Heart Game: Duality - Round 3

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.

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.

[ The temptation to just close the door and leave RIGHT FUCKING THEN AND THERE is strong

But instead he's going to just get up after being assaulted by pillows and blankets and just stare ]

Shit, I knew you had werid tastes.

[He flicks an ear as he stretches his arms over his head before looking right at Hardcore, tail swishing.]

Weird? What's weird?

[ HE CAN'T TAKE THIS. ]

Shit! Quit moving your ear and tail like that! 'the hell is up with this room anyway? What the fuck is up with you and blankets and cats?

I like cats.

Blankets too. Why are you mad?

...

...

Forget it. Where's that white cat? Is this her room? If this is the cat room I should bring cats here, right?

There are a lot of cats here already. What cat are you talking about?

[His voice has a strange lilt to it, as if he's flippant about whatever cat you're talking about.]

—Your cat. What kinda stupid question is that? Wait, when did you even get this many, anyway?

They've always been here, and they are all my cats. I never leave this room, it's just the best one. All the others are inconsequential.

[UH]

[ how dare you say that about the best cat that has ever lived ]

...Haah? You're not Duality, are you?

[ look at him. Using the name. ]

[You barely know his cat. But sure, yes, she's the best cat.]

Of course I'm Duality. Which cat are you talking about?

[Tail lash. He looks affronted.]

[ it's the only cat he knows ]

... I don't remember her name. She was in front of the door earlier.

[He's immediately perking up, ears standing at attention.]

...you saw Yuki?

[Is this a good idea.]

yeah. She was just outside of here — did you lose her?

[ time to look for her again under the blankets ]

No, she...

[He looks hesitant for the first time since Hardcore walked into the room.]

She likes the outside. I don't.

[Yuki didn't follow you inside the room. She's still outside.]

[ eyebrow raise ]

Hah? Why not? Staying holed up is fucking boring.

[EAR FLICK]

No, it's not. I like it here.

So what, you're never coming outside? Not even if I ask you?

You're leaving?

[now his ears droop]

You should stay, pet a cat.

I'm not staying. I gotta explore and rescue cats or some shit.

[He opens his mouth, and then he closes it, and flops back into the pillows.]

...will you come back?

[ don't do this to him it kills him ]

...

The cats will need somewhere to stay in, so fine. I'll see you later.

[...he rolls over on his side and looks up at Bakugou, face calm, suddenly serious. He realizes he won't stay, and... mm.]

I... I don't need more cats in this room. [It takes a while before he finishes.] Maybe... the other rooms.

Edited 2020-02-17 19:54 (UTC)

... Fine. Any room in particular?

[Turns to bury his face into a pillow.]

How should I know? Ask someone else.
