Caritas- Tuesday

Kitty might complain about the underwater stuff, but once she got the hang of it, she was digging parts of this week. She was getting really good at getting coins, and the pipe travel? Kinda fun. There was even one that came right into the bar, which was handy.

The zombies were even dressed in raccoon suits (unsure how they got them!) and were playing along with the theme music, so Caritas was just embracing the weird today.

[Open!]

On the one hand, Kanan was still stuck in a raccoon suit.

On the other hand, being stuck in a raccoon suit meant he didn't have to swim to Caritas tonight, he could just fly there. Convenient if ridiculous, sure. When he walked into the bar, he paused, squinted at the zombies, and then looked down at himself.

"Well, one of us is going to have to change."

Hi, Kitty. You'd mentioned you wanted to see this, and so, lo, a Kanan.

With a tail.

"You definitely make it look better," Kitty assured him, grinning. "That is adorable."

"You should see Stance," Kanan replied, grinning. "He got stuck in a frog suit yesterday, and I think he's finally over the sulk that it isn't his vest."

"It serves the same purpose," Kitty pointed out. "I'd say if want to see my dogs in that but I don't think they'd appreciate that."

"Probably not," Kanan replied, and then scratched behind one weird fluffy ear with a wry smile. "They're not uncomfortable things to wear, but I'm pretty sure the only way to get them off again is to get hurt by one of the creatures wandering outside, and I'm not letting Stance get bitten by a fish just so he can have a wardrobe change."

"Oh, that's what does it?" Kitty asked, frowning. "Is that why you're still a raccoon?"

Kanan wasn't pouting. Honest.

"I saw Sidon get reverted after a run-in in class yesterday, so that's what I figure, anyway. Either way, I'm not about to let a fish get the better of me."

He had his pride, dammit.

"Can't blame you. I got sent back home and I'm still annoyed about it," she admitted.

Though now she was attempting to make this level her bitch.

"I figure people are welcome to laugh at me for being a raccoon," Loth-cat, "this week, sure, but they also get to laugh at me if they see me and I'm not."

Because fish.

Fish.

"There's no shame in getting hit by a fish as a raccoon," Kitty said, just because she wanted to say that sentence.

"See," Kanan said, "you say this, but next thing you know I'll be in a frog suit."

To match his dog.

"And I think out of the two, the raccoon suit is the lesser of the evils, here."

He said. With a swish of his big stupid tail.

"I dunno, have you tried being a frog yet?" This was a genuine question.

"No," Kanan admitted. "But apparently raccoons can fly."

Which was news to him. But hey, he didn't hate it. Even if it was still kinda redundant.

Kitty blinked. "Like... how? Does your tail propel you or something?"

"... Yup."

Kanan shrugged.

"It's just as weird as it sounds."

Helicopter butt.

He had to know this question was coming.

"Can you do it on command?"

She wouldn't ask this of anyone when it came to their actual powers, but raccoon butt Fandom weirdness? Let's have it.

There was a long pause.

"... Maybe."

Yes. That was a yes.

"Could you do it now?" she asked sweetly.

Kanan sighed. Rolled his eyes. Smirked a little bit.

"Yeah, yeah, okay. There's no room to fly in here, but..."

Only for you, Kitty. Only for you was he going to kind of half-turn and give that tail a wag.

"... It's not all that different from when I was a cat, except that I still get thumbs."

He was a fan of thumbs.

"Did you fly as a cat?" This was important.

"No, but I had enough ego as a cat I'm pretty sure I half believed I could," Kanan offered.

"I don't mean metaphorically, I mean I really want to see someone propelled through the air by tail," Kitty said.

"Not inside your bar, you don't," Kanan replied, because he could absolutely see himself just... flying into a wall. "No room. This thing needs a running start. How's your roof?"

This was how you knew he loved you, Kitty.

"It's a good roof. Plenty of running space," she told him, nodding.

"Only for you, Kitty," Kanan said, "would I go running across the roof of the bar so that I can get enough momentum to take off flying via a big fluffy tail."

