Heart Game: Duality - Round 2

[idolpro]

Your sleep is restless, and it's hard to settle as your eyelids refusing to stop twitching, and you can feel an itch at the back of your mind, flashes of uncomfortable thoughts dipping in and out of your dreams, constantly interrupting your tries to relax. ... Are you even asleep?



...



Apparently you were, because you wake up with a start, cheek pressed uncomfortably to steel flooring and flickering lights overhead. Unfortunately, you don't feel very rested at all.

CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

Gosh, did you step into pillow heaven? This room is filled to the brim with soft pillows, blankets and cat plushies. It’s clearly a room where all things soft are supposed to live. It’s not empty because there are cats everywhere! White, calico, fluffy, less fluffy, young, old, on pillows, curled up in blankets and stretched out in all the soft. In the middle of the room is… Duality? Though he doesn't quite seem like himself, with cat ears and a tail, languidly stretched out like a large cat himself, dozing. He looks up as you enter, blinking slowly as he sits up.

“Oh. Hi~”

There is another door right ahead across the room, but it’s barely visible behind a mountain of blankets and pillows.

[ Well he guesses this is a little like home now... ]

Catuality...?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

C-Catuality?! Did you make that up just now?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

I mean, it's Duality but with cat ears, so I yes?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

...it is easier on the brain than calling him Duality.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

I never thought I'd see him acting like this.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

If it were not for the setting, I would take it as a good thing. But... when he is stressed and sad, does he not surround himself with pillows?

Or is Silence overthinking it?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

You probably aren't overthinking it.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

Then this Catuality could be... an ideal?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

An ideal of some place safe and carefree, perhaps.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

[His ears perk up.]

That's a cute name.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

Haha, uhm, thanks? There's an awful lot of pillows here.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

They're soft. Come sit! Pet a cat.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

[ Hmm, may as well play along for a bit and see where he can steer the conversation.

So he'll sit down and pet a cat.

...Give him a second he's going to take out his phone and snap some pictures, Q would probably like this and maybe be a little envious. ]

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

[There are so many cats, Eclipse, SO MANY.

Duality watches that, ears flicking this way and that.]

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[inspiteful]

[ With the practice of someone who is used to having to appease at least one (1) cat overlord at any given time, he's rubbing behind the ears of a cat that has settled into his lap. ]

What is this room supposed to be...?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

This is a pillow room, obviously.

[he flops over on his side like an actual cat, tail swishing behind him. does he look a little jealous of the attention Eclipse is giving the cat? maybe]

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

[slightly concerned as she examines the room and steps forward]

Are you okay...?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

[He turns on his side, like a cat, looking up at Silence from the floor]

Mmmm, of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

Because you are surrounded by pillows.

We only do that when you are sad or hurt, Du... Catuality.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

[he snorts at the name, uncharacteristically expressive]

That's silly. This is the best room, you should come join me, pet a cat.

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

[IS THIS A TRAP... but she doesn't want to deny a heart, so she takes a seat and reaches for a cat, albeit hesitantly]

Are you self-aware enough to explain who you are to Duality?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

[he tilts his head, cat ears flicking]

What do you mean?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[resonantblue]

Do you want to be surrounded by pillows and cats all of the time?

Re: CATS AND PILLOWS

[asonoficeandfire]

Of course, is there anything better than this?
