It was a lovely day. Warm air, a cool breeze, and not to mention the nearly cloudless sky. Perfect all in all. The kit's owners were out on one of their many 'vacations' so he had a bunch of time to himself, which never tended to be a good thing. He slid through the cat flap and happily trotted down the street. Today seemed like a wonderful day to visit the Jellicles. It wasn't a long walk to the junkyard, but when he got there, Meringue didn't really see anybody. Odd. Usually the Jellicles were out and about. He glanced around with hope that maybe he'd see Bombalurina. But, nope. Sighing, he kicked up some dirt at his feet and wandered around aimlessly. As he kicked up the dirt however, something shiny came into his sight. A piece of a small silver streamer it looked like. His eyes grew wide and he reached down to pick up the pretty thing. As he did though, the wind picked it up instead, sending it spiraling in the air and floating away. Quickly the yellow kit chased after it, not paying attention to where he was going of course, just looking up at the shiny.

Caspar was sitting on top of a car in the sun, wishing that he had use of his foot, and that he had thought a bit more carefully about coming up here. Jellylorum had helped him up, but without help again he couldn't get back down.
So he sat, arms crossed, and annoyed, as a silver streamer went flying in front of his eyes. He reached out, and barely managed to snag it out of the air before sitting back and admiring it.
Kind of pretty...

And suddenly, out of nowhere, the shiny was gone! Meringue tried to stop running, but had built up so much momentum, that his 'skid to a halt' turned into a 'trip and face plant into the ground'. He lay there for a few seconds, trying to comprehend what had just happened. With a groan he pushed himself up and regained his footing. He brushed all the dirt from his clothes, and looked around, maybe no one had seen him.... He was all too unaware of the cat sitting up on the car.

Caspar's ears twitched as he heard a thump from the ground below the car. He pulled himself to the edge and looked over, seeing a kit brushing himself off. He didn't say anything, but just stayed leaning over the side of the car, hands cradling his face. He didn't know the other kit, and he was never really one to initiate conversation.

He was about to give up and go home when he happened to notice the other cat. It didn't register in his mind at first. He just stood there staring. When he did finally realize that, yes, it was indeed another feline, he jumped. "Where did you come from!?" he shouted, quite odd for him really. He was usually very soft spoken and quiet.

Caspar frowned, "what's it to ya?" He leaned a bit further over the edge of the car to see the other a bit more clearly, "anyways, I could ask you the same. What happened to you? Get blown away by a strong gust of wind or somethin'?"

Meringue pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. His long feathery tail swayed back and forth, just above the dusty ground. "I've just... never seen you around here before..." he mumbled, looking away. "I saw something pretty... so I was trying to get it... and I tripped," he explained.

Caspar reached into his pocket for the silver streamer he had caught, and held it in front of him. "It wasn't this was it? he asked, not entirely sure why he cared enough to bother. "Anyways I'm...well...new or somethin'. Just got in last night."

The yellow kit's eyes brightened as he looked at the streamer, "Yes yes!" he squealed. He hopped up onto the car and sat next to the strange newcomer. He stared at him with his big kitten eyes. He really did seem much younger than he actually was. "Just got in? From where?"

Post by Caspar on Oct 28, 2011 20:33:39 GMT -5
Caspar handed the object over to the other before answering, "from nowhere really...just the streets." He pulled himself back to his original position, wincing slightly as his ankle dragged on the hood of the car.
He looked at the other again, he looked like he was older, but he acted like he was much younger than Caspar.

Meri happily took the bit of streamer and gazed at it, twirling it around between his fingers. He was in such awe of it, he barely even heard what the other was saying. He replied with a simple, "Oh..." He then placed the streamer in his pocket and focused on the other cat. "So, you got a name?"

Caspar looked at the other, slightly confused, it was just a streamer, why was it so intriguing to him? He conveniently ignored the fact that just a couple minutes before he had been doing the exact same thing.
"Caspar," he said, slightly quieter than he had been. Normally he wasn't very good at talking to others, but for some reason, he was doing just fine with this slightly strange cat.

Meri raised a brow. Odd name. "My name is Meringue, my owners' daughters named me," he smiled. He leaned in, totally avoiding personal space, "Who named you?" Before he got an answer he was already focusing on something else. He really had no attention span. He looked out at the junkyard, eyes scanning for any cat that he might know.

Caspar leaned back as the other moved in, slightly awkward. "You have owners?" he asked cocking his head, "then why do you come here?"
"My...well, my parents named me," he said in response to Meringue's question.

Her ears perk happily as she hears two unfamiliar voices coming from the top of the car; they sounded young (and unfortunately male). She smiles to herself, she had been worried she was going to spend another boring day alone, especially considering the beautiful weather. Her knee length yellow polka-dot dress sways gently in the breeze as she skips up to the back of the car. A wicked grin spreads across her lips as she decides that now would be the perfect time to practice her hunting skills. She crouches and attempts to sneak up on the two, trying not to make too much noise (then again, she wasn't the most skilled of hunters). She scrambles up the car as she yells "BOO!" in an attempt to scare the two males. She laughs to herself and rolls onto the car, careful not to touch the boys, because she didn't want to catch their boy germs.
"Ohai hai! I'm Sillabub! Who are you? Are you new? I haven't seen you around before, so you must be new. Or maybe you've been hiding and this is the first time I've seen you. Why would you hide from me? I'm not scary...well, not usually. BUT YES! I'm Sillabub...wait, I've said that already...haaaaai!" She blabbers quickly, waving her paw enthusiastically as she sits up and tilts her head.

