[A picture of a kitten is attached to this message.]

This is Tiger. She got out of my room while we were at the feast. I'd really like some help finding her.

Please. Thanks.

My name is Kagami Taiga. Or Taiga Kagami, if you're from the west.

Just call me Kagami.

Anyway. I'd appreciate it. Oh and she has a bell on her collar.

Maybe she wanted to have a feast, too.
She's cute.
What does she like most?
Maybe we can lure her out.

[taigastripes]

She always gets into trouble so I'm not surprised.
Thanks.
To eat? Tuna usually, but she tends to try any sort of meat that I make or bring home.
Aren't they already cleaning up? I don't walk around with a can of tuna!

[fooligans]

You gotta.
You're her mom and dad now.
Take responsibility.
I can help...I happen to have a can of tuna on me.

[ For his familiar who totally isn't a cat and has rejected it already. ]

[taigastripes]

[Oh god, you're one of those cat owners, aren't you? Teach him your ways]

...of course you would. Ugh, fine!
Just... meet me by the place where we had the feast. I guess we could start there.

[fooligans]

[ He totally is... ]

I'll take that as compliment.
Just look for the guy who's carrying a can of tuna.

[ Perhaps Kagami will find some consolation in the fact that the can remains unopened when Akira arrives at the meeting spot. ]

I hope I don't look too fishy.

[ First impression: ruined. ]

[taigastripes]

[Is the can of tuna huge or something? Geez...

Either way, Kagami does find someone hold said can of tuna.]

I take it you're tuna guy?

[Jesus christ, the pun. It's Izuki all over again.]

I oughta kick you're ass for that.

[fooligans]

[ At least he's not carrying a whole tuna. ]

Nice to meet you too, Kagami.

[ The Tiger is never getting away from pun machines. ]

At least let me introduce myself before you kick my ass? I'm Akira. Maybe if we leave the can open she'll come to us.

[ The area is pretty big, but such a small kitty shouldn't have gone too far, he thinks. ]

and then i notice the grammar error like a million years later oi...

[taigastripes]

[He wasn't actually gonna do it, gosh. But he had a good idea. He also brought a blanket that Tiger had recently come to love rolling around in.]

I was told to bring something of her's as well. Think we can just leave them somewhere and wait?

[He wasn't sure how long they would have to or need to wait, though. This was his first lost pet.]

it's always like this...no worries tho

[fooligans]

Oh, good idea. Let's do just that.

[ Now they just have to pick a spot...Akira has his eyes on a secluded one not too close to the entrance. Most people are gone already, but they probably don't want someone to startle Tiger. ]

How about that corner? [ No one has walked nearby ever since they got here, so maybe it will work. ] Maybe we should hide somewhere...and make cat sounds to lure her in.

[ That's...an idea. ]

Tiger and Taiga? You couldn't have picked a name for her that was a little less, I dunno
samey?

[taigastripes]

Shut it!

[Better not tell Nero his familiar is also a tiger.]

If you're not gonna help then beat it, wiseass!

[birdflipping]

[good job this is text so he can't hear Nero laughing]

But what if I'm calling for your kitten and you come running instead? Think about it.

[taigastripes]

Oh, like I hadn't heard that one before, dumbass.

Besides, I said to call me Kagami. Unless you're my parents, no one calls me by my first name!

[birdflipping]

All right all right, easy there tiger

If I see your kitten around I'll let you know

[taigastripes]

Thanks.

[He's just glaring at his phone but whatever. He's not going to hear the end of tiger jokes now, is he?]

[dvine]

i know you're not a fan of dogs Kagamicchi
But I can have Nova (my pet wolf) sniff her out? if you have something of hers, like a sleeping blanket!
We'd find her easily!

[taigastripes]

...he's not gonna eat her, is he?

[dvine]

Of course not!
He's very obedient. He called for help when I was hurt
You can def count on him!

[taigastripes]

He's still a wolf...

Ugh, fine. I'll see if I can find something she rolled on or something.

[dvine]

He listens to me, don't worry!

I'll come find you! Where are you?

[taigastripes]

Near the feast area. Figured she might try to find food first.

[beautifulbeast]

If you have anything that smells like her I could help. Wolves have very good senses of smell after all.

[And typically cats aren't too afraid of her. Well, large breed cats. Would the sort they have here be?]

[taigastripes]

[Yo, hold up.

She can help. Because wolves have a good sense of smell. Which means...

!!!!! N o p e (sorry Juno)]

Uh...
A friend already offered to do the same, but thanks.

[He's still not sure about letting Nova find Tiger, but he also has Akira and his dumb can of tuna if all else fails.]

[beautifulbeast]

[Oh? Well if it's a friend then no wonder.]

Alright then. I hope you find her soon!

[taigastripes]

[He can't deal with dogs. Let alone wolf people.]

Thanks anyway, though.

[He's polite at least.]

[punchpass]

Kagami-kun, surely upon getting a kitten you know they are able escape artists.

Also, when did you get a kitten?

[taigastripes]

Yeah, I'm aware, dumbass. Doesn't mean I expected her to get out through a closed door!

In Lunatia, remember? We were stuck in a tree and Nigou and you managed to get the dog to run away.

[punchpass]

Kagami-kun, I have no idea what you are talking about. Did you happen to get knocked in the head?

Also I suggest putting something that smells of her outside. If she got lost, it could lead her back.

[taigastripes]

No, I didn't! Ask Kise or Midorima!

Outside where? The door?

[punchpass]

Ask them about what? You getting a kitten?

Yes, put it outside your door.

[taigastripes]

About being at the other place, Lunatia. That's where I got the kitten and you helped me.

[punchpass]

I will, but I don't think it will do anything. The last thing I know is us beating Kise-kun's team in the Winter Cup.

[taigastripes]

It'll prove I didn't hit my head!

That was awhile ago for me, Kuroko.

[punchpass]

I see.
I suppose it is possible we are from different places.
To be honest, I'm not really sure how to handle it.
I would like to meet your kitten, however.

[taigastripes]

I don't know how to feel about it either. It's weird.

Yeah, but I gotta find her first.

[punchpass]

I can come over and help look, if you think that can help?

text; un; hawk-eye since he went back with Kagami to see Tiger and all, he's already hunting XD

[deliveryhawk]

I still haven't found her, I am going to go check outside the gates.

Any luck on your end?

<3

[taigastripes]

Thanks.

Not yet. Meeting up with someone who apparently wants to try luring her out with tuna. I'll let you know.

<3

[deliveryhawk]

If I get stuck in a tree, you'll come to rescue me right?

That's actually not a bad idea. I wonder if my familiar would act as bait, she might like to try and pounce a real bird. Or kind of real, I think he's real.

[taigastripes]

No.

[Yes.]

Tiger isn't big enough to think your familiar would be bait.

[deliveryhawk]

Rude, so you'd let me sleep in a tree.

[he knows.]

Right, I'll go see what kind of meat I can find and carry it with me, can't hurt.

[taigastripes]

Eagles sleep in trees.

Something fish-like would probably be best. But whatever you can find, I suppose.

[deliveryhawk]

Rude, my Hawk-eye is superior to that guy's Eagle-eye.

Alright, maybe I can get some leftover fish from the cafe, I'll see.
