*The Wisp Slaps Him, Causing The Doll To Stop Chanting And Start Laughing.*

*the kitten looked him dead in the eye, feeling his soul moving inside.* mew *they hopped. this kitten is a different kitten*

*the intensity in their eyes was somewhat unnerving, not to mention it had actually heard what he said and acted on it. He glanced behind him through the 'window' (it was really just a rectangular hole that let him see the front door)*

"Hey Jim? Could you come here?"

°CJ slipped into the kitchen, looking inquisitive. Yeah?°

"...I think this cat actually figured out door knobs."

°I mean yeah, they did get in. What do you mean?°

"...I asked them if they wanted raw or cooked, said hop for cooked and sneeze for raw. Bean looked dead at me and hopped."

°...Guess they want cooked?°

"Well yeah I got /that/ part I dunno, I think I've been up for to long..? Everything feels off now."

°He pauses for a moment, then pulls out a pocket recorder and trains the view onto the kitten. Maybe, it is late after all... Might as well give the little one some meat for now.°

*a nod*

"Yeah- here. Hope it's good Bean."

*he puts the plate in front of the kitten. There's a medium sized burger patty on it now.*

°Is their name 'Bean' now?°

"I mean, unless you can think of something better?"

°Not really, are they ok with the name? If not I'm calling them Snow Ear°

"...Isn't that a fungus you liked in middle school or something?"

°...Not what I meant.°

mutuals if i like your negative posts please just imagine me patting u on the back comforting you, not like i actually like that you’re hurt

*the kitten rubs his head against RJ* mew *they purr loudly*

*RJ doesn't stir at the embrace or the gentle rubbing, but his breathing looks a little easier.*

°CJ adjusts himself, preparing to actually lift him up. He doesn't think Jim is bleeding anymore, but the muted red on his shirt, head, and the seat are worrying at best. He looks at the kitten. Do you happen to have any portal tricks? He adjusts himself and Jim again, before lifting.°

"Ready to roll, Jim?"

°nod°

"Perfect! I'm excited, are you excited Jim?"

°another nod, accompanied by a smile°

"Yeah, this is going to be so cool. Usually we're the ones out there- asking the big questions. It'll be interesting, to say the least, to have a chance to be the ones with the questions asked of us. Otherwise though- we proceed as normal, we never know when the next big scoop will show up! We have to be vigilant, Jim."

°the sounds of a camera being turned on can be heard, it is time to begin°

[[Reporter Jim and Cameraman Jim are now available for Questions]]

"Hiya!"

°Oh- hello there!°

*RJ waves with a hand not occupied by a book.*

"Hi!"

*NJ gives a wave from the kitchen.*

Ⓐⓛⓡⓘⓖⓗⓣ. *They walk toward the portal with you.*

°CJ stops just before entering, and sticks his left hand in to test how it feels, and if something was going to eat it off.°

it takes ten seconds to tag something and forty five minutes to hours to calm down from a panic attack. think about that for a second 

*They walked through the portal with CJ.*

°He glanced around, blinking in the new space. It looked like... downtown? There's a tension in the air though, and the colors are muted, like the world is a bowstring strung tight through a camera filter. It's familiar, and not just because it looks like the streets he'd driven down with RJ a thousand times.°

°...°

°He starts walking forward°

*The stop talking and stare at him for a while, before sending him through a portal.*

°His eyes go wide and he curles up like a cannon ball as he falls, not knowing what else to do and terrified of what might be below°

*just so slightly, he stirs. It is not alot, but it is something. He's been busy, in there, huh?*
