[Going to ride his vroomvroom to the island to the coffee shop. He comes in with this jacket on, zipped to the chin, but once he's inside, he unzips it until a skrunkly black kitten can stick its head out of the lapel.]
Both he and the cat kind of look around and then at this hand. He slowly wanders over to the skellie hand. Him and the cat look at it again. While looking:]
but as he speaks, the hand jumps! it jitters up to stand like Thing from the addam's family and twirls, only to drop and one hand finger gun at him. kerchow.]
He truly jumps and goes rigid. One hand flies up to shield the sweet, scraggly-ass kitten, but the hand is just handing, and he is just staring. HELLO?]
[the hand somehow manages to look offended. somehow.]
I doubt it. He scared the shit out of me earlier and I may have thrown him against a wall, and he's done no counter-violence. [... the hand flips her off.]
[He tries not to laugh help. Biting him lips together, don't laugh.]
Okay. [He reaches up into the jacket to pluck the kitten out, and it gives a mewl for the disturbance. He puts it on the counter, but stands beside it so it doesn't fall. The fur looks like it's slowly growing back in.] You know the cabin we found?
He glances at the cat, reaching up to scritch it around one ear. It seems chill; it sits there to enjoy it.]
The same place you got your... hand. Except a couple of weeks ago. I was worried I'd hurt him when I was acting weird, but luckily I didn't. You can pet him if you want.
I don't know if they breathe before inhaling food.
[the bone hand startles when gideon starts moving forward, and akira might get the impression that it would let out a girly little shriek if it were capable. it climbs up into her hair and away from the cat.]
... Seriously? [she says, peering up at it.
well whatever. she wants to pet the cat.]
Does he have a name? [... gently offers her hand out to the kitty.]
[He laughs a little. Like about Cosmopolitan and also the skellie hand. Help him. This hand is afraid of a cat.]
They did fight me over pizza the first time we met them, so I can see it.
[He takes her by the wrist and pulls the hand forward so she can pet this damn cat without being cautious. Give scritch. The cat puts a paw on her hand and tips its head up.]
Well... He didn't, but I wanted one. Except I made the mistake of asking Blue and Malibu. They gave me terrible answers, then insisted it be Jiji. But I wanted him to be cool, so now he's Jiji Devilcat.
[that's the funniest name he could've given this cat.
anyway, he pulls her forward and she yelps a little, and the bone hand cannonballs into the hood of her cloak, goodbye. that tiny beast will tear it to pieces, it just knows it.
this is the first time gideon has touched a
has touched a p
cat.]
Devilcat? [... she pets it, scritching.] He's way too cute to be a devil.
I was gonna name him Devilman to get back at Blue, but they pointed out he's not a man. So. Devilcat.
[LISTEN this hand is cracking me the fuck up
He lets Gideon pet the kitten without forced control. He just wanted her to know she didn't have to be scared because it's a sweet baby. It starts purring! Hehe.
Akira walks around Gideon to the back, reaching up to tug the edge of the hood down a bit to try to see the hand.]
no, it can't like, stop him from picking it up, though it does squirm in a sort of indignant way. how dare you! put me down i am the night!!! gideon doesn't seem to care.]
Are you asking me? I don't know, it's just how the Ninth is. We do bones.

I LOVE THIS CAT. gideon is nowhere to be found? maybe she's not here yet?
there is, however, a hand on the counter. it's a skeleton hand, to be clear, you can't miss it.]
no subject
Both he and the cat kind of look around and then at this hand. He slowly wanders over to the skellie hand. Him and the cat look at it again. While looking:]
Gideon...?

The Thing...

[comes gideon's voice as she comes into the room.]
Found him in my room. Or her, I su--
[it does a gesture of shaking it's finger no.]
Oh. Okay. Him, then.
no subject
Dammit, I thought you had turned into a hand or something!
[SHE SCARED HIM. I love this hand, tho. He lowers his own away from the kitten, and it mrrps.]
You just had a hand in your room...? Do you know it? Er, him.
no subject
I - turned into a hand? Akira. [she's amused.] I've got no idea who he is, but he seems to know me.
[the hand jumps off the counter and skitters over to climb up her pants leg and side, all the way to her shoulder. it just perches there.]
no subject
[He watches the fucking hand climb her and sit on her shoulder. He can't tell if this is better or worse than Bloody Mary's tarantula.]
He won't hurt my cat, right?
no subject

Malibu said it was their employee lounge.
no subject
What? Really? [.........] Oh, fuck, did we eat someone's cookies?
[why is this what you're concerned about]
no subject
...Cosmopolitan's.
[He looks a bit sheepish for half a second.]
Want to take them some more later? I don't know how to bake cookies, though...
no subject
I don't either, but I'll be honest, I don't think they care. We can try something.
[...] Where'd you get the cat from?
no subject
[Oh no. Cosmo. Please.
He glances at the cat, reaching up to scritch it around one ear. It seems chill; it sits there to enjoy it.]

It won't bother you. You can pet it, too.
no subject
the hand plays dead. it does the curl up like a dead spider thing as gideon absolutely babies this kitty.]
no subject
Well, he just reaches into the hood to grab a hold of this dead spider skellie hand. To pull it out, of course.]
Why do you guys have so many bones?
no subject
no, it can't like, stop him from picking it up, though it does squirm in a sort of indignant way. how dare you! put me down i am the night!!! gideon doesn't seem to care.]

Oh. You're a bunch of boners.
