Oh thank goodness. This wrong recipient thing is going to kill me.

Depends. How many people are in the place.

[maskreant]

i think it's just me and the cats right now.

Yusuke might still be around, but he most likely passed out.

[esperimental]

Is he okay?

[maskreant]

i fed him, so he should be good once he gets some hours.

[esperimental]

Did you let a beggar into your home or...?

[maskreant]

he actually has never begged for anything, actually.

he's a hard-working artist and you know what any kind of passionate hard work does to people. maybe when you visit, you can check out his pieces.

[ ADDRESS SENT. he hopes this doesn't go to the wrong person (it doesn't, thank god). ]

[esperimental]

I see. He sounds focused to a perhaps self-destructive degree. It's good he had someone watching over him.

Well, I'm not really doing anything. Is it strange to drop by on such short notice?

[maskreant]

he knows his own limits, if not his friends are there. 👍

i wouldn't say so and i live here. until another roommate appears, my word is law.

[esperimental]

Got it. Thank you for having me in advance.

[ THE FIRST TIME HE MET KATKAT HE KIND OF... had a breakdown... so it's nice that they've settled into a routine where he's decidedly not giving her salt water to lick off his face! ]

[maskreant]

it's no problem. just remember to breathe.

[ Shhh Ritsu. It's going to be okay. Anyway, Akira will be waiting for him at the house. ]

[esperimental]

Did the place start manifesting a unique odor?

[ ritsu no ]

Ah, right, art materials. [ Probably not that either, but efforts were made. ]

[maskreant]

[ ?????????????????????????????????? ]

did you want to come from the back door or something?

you don't need to bring an offering to appease Yusuke, but i don't think he'll say no to some.

[esperimental]

You mentioned breathing. Does the place
smell?

[ ... He's trying... ]

[maskreant]

no, i meant just relax.

but i wouldn't recommend going down our basement right now.

[esperimental]

[ ... ominous... ]

Noted.

[ You'll hear the doorbell when he gets there! ]

[maskreant]

[ Is it as ominous as how Akira slowly opens the door like this is some horror? With only an eye showing from the crack... He's doing this because Katkat is squirming to peek her own head through the door. Meow!! ]

Ritsu.

[ This is his ~ominous~ voice. He's definitely playing this up just for some kicks. ]

[esperimental]

... Katkat, hello!

[ And here Ritsu bends his knees to get a look at the good baby girl. He's just going to ignore you from the second you started that, Akira. Surprise spooky is better with him. Or roaches. ]

[maskreant]

[ you punk............. Well, Akira doesn't seem to mind, but he does let out a dramatized sigh as he's sidelined by a kitten. The door is wide open now. ]

Come in.

[esperimental]

[ Ritsu shifts back to polite mode as if on command, and bows lightly. ]

Pardon the intrusion. ... So, what happened in the basement?

[ You are not wrong about him being a punk. ]

[maskreant]

... I'm actually not sure what happened in the basement if I have to be honest with you.

[ But... He'll lead Ritsu to the basement door and open it? The cats instantly run away because IT SMELLS

LIKE CAT. ]

Some cats might have used this for shelter during the rain over the years? I don't know.

[esperimental]

...

[ Dude, that reeks. HE WASN'T WRONG. ]

I'm surprised you all moved in regardless? So is the basement strictly property of the cats?
