Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 8:47:15 PM)
So.. when last we saw our heroes(?) they had led a stray cat off to the Mansion, in hopes of speaking with it and helping it out. Tejah had it under her command for a few more hours, and it didn't seem to like this. But obeyed anyways.. It was currently following her to the door... or following the Crow. One or the other.
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 8:49:10 PM)
Crow had arrived along the silver pathways of the spirits wilds and now awaited them in the node room. He had errected a shallowing on his arrival and now sat on the floor, semi-transluscent as he straddled the gauntlet to exist in both worlds. His eyes were closed as he reflected inwards, taking what free time he had to prepare for the journey ahead of him.

-Tejah was already inside of the house, fixing another meal of freshly killed chicken and setting it down for the cat ~iwa~ The person I told you about is here, and he can help you find your way back home.. will you speak with him ?

Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:02:09 PM)
The cat flicked it's tail.. turning up his nose at yet another meal of chicken when it'd just eaten earlier and it smelled quintessence somewhere.. Sniffing about.. and then starting to follow it's nose towards the node room. It hopped to place paws on the door.. and meowed at anyone that happened to follow it.
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:03:29 PM)
-Tejah did follow as that is where she wanted it to go as she knew her mentor well enough to know that is where he would be. she opened the door [ thats right, sorry I had forgotten im old] letting the cat inside as she followed in behind it, closing the door-

Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:04:27 PM)
A bit of a growl as it padded around, sniffing at things, rubbing up against the thing in the center of the room.. and licking at it. Purring a little. Crazy cat!
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:05:45 PM)
- She glanced around and smiled, noting her mentor- Crow, this is the cat I was telling you about at the campsite.. Shadowcat, this is Crow..
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:05:55 PM)
When he heard the paws at the door, Crow came out of his trance and rose to his feet. He stepped forward, his transluscent form wearing a warm smile as he greeted Tejah and the cat. "So this is the one", he said with a small nod, speaking in Iwapo rather than english. Crow stepped around, moving to kneel on the floor by the doll in the center of the room as he watched it. "I'm Crow, a child of Black Eyes, Dreamspeaker and emissary of the local spirit wilds. Good to meet you."
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:09:14 PM)
Mrr? It blinked wide golden eyes and looked over at Crow.. the hair on it's spine raising a little and it sat down where it was. ~Hello.~ It spoke in spirit speech, cautious of the obvious shaman.
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:09:16 PM)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:13:02 PM)
A small frown touched his lips as he examined the small cat closely. Any who cared to notice would feel the lingering resonance of his magic settled around him, expanding his senses and keeping him teetering on the line between worlds. "Where has your companion gone off to, I wonder......do you know? Surely you've become seperated and no local awakened has let you starve in such a way on purpose...." He moved his hand to his side, withdrawing his blade from the sheath on his hip. He leaned down and flaked a few crystalized tears from the dolls face before tapping them out onto the ground. "Eat, it is tass...perhaps not your particular preference in flavors...but I'm sure you'll find it's better then nothing. Once you feel your strength returning, though, I expect a few answers."
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:14:18 PM)
( afk a sec )
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:14:23 PM)
The cat speaks iwapo .. the speech of the spirits - she said softly as she simply stood there and watched the communication between the two - ~iwa~ That is what I cut my hand, it was near death when I found it it seemed to have helped bolster his strength~
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:16:46 PM)
( bak for a sec, heating up food. And I don't know if that's actually how tass manisfests around this node...I don't think it's ever been said officialy. But it's original resonance was fear and the node's focus is the doll...so I've been using it until an official statement comes along. Hope no one minds )
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:17:39 PM)
It went to sniff at the tears.. sure they were weird.. but at this point it wasn't going to turn down a free meal. Not in the condition it was in It licked up the salty bits, then licked it's lips.. meowed.. and went to rub on the dreamspeaker's legs in thanks. Still full of that frantic sort of energy the half-starved got when seeking food. ~Thank.~ It said, in spirit tongue.
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:17:51 PM)
[ nah im cool afk have to cough this lung up right quick]
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:20:34 PM)
He nodded, moving to rest his hand on the back of it's neck and drag it along the creature's spine. "For now, you can remain here to nourish yourself. But I will need to know about your master and how you ended up in this condition."
Omega Smith (Aug 10, 2011 9:25:04 PM)
*omega would simply frown. She couldn't believe what she heard they had done to shadow cat...thos horriable monsters*
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:25:47 PM)
( Sorry, everything Heyoka has said so far has been in Iwapo...the enochian-derivitive language of spirits. It'll prolly continue to be so, until I say otherwise. )

Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:29:32 PM)
(np... dinner is ready here.. imma grab a taco real quicklike)
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:29:33 PM)
~Gone.~ Mournfully said. ~Not know. Gone. Metal men catch me. Not come home.~ It turned around in a circle... looking one way, flicking it's tail madly for a moment, then zipped the other way and around in a circle.. the room was finite. It's need to move was not. ~Catch me.~ Almost a laugh. ~Put me in a cage. Make it hurt. Metal cage. Then the fire.. FIRE... lots of fire.. and I ran. Ranranran LOTS...~ Pause. ~No fire here. Nice.~ It blinked golden eyes at them all again, having stopped suddenly, just lashing it's tail as it watched the trio. Seeming to study them.
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:33:10 PM)
(back, with taco.)
Omega Smith (Aug 10, 2011 9:36:30 PM)

Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:41:38 PM)
He nodded slightly in response to the cat's story, turning to look at the others for a moment. "It is a familiar....though it's master is missing. Judging by it's story, I would guess they were a victim of the technocratic lab we recently destroyed." That much was said in english before he looked back to the cat and returned to Iwapo. "The bond between you is still intact, nothing has destroyed the enchantment, which means your awakened companion still lives. There is a chance that we can use that bond to find them for you, especially if you can tell us a little more about them."

A soft mrrrr... it licked it's lips.. ~Miss.~ Is all it said, simply. ~Warm. Nice. Feed good.~ An ear flicked, and amoment of confusion. It pawed at it's head. ~How?~
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:44:48 PM)
Growling softly.
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:47:08 PM)
- Tejah still whispered the translation for Omegatrying to be as unobtrusive as possible, yet be helpful at the same time, she did everything within her power at this point, the awakened would have to take it from there..-
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:47:47 PM)
"The bond between a mage and their familiar is unique. Someone with a proper understanding of sympathetic connections could use you as a starting point, to locate the mage themselves." He turned on his heel, one knee pressing to the floor to steady him in his knelt position. He looked up at Tejah and smiled softly, returning to english for a moment. "I will be gone for a while, very soon. But there are awakened who frequent this place who could help this creature find it's master I am sure, though I could not tell you who. If you want to help Shadowcat, then find someone who can exploit the 'sympathetic connection'." He emphasized the last two words, as if they were important.
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:49:46 PM)
~Not tell.~ Something of a mewl.. ~Metal men ask. Not tell.~ Almost to itself... Then it scooted around looking for a hiding place.
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:50:36 PM)
Do you mean mental link? - she was grasping at straws, but it was worth a shot anyways-
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:51:45 PM)
"Yes and no.... While there is a mental connection, this goes much deeper than that. Their connection is one written into the fabric of reality...someone skilled in an understanding of correspondence would be ideal." He then looked back to the cat, reverting back to Iwapo. "Not tell what?"
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:52:48 PM)
It seems to notice them again, blinking golden eyes again. And sneezing. ~Where. Not know. Gone before metal men came.~
Omega Smith (Aug 10, 2011 9:54:05 PM)
I can help find the master? I have a device that can help with that...*she'd dig in her bag and pull out a scanner *
Tejah D'Aquin (Aug 10, 2011 9:54:27 PM)
~ iwa~ But where is home, can you at least lead us there? perhaps we can trace the steps your master took from there ...- In english- That is possible right ?
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:55:05 PM)
He nodded and slowly rose to his feet once more. With a few soft whispers, Heyoka reinforced the spiritual pattern of the poor familiar. The creature could feel itself grow stronger, the weakness left by it's hunger had been healed, at least for now, and the meal of tass in its system would be certain to stave off such pain again.
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:55:37 PM)
( 2 successes, so up to 4 damage healed if it's hunger has caused any thaumavoric degeneration. )
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:55:51 PM)
It blinked again, fur standing on end. Shocked silent.
Cat of the Crooked Tail (Aug 10, 2011 9:56:38 PM)
(as this is a catchup scene.. methinks exploration should be done in the now.)
Ashishishe Heyoka (Aug 10, 2011 9:57:15 PM)
( -nods- Agreed. Besides, since Crow is gonna be missing for a good part of the story, I don't wanna get him too heavily involved until he technicly returns to the area. )
