was about where all she knew, and so, Insoo would be able to spell out what she was doing. So, she patiently followed behind the other, holding her hands loosely in front of her body. "Please let me know what all I need to know."

[mpxeloise]

Story Told

Open Starter

As Eloise travelled through the park, her eyes landed on what appeared to be a sweet, elderly man urging people to come listen to the story they had to tell. The demigoddess had no plans, and his sincerity grabbed made her curious of what he was about to do. So, the feline obliged, and she waited a bit impatiently for enough of a crowd to gather for him to finally start his show.

And, once ready, the storyteller began to tell his tale. Eloise was intrigued. The use of their shadow puppets kept her engaged, and her eyes never strayed from the show. With each twist and turned, the plot flourished before the attentive woman, and once it finally ended, Eloise clapped happily, even though she wished it would have lasted longer. Turning to the audience member beside her, the feline spoke. "He's a talented storyteller."

[mpxeloise]

Moonlight Lantern

Open Starter

Eloise found the time around the lunar new year to be exciting. The feline had learned much about the festivities and culture of her home nation through her tutors and shows she watched. However, stuck in the confines of Paris, she had never had a chance to experience it for herself. In a island full of such a pantheon, she knew that that chance would come, and as it did, the demigoddess spared to expense in indulging her missed culture.

Dressed in a beautiful qixiong ruqun, the demigoddess went from stall to stall before she found her eyes landed on a stand that had the most interesting handheld lanterns. As her gaze pondered over the various animals and signals, the feline could not get her attention of a specific fish design. However, the person beside her seemed to have the same idea as they picked it up to grab.

With a frown, the demigoddess nudged them. "I'll buy you a lantern if you let me have that one."

[felixmp]

Was he a weirdo? Sure, he could be called that. But he was harmless! And he was always hungry! Honestly, though, this could very well have been dangerous for him, too--her noodles could have been a trick and he could have become her prey! But was Felix concerned about this? No. Not at all. That naturally lucky fellow had a tendency to escape and/or avoid any real danger, so he wasn't hesitant at all.

So when she DM'ed him her address, of course he went, throwing caution to the wind, armed with naught but his cellphone and a dimpled smile that could charm its way out of pretty much any situation. Dressed in one of his favorite hoodies of black, gold and red--and of course with the trademarked Felix the Cat backpack on his shoulder, he gave the appropriate door a good knock.

And the woman who opened the door...certainly looked like the woman in the picture on the SNS, but at the same time...she had a little addition. At first, he didn't see anything 'unnatural' about her appearance at all; he thought that the cat ears were just hyperrealistic clips! He'd spent enough time in Japan and been to a shit ton of anime conventions, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary to him at all. Was he Felix? "Thaaaaaaaaaat's me~" he said with a bright smile. "Eloise, I take it?" Oh, he was fast? "Yeah, I take food very seriously." It was true, too, very much so, he did love food--especially carbs. Bless.

He entered when she opened the door for him. "I like your ears, by the way. Very cute," he added with a wink, again, not knowing they were REAL. He stepped out of his sneakers, leaving them at the door because he was raised with manners. Looking around the apartment, he nodded to himself; yep, she must be new to the island, because this had all the tell-tale signs of someone just moving in.

[mpxeloise]

As the new man stood before her, she took a moment the analyze him. He had a bit of an eccentric taste in fashion, but it looked well on him. He seemed to establish his on trademark style just off this attire alone, and she couldn't knock someone for that. Felix was definitely someone who she did not seem be worried about. Eloise wondered if he could even have a nefarious thought, and so, she chose simply to welcome him into her home.

Nodding, she smiled. "Yes. Eloise." She replied rather simply. He had a lot of energy matched with an equal level of kindness. So far, she thought they might get along. And if not, at least, food would not all get wasted. "Yeah.. It was my first time using the food delivery app here. I have learned my mistake."

His compliment made her head tilt with a slight twitch of those ears. Did people normally compliment each other's ears? What a weird body part of appreciate, but she was also nonstandard. "Thanks, I guess. Just born that way..." Eloise spoke, waving him in to follow her. Turning around, her tail swished before the man, sticking out from a pre-made slit in her clothes.

The demigoddess walked over to the food. Though this time, she picked up the lazy Marie who had rolled her stomach to see who the new intruder was. Eloise believed that Felix wouldn't have stepped on them on purpose, but she also didn't trust Marie to stay still long enough to do so safely. So, the demigoddess states before the food again, having not touched anything because she had been waiting for him. "There is more than just noodles. "Char Siu, Guo kui, and some other dishes. Eat whatever you can." Or else, it would be in the trash. The demigoddess never ate leftovers.