This was... mostly true!

"Okay, up to the roof, then."

"Up here!" Kitty said immediately, phasing through the bar to lead the way to the stairs up.

Maybe she'd look back to see if he flew up the stairs with his tail.

Kanan was not flying up the stairs with his tail, no. But he was definitely giving her an amused look as he followed along. Even raising one pixelated eyebrow at her and smirking, pretty sure he knew damn well why she was looking back as they went.

"I am definitely going to need a Kanan for this when we go back down there," he informed her.

The drink. Not, like, a weird pixel double or something.

"Gladly. You can have two if I can record it just to show Lexi in case it gets baby giggles," she said, opening the door to the roof.

"I'm pretty sure invoking the baby is cheating," Kanan informed her. And then a moment later added, "but go ahead. If it doesn't get baby giggles now, it probably will someday."

And he still adored the heck out of that kid.

He stepped out onto the roof, gauging the distance he had for running. Yeah, that would be more than enough. Especially since he could pretty much just launch himself up into the sky with a leap even if for whatever reason he didn't have enough runway ahead of him.

And there would be Kitty, getting out her phone and making sure she was totally ready and would not miss a second of this.

"Ready when you are."

Kanan rolled his eyes, and grinned, and then shrugged and took a few steps back. Had to get that running start, after all.

Which he took. With a gusto, even, running forward at top speed all the way to the edge of the roof, and then leaping. And spinning his tail around. And... yes. Flying. Doing a lap around the Caritas just to make certain Kitty had a good view of this.

This was ridiculous.

"This is possibly the best thing I'm going to see all week," Kitty laughed, zooming in so the camera could really get the twirly tail action.

It was ridiculous!

Well, at least the running start had been graceful, right? Kanan did one more lap for good measure, and then turned himself around and, tail still whirling away behind him, came in for a landing.

"And that," he said "is proof that raccoons can fly."

Rosa figured, if she'd managed to make it to the school earlier for the dumb shell-shooting class, she could at least make it to Caritas for getting her usual Tuesday drink on, too.

Was it possibly superfluious to take one of those pipes when Caritas was literally just across the street? Probably. But Rosa was doing it anyway.

"Kitty." She greeted her with a nod, being still sort of on the fence about how she felt about this week so far. It wasn't terrible. It wasn't great. It was annoying, but...

"Probably too early to tell if a drink is going to make me randomly change size or put me in one of those dumb outfits," not even a little bit sorry, Kanan, "this week, right?"

"It has not so far," Kitty said, which did not mean it wouldn't at some point! Who could know!

Rosa's eyes narrowed slightly as she considered it. "I'll take my chances," she said, deciding that she could probably actually pull off the raccoon suit well enough if she had to. "Just a beer, though, probably."

It seemed...marginally safer?

"I'll even stick with bottles, just in case," Kitty said, getting her one. "How're you handling this week?"

Rosa shrugged a little. "The troopers are turtles...I think...this week, so that's an improvement," she offered. "A good handful of students'll know how to handle shells as weapons if needed after today, too, and it's not like the water's anything new, either. Last time we didn't even have those pipes. The...pixelation kind of gives me a headache, though. What about you? Seems like it's pretty light on the things to be worried about so far."

She meant in regards to the kid, of course, which was about as close to actually asking about the kid as she was likely to get.

But it was still asking, in Rosa's own way.

"If we're not underwater tomorrow I'm putting Lexi in a sling and taking her out to jump on mushrooms with me."

Safely, of course!

But seriously, that about summed up her feelings.

See? Rosa didn't even make a comment about dropping her or the sling breaking or anything! She was getting so good at this talking-about-people's-kids thing!

"What if we are still underwater?" she asked. "She's old enough to learn how to swim, right? I mean, she lives on an island, one that's apparently prone to random flooding, that's going to be an important life skill."

"Old enough to start to learn, but she hasn't yet, due to that time the water was irradiated and turned people into monsters and I don't trust anything here yet," Kitty explained. "I should have thrown her in the pool when I was in New York, actually."

Not literally.
