Meow :3

@orangecat-soul

[* Poe goes on the alert. He glances around—left, right, left—to check if no one is watching him. He then kneels down to Skip's level, before...]

* Meow.

[* The meow is... uncannily similar to an actual cat's meow.]

[orangecat-soul]

Meow~!

*It meows back happily, nuzzling up against Poe’s knees*

Hey, Mr. Gaster, sir.

I don’t know if you knew, but do you remember in the first batch of vessels when you made a squirrel vessel and a cat vessel? Their names were Hop and Skip.

Well, a few weeks ago, Hop was killed. By Skip.

I believe Hop’s soul has returned to the void.

Will you do anything about this? At the very least, give Skip a stern talking to?

I SEE... I SEE.

SIGH. I SUPPOSE ANIMALS WOULD EVENTUALLY DO THIS.

Gaster breathes for a moment, before willing something to his side.

HELLO, DEAREST SOUL. YOU GO BY HOP NOW, CORRECT? HOW INTERESTING.

DO YOU MIND EXPLAINING WHAT LEAD TO YOUR BODY'S DEMISE TO ME?

[hop-the-squirrel-soul]

*Sniffling, sobbing*

Y-yes, Hop…

W-well… I- I was in the woods…

A-and I was eating a nut…

And something c-came up from behind and then-

And then I woke up here again…

[researcherwdg]

I SEE, I SEE...

Gaster thinks...

In a flash, the soul inhabiting the orange cat has been YANKED into the void- and only the SOUL. The vessel seems to be gone.

YOU. YOU ARE SKIP, CORRECT? ALLOW ME TO ASK YOU, THEN. WHAT OCCURRED THAT NIGHT?

[orangecat-soul]

Ah-

Where- where am I-

Oh, Gaster! It’s good to see you!

Just- just didn’t expect that…

Sorry, uh, yes, I am Skip. What night are you talking about?

[researcherwdg]

Gaster touches his fingers to the Kindness Soul for a moment... As if drawing something out...

...MAY 1ST, 2026. IF YOU DO NOT RECALL, I BELIEVE YOU ENCOUNTERED A SQUIRREL.

[orangecat-soul]

Yeah, I think I remember that…

It was dark out and I was pretty hungry…

I needed something to eat.

[researcherwdg]

I SEE. I BELIEVE I HAVE PIECED EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

YOU SIMPLY FOLLOWED YOUR NATURE. AND IN DOING SO, HAPPENED TO KILL THE BODY OF A FELLOW VESSEL. I AM SURE THAT IF YOU HAD KNOWN, YOU WOULD NOT OF.

BUT EVEN SO.

Skip's soul is bound by intense chains. The Gaster Blaster hanging above... it seems far more dangerous than anything ever seen from Gaster before.

THE INTENDED PUNISHMENT FOR STRIKING ANOTHER VESSEL DOWN IS RENDERING YOUR SOUL FORFEIT.

BUT. I AM WILLING TO OVERLOOK THIS. IF...

Gaster points to Hop's soul.

YOU. WHAT DO YOU WISH? DO YOU WISH FOR THE ONE WHO SLAYED YOU TO FACE A SIMILAR FATE? OR DO YOU WISH TO ALLOW THEM A SECOND CHANCE? THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE.

[hop-the-squirrel-soul]

I-

N-no, I don’t. I just want them to say sorry…

And- and maybe get my body back, if possible. I-if that’s not possible though, I understand.

[researcherwdg]

VERY WELL.

The chains are undone instantaneously.

IF YOU TWO MAKE AMENDS, I WILL SEND YOU BOTH BACK TO YOUR USUAL AFFAIRS. SKIP?

[orangecat-soul]

I’m sorry…

*It seems ashamed*

[researcherwdg]

EXCELLENT. YOU TWO WILL BE SENT OFF SHORTLY.

HOWEVER.

Gaster looks scary this close...

IF I AM TO CATCH WIND OF YOU DOING THIS AGAIN. EITHER OF YOU.

O U R

B O N D

W I L L

B E

S E V E R E D.

There is a pause.

OKAY. GOODBYE!

And with that, Gaster sends the souls off to live again...

