Neko-Jin HQ

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo tried to wrap her brain around what Scientia had said.

"I still don't get it..." She replied, looking as confused (if not more confused) as before. "If any of us miss, won't the glass fall and break?"

Then her face brightened with realization.

"Oh, I see!" She proclaimed, happy that she had figured it out. "You're saying that, if we miss, we can kiss the mirrors goodbye! A 'kiss stain' was just an expression for that."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Everybody sweat-drops, except Teacher's Pet. "We'll go with that."

[Teddy]

Genno thought, racking his brain... Then, typed in a seemingly random combination. 23145. "Crap... Crap... Crap...." If it doesn't work, he hops onto his bed, feigning sleep.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

It doesn't work, but he manages to get back into his bed as the group arrives.

Teacher's Pet opens the one-way mirrored door. "This is our guest room."

[Mitera Nikkou]

"It... Is...?" Tetsuo asked, incredulous, before muttering, "Seems more like jail cells..."

Her nose picks up a strange smell, and her eyes eventually spot some bars that were discolored, and shaped oddly.

"Why does that," she points to the bars that were incongruent with the rest while saying, "look different...?"

More or less, after having an idea of the catgirls' eccentricity, she wasn't of the mind to think of the worst possibilities of the situation yet.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Teacher's Pet looks to the group. "I didn't do it."

Catnip and Scientia look towards her, while Rose examines the bars. Catnip looks her in the eye. "I think the lady doth protest too much. How can we know you didn't want to designate him a 'fail'?"

Scientia looks at the lock, and punches in the combination. 53826. Neko shrugs silently to Genno, and mouthes. "I was close."

Teacher's Pet pokes Catnip Three Stooges style. "Because if I HAD, he would not be sleeping in his cell with a mere pencil in one arm."

Catnip plops down on the ground, and rubbs her eyes. "Ow, good point.

Scientia looks to Neko. "Neko, I would like to introduce you to a friend of ours. This is Tetsuo-Chan."

Neko smiles at Tetsuo. "Gee, you have the same name as a friend of mine! And look like you could be his sister!"

Meanwhile, Rose is examining the bars still, and pondering what really caused it...

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo, becoming self-conscious and embarrassed, hid behind Scientia.

"H-hi, uh... Neko..."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Neko bends to look at Tetsuo better, but then hits the bars with her shoulders, making a 'donk' sound. She bends again. 'donk.' She bends sideways. 'donk'. That was her...attributes. She sighed, let out a deep breath, and got her hands through. Then she tried to pull herself through, but....

"Help! I'm Stuck!"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Concerned about Neko, Tetsuo leaves Scientia's shadow and moves to assist her.

"H-here... Let me help..."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Neko's problem is simple. Her breasts are too big for the bars!

Scientia looks at the glaring Catnip and Rose. "What? I made the bars as best I could!"

[Teddy]

Genno remained silent, trying to regain all he could of his surroundings... And nearly lost his cool laughing at Neko. He tried to listen to their conversation, inching towards the exit.

[Mitera Nikkou]

(OOC: Well, MoS, I hope you make it past Rose to get out of your cell, since I imagine that her glare didn't remove her from being in front of the bars, which happen to be the exit from your cell. XD)

"No, wait..." Tetsuo told Neko, gently resting her hands on Neko's shoulders. "You'll never get unstuck that way... I don't think your... Um... Breasts will allow any more quarter for that..."

Of course, while Tetsuo pushed Neko down the bars so her feet could touch the floor, she knew that she'd rather pull her out of the jail cell if she could have. She was beginning to suspect what was going on (although not the entire situation, by a longshot), but she decided to not say or do anything until she thought of a good time to.

"Okay, are you ready?" She asked of Neko. "When I start to push, wriggle around to help slide back out of the bars."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Nikkou's plan works, and soon enough Neko is back in her cell. Scientia moves over to it with the key, but does not swipe it yet. "Um, before we let you go, we wanted to ask if you'd help us with our plan. You see, we're all one big family..."

Neko nods. "Yeah. I remember. One big, loving family. Why?" When she says why, she gets a funny look on her face.

Scientia smiles. "Well, we plan to make it bigger. We'll make the whole city part of our family! You see, Tetsuo-chan here doesn't really have active nanobots, thanks to a bit of electricity. So, we plan to fix that."

Neko gasps. "YOU'RE GOING TO ELECTRIFY THE TOWN YOU FIEND!"

Scientia slaps her head, while Teacher's Pet smiles. "No. An Electromagnetic Pulse will easily have the same effect. And would prevent the police from interupting like last time."

Neko laughs. "Wouldn't work. You'd have to blow up a nuke to get that big of a pulse! What are you gonna do, rob a nuclear power..."

She sees that Scientia, Catnip, and Teacher's Pet are nodding, and realizes the horrible truth. "You are. You're going to steal a nuke, and detonate it, and then make everybody like us."

Scientia smiles. "That's the plan. And with the empathic connection, and such, we can virtually eliminate crime, and all that other stuff. People will have a good reason to get along. So what do you say? You with us."

Neko slides to the ground. "Just let me. Think about it. Wait. Active...Tetsuo-chan, are you Tetsuo-Kun, from the coffee shop?"

Meanwhile, Rose is busy looking over the bars, and her eyes dart to the inching Genno. Then she looks back at the bars, wondering how they got back, and then looks at the inching Genno. She doesn't realize he's just a little bit closer QUITE yet.

But her eyes do dart down to the lock, and she gets a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo turned her back to the cell, blushing and fidgeting.

"Um... Well..." She stuttered, her tail twitching near the bars.

Just a moment ago she had been considering the plans of her new family, and had been divided on what to do. On one hand, she thought it'd be great if there were a city of catgirls, and, on the other hand, she thought it'd be wrong to force people like that.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Neko looks at Tetsuo with a strange expression, one of curiosity, saddness, happiness, all at once. "Are you?"

Rose picks up the lock, and drops it. "Whah's the prisoner still in his cage when the lock is not on it...ah, poop." She moves for her weapon.
