Cat Rescue

| characters | One lost cat, her owner and the adventurers of the tree!

| date/time | Wednesday afternoon

| location | Outside the Tree, Mist Barrier

| rating | None

| summary | Someone has come looking for their best friend.


After two weeks with a cat hanging around the Tree, seemingly lost and hungry, today her savior will arrive!

...in the form of a little girl, no older than six. Struggling her way through the foliage outside, this small child can be seen outside the mist, alone and on a very special quest. Her determined face changes into a gasp of joy as she sees her little friend lying in the grass, safe and sound.

"Mittens!" Hurrying over and picking her cat up, the young gently strokes her precious pet's fur and nuzzles her face. The absolute happiness is easily picked out even through the haze of the mist. "I knew the faeries would protect you!"


Carefully holding on to her cat, the little girl leans down, digging around in the pockets of her cute little dress. Taking out a handful of things, she very carefully puts them down on a large piece of bark. "Thank you, fairies! I'm gonna tell my dad I was right!" Putting the piece of bark in the stream, she then giggles and waves excitedly. Then she is scooping her cat back up in her arms, almost big enough to drag on the ground but still purring in joy.

Slowly, the bark boat starts to float towards the mist, passing through into the Tree's area.

Arno actually then started taking a look at their new "wares". He picked up the mood ring and raised an eyebrow on it. Well, this is certainly useful.

Sarcasm, no it wasn't.

Still though, he would expect a small child to give such things. Normal small children; that also happened to be grateful so he couldn't scoff at the gestures, as innocent and naive as they were.

He noticed Fuu, and expected to have a chat about this. About how he felt. She spoke a generic topic for the scene they just witnessed. Arno could do generic, he gave a hesitant smirk.

"Tell me about it," he replied. "To think actual people were around here."

"It raises a number of further questions, as though we didn't have enough to contend with," she sighed. "It sounds like this girl's father doesn't believe in us--either that we exist, or that we would help. But who is that family? Do they have anything to do with the tree? Is this, in fact, Earth?" She hoped the answer to that last one wasn't yes, if only because it exacerbated questions she was already worried about in regards to Japanese history.

She placed her hand on the mood ring, watching as the stone around her hand warmed gradually to blue. For a girl that age, this was probably a treasured possession. "And it's evidently an industrialized society," she added. Dollhouse objects, marbles, and thread could be found in several historical eras, but mood rings were a decidedly twentieth-century object.
