YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts on the show as usual,
and groans when her mother and brother show up again, near the
end::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at Mrs. Williamson
and Denny then looks back at Libby.:: hmmm..
Alexlndigo: JI: ::A Young Man is sitting in
the audience::
YarnKittymon: MW: ::looks less than amused during
the show, though Denny seems to enjoy it::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::finishes the show, then
looks around to see who's interested in seeing who afterwards::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::Walks up to Libby with a
smile:: Hi, can I see Erin? She is here today?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::a bit surprised that an
"oriental" would speak such good English, but nods::
You have a quarter, right?
Alexlndigo: JI: Yes Ma'am I do! ::hands her
the quarter::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::takes the quarter:: She's
right over there. ::looks around for other visitors, hoping they'll
prevent her from talking to her mother, but she doesn't seem to
have any such luck::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::Walks over to Erin:: Hello
miss, how are you, I really like your act! ::smile grows bigger::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Walks next to Libby:: need
any help?
YarnKittymon: : ::the weather's so nice (and
Alex is engaged), so few people stay behind, leaving poor Libby
to deal with her mother::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::smiles back, but seems a
bit bored:: Thank you very much. What's you name?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks around at what's left
of the crowd:: No, thank you.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks around for Becky::
YarnKittymon: MW: ::apologizes to her daughter
for coming, handing her two dimes:: Denny wouldn't give me any
peace until he got to see the show again.
mythrilhal0: BM: ::comes out from the lighting
room and heads over to daniel::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::My name is Junichiro Honda,
nice to met you. :
YarnKittymon: DN: ::nuzzles her, yawning:: I'm
gonna take a nap 'til the next show.
YarnKittymon: LB: Well, he's seen enough of
it, then.
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::shakes his hand:: Likewise.
Do you come to the show often?
YarnKittymon: DY: ::looks around at everyone
on and near the stage, smiling::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::rolls his eyes at Greta::
ummm humm
mythrilhal0: BM: ::smiles:: Sure, if you want
Alexlndigo: JI: Whenever I have enought saved,
I come to see you miss Erin.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::heads off into the back
room::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::goes over to join libby
but doesn't go right up to her since she's talking to her mother::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::smiles:: That's very flattering.
Is there anything I can do for you just now? Autograph? Demonstration?
YarnKittymon: : ::quite suddenly, everyone near
the stage, excepting Denny and Mrs. Williamson, finds themselves
in a forest, within sight of a primitive-looking village::
Alexlndigo: AX: What the hel...just happened...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks around, eyes wide::
I don't know...::shudders::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::eyes widen but still smiling::
Huh? is this a trick too?
mythrilhal0: BM: Reminds me of when sara was
here...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::shakes her head:: I have
no idea...
Alexlndigo: JI: Oh...my how neat.
Alexlndigo: AX: Libby....whats going on?
RGRIFFITHK: ER: Neat? Well, I suppose... ::Looks
to Libby::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::in a quiet voice:: I don't
know...unless I've sent us so far into the future...
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks around:: hmmm...
Alexlndigo: AX: You think you done this?
mythrilhal0: BM: You think it's likely that
coney eventually becomes a forest?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: I doubt
it, but perhaps someplace nearby. I don't know what would happen
if we travelled forward further than our lifetimes...when I send
people, they always wind up reappearing where they *would* have
been had they been around for the time they missed...if they were
planning on moving to Manhattan and they went forward a week they
might *be* there, all moved...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::moans:: oh ....
mythrilhal0: BM: But why would we all be at
this place?
YarnKittymon: LB: I don't know...
YarnKittymon: : ::they see some motion coming
from the village::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks around:: umm....ummm...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::stands next to Junichiro::
Sorry about this...guess you're really getting your quaters worth.
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks at Libby:: This is
more than a quarter worth!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: I'll charge you
another when we're safely back.
YarnKittymon: : ::the creatures coming towards
them are walking on all fours, and seem to be furry::
Alexlndigo: JI:: eyes widen:: you charge more?
I don't have anymore ma'am....what..
Alexlndigo: AX: ::eyes widen::
mythrilhal0: BM: I *really* wanna know where
we are now
YarnKittymon: : ::there's about half a dozen
of the creatures, and it becomes evident that they are, indeed,
giant cats; they hiss at the intruders, their backs arched::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::hastily takes a step behind
Junichiro::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::eyes widen:: Oh my! ::gets
in a fighting stance:: I will protect you!
mythrilhal0: BM: ::rather amazed:: They look
like Dan
Alexlndigo: AX: ::starts screaming:: Oh man,
there everywhere, this is a sick joke!
YarnKittymon: : ::the creatures hiss at Junichiro,
though one makes some funny mrrrowring noises, almost as if it's
a form of speech::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::Puts his hand down slowly
so the creature can smell him:: Nice kitty...kitty kitty...
mythrilhal0: BM: ::to the creatures:: i don't
suppose you can understand us...
