Who: Rita and YOU!
When: Day 28-29
Where: Around Rita's trailer.
What: Someone left catnip at Rita's trailer, cuteness commences, also general in-between-event stuff for anyone who wants it!

[home videos / open]

Passing through the trailer yard, one might find Rita crouched outside Trailer 19. Her wings seem to be missing several feathers, but beyond that, she appears to be unharmed and in good health despite all the recent chaos.

In fact, she's actually... having... fun?

The space just outside the trailer door appears to be heavily sprinkled with catnip and mint, and her Litten, Francis, purrs up a storm as he rolls around in it. Rita appears to be filming his adorable antics with a handheld video camera, grinning all the while. She doesn't immediately notice if someone else happens to be nearby.

[wildcard!]

Alternatively, Rita might be seen around the carnival, reading a book she picked up in Wismuth, putting the finishing touches on a thick manuscript she's been writing, or just hanging around the training grounds, trailer park, or cookhouse. If you want to do something else with Rita, feel free to tag with a different starter, or hit me up on plurk (pzue) to plot!

Yuya laughs as he tightens his grip, but stops pulling against Francis' grasp. He'll get tired eventually. "Too bad, right?"

He wouldn't have minded keeping Creation's power a little longer. Even if Creation doesn't need him still... but he also knows wishing for it won't turn things back.

He glances up. "Are your wings doing better?"

Is it too bad...? Even though Rita was happy to talk with her cat, she doesn't feel too disappointed now that it's over. If anything, she feels more confident than ever that she and Francis understand each other well, even without exchanging words.

She nods at his question, then flexes her wings outward in an experimental gesture, showing the uneven rows of feathers. "There's no serious damage, and the feathers are starting to grow back in. Might take a while, but they'll be good as new in a few weeks."

[hippocarnival]

"That's good." He's relieved to hear it's not serious at least, and gives the pendulum another hard tug. Hm, maybe this wasn't as good of an idea as he thought.

He draws his other hand back as he watches Francis, scrunching his nose. Cats like long, wiggly toys, so... he moves his tail, arcing it around and slowly swaying the tip in front Francis, a pounce away. Maybe this will distract him from his pendulum. "How long has he been playing in this?"

[anti_nonsense]

Seeing the tail, Francis tenses suddenly, watches it... then lets go of the pendulum and swipes at it.

"On and off since we got back from Wismuth. I don't know if it's too much stimulation for him, but..." She shrugs. "It's probably fine, for now. He's earned some time to relax."

[hippocarnival]

Success! Yuya grasps his pendulum tight to his palm as he pulls it back. And gets his tail smacked instead, twitching as Francis' paw grazes it.

"No, I just meant he still has a lot of energy." He pulls his tail up higher, hopefully harder for Francis to get to. Although that's also a good point--can you give a cat too much catnip? They usually gave Core those toys or scratching posts with it, so it wasn't a huge concern. "But he's a Pokemon, right? So I guess he's not exactly the same as an ordinary cat."
