cats, man

[stardiving]

[As the Gear turns on, there's a loud rustling and scratching of claws against the ground. Not a whole lot of light, it's late after all, just the ambient light from the screen of the Gear itself. Just enough to cast a little light on Estinien's face, eyes open and lying on his back staring at the ceiling of his tent in tired resignation.

The scratching and shuffling comes rapidly closer to the camera, and a large shadow passes over--for those with quick eyes, it's the belly of a Perrserker, which is bouncing around the tent like a godsdamned maniac.

It's 3 AM. Cat's got the zoomies.

This has happened every night for the past two weeks.

Estinien grunts as the manic metal cat uses his stomach as a springboard to launch itself out of the tent, there's a yelp outside and for a split second the inside of the tent takes a reddish-orange cast as his Ninetales breathes fire at said crazy cat just outside. The crashing noises get distant for a little bit, but just as Estinien is sitting up to get his Gear and turn it off, he's knocked back flat on his back by the Return of the Cat, satisfied with its early, early morning chaos, and settling directly on his chest while making the most horrid noise.

Estinien just sighs as deeply as one possibly can with a 60 pound cat weighing you down.]

Truly, are you going to do this every night?

[He frowns and turns off the Gear. Goodnight everybody!]

[That certain little fact rouses Dimitri up a little more in interest. He's quickly adapted to the idea of different Pokemon having developed a variety of ways to protect themselves and deal with combat... but growing one's fur to be so hard that it functions as armor?]

[...Felix would kill him for considering that himself.]

That sounds to be a rather helpful beast to have in battle... Well, if one isn't troublesome.

Where did you come across him?

[Dimitri no. There's no way you can get your hair matted enough to be a helmet.]

He is the 'starter' of a friend, currently not in this world. And so his care has fallen to me.

[Listen. That's just quitter's talk.]

...That sounds to be like quite a friend.

[Why an armor hell cat]

[Please, not even Estinien 'Cuts His Bangs With A Knife When They're In His Face Too Much' Wyrmblood would try to grow a hair helmet.]

We would not have met were it not for this world.

[He shrugs slightly, tapping his fingers thoughtfully. He might as well talk about this since he's not getting back to sleep anytime soon, but...]

The world I hail from tis actually several linked, but separate shards of one world that normally we cannot travel between. He was from another shard, and another time besides.

[They can both suffer through this sleepless night together, with a zoomie cat and a gaming rat. Dimitri listens to all of this thoughtfully, even though it makes No Goddess Damn Sense.]

I am afraid I do not entirely understand what you mean by 'separate shards'....