[xianjunmp-deactivated20240314]

xianjun waited patiently for eloise to find the right time to jump down. she had carefully wrapped the struggling kitty and held it against her chest, close to her neck, so xianjun knew with absolute certainty that the tiny animal would be alright. eloise though.. xianjun just really hoped she would trust him enough to jump down with the precious cargo in her hands.

they made eye contact and the bee boy tried his utmost to convey sincerity and trust in his gaze as she looked at him. today had been the first day of them working together, so they hadn't exactly made progress in terms of trust yet but he hoped the urgency of the current situation would help the feline woman make up her mind. and when she did, xianjun braced himself.

the fall was swift but clean, and xianjun's honey rushed forward, cushioning eloise's back and half cocooning her as the semi solidified substance managed to slow down the speed of her fall somewhat. just before xianjun caught the demigoddess, the honey fell away from her form into a messy heap on the grassy grounds.

xianjun's arms wrapped around the demigoddess safely as he caught her. the wind did get knocked out of him though, and he couldn't help the soft oof from escaping his lips before he gently sucked in another breath. his knees had bent only slightly and he quickly straightened them as he held eloise and the cat close to him for a couple seconds. smiling down at the demigoddess, xianjun nodded - clearly pleased with the outcome - and then gently let eloise's legs slip down his arm until she stood back on her own two feet.

his other arm xianjun kept around eloise's shoulder until she stood stable and then it slid back though he kept his hand rested on eloise's shoulder as he gazed down at her with a kind smile. lifting his other hand he then gestured to eloise before making the 'ok' sign with his hand, as if asking if she was alright. the honey which had pooled on the grass was now started to collect itself, forming into one big blob before it rose into the air next to them. it floated there, decreasing in size until it was only as big as a pebble. the honey then turned absolutely solid - as hard as a rock - before floated to xianjun's pocked and slipping inside. xianjun would throw it away later.

[mpxeloise]

The first thing Eloise felt was the sticky honey that clung to her form and helped lessen her fall. She did not have enough time to be irritated by it, but she could not help but scrunch her nose in annoyance. The threat of sticky honey in her fur was almost as frightening as falling, but she soon felt the new weird sensation on her body as it fell off just as fast as it came onto her body.

When he caught her, her eyes widen, even though this was the intended plan. Her gaze shifted to his face, and she could tell he was doing his best to minimize his reaction having to catch her. She was truly surprised he had managed it. He was rather tall but skinny, and she did worry she may be too heavy for him to catch. But, he did so with just a bit of struggle, and that only seemed momentary. As he held her a few moments later, she saw no struggle.

Once set on her feet, she stood back up with ease. Smiling back at him, she nodded her head to indicate she was fine. Her gaze then shifted to the feline who seemed to be snuggled into the blanket just fine, missing the honey's transformation. The little feline did not seem bothered at all by the descent. At least, that was one of them. Though, Xianjun had truly garnered some appreciation from the demigoddess. Xianjun had did well in protecting them, performing his role with near ease. Eloise did note that with satisfaction.

Lost in thought for a moment, she finally turned her gaze back to him. Could he just read lips? She wondered. Might as well give it a shot. "Thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble." She admits truthfully. While Eloise had quite a snarky side, Xianjun had made an excellent first impression, and so, he was allotted the nicer side of Eloise. "Are you okay?"

[mpxeloise]

❛ there is something deeply wrong with you. ❜ Malea says before she sighs and hangs up the phone. Not a call she wanted to take in a cafe.

Eloise had been waiting in line at the cafe, half-alert as she had waited to be able to place her order. It wasn't until the conversation drew closer that the nosey feline listened. It didn't help ther her ears picked up on the softest conversations, and her curiosity allowed her to latch onto it. For what appeared to be rather juicy conversation, she had taken a step forward toward the register when it appeared to end.

Glancing over at the demigoddess, it was the call of the cashier that grabbed her attention, safely preventing her from getting herself in trouble. Without hesitation, she stepped forward to go order her food.

[mpxeloise]

Eros hears her, ❛ what is it you want this time? ❜

Eloise had learned of Minx after overhearing an excited conversation during her lunch. So, she had decided to give it a chance. Though, she was rather shocked at what happened in such a club. Eloise had heard of burlesque before, but it was a very surface-level and carefully executed explanation. So, the performances were nothing like she expected.

