The usualy quiet Cat town was a buzz with activity today, many of the felines out and about at night instead of in their beds fast asleep. Word had spread about the books that had been found, and most of the citizens were rather curious as to what they contained as the flocked towards the Town Hall.
Arano walks over towards the rather obviously named 'Cat Town', checking his comm unit to review the information about the job, muttering to himself, "Okay, so, retrieve books for scanning... and try not to wreck the place this time... honestly, you'd think with that last one Zephyr doesn't trust me anymore or something..." He then finds himself a spot in the town square - looking visibly out of place in his distinctive draconic form. Rather than being dressed in camoflage and looking for a fight, he wears simple t-shirt and jeans, though brings along his rifle because, well, the apocalypse IS still on last he checked. Standing around in the square, he waits for the other members of the party to show up, wondering who he'd be working with this time.
A town? For cats? Dio runs through a small mental checklist. Fuzzy? Check. Clawed? Check. Barbed for her pleasure? Check. A love of naps? Chhhhhheck! With his typical semi-formal attire, the silver lion had already given the place a good once-over before the mission even started. Talk about convenience. Finding a nice park bench, he leans back a little and rests his eyes, eventually devolving to a mighty snore and a trip to dreamland where images of catgirls and lioness assault his mind with their splendor. However, this fantastic adventure shatters as a ball of yarn slams into his head, causing the feline to shoot out of his seat and look around. "Ah! Yes! Books," he says, trying to pretend he wasn't a victim of a catnap. "Of course."
The gates are swung open once more with the telltale creaks of being ramshackle jury-rigged piles of crap! This is immediately followed by a series of POP-POPs as Cookies begins pulling out small confetti popper guns, firing them off and tossing them away only to quickdraw more just as quickly. "MOMMY'S HOME!" She declares at top volume before striding forwards, discarding the last couple of guns. "Those were gonna degrade soon so I had to do something with them you see," she explains to one of the various feline passer-bys turning their heads and waving to her, hopefully used to her 'unique' methods of entering the town. There was this one time with molotovs, though-- Well, anyway, the cat makes her way into town hall and takes the podium which seems to have been rigged into something more of a judge booth, waiting for her citizens to assemble.
A storm dragon trots into Cat Town, peering around with open curiosity and fascination. It isn't so much that Acetyl finds Cat Town itself so interesting - although the sexless mutant has never been here before. Rather, Acetyl is being drawn by the tantalizing rumor of books. It was just a happy bonus that Zephyr had asked it to help with the retrieval - even if they hadn't, Acetyl would still have shown up if at all possible. A grin of anticipation splits the broad, heavy muzzle as the mutant prowls this way and that, exploring. After a few minutes, Acetyl spots a gathering cluster of people, one or two of whom it recognizes as fellow Zephyr agents. Figuring that's likely the place to be - or if it isn't, that those people will lead Acetyl to it soon enough -- the storm dragon heads on over, nearly bouncing on its padded paws with glee.
Nichole had been napping the night away until the commotion started in the town square, the cat girl lingering on in a tree she had been climbing because of something. It might have had to do with birds or perhaps some words that involved birds being the words. Oh right there were books to retrieve for Science! that she needed to look at tonight. The girl stretched out in her tree, nicely warmed in her large jacket and looked down across the gathering so far.
"Dragon, liony thing, " She muttered to herself as she appraised everyone. The mayor was here with his usual large entrance although truth be told she was rather disappointed there wasn't a bigger gun used to make a tree into sawdust. The lion beast was rather large, not as big as the solar dragon but still bigger than her, and would make the perfect target for her latest bit of not nyasty teasing.
Her feet and hands rested on the limb, claws on her fingers digging in a bit as she tensed her legs up and finally shouted out. "Stealth Ninja Science Kitten Jumping Hidden Attack From Beyond The Heavens!" Once her attack name had been shouted out, assured no one could possibly anticipate it thanks to having both Science and ninjas involved, she lept forward toward Dio. The Lion was just too good of a target to pounce with a nice tackling hug from above.
Slithering into town on her tendrils, the black latex plant enjoys the darkness. With a slow overlook at most of the gathering, Savi decides to head for Dio rather than the gathering congregation. Though she fully supported Cat Town, it was more for her liking of Cookies than a desire to spend a lot of time here. Deciding foremost to cut to the chase she slides stealthfully towards the reclining creature. "Hi." she says softly, hand digging into her pocket. "This may get out of hand fast Deeoh. Savi has an idea." with that she pulls out a couple dozen napkins and a grease pencil. "Savi remembers the library."
Fenris is DYING of curiosity. Which is strange. Being in Cat Town brings out all the cat weirdness in him. It's probably the nip that floats subtly through the air. Hmmm… nip… NO! He shrugs his his shoulders to straighten his long duster and takes a deep breath trying to suppress his inner kitty-kat. Those books could be important. History, technical knowledge, forgotten legends or occult rites, they could be very, very important in this crazy world and it won't help anyone if he can be distracted by a laser pointer. He squares his shoulders and puts his business face on as he joins the crowd at the town hall.
Nytas approches the gate to the town of cats slightly distracted as she tries to fight her heat after her expiriance last night. "o...ok" as she recollects her thoughtss for a bit, "Orders were to pick up some old books and return. Tho why they sent a medic if it was going to be a peaceful one, ill never know." lost in thought she bumps into Arano who was waiting. "off..." as she notices. "oh im sorry..." as she picks herself up. "Zyphere Staff medic Nytas reporting." as she re adjusts her Rifle straped to her back and her med kit at her waste, wearing nothing but a vest with a red cross on it, A collor with a tag,also with a red cross on it engraved with: Nytas and under it : Field medic, and a pair of shorts that seemed uncomfortable to those who looked at her.
The Mayor returns! Many of her citizens rejoices, those that don't are way to busy enjoying the catnip they found, oh those nip addicts. Then the rest of the group is noticed, many of the felines turning to regard them with curious looks...That is until a ball of yarn rolls by.
Arano turns to glance down at the fox girl, who he took to be rather nervous, he chuckles a bit at the field medic, "Calm down there... Nytas? This isn't the military, and pretty sure I'm not the one in charge... though I tend to notice that Zephyr doesn't really establish chain of command, they seem to just throw clumps people at problems until somebody comes back alive - but they pay well so can't complain. Anyway, on this one I think I'll defer to..." he then turns towards the lion, just in time to hear the 'sneak attack' declare itself very, very loudly, "...Dio..." watching as the scene unfolds and not really sure how to respond.
