Oh, hello there.

[Standing in the video is what appears to be a man, even if his proportions are distinctly too tall, arms and legs far too long. The mask he's wearing doesn't help to offset the appearance, and the mouth does not move.

Despite the network username distinctly being Daan's, the voice sounds nothing like him.]

Ladies, gentleman, and all there in between, it's a real pleasure to take advantage of this nifty invention to speak to you all at long last. It's been a real kicker waiting this long, but I'm nothing if not patient! So here we are, and introductions are in order, aren't they? Or maybe we've already met? Well, a refresher couldn't hurt.

I'm called a lot of things, but Pocketcat has been the most consistent. Funny little moniker! I absolutely adore it. And so suitable, too, for my pockets are very deep indeed.

Usually I'm something of a merchant, but I'll admit, my usual goods are just not material right now. My apologies on that front, but perhaps we could all barter for something else instead. I do so love a conversation almost as much as I love to trade, and frankly what is a chat but a trade of words anyway?

Ah, but here I am, rambling on! I should get to the point. Do forgive me.

You may ask me questions, of course, but I'll want something in return. That's just how the barter system goes, baby. For now... let's say I'll want your best story or secret. I'll just have to give a story in return. If such things interest you, of course.

Ta, my loves. I'll be thinking of you all.

Pocketcat...?

[limbical]

You got it, little miss! Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

Oh, but you can call me whatever you want if you find it distasteful. A name can be so malleable.

What are your thoughts on catnip? Mice? Yarn rolled up in a ball?

Such an inquisitive young lady! And what will you give me for those answers?

Right, you saw that phantom version, didn't you? Don't worry, darling; I'm the real deal.

[ whhhhhhhhhat the fuck. what the fuck? what the fuck. is that. ]

What're you planning on doing with the stories? I haven't seen you at the bookstore.

[limbical]

I would be a terribly poor librarian! I'd be stuck reading books all day long, and then nothing would get done.

So I'll make like a dragon and hoard it all for myself. Unless you have something better to trade, my dear?

but that is doctor daan's username. don's gaze is curious but wary, and she eyes the catman for a moment before replying. ]

I am in the trade of stories right now, Ser Pocketcat, and I am certain my boss would be most pleased if I were to record one from such a unique individual such as thyself. Do thee very much mind fairytales? It is one I have heard lately, and I find myself fond of it.

[ maybe he's going through something. or maybe he's distorted. it wouldn't be the first time she's seen it -- first time here, in this way, but not the first time in her life. the restaurant owner had his mind too for what it was worth. ]

[limbical]

There she is, the good Don Quixote. A pleasure, my lady.

I have a soft spot for fairytales. Regale me with one, and I'll give you a tale in turn! I'll even let you pick the genre.

May I ask where my doctor is, or is that a story that comes with a price?

[ my love for this shitty cat does not reach through the fourth wall, midnight remains unmoved :'c ]

[limbical]

Your doctor, your doctor. I'm chuffed!

Darling, that'll cost you a story, I'm afraid. But please! Give me a good story, and you get the raw truth from me.

[ UhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH

Peter's known that Daan's been going Through It. But sir, what the fuck—

He's not sure he wants to even... turn on his own video feed in response to this. It's sent more than a few odd shudders down his spine, seeing... this. But... this is Daan, right? He has to check on him... ]

Um.... Dr. Daan? Is this some kind of... joke?

[ His voice is tight with tension as he asks. Daan has never particularly seemed the sort to joke around like this.... and Peter well-knows that when something feels wrong, it normally is.

This feels extremely fucking wrong. ]

[limbical]

Ah, Peter. Look at you, more life in your eyes, but the scars remain. I don't mean that as a cruel statement; I'm honestly so pleased to see you doing well.

But if you want the truth, you too must pay the price. Tell me a story, and I'll do the same.

You're gonna have to be more specific, Heine! Which part? All of it? Here I was, thinking I was just full of clarity.

So would we be getting your best secret and/or story in turn or is it just the cheap stuff on offer?

[limbical]

I think that using the term "best" is subjective! After all, what I consider top quality might be peanuts to you. So I think maybe we stick to setting some expectations.

What kind of secrets are you hoping to hear?

[abstractart]

You don't look very pocket-sized to me.

[that's literally not what he said it meant,

he's seen enough of The Horrors to know it's probably better to be half-listening to them, though.]

[limbical]

Ha! That's true. I'd be real cute if I was, though.

What's in a name, though. Really, I wouldn't think too hard on it.

You're a cute cat, but if you're possessing the doctor please stop.

My, my. That's a lot more perception than I was expecting out of you, young man. What a good pair of eyes.

And what do I gain from abandoning everyone's favorite unlicensed practitioner?

[ .. this is so ridiculous.

Ridiculous that usually Daniel wouldn't engage, but sure, he also recognizes that username. And he still feels like he very much owes Daan after the other patched him up at the beginning of his stay here, in a way one dinner doesn't feel enough to make up for.

So.. ]

Did you steal Daan's phone?

[ Of course Daniel is going to think of the most mundane explanation.

Even when literally every single part of the other's appearance and message is anything but mundane. ]

[limbical]

Daniel, old chum! Stealing his phone? Can you imagine?

What's his is mine, after all.