Having asked the god a random question earlier, maybe a bit a stupid question from what the normal clientele understood. She had felt a bit comfortable to do so again. However, before she could do so, his response annoyed the feline. Her nose crinkled at the god's comment as her eyes narrowed. "Hmmpf." She scowls. "Clearly, better company."

xianjun was worried. a small kitty, just freshly brought into the shelter, had escaped when one of the shelter employees had attempted to cuddle it. stop&paws had cuddle volunteers, of which xianjun was also one, to help with socialising the more feral animal population. human contact helped increase the chance for adoption so the volunteers took this duty very seriously, and often very happily as well. while some of the cats and dogs at the shelter weren't too pleased to be handled at first, most of them came around to it.

however, every now and then they had an escapee, like today. xianjun and a fellow volunteer on duty that day had been looking around the shelter for the black and white young cat who had managed to slip out of the building entirely. it had been thirty minutes by the time xianjun realised that the other volunteer had also disappeared and he decided to go outside to extend his search. making his way through the hallways, pushing open doors, the tall and clumsy demigod only managed to nearly fall once in his haste.

when he finally pushed the back door open and cold air hit his face, the young man's excellent eyes scanned his surroundings. he had not been able to hear the demigoddess nor the cat's cries for help and thus started searching in the wrong direction first, checking nearby bushes. it was a couple of minutes later when he rounded the building towards the main street that xianjun was finally able to see both the cat and the other volunteer.

and it was a sight indeed! xianjun blinked, looking at the demigoddess with cute feline features while she held a semi-struggling cat who appeared to be in distress as much as his colleague. finally, urgency set in, and the tall demigod marched promptly to the tree. once there, he smiled encouragingly up at the woman and held his arms out. he would catch them, he was sure he was able to do so. he may look frail but xianjun actually was quite strong, courtesy of his long career working manual labour jobs.

but just in case, xianjun psychically made the two sachets of honey in his right jean pocket burst and slowly the sticky liquid started pooling out of his pocket, increasing in size and density. long tendrils of honey started to creep up xianjun's body and hoovered all around him, ready to transform into a sticky safety net if needed. the demigod nodded at his colleague, hoping she understood his body language.

[mpxeloise]

Eloise had called a few times for the other volunteer, but he did not seem to hear her. While the branch seemed to be handling her weight just fine, though she also did not move an inch either, she did not want to spend much longer in the cold without a chance for help. Had she not had the cat, she would have been fine getting down. But the combination of both of them, she felt overwhelmed and struggled to come up with an easy route down.

Was he listening to music or something? She pondered before the thought finally clicked... Oops. A colleague had informed her about him, and she felt slightly guilty for not realizing sooner. However, the fates seemed to be on her side as the tall demigod seemed to spot them on top of the thick branch. So, she focused her attention on the cat while he made his way there.

The struggling cat seemed not realize the gravity of their situation. And carefully, the demigoddess pulled off her scarf, swiftly rolling the feisty cat into a warm little burrito before tucking it under her chin. At least, she did not have to worry about them running away or climbing up even further. If something was to happen, she hoped this could protect them.

So, when she finally made eye contact with him, she hesitated. Though she did not necessarily distrust his ability to hold up her weight, Eloise feared the possibility of error. Staring at him for a moment, her arm squeezed the cat a bit closer to her. Xianjun looked sure of himself and kind. Warranting her trust, her hand moved to hold the branch as she slowly scooted a bit forward. What other option did she have? Closing her eyes, the demigoddess finally pushed herself off of the branch, holding the cat close in her arms as she made her descent.

The cat and the clerk

starter for @mpxeloise

It had been a couple of uneventful days, with Minry dabbling between her work and daily errands and enjoying her free time with her puppy. One could say it was a peaceful life, but to the daughter of Aphrodite it was starting to become boring. She enjoyed the occasional thrill, the chaos and drama the nightlife and human connections would bring. But Minry had decided to lay low for a while, considering her recent decisions when it cames to force her presence onto a certain demigoddess.

Yet that decision was starting to bring some regret and there she was, sighing her boredom away while carefully dusting one of Böljande's front display from inside. Minry didn't mind that part of the job, allowing her to space out while admiring the beauty of the pieces made by Tsukiyomi and wondering how nicely that necklace would look with a dress Minry had bought last week. Occasionally a passerby would look at Minry or at the items nearby and she'd smile politely, almost inviting the people in as it was her job and habit to be alluring.

And yet, it was her turn to be surprised, with the sight of a couple of ears and tail, seemingly so soft and fluffy just like a very expensive plushie. Those features were attached to an equally admirable girl, quite pretty and somewhat luxurious-looking. Minry kept smiling, but didn't feel like dwelling her gaze on the other, since it seemed the girl had decided to enter the store either way.

"Welcome to Böljande, miss." Minry walked away from the displays, delicately walking towards the other demigoddess and bowing. "Feel free to browse and if you need any help, let me know. My name is Minry." She was quick to show her interest to assist, but wanting the other to feel comfortable to be on their own if that's what they wished. The young woman looked like someone who could dump a lot of money and Minry wouldn't let that opportunity escape. For the store's and her own interest.

[mpxeloise]

One of Eloise's first actions on the island was to go shopping. Before she left and sold her old madame's estate, she sold most her clothes and items along with it. There was definitely no reason to carry them forward, especially with how old the woman's taste had been. So, Eloise felt the need to revamp her closet and to find new knick knacks for her apartment. So, the feline had spent much of her time walking that day throughout the posh district.

