You walk into a room. There is a sign tacked up on a bulletin board. It reads: RESERVED FOR MOON CAT Name: Tib Gender: Female Type: Grey Tabby Parents: Menemelda and Llurdol Litter #: 2 Caretaker: Inness You walk in again a little bit later, and you're surprised to see that the sign has been taken down. ~I wonder why~you think to yourself. Just then, you hear a meowing sound from the ground. You look down and see...a little grey tabby kitten, it looks like...with wings? The kitty meows again and looks up at you. Its eyes are sort of opal colored, changing often. It paws at your leg, then spreads its bat-like wings, and flies up to land on your shoulder, where it proceeds to knead your clothing. "Ooch, owch, oh, oo, OWWWW!" you say as the tiny claws dig into you. The little kitten gives you a wide-eyed look, then stops kneading, and licks your ear with a warm, sandpaper tongue. You smile and stroke it. :I am NOT an 'it': says a voice inside your head, startling you. :I am a female moon cat. My name is Tib: You gaze at the moon cat, who purrs loudly and nibbles your ear softly. Inness walks in. "I see you've found Tib. She came to me just this morning. I'm so happy. She was one of the orphaned kitties." :Yesss: purrs Tib :She saved me from aloneness: Tib soars off your shoulder into Inness' arms, her eyes glowing and sparkling and constantly changing different pearly colors. "I'm going to get another one soon, and he can be her mate. Then I can repay Dragon Moon for her in more kittens. Maybe you'd like to get a mooncat, yourself!" You nod. "Well, I happen to have a map..look down there." You follow her gaze, and indeed, there is a map.
::Heyla stranger!:: a voice says in your head. ::My name is Shrai. Tib is my mate!:: You nod knowingly, searching for the owner of the voice. The Moon Cat comes into view. ::I'm an orange tabby. Soon I hope to father some kittens!:: Although Shrai is a very dark orange, there can still be seen a blush on his cheeks. His bluish eyes are sparkling merrily. You decide you like this Moon Cat. He seems trustworthy and humorous, not to mention....well, a little insane, since you now see him hanging upside-down from the ceiling like a bat. Shrai grins and winks. ::In fact, we have already made many little baby moon cats, which were all adopted! I'm so proud of my little Tib-she's the sweetest mother mooncat I've ever seen!:: Tib purrs and nuzzles Shrai, who purrs in return. They fly around their home happily.