Meringue opened his mouth to reply to Caspar, but instead of words, he emitted a high pitched squeal of shock. He jumped, his fur sticking out on end. He looked like a big fuzzball. He instinctively crouched down into a defensive position. He was blinded by pure terror for a moment, but was calmed when he saw it was just a little female kitten. Blushing heavily, he smoothed down his ruffled coat and sat back down.

Caspar mearely raised an eyebrow at the arrival of still another young kit. She really wasn't very sneaky, and he heard her from a mile away, though he did crack a grin at Meringue's reaction.
As the words came rushing out of her mouth he looked at her with a cocked head and wide eyes, "you talk too fast..."

She giggles happily at Meringue's reaction, she hadn't expected a reaction like that. No one is ever scared of her.
"Wow wow wow, I think you're the first cat I've ever scareded, at least in a long long time, yay yay yay!"
She claps happily to herself. It wasn't so much that he was terrified, it was more she accomplished something that rarely happens.
She looks to the other cat and mimics his posture, head tilted.
"Oh oh, do I? You know, lots of everyones says that, but I don't know, just something I do I guess, lots to say, so little time...OOPS, sorry! Ummm...." She tries to slow her words but struggles due to the excitement of other cats.
"So whatcha doing? And who are you? And where are you from? And why are you here? Not that it matters, the more cats the merrier, especially ones who are my age or close enough, the adults NEVER want to play." She pouts at the end of her speech.
"Oh yeah, talking too fast again, sorry again...umm, meow?" She shrugs, silencing herself for a moment.

Meringue stayed fairly quiet, feeling rather embarrassed. He looked down and mumbled, "I'm from down the road a bit.... I live with my humans..." He idly combed his fingers through his tail as he talked, "My name's Meringue..." What a weird girl. She was so... unqueen-like? She didn't have the spectacular beauty and grace of someone like... say, Bombalurina.

Caspar blinked again, the confidence that he had with Meringue going away slightly now that there was someone new with them.
"Caspar," he said softly, pulling his uninjured leg up to his chest. "I don't live here...or...anywhere really."

She wiggles as she waits for them to speak, rocking gently from side to side as she rarely sat still.
"Ohh ohh ohh! I have humans too! Seeeeeeee?" She tugs on the tag on her collar to show him, proving her point, but making sure she did not get too close to him.
She looks to the Caspar as he introduces himself, ears drooping with sadness momentarily. "Oh, that's so sad, why don't you live anywhere? I'm sure you can live here, they're great here! Have you asked anyone? 'Cause I can't really make any decisions or anything, I'm not in charge...at least not last time I checked I wasn't." She ponders before beaming again. "BUT YES, no one has no home, there's a place for everyone!" She bounces happily, being her normal optimistic self. She generally could not understand the bad side of the world, in her mind everything should be happy.

The yellow kit backed away slightly. He was kind of scared of this chick. She was so... weird. Hyperactive and noisy. Almost like the children he himself lived with. He liked them, but maybe that was because they were humans. Sighing, Meringue stared straight at Sillabub. He didn't say anything, but just stared at her with his big hazel eyes. He stayed like that for a few moment before saying, "You're loud."

"I dunno," Caspar said responding to Sillabub, "I mean, Munkustrap and Jellylorum said I should stay until my ankle heals."
He looked to Meringue, giggling slightly at his comment.

She does not notice Meringue back away, however as she stares back at him with wide green eyes, before pulling a derpy face at his comment.
"Oh? Ah yeah, they all say that, I reckons they're just really sensitive. Oh wait, you said I'm loud, I mean...how's this?" She drops her voice to a loud, obviously-trying whisper. "Is this better? I'll try this from now on, ok?" She continues to loudly whisper. She had not taken offence at his words as this was not the first time she had heard it.
As Caspar mentions his healing ankle, her ears perk up and her eyes widen as she looks to the injured appendale. "OH NO, what happened to you!? Are you ok?" She returns her volume to normal before clasping her hands over her mouth. "Oh oh, sorry Meringue, I forgotted..." She whispers loudly again, shooting an apologetic look to him.

He shook his head and sighed. He wasn't even going to try to explain that it wasn't the volume level, but the quantity of words. He was a bit curious about Caspar's situation. He turned his attention to the other tom-kit. He hadn't even realized that anything was wrong.

Caspar almost flinched as the attention went back to him. He hadn't realized that not everyone would know about how he had come to be at the junkyard to begin with. He didn't really feel like saying either.
"I fell when I first got here," he said, not looking at either of the others, "messed up my ankle or somethin'. It'll be fine in a week or two...it's not a big deal."

She stares straight at Caspar with concern as he explains his situation. She gasps,
"Oh no, that's terrible!" She expresses at normal volume. "Do you need me to get you anything? Are you being looked after? I can help, I think, don't know nothing about injuries and stuff but yeah." She blabbers.

Meringue tilted his head with curiosity. He fell? Cats weren't supposed to get hurt when they fell. Was there something wrong with him? "How did you fall?" the yellow kit asked as he gazed at Caspar's leg.

"What?" Caspar said to the young queen, "no...I don't need nothin' Jellylorum is takin' care of me." He turned away as he said this, slightly abashed at needing someone to take care of him in the first place.
As Meringue spoke, he straightened up, "I just fell," he said, perhaps a bit too quickly. "Got my leg caught. It ain't a big deal."

She inches a little closer to Caspar in concern, though still far enough so she wouldn't catch his boy-germs.
"Oh oh oh, that's good good good! Jellylorum is one of the bestest at taking care of us!" She grins happily, clapping her paws together softly. She liked Jellylorum, even though she had to be sneaky when exploring the outside territory as it was 'forbidden' for some reason.
Her attention quickly flicks to Meringue, her eyes wide. "Your ears are amazing." She genuinely remarks in regards to his curled ears, before looking back to Caspar.