Stumbling upon the jewelry shop, Eloise had taken a moment to look at some of the window's merchandise. Her eyes flickered between the several pieces. A rather avid fashion enthusiast, Eloise felt rather content in the quality and design of the items. So, she did not stop herself from entering the business, especially as she noticed the attentive sales associates awaiting the next customer's entry. Was this place commission based? Well, if so, it might be their lucky day.

When the demigoddess spoke, Eloise stopped in her spot. She watched the movement of the other, slowly blinking at the other. "Thank you." She responded to Minry, nodding her head. She was not rude in any sense despite not returning the bow to the other. Eloise did not linger to maintain a conversation, and she walked past her to the glass cabinets. Her eyes following the different gems and designs. There were already quite a few pieces that peaked her curiosity.

with a little help from my friends + closed

for the new lovely volunteer @mpxeloise

There was a new folder on In-Soo's desk when he arrived at Stop&Paws, with a note from Chang'e clipped to it. 'I think this will please you' was noted in her elegant writing and he smiled before getting ready and settled for this new day at the clinic. There wasn't much appointments scheduled so he would have time to catch up with his files.

As he sat down at his desk again, he took the new file and a grin appeared on his face as he read it. A volunteer would join their team that day and it brought joy and relief to his heart. With the colder months, the shelter's boxes were almost all full and they truly needed more help.

So when the young woman arrived, he went to welcome her. The cute ears on her head did remind him of Bin and it was hard to refrain from petting them. He held his hand out to her though, bowing his head a little. "Hi and welcome ! I'm In-Soo."

[mpxeloise]

Eloise had considered many different paths on her arrival to Mount Phoenix. Set up rather lavishly with a full pocket, the demigoddess had no need to work a job, and she struggled to see herself excel in one after being raised in the manner she had. So, when she had heard the local pet store had a need for volunteers, she thought she had found the right path. If anyone knew how to take care of an animal, especially a cat, it was her.

With little clue of anything but the location, the demigoddess showed up dressed rather comfortably in a thick cardigan and blue jean combo. Eloise took a few slow moments walking through the store, letting her eyes glance around the products and set up. Sniffing, the demigoddess's strong nose picked up a wide array of smells, from food to animals. It was nearly overwhelming.

As In-Soo approached her, her eyes darted to him, and the demigoddess nodded her head contently. Her hand reached out to take his, loosely shaking his hand. "Thank you." She chirped rather softly. Not lingering too long in his grasp, the demigoddess's hands moved behind her back . "I'm Eloise. Today's supposed to be my first day... As a volunteer."

Irony

@xianjunmp

Eloise and one of the other volunteers had been searching for the last thirty minutes for one of their newest felines who had escaped the enclosure. While typically on the lazier side of nature, the demigoddess could not sit around when one of her kind were out lost on the streets. From a young age, she had found herself to be a protector of cats, even if partly one herself. And, it was why she had decided to volunteer when there were several paying positions around the island.

Having finally heard a 'meow', the demigoddess spotted the cat up in the tree limbs. "Help!" She called out, but her fellow volunteer was not in her sight. So, she took it upon herself to climb up the tree, using her sharpened claws to help get her up the thick foundation of the tree. And, it would be several feet up on a thick branch that she would finally get a hold of the frightened feline. Eloise could only sigh in relief, until she realized, she had no clue on how to get down herself.

Thinking heavily, it was the delicate combination of citrus, herby, and woods that finally grabbed her attention. Eloise, for the life of her, could not remember the nice man's name. However, she did his scent. And as she held the cat in her arms, carefully perched on the tree branch, she called out to him. "Hey! Help me!"

"Free" Meal

@felixmp

Eloise had truly accidentally order a massive amount of food. Often, her accentuated claws got in the way of her typing, and it seemed that combined with her lack of attention had caused such an unnecessary problem. However, her social media post had prompted a solution rather quickly. While she knew it was not the safest measure, she was not too concerned either. She had enough of an advantage from her feline powers to get her to safety if this Felix guy turned out to be a real weirdo.

Even further, she reasoned he might could be of some use. Paintings leaned against her wall still needing to be hung, and she was far too lazy to attempt it herself. Lost in thought, the knock at her door finally pulled her attention. She popped up, and stepping over Marie who sprawled leisurely on her back, she hurried over to the door. While she had a glimpse of the male from his profile picture, she was curious to see who truly was on the other side of the door.

Opening it, the demigoddess peer up at the male. She had took no efforts to hide her "unnatural" feline appearance, from the fluffy ears on top of her head to the tail that gently swayed behind her. She was on a magical island after all. "Are you Felix?" She ask, pulling it further open so that he could step in. He did look like the man on the profile picture. "You were fast."
