Oooh... Lookie Auntie! A little kitty.

BabyMetal

A land-shark kitten! Destiny delivered in fleece.

Meow?

Meta-Gurl

BabyMetal, that stray's probably carrying narrative fleas.

BabyMetal

But look—he's already cosplaying! He's one of us!

momo

{I identify as predator, not plushie.}

Meta-Gurl

Now BabyMetal, you know we can't take random animals off the server's streets... Even if they're adorable.

{Retreat is impossible; costume restricts leg movement!}

BabyMetal

But AUTNIE! Look at him, he's so cute. Pweeaassee!

momo

{This stranger is soft and gentle. I like their vibes.}

Meta-Gurl

Fine—but the first retcon he sheds, I'm turning him into a keychain.

BabyMetal

Deal! Come on, Shark-Miku, let's find you a stage mic!

momo

{Careful, auntie; cats remember who threatened them.}
