Black-as-can-be cats arrive a-pair,
Up on a rooftop, a plaintive eve,
And on the tips of their pointed tails hung
A wispy crescent-moon, looking hazy.
'O-wah, good evening,'
'O-wah, good evening!'
'O-wah, o-wah, o-wah!'
'O-wah, the man of this household is bedridden.'

A poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara, that I heard once from a friend. It seems things have calmed down since #FFFFFF arrived, but I wonder if that's the end of it.

How is everyone's literary analysis? I think we should be prepared for more mysterious messages, and maybe there's a way to prevent it before it gets bad.

[ not forever... just for today... he doesn't want to think about cats in heat!! ]

They could just be crying.

[good_ideas]

about what??

[passio]

I don't know. Why does anyone cry?

[good_ideas]

i have no idea~

because they're sad?
or maybe another reason you might be thinking of?

[passio]

[ he feels like he’s being teased........ ]

I don’t know. I don’t think they’re in heat.

That sounds like a very different poem.

[good_ideas]

there's a poem about cats in heat?

[And he knows it?]

[passio]

No! At least, I don't think so.

[ she got an exclamation point out of him! ]

she is a terrible human and I'm so sorry

[good_ideas]

[Poor guy... if she wasn't enjoying this way too much, she would have cut him some slack.]

awwwwwww
and there's no way for us to find out about it either

it's fine, he deserves it for being pretentious

[passio]

Would you want to find out about it?

but he's been so cute though

[good_ideas]

you wouldn't?
curiosity is a very important quality to have you know?

and so easy to bully.....

[passio]

I think I’m curious about enough. There are only so many things I can focus on.

well. yes. but she'll feel bad about this one day. maybe

[good_ideas]

awwww
really?

what a pity

[passio]

You’re welcome to look on your own time, for a poem like that.

[good_ideas]

but i can't do that here?
which is why it would be better to ask a poem ~expert~

[passio]

I'm not an expert.

Maybe the books will be restored somehow and there's a poem you can find for yourself!

[good_ideas]

but then i'll have to go and look....

[And by look she really means that she'll have to stand there and run her hand over every book, psychometry making it so that all it'll take is a minute to read each book.

Still. WORK.]

[passio]

[ even if she wasn’t trying to... her petulance has stirred him to action, because this is how he makes peace. ]

Then...

I guess I’ll look, when it’s possible.

[good_ideas]

!!!

Really?

Really really??

Thank you~

[passio]

[ this is a weird errand that he didn’t have to commit to, but... here he is! great. now he feels obligated. ]

Really really.

You’re welcome.

[good_ideas]

o(≧▽≦)o

[He didn't have to commit to it, but he has which is indication that he's easy to tease as well as kind. And maybe a bit too much of a pushover... Still, she'll be nicer to him next time.

...She'll try.




She might be nicer?]

if you find any books or poem collections by sakutaro hagiwara, share them with me too

[There, that's her good deed for the day.]

[passio]

[ oh... a small kindness... that's the fastest way to earn his loyalty because he's still not used to it! and after a stream of light-hearted bullying, it means even more. ]

I will. Gladly.

May I ask your name?

[good_ideas]

thanks

I’m shiho
Sannomiya shiho

And you are?

[passio]

Dextera.

It’s... nice to meet you, Shiho.

[ he thinks?? ]

[good_ideas]

[Polite people that are way too easy to step all over... what is she ever going to do with you guys...]

hm~ is it?

well
it's nice to meet you too