*Hopping along, nibbling on an acorn*

[orangecat-soul]

*Watching from a distance*

[hop-the-squirrel-soul]

*Continues nibbling, unaware*

[orangecat-soul]

*Creeps closer, closer, until…*

[hop-the-squirrel-soul]

*There’s a shriek and then… nothing*

[orangecat-soul]

*It chews up its meal before walking away satisfied*

Mrrow!

*An orange cat is clawing at your pants leg*

@orangecat-soul

*They look down when they feel the cat start clawing at their pants*

Oh! Hello there!

*He sits down on the ground to get closer to the cat's level*

[orangecat-soul]

Mrraah!

*It seems to want something*

[tartarus-souls]

🪄💫✨✨✨

*A hot chocolate, a bag of marshmallows, and a stick on which to roast them appears next to Pandora. It seems the hot chocolate will stay warm until she wakes up.*

...

*They✨ take a marshmallow themself, and begin to roast it.*

[*she slowly gets up, covering themselves in the blanket]

[*she sits there for a second, taking the hot chocolate and sniffing it for a second before drinking]

[*they seem to enjoy the company.]

This is... The nicest thing anyone has ever done for me...

[*she says rather sheepishly]

[magical-mercury]

*He spends a moment just watching the marshmallow char.*

...That's a little sad to hear, but I suppose I can understand. 😔

I hope you are ready for a lot more nice things in the future, then. ☺️ ✨

[tartarus-souls]

It's not sad... At least I don't think. Goodness comes with a price. Why should I be respected when I haven't done anything to deserve it...?

[*they say that so casually. Like it's normal]

[magical-mercury]

*They flinch slightly as she speaks, letting out a deep breath once the conversation reaches another lull.*

There's no price. Not with m- not with us, not with family. 😮‍💨😇

*Xey hand the marshmallow to them.*

Here, my gift, given freely. 🤗✨

[tartarus-souls]

[*they seem surprised, hopeful even]

Uh- I uh- yeah! Don't know what i was thinking saying... that...!

[*she takes the marshmallow]

Yeah... i just sorta... Talk before thinking...

[magical-mercury]

Maybe that thoughtfulness can be something to work towards? A kindness to yourself and others. 😊✨️

You could start with this one! 😁

*She holds a cat up towards Pandora's face.*

@orangecat-soul

[orangecat-soul]

MRRAAHH—

*“the Cat” wriggles, scratches, and yowls wildly as it’s picked up, clawing at them (xem?)*

[tartarus-souls]

[*Pandora is napping!]

[*... On the floor... They seem comfortable]

[orangecat-soul]

*Bap bap*

Meow!

[perseverance-anon]

Meow. Meow meow meow meow meo-meow-meow meow-rrr. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow mrrr meow meow meow meow. Meow “meow meow” meow meow meow meow-meow meow mrr-meow meow-meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.

(I disagree. A vessel allows for new expressions of a soul’s power. A soul on its own is limited in its abilities and may even die if it becomes too weak to sustain itself. It is “more free” in that it has less restrictions and physical boundaries holding it back, but it cannot do much with that freedom.)

* Kitty!!! :D

[orangecat-soul]

Mrrrp?

(Hmm?)

*The cat approaches Poe, confused*

Meow meow meow-meow meow?

(Do you not understand me?)

[perseverance-anon]

* I understand you. It's just. Kitty :)

[* It seems like Poe's more occupied with the fact that they're a cat.]

[orangecat-soul]

Meo.

(Oh.)

Meow, meow meow.

(Well, alright then.)

*The cat with the orange soul sits in front of Poe, watching him*

[perseverance-anon]

[orangecat-soul]

*It seems awkward*

[perseverance-anon]

* So, what's up?

[orangecat-soul]

Meow meow.

(Cat stuff.)

[perseverance-anon]

* That's cool. I'm also a cat right now. Part cat. Cat boy. I'll be back to normal eventually.

[orangecat-soul]

(OOC: I’m getting tired of writing out the meows so imma drop the text gimmick for now. Just assume it’s meows)

Okay.

I’m uh… all cat.

I’ve almost found this squirrel I’ve been stalking by scent for a couple days.

[perseverance-anon]

* Why? Are you trying to catch them? I know a squirrel. They're nice. Please don't hurt them :(

[orangecat-soul]

Uh… yes. They’re tasty. All squirrels smell the same to me, so…

Yeah.
