[The camera turns on with a view of Desmond's bathroom mirror, Desmond himself reflected back in just a t-shirt and jeans. Once he's made sure he has the thing recording properly he turns around and goes back to his bedroom, where his hoodie is half crumpled on the bed. He moves aside part of the sleeve to reveal a small calico kitten nestled into the red lining of the hood for a nap. At the disturbance the kitten stretches out and looks up at Desmond and mews.]

So as you guys can see, I've got a new roommate. [Desmond chuckles and reaches in to pet the kitten's head. It accepts his touch for a moment before batting at his finger with its paws and trying to chew on his fingernail. He tolerates it for now.] Found her on the way home last night. I'm kind of terrible at names, though. Any suggestions?

Oh it's so cute! You should give it a powerful name. Names mean so much, on a spiritual level, you know. A powerful name will ensure that it grows strong. Perhaps something like Catscan or Buzzclaw or Fractyl! [ Sorry, he's only going to give you Definitely Robot Names^TM ]

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

....Come on, man. It's cute. You're supposed to give it a cute name. Not...whatever those all are.

[weapabilities]

Those are incredibly charming names where I come from. Fine, fine, human standards... Glit maybe?

[His voice is loaded with sarcasm.] Oh. Hey. Yeah. Great name for a kitten.

I've got one for you. Asshole.

You don't like that one? What about 'Breakfast' or 'Lunch'?

Please keep it out of my books.

[ He says., From prison. ]

Rather cute, though.

No worries there. Only time she's out of my room is when I'm with her.

You never know with cats, my boy, clever creatures, that they are. And I'm hardly around to watch over my things at the moment, I'm afraid. [ He's been gone since September, after all. ]

I take it "Cat" is out of the question.

Re: text

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Considering that's all i could think of? Yeah.

[lyingheart]

"Kitty?" I don't know, sorry. Names aren't my strong point.

[Animal on the network!!! ANIMAL ON THE NETWORK.]

You should call her Kit! You know like, short for kitten.

[...okay so he loves animals to death, but he's the least creative at naming them.]

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

...Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks of names like that.

[animalage]

...What's wrong with it? Every pet I've ever know has had names like that.

Besides, she totally looks like a Kit.

...The fuck kind of name is that?

[askedtobe]

[ Man this'd be so much better if it was a cute puppy post. But I guess Peter will survive. SOMEHOW. ]

You could always go with the name of wherever you found her - y'know. Ally. [ Peter has no idea make it stop. He's so bad at his oh my god, no one should let him name creatures. ] Leia works too.

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Leia's cute. Like...Star Wars, right?

Are you having problems with mice?

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

Huh? No, not that I know of. Don't need to have mice to want a cat, though.

[nestingdevil]

Ah-?

[It's the second one of his that's mentioned cats.] Not planning on bringing that here, are you? Eh- [There's a jingle-jammer on his side of the line and Greed drags his foot across the floor, making it knock distantly into the receiver.]

- not about to say no either way. Just make sure it doesn't end up where it shouldn't.

I'm pretty sure you can't take animals to bars anyway. Unless they're a service animal. Don't worry, she's staying at home.
