((OOC: Not going to deny that. :lol: ))

*Teasy seems to be getting a kick out of talking about this, as if it's one of his favorite stories.*

I ain't gonna share too much detail about that for the sake of any kids who might be listening in, so I'll keep it brief. From what I was told, sometime after my oldest bro Bernard was born, my Mom Blackie was talking to Dad. They'd been married about three years by then, and she'd known about Dad's special ability since a decade prior, but one thing she wasn't sure about was if the gender change was... complete or not. Dad knew it was, of course--he'd paid too many visits to the hospital not to know it was--but he'd hadn't entirely convinced Mom of it yet. She wanted further proof.

So he convinced her to try a little "experiment". She basically shrugged and said "sure, okay". She wanted more kids anyhoo. So Dad swapped himself, then did the same to Mom, and stuff happened.

A couple months later, a chocolate-point Siamese kitten joined the family. >^_^< Dad had to stay female until after everything was said and done, but he'd finally managed to convince my Mom of the facts.

No kidding! *Sassafras laughs.* After something like that, I feel like it'd be hard not to believe!

Yeah, we're in agreement on that one. It's one of those things that makes life on Kittenoa bizarre whenever I talk to humans about it. Or semi-human, in your case. To us, it's just another day. All this AU-counterpart stuff is kind of pushing it, but interdimensional stuff is the Infinite Defense's thing, so that's another thing I've gotten used to.

Moving on to another topic, my own ability is tame compared to my dad's. I can use the stripes on my fur as projectile weapons, kind of like Batarangs. Watch.

*Teasy taps his arm and removes one of the stripes there, then chucks it away and watches as it lodges in the side of the booth point-first.*

Huh... *Sassafras looks at the boomerang in the wall, then at the spot on Teasy's arm where it came from.* So, are those actually made of your fur? Does it grow back?

It's easier to retrieve them before they dematerialize, but yeah. Left alone they can grow back within a few hours, so I'm not out of ammo for long.

When I first found out I could do that, I had no idea what was going on. You know how kids have these nervous habits, like chewing on their nails and what not? I used to try and twirl my fur around my fingers. My youngest sister liked to joke that I could get a career as a stylist, I was doing it so much. It stopped being funny to her one day when I gave her an inadvertent haircut by accidentally chucking three of my stripes past her.

...Though note that I said "to her". I found it hilarious. >^_^<

Heh, well, at least she didn't get hurt, right? Hair can always grow back...

That it can, that it can. *retrieves the stripe and replaces it* It helps that she's a Persian felinoid, so she has no shortage of it.

...Eh, why not? *takes his phone back out and brings up a new photo* I've already talked about my family a bit, may as well go all the way. Here's us as of this past January.


*The photo depicts eight felinoids standing outside what is probably a concert hall. At the back of the shot, Father!Abby is standing next to a (mostly) black-furred felinoid who could only be the "Blackie" Teasy had mentioned a short time ago. Teasy himself is at the far left of the picture, with casual clothes decked out in purple; his sunglasses are missing, allowing Sassafras to see that he has green eyes. Next to him is an orange tabby in indigo; a sharp-faced, chocolate-point Siamese in a copper-colored dress; another mackerel tabby, this one a little bit smaller than Teasy and dressed in maroon-colored clothes; a felinoid in silver of... indeterminable breed, given that his fur is a light green shade; and a positively stunning white Persian in a teal dress and assorted jewelry. While the parents are waving politely to the camera, their six children are making faces at each other and generally goofing off.*

*Several other things that should be noted: #1, while Teasy and his siblings are fully dressed, their parents are content with just their fur. Alien species, alien anatomy, alien standards. #2, given that Sassafras has done gigs at the Mungojerrie (off-camera) before, she may recognize the orange tabby as the "Chico" that was mentioned earlier.*

Wow, is that her in the teal dress? She's real pretty... Oh, I know that guy! *Sassafras points out Chico.* I've seen him performing at the Mungojerrie sometimes... That's Chico, right? You were talking about him before.

*Teasy nods when she inquires about his sister, then smiles when she points out Chico.*

Yep, that's my big bro. Makes his living as a pianist. He's done stuff like perform at nightclubs, concert halls, assorted entertainment venues... even had the chance to play alongside a symphony orchestra a few years back. Now that he's a legal adult by our standards, we've been trying to get him to sign with a recording label and start producing his own albums. *shrug* Dunno how that's going to work out yet.

Well, I always thought he was pretty good, so I bet he could totally go big if he wanted... Do you think he's gonna try, at least?

Ehh... I'm thinking 'yes', just because I think he's good at what he does. *points out his Persian sister* Sylvia even said that she'd talk to her manager and see if he could be part of the same label. I have a bet going with the rest of my siblings that Chico'll make his decision by October, so yeah. I'm sure things'll go great.

Her manager? So, is she a musician too?

*starts to shake his head, then reconsiders* Almost, almost. She's basically our equivalent to an idol singer. She'd pretty much always wanted to be one, so when someone scouted her at a talent show she jumped at the offer. Granted my sibs and I had to school her a bit first to make sure she was ready to deal with the stress and the fans, but she hasn't had any emotional breakdowns yet.

An idol? Yeah, I hear that can be pretty stressful... Still, that's amazing! You, Chico, Sylvia... It seems like your family's full of talented people.

Some of us turned out that way, yeah. Not all of us. *points out the Siamese* Alice thought about entering the show-biz, but decided to be a hairdresser instead. *gestures at the odd-colored sibling* Rudy went into bodybuilding. *...then at the other mackerel tabby* ...And Daniel's goal is to be a commentator at NASCAR races.

*removes his sunglasses, sets them aside, and idly looks up at the sky* Kind of makes me wonder what my oldest bro Bernard would have been if he'd still been around.