YarnKittymon: : ::the creatures look rather
irritated::
Alexlndigo: AX: Okay if they attack, I'll
start popping okay?
YarnKittymon: : ::one of them sniffs at Becky,
and another one snaps at Junichiro, more as a warning; not really
aiming to bite::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::raises her hand for the
creature to sniff::
Alexlndigo: JI: ::slowly moves his hands back::
There not happy....
YarnKittymon: : ::one of the cats suddenly goes
back towards the village; the others stand their ground::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::gets scared:: Libby...can't
you do somthing...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::steps out from behind Junichiro,
looking rather embarrassed:: THey's have attacked by now if they
were going to...right?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks helpless:: Probably...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks like hes about to
panic:: Wheres Daniel, is he here, or not...darn, Libby you should
of brung him!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sounding a bit scared::
I didn't choose to come here! ::frowns:: Besides, I'm not sure
he knows their language, if they have one at all...
Alexlndigo: AX: your right they might of eat
him! Good thing...
mythrilhal0: BM: If that's their village, they
must have some kind of intelligence...they probably have some
kind of language...
Alexlndigo: JI: If there is anything I could
do to help...I will.
RGRIFFITHK: ER: What did you have in mind?
Alexlndigo: JI: I know Kendo, and a bit of
karate, thats all I can do to help and I don't have my sword today..
Alexlndigo: AX: ::starts to back away::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: You do, really? ::looks impressed::
Well, lets just see what they do next.
Alexlndigo: JI: yes, I think they may be friendly..perhaps.
::smiles::
YarnKittymon: : ::the cat that left comes back
with a pure white cat, with green eyes; it stands on its back
two paws when it reaches them; it hisses briefly, but then speaks
in barely decipherable English:: Wi myuu hirr?
mythrilhal0: BM: Why what?
YarnKittymon: : ::with more of an effort:: Wi
m--yuu hairr?
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks oddly at the cat::
where here, because...Libby you tell him..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::weakly:: I don't know...we'd
be happy to leave if we knew how...
mythrilhal0: BM: ::to the cat:: Where exactly
are we?
Alexlndigo: JI: ::just stares::
YarnKittymon: : Rorr rand... ::Junichiro might
be the only one there to whom it's obvious that 'rand' is their
way for saying 'land,' as the Japanese 'r' and 'l' are the same::
Alexlndigo: JI: This is your rand, Land, Well
how can we get off?
YarnKittymon: : ::the cat hisses again::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::whispers a hiss back::
YarnKittymon: LB: Do you have anyone who speaks
English better?
YarnKittymon: : ::the cat swipes its paw towards
Alex's face, not aiming to scratch, but as a warning; then turns
to Libby:: In thi wirrash... ::one of the cats turns to head back
to the village::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::turns white::
Alexlndigo: JI: I think he went to get somone
eles, how biazzare...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::hesitantly:: What did it
say?
mythrilhal0: BM: In the...village?
YarnKittymon: : ::the cat glares at all of them
for a moment, before nodding to Becky:: FFarrow.
Alexlndigo: JI: ::nods his head to the cat
and smiles::
YarnKittymon: : ::the other cats get behind
everyone, and try to herd them towards the village::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::cant move:: eeeeeppp....
YarnKittymon: : ::one of the cats hisses at
Alex, snapping at him, and then nudging him with his head::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::starts to walk slowly::
I wanna wake up...let me walk up, I know your doing this Dad...let
me wake up...
mythrilhal0: BM: ::starts heading towards the
village; ignoring alex::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::allows herself to be herded
along::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, taking Alex's arm::
This might not be the best thing to do, but if we fight them here
they'll just get the rest of their village and we'll still be
killed.
Alexlndigo: AX: ::holds on to Libby's arm::
This has to be a dream...I wan't out...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at the ground:: No;
we'll likely all be eaten, and it's my fault. I'm sorry.
Alexlndigo: JI: ::Follows them::
Alexlndigo: AX: They wont eat you.....I'll
shock them first...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::overhears Libby and looks
alarmed::
YarnKittymon: : ::they're soon at the village,
which is a few dozen huts (two in trees, the rest on the ground).
There's already about twenty cats gathered around, looking at
them curiously, some only kittens::
Alexlndigo: JI: I'm sure everthing will be
alright. ::smiles::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::still looks more depressed
than frightened::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::softly:: This's like Dan's
*people* or something...it's so weird...
YarnKittymon: : ::a dark gray cat approaches
them curiously, its whiskers twitching; it says something to the
white cat, who says something back--then it turns to the humans::
Who are you?
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at Libby:: its okay
Libby, cheer up! ::He lets go, and stands tall:: I' am a man,
I can handle this!
