The Cats, The B***h, and the Guest Rooms
Two days before halloween....
Tina had be sluggishly dragging her ball and chain around that has been connected to her feet...
She was barely able to hold herself up....
And shadowing her was an eager Rakulia...
As for Zapook, she was seeing off her house guest. He decided to go home to celebrate Halloween at his own home. As a result, Koopling was once again seen wandering the house again. She was alot more reserved then before, and retreated each time someone drew near. Even when Wolven got close, Koopling silently, yet quickly distanced herself.
Wolven mostly stayed close to Zee, but wanders off to find Koopling every once in a while. Fluffles remained with Tina, picking at the chain of Tina's ball and chain and releasing Tina every time Tina has become too exhausted to drag it around anymore.
Boem, the house's new grunny, was kept mostly in Zapook's room. In fact, this day was the very first he was allowed out of Zapook's room. Boem remained on his best behavior, and become an execellent assistante
Zee was making her own plans for Halloween, yet Tina's condition, distracted her from her planning.
As Tina dragged herself into her room, Ekone followed her, helping her into bed.
Zapook, her arms and hands still bound by Whiplash, finally got to see Tina. Boem was skipping behind her, making sure to keep close to Zapook. When they entered the room, tending to Tina's needs, Zapook felt very uneasy. She pulled Zee out of the room, leaving Tina, Boem, and Ekone in there alone.
Zapook sighed as Whiplash slinked off of her arms. She removed the catscratch helmet and scratched her head. "You know... I'm no doctor...well. At least not a real one...But I think i know what's wrong with Tina."
"The meat I've been slipping her is finally taking affect?"
Zapook glared. "You idiot! She's a cat! Her dislike of meat has to do with her personality. It's not medical."
She smiles, "Ok. Not my fault then!"
"...Anyway...Tina's a victim to poisoning."
"How do you know?"
"Hmm...She's showing the same signs as one of my test subjects...When I was trying to come up with an antidote for it."
"Please tell me you did..."
"Yep. I'll go down to the lab and get it."
"Does this mean I can finally see your lab?"
"Ha! ...No." Zapook raises to fingers to her mouth and whistles. Boem trots out of Tina's room and stops short, coughing until he spits up a tiny dark colored shard. Zee leans over and stares at it.
"Uh...Pookie...? What the heck is this?"
"Dunno, something I got Boem to "clean up" for me in the lab."
"You mean eat..."
"Same thing. Anyway. There were a few in my lab."
Zee growls, pulling her scarf off, as well as her shackles and the fake claws. "I need to go..."
Zapook walked after her, smiling as she held Boem in one arm with Whiplash coiled around the other. "Get her good for me."
Zapook made it back to her room, and promptly returned upstairs to Tina's room.
Zee was prowling around the house, only to find Rakulia wandering around the house happily. She creeps up behind the naga and startles her with a dark voice. "You've been cheery..."
Rakulia jumped and grabbed at her chest as if holding her heart. "You scared me! And yes, I've been feeling rather happy lately."
"Odd how you seem to feel this way when you the guy you like is hanging around the only single girl in this house. Especially after seeing how possessive you can be."
"Oh I'm sure Tina won't do anything to try and grab Ekone's affection."
"Well of course...it's kinda hard for her to do so with her bein so sick."
"Exactly. She's Fine."
"You mean, she's no longer a threat?"
Rakulia giggles, "Now...I didn't say that at all."
"You kinda did." Zee says with a smile.
Rakulia starts to back away with the grinning Zee, "Are you assuming I caused her to be sick?"
Zee shook her head as she continued moving toward Rakulia, "You see? I didn't say that. You did..."
Rakulia's eyes widen, and she takes off through the house. Zee smiled and dived out the nearest window, and ended up meeting Rakulia at the front door as she tried to make a quick exit. The cat girl immediately tackles her into the house and drags her off to the room the naga was currently staying in.
Zapook and Zee met up later, walking side by side with each other as they walked about the house.
Zee let out a yawn, "So how's Tina?"
"Tina's fine. She sat up right after I gave her the medicine. Scared Ekone out of his skin. ....Literally. He shed right there in the room."
"Ha! That's awesome! So she's ok?"
"Well...there was one side affect..."
"Side affect?"
Zapook smiled as they reached Tina's door and opened it. Tina was in the shape of a ball, rolling about the room as Ekone was wrapped about her waist giggling. Zapooked closed the door back. "She'll be like that till the end of tonight."
"Hee hee...I like that affect."
"So how about Raki? You didn't eat her, did you?"
Zee lifts up her shirt and pokes her flat stomach. "Does it look like I ate her?"
"So where is she?"
Zee led her to Rakulia's guest room, and showed Zapook a tied up, crying Rakulia sitting in the middle of the floor.
Zapook smiled at Zee, "So what are you gonna do with her?"
"Dunno yet..."
