[ wow! it's so pretty! and chaotic. cait grabs it eagerly and looks at it from all angles!
and then just holds onto it with no drinking, so this doesn't answer the question ]
Not a bad looking drink! Have ye ever done this before?

Well, being served is everyone's usual favourite part of drinkin'. [ cait is wiggling up onto the bar counter and playing with the drink properly now. by batting it around. Yes, That's What You Do With Drinks. ] Some of my companions back home ran a bar for a while. Mind, that was before I knew them, so I cannae say anything about the quality of its wares, but I've heard good things.
Huh.
[ leaning on the bar, trying to do his best cool bartender impression as he listens attentively. ]
I always thought I'd be good at it. That job-- I mean.
[ no he'd be awful. staying in one place, behind a bar, not able to leave at any moment? annoying job. ]

Sittin' down and listenin' to drunken ramblings or making drinks?
[ aren't both parts essential to the job. ]

[ genuinely curious about this ]
Really? What sort of drama?
Really? What sort of drama?
Any kind you can think of when you put a lot of grown, weird adults who can't hold a regular job down together in a bunch of small wagons and drive them around the countryside. And feed them mostly on alcohol.
Romantic entanglements, regretful hookups, so-and-so didn't catch me when I was thrown through the flaming hoop and now my eyebrows are gone, someone drank my booze while I was putting on my makeup. All that.

[ hmmm. leans forward with his tail twitching ]
Now, see, I may not have eyebrows, but I'd understand being a little dramatic about that. Any of these situations yours as well?
[ hes just a gossip. ]

[ hes just a gossip. ]
I've never regretted a thing in my life, and as you can see, my eyebrows are perfectly intact.
Mostly it was my job to solve the problems. [ he wasn't the boss, but he was the boss's blorborina ] Gustav ran the big picture, and I took care of the small things. Made sure the show could go on and all.

[ leaning forward like he is judging his eyebrows before nodding in approval ]
All in the past tense, eh? It sounds like you were rather important to that circus. What made you quit?

Oh, I don't know. I don't think I made much difference in the end, with how it all came to a close. But-- They found me, when I crawled out of that grave. Taught me words again, taught me how to be my own person. Owed them a lot.
And I didn't exactly quit. More that good things don't always last forever. Probably the same as your friend's bar, aye?

Ah.
[ well. now he looks sorry he asked, and also he may have winced a little at the bar thing ]
Somethin' like that, though I doubt the circumstances were entirely similar. What are you up to since, then?
[ besides. living and dying. and living and dying. ]

Me? There's not much to know. Not much that isnae obvious, at least. I'm but a simple company worker.
[ also a cat fortune teller. sure. simple. ]

Doesnae everyone? [ not just here but like. in general. ] I've yet to meet anyone fully satisfied with everythin' in life. I'll admit, part of why I agreed to this was to see if they could even do everything they promised.
I dinnae know if it was a need, but I am a very curious cat.
[ it was at least 50% can they do it for real ]
It's hard to say. They've pulled off some feats I wouldnae have thought possible, but nothing yet at the level of granting anything one's heart might desire.

[ goes nyan innocently as if saying guilty as charged ]
Right. And they're not limitin' to just one impossible wish--but one for each member of a team. Ten whopping wishes!

[ well they were in the same curfew so there is no need to find molly. so instead they get the texts and cait is just doing a double take ]
What?? What do they mean, a body?
[ WAIT MOLLY CAN'T READ!!! ]

[ well apparently we get a fun video clip too so i guess he can piece it together!!! after we have fun watching that!! yippee!!!!! ]
He cannae really be...?
[ just sad kitty pinned down ears here ]
I thought we'd run into trouble eventually, but this?