YarnKittymon: : ::the grey cat drops to all
fours, looking at Alex skeptically:: You don't even have claws.
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks to Libby:: Should
you be our speaker, or should someone eles.
mythrilhal0: BM: ::can't help but laugh::
Alexlndigo: AX: oh, you speak, neat, hi, I'm
Alex, I'm harmless, can we go home now?
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::can't hepl but smirk at
'harmless'::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head, rather
pale, at Junichiro::
YarnKittymon: : ::the cat nods:: You can call
me Natalie, though my people call me Wisaffiff.
Alexlndigo: JI: Why hello there Natalie, how
are you?
YarnKittymon: NT: ::snarls:: I've had enough
of that treatment from you humans already.
Alexlndigo: JI: Sorry miss....::looks away::
Alexlndigo: AX: so are you gonna eat us now....
YarnKittymon: NT: ::whiskers twitch again; to
Alex:: If you'd like.
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::whimpers::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Narrow his eyes:: Please
don't we just wanna go home!
YarnKittymon: NT: ::looks at Erin; tail twitches::
How did you find us? How do you know of us?
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks at Libby::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::groans:: If Dan were here
at least they might trust us a bit
RGRIFFITHK: ER: We...didn't. We just kinda
- appeared... ::looks to Libby::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shrugs helplessly:: I don't
know. I don't know where we are, or even what year it is. I--we
just *appeared* here. Like magic.
Alexlndigo: AX: puff, magic!
Alexlndigo: JI:We are sorry to intrude on
you.
YarnKittymon: NT: ::the cat mrrs, counting on
its fingers:: I *think* it's 1931. You're very poor sorcerers,
then.
Alexlndigo: AX: Well she is anyway.
YarnKittymon: LB: 1931? ::looks about ready
to faint::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::nervously:: So, ermm, what
does this mean?
Alexlndigo: JI: where in 1928....
Alexlndigo: AX: so great Evil cats take over...wippiee
doo da..
YarnKittymon: LB: ::weakly:: It means we've
lost three years of our lives...::sits down::
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::curses, sits down on the
ground and puts her head in her hands:: So we're stuck here.
YarnKittymon: NT: ::after quite a long pause::
I hate your people.
mythrilhal0: BM: ::sighs:: Does it help that
one of my best friends is one of *your* people?
YarnKittymon: NT: ::eyes widen:: How can that
be?
mythrilhal0: BM: We rescued him...he'd been
caught by other humans...and he lives with us now
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, to Erin:: Do you
have any links to anyone intact? So we could see what's going
on back...home? Assuming this isn't home?
YarnKittymon: NT: ::hisses:: And you treat him
like a pet! Like a creature in a 'zoo'! Right?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::angry:: No! He's my friend!
I'd never let anyone treat him like that!
Alexlndigo: AX: No, I have to go back home,
I gotta get married!
YarnKittymon: NT: ::softly:: Prove it.
RGRIFFITHK: ER: Yes. ::considers:: Yes I do.
Give me a min. ::closes her eyes for a moment::
Alexlndigo: JI: hmm....
mythrilhal0: BM: ::annoyed:: How can i? He
isn't here
YarnKittymon: NT: Tell me about him. Where does
he live?
mythrilhal0: BM: At our home, with me and libby
Alexlndigo: AX: yeah...and he hates to dance
too....
YarnKittymon: NT: ::hisses again:: And I suppose
this 'friend' doesn't even have a name?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::glares at her:: Daniel
Alexlndigo: AX:or Danny...
YarnKittymon: NT: ::tail twitches, but says
a few words to the white cat, who says quite a few in return;
finally:: What does he look like?
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::exitedly:: I have one -
Samantha's. ::closes her eyes again and concentrates::
YarnKittymon: : ::Erin sees a book that Samatha's
reading--when the vision shifts upward, she sees Samantha's in
the same hospital room where Erin had visited her::
mythrilhal0: BM: He's got brown fur with black
stripes
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ...she's still in hospital
- but...?
YarnKittymon: LB: How could that be?
YarnKittymon: NT: ::confers with the white cat,
then steps closer to Becky:: Where is he? Bring him back to us!
mythrilhal0: BM: What?
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::looks again, just to be
sure:: I have no idea... So if she's still there, where are *we*?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::rather cheerfully:: Who
cares? It might not have been as long as we thought...if she's
still in the hospital, only a few days should have passed, right?
Alexlndigo: AX: ::takes a deep breathe:: Oh
goodness, serena told me about that....
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::unconvinced, but nods slowly::
...right.
YarnKittymon: NT: A few years ago several of
our people--myself included--went out to try to visit the humans.
But they caught us all, sold us, put us in shows...::hisses::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::murmurs:: I wish someone
would bring that poor girl a newspaper...
mythrilhal0: BM: Dan...came from here?
