CAF: Heh heh.

-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot, [CTO,]  unrelated to everyone, is poking the pistols. --
CPW: WWWWWWWWhat happened?
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  scratches her head awkwardly, staying quiet. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  looks at FA, as if asking "WHAT SAY?" --
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  takes a deep breath. --
CFA: ...She passed away.  Heroically.
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  sniffles again...But seems somewhat placated by this.' --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  nods. --
CAF: It was quite...tragic, rearrly.
CPW: 2niff.
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  hugs her little (adopted) kitten! --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  hugs back tightly. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  continues hugging and pets PW's head a little. --
CPW: ...WWWWWWWWhat about my Daddy?

CAF: ...No matter what, you'rrl arrlways be my rrlittrrle kitten.
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  purrs, loudly. --
CAF: ...I'm, sorry you had to find out about it rrlike this.
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  continues purries, and cries quietly. --
CPW: *purring
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  leans towards AF. --
CFA: Do...You still have pictures of them around somewhere?
CAF: Of course.
CAF: I can, um, go get them.
CFA: Okay...I only have pictures of him with Kip, heh...
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  hugs PW tighter, taking her from AF gently. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  gets up. --
-- CURRENT twinPistols [CTP]  projects a 3d hologram of Diem and Iustia. --
CAF: I'rrl be back in just a minute, arrlright kitten?
-- CURRENT twinPistols [CTP]  does nothing. --
CPW: Okay, Momma...
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  nods and gets up. Pretty soon, she returns with a box, opening it. She pulls out one picture out of a small pile. It's, of course, Iustia and Diem. They're holding hands and generally looking quite happy. It was probably a moirail-y thing, but being AF, the way she took it makes it look quite ship-y. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  hands it to PW. --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  looks down at it, looking at them both closely.  She continues sniffling...She even paws at them a bit sadly and squeaks. --
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  reassuringly strokes her hair. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  does this as well, sitting behind her and hugging her from behind so she can still look at it while doing so. --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  whimpers again.  She misses them already, and she's never met them. --
-- CURRENT twinPistols [CTP]  projects a hologram of DR. She's smiling. --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  solemnly turns, presumably hearing the hologram turn on.  ...Sniff.  She looks at it.  FA does too. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  looks at it as well. --
CTP: While I cannot accurate view alternate timelines, I have run the calculations and were she here, there is approximately a 100% chance of her wanting to embrace you in a maternal manner.
CTP: Give or take 0%.
CPW: ...
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  smiles a little. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  smiles a rrlitrrle. --
-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot [CTO]  looks a bit lost, being...well...out of the loop. --
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  gets up and attends to the other kitten, picking her up and purring. --
-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot [CTO]  is picked up. --
-- CURRENT twinPistols [CTP]  The DR projection flickers for a moment, showing a robot where the projection should be when FA and AF look away. It looks like DR... and it mouths, at PW: "I love you." --
CTO: Mommy...?
CFA: Yeah?
CTO: What's going on?
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  blinks at the hologram. --
-- CURRENT twinPistols [CTP]  The hologram flickers out. --
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  nuzzles and purrs very loudly, kissing TO's forehead. --
-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot [CTO]  nuzzles back. --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  makes a grabbing motion as the hologram fades, for a brief moment.  She mumbles very quietly... --
CPW: ...don't go...
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  starts crying again. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus, [CAF,]  having still been hugging AF, hugs PW even tighter.  --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  hugs back, sobbing loudly. --
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  quietly moves TO out of the room. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  just continues hugging, a shoulder to cry on for PW, some psuedo-motherly comfort. --
CFA: Everything's fine, kitten...Your sister just needs a little bit...
-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot [CTO]  looks quite worried. --
CTO: Why was she crying, though?
CFA: ...I'll tell you later.  Nothing's actually 'wrong' as such.  *PURRRRRRRR*
-- CURRENT tempestuousOcelot [CTO]  hugs her mommy. --
CTO: A-alright.
-- CURRENT feralAncient [CFA]  hugs back --
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  continues sobbing, slowly quieting down a bit but still pretty distraught. --
-- CURRENT attractionFaustus [CAF]  just pats and pets PW a little. She doesn't know what to say, really, just...wants to be comforting. --
CPW: ...i mi22 them arrlready...
CAF: ...I'm sorry.
-- CURRENT planarWyvern [CPW]  squeeeeeeeeeeeeeezes, nuzzling. --
