I don't even know how to answer that haha
big, I guess

What did you talk about?

I was wondering whether some people I knew were already a part of it or not yet
asked for some random trivia
it always has the best random trivia, it knows so much
my aunt was always like that's a 'flagrant' 'display' of 'disrespect' 'for the greatest and most sacred being in the universe'
but she already came to visit so probably I'm never getting yelled at about that again

huh
that's kind of sad
like not really but I'm allowed to be nostalgic about random shit right now
even when it's like objectively bad

Makes sense to me.

yeah
you're starting to get the very teensiest bit hard to understand
we still have a couple minutes but I bet you're gonna start to come down in a bit
do you have any questions you wanna prioritize before then
on your learning adventure

This is going to sound weird, but have you seen any cat souls? I couldn't find them but it's possible they're there and more obvious from your perspective?

you're right that does sound weird
I have not
you should ask the One about that
or I guess I could do that real quick for you if you're shy or whatever

If you could that would be great.

'kay

huh
it does not know of any cat souls
but it does know of a couple hundred stars
like the literal ten-sided glowy things on the shell of the universe, not dead people
that don't have attached souls
at least that it can tell
and it's really sure that there wouldn't be new stars without corresponding people dying
and also that human souls would never not be findable by it
so it doesn't know what's up with those
that's probably not what you're looking for but woo trivia I guess

That's really interesting! I think I'll use the rest of this trip to see if I can find those.

Can he find those?

okay seeya
probably not seeya, huh
this was cool tho
stay safe

He cannot.

He tries a few different ways, but he's running out of time and he can go back later.

He descends. Cricket is purring on his lap and Cricket gets petted.

It appears he is one of the people who omnilol makes slightly drowsy.  Nothing a little coffee won't fix.

Mmmm, coffee. (Cricket tastes it and does not like it at all.) He reads an intro to feline veterinary care for demons till dawn's approaching, then scoops Cricket and flies to the meeting place; it's still dark enough that's probably safe.

Fireheart is there waiting for him.

"Good morning!"

"Greetings.  I have spoken to the other Clans about you.  And who is this?"

"This is Cricket! Cricket, this is Fireheart."

"That's a stupid name."

"Man, you really don't let up with the being impolite, do you. I met Cricket at a shelter and he wanted to come with me."

"Alright.  Did you find anything out about whether prey are like cats?"

"I suspect that not only are they not, most cats aren't either. I think cats being able to talk is recent and local and traceable to a particular batch of catnip or something that got on that batch."

"That's very strange to think about, though it's good about the prey.  Do you still want to meet the other Clans or is that no longer necessary?"

"Oh, I'd still be happy to meet them, it's just no longer urgent that I be able to get them to make dietary sacrifices."

"I don't know enough about Twolegs to tell whether you want to go or are just okay with going."