YarnKittymon: NT: We had a brown kitten with
us.
Alexlndigo: AX: Wait, you Want Daniel to come
back? But what if he doesn't want too?
YarnKittymon: NT: His mother is dead, but he's
one of us! He belongs here! Now bring him to us! We'll keep one
of you here to make sure you do!
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks at the ground; trembling
slightly:: I...I could bring him here
YarnKittymon: NT: ::whiskers twitch:: Do it.
Alexlndigo: JI: I'll stay here if you wish....
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks over at libby as if
asking her what to do::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: If you really *can,*
Becky...he'd be better off with his own kind...but don't use too
much energy...
mythrilhal0: BM: ::sighs and then teleports
away, looking for Daniel::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks down:: Be careful
Becky.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::is in the back room of the
freak show, napping::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::kneels down in front of
him:: Hey, Dan...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::yawns, waking:: Hi. Is it
time for the show? ::looks around:: Where is everyone?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks away; softly:: Um...they're
at this place...we found....where you came from
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks very frightened::
The circus? Did they lock them up in cages too?
mythrilhal0: BM: No...i mean....where you came
from before then. Others like you
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs:: Huh?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::smiles sadly:: A village
of other giant cats who can talk...your home...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::eyes widen:: Really?
mythrilhal0: BM: Yeah...i'm gonna teleport
you there okay?
YarnKittymon: DN: Okay...
mythrilhal0: BM: ::suddenly hugs him tightly,
hesitates for a moment, and then teleports them back to the village::
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks around, amazed; mrrs::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks at Becky:: Are you
okay?
YarnKittymon: : ::there's a murmur from the
cats as Daniel appears; a couple come up to sniff him::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::is flickering but hardly
seems to notice; keeps her eyes on Daniel:: Yeah, i'm fine
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks quite pleased at all
the attention, though he doesn't understand a word anyone's saying::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::eyes water:: Do we have
to leave him, Imean, hes our friend...and its not fair....
YarnKittymon: NT: ::turns back to Becky:: Thank
you.
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks like she's about to
cry::
Alexlndigo: AX: ::goes to hug Becky:: We will
miss him, its not fair...
YarnKittymon: NT: Now you may all return to
where you came from.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::looks at Becky:: Why're
you so sad?
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks at Daniel:: hmmm..
Alexlndigo: AX: Because we have to leave you
here, doesnt that stink!
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs:: What do you mean?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::sadly:: You're better off
here, Dan. They're your kind
Alexlndigo: AX: There mean beast..who don't
care what you feel...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::doesn't quite understand
all this:: Will you stay too, Becky?
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks away:: I...I'll come
visit...i don't think they'd appreciate me living here
Alexlndigo: JI: ::looks at Erin:: Will you
miss Daniel too?
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs, head down:: I don't
wanna stay here without you...
RGRIFFITHK: ER: ::suprised at the question,
sniffs:: Of course I'll miss him.
Alexlndigo: JI: Then I will miss him also.
YarnKittymon: : ::Erin suddenly vanishes::
mythrilhal0: BM: You're safer here - people
won't shoot you, or try to hurt you
YarnKittymon: DN: ::voice shaking:: But you
said you'd keep me safe...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::Looks at Natalie:: I hope
your happy...
YarnKittymon: NT: ::just looks rather puzzled
at the situation, ignoring Alex::
mythrilhal0: BM: But you wouldn't *need* to
be kept safe here
Alexlndigo: JI: Where did Erin go? how...
YarnKittymon: DN: But I wanna stay with you...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::half-heartedly:: That'll
cost you another quarter.
Alexlndigo: JI: Me feel poor now...::sighs::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::looks over at Natalie and
then actually does start crying::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: You've seen the
show, that I can't control my talents.
YarnKittymon: DN: ::mrrs; nudges his way out
from the group of catpeople around him and runs to Becky, nuzzling
her:: Don't cry...
Alexlndigo: AX: ::looks at Daniel and Becky::
Okay Natalie, he wants back home...let him go!
mythrilhal0: BM: ::hugs Daniel, doesn't say
anything::
YarnKittymon: : ::the cats seem to have a pretty
lengthy discussion amongst themselves::
YarnKittymon: : ::finally, Natalie goes to Daniel::
Come with us.
mythrilhal0: BM: ::pulls away from daniel and
looks at the ground::
YarnKittymon: DN: I don't wanna!
YarnKittymon: NT: ::sternly:: Just for a few
minutes. ::grabs Daniel so that he can't really escape and drags
him off to a hut::
mythrilhal0: BM: ::softly:: He *is* better
off here
YarnKittymon: LB: If it were the end of the
season I might not have such mixed feelings...
YarnKittymon: DN: ::comes out of the hut a few
minutes later; runs over to Becky and the others::

you!
