Arriving on the island

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

The Baba Yaga hut that she had borrowed from Master Paine's Circus attracted a lot of stares as it walked down the causeway that connected the island with the mainland. Agatha did not care however. She missed Krosp and she missed Lars and she even missed Zeetha, the self-defense lunatic. But, the Baron had gotten too close, had almost caught up to her, and this seemed like a nice enough place to hide for a while.

As the hut on chicken legs walked across the island and down the streets, Agatha kept a careful eye out for Minotaur Lane. The mayor of this town had responded back to her inquiry telling her that number 49 was empty and she was all set to take it over and locate her shop there.

Once the correct building had been spotted, Agatha swung out of the hut, and went to explore her new digs. A number of rather small metal critters followed her carrying various bits of luggage and scrap metal.

[come gawk at the walking house, come help unload, come gawk at the rather busty young woman. Or just stop by to say hi.]

The Baron, on one of his strolls through Fandom, spotted something moving along the streets. Was that the moving castle he had heard of? Keeping his hat firmly in place and with moves that would impress the lithest of ninjas, leapt to the nearest rooftop. Not quite the moving castle he had thought. Still.

He leapt down onto the street before the busty woman and bowed. "Good evening."

Agatha stopped her inspection of the outside of the house to stare slightly at the talking cat.

"Evening." She curtseyed, just in case it was yet another Emperor of all Cats.

"I find myself to be the one to say welcome to Fandom, though I have only just arrived myself," he said. "I am Baron Humbert von Gikkingen, though most call me simply Baron."

Agatha looked around nervously at the mention of the word 'Baron'.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Baron. I am Agatha Heterodyne Clay, and well, i just got here." She paused briefly. "Are you in any way associated with Krosp?"

[gikkingen.livejournal.com]

"A pleasure, Miss Clay." The Baron's little furry brow furrowed. "Krosp? That is a name I am unfamiliar with. Is it a person or an organisation? Or a city, perhaps?"

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Krosp is a cat. Well, he says he is the Emperor of All Cats, as that is what he was made for. He is a construct, that why he can talk. "

The Baron frowned. "Perhaps I should contact Lune. He should know of this." he looked back up at her. "King Lune of the Kingdom of Cats. Although perhaps we aren't speaking of the same kingdom. An admirable boy, although maybe still too young for his position."

"Perhaps different kingdoms. Where i am from, cats do not talk, except Krosp. And he was not so much a success, as he apparently was not very good at leading without opposible thumbs." Not to mention the 'herding cats' aspect of it all

The Baron held up a neatly gloved hand. "As you can see, I was created with opposable thumbs. The Kingdom of Cats seems to do very well without them, though. And cats do have a tendency to talk only to each other." He hands her a very small business card. "The Cat Business Office. I specialise in human-animal mediation for that precise reason."

[[And insert the mun passing out.]]

Agatha studied the hand being shown to her.

"Oh. That is sovery wonderful. How were you created?"

She took the tiny card and looked at it. Human-animal mediation? Does that come up often?

"I will keep you in mind then." She smiled as she put the card away in her pocket.
