58th Transformation [video/action for Olivine]

[This feed goes up not too long after midnight; Envy had just meant to take a quick walk, maybe stop by the Pokemart…]

[That's not what wound up happening.]

[The video shows him huddled under the awning of a shop, with a strange catlike Pokemon clinging to the top of his head and staring with wide, traumatized eyes at the 'Gear. It's kneading at the top of Envy's head and purring anxiously. The dark around him is full of light thumps and mews as things that are much larger than raindrops land on the ground and on top of the awning.]

[Envy just looks a mix of incredibly annoyed and even more incredibly baffled. There are little cat scratches all up and down his arms, shoulders, and even a few on his face. He is studiously ignoring the cat on his head. He already tried getting it off. It didn't work.]

Okay, there's no hurricane this time so what the hell is going on? I haven't even seen this kind of cat-thing before!

[He mutters as an afterthought:] At least it's not sharks.

[So far, Nagi has avoided contacting the Network on a more personal level than just text entirely. He's up late tonight- though it's rare that he isn't up late- and he'd been searching for something in his Pokedex when a video suddenly flashes on the Network.

...

As he watches, his expression changes from a look of passive indifference to...well, confusion, for one. He can understand sharks being pulled out of the water thanks to a tornado, maybe.

....but. ...]

What is that.

....it's raining cats.

Cats.

I'm going to get one!

It's a purple cat that fell out of the sky, that's the extent of my knowledge.

[He shrugs in exasperation. The cat just keeps on staring into the camera, unblinking.]

It's not something I've seen before. And I don't know if it's just happening here because I have terrible luck or if they're everywhere.

[...]

Of course you are. Are they falling out of the sky where you are too?

That's ridiculous.

[The voice comes quickly, even though he's getting visual proof that what Envy is saying isn't a lie. It is literally raining cats wherever he is, and as he hears more dull thumps and mewls of distress, he keeps talking.]

Where are you?

Yeah, they're everywhere!

...they kind of look frightened, actually. I feel sort of bad.

[He snorts, amusement breaking through the annoyance for a second.]

You say that like everything here isn't ridiculous already.

I'm in Olivine. Where are you?

Yeah, so frightened they'll try to shred your arms.

[He points to the one attached to his head.]

I can't get this one off of me.

[Yes, well, he is on his feet now and heading toward the nearest exit, if the sound of rapid footsteps and his voice coming from a bit farther off is anything to go by. For a second he's tempted to just ignore the question, but eventually he relents with a sigh.]

Goldenrod.

[There's a pause and the sound of a door being opened, followed by rustling over the microphone.

...Then, quiet like the jaws theme, a chorus of frantic meowing calls out into the night, and without warning Nagi finds himself jerking a hand up as something scales his leg rather quickly.

A few somethings.]

W-...what-!?

[MEW MEW MEW MEW MEW MEW]

[Well that sure answers the question of if this is happening other places.]

[It answers it in the best way possible because somebody might be having a worse time than him now. And that makes it hilarious.]

Careful, if they get on you you'll never get them off!

[Yeah he's only barely not laughing. If only because he wants to be able to hear what happens next.]

[...Well it's a little too late for that now, isn't it? Because now Nagi's shirt is weighted down with one of the small kittens trying to climb up to his shoulder, with another two catching on and starting to climb up his pants.

He puts a stop to that right quick, reaching down with his free hand to pull one of them from his pants leg, only to have it replaced by a fourth almost immediately.

Through it all, the poor things are still coming down. Nagi doesn't answer right away because he is that bewildered, coupled with grunts of frustration over the panicked mews as he tries to peel the little Pokemon from his body.]

When- when did this start?

[He manages to grind out, one of the Pokemon clinging to his shoulder, another held temporarily in his arm, and the other two still beating a path to his other shoulder as fast as they can go.]

[He takes this in for a moment. The fact that the cats all seem to have the same haunted stare is a little creepy, to be honest.

But this is also Greed we're talking about here.]

Looks like you've made a friend.

[Yes, really. He's going with that.]

[Before responding, Riku walks up to a window. Cracks said window open...

Gets a face full of cat.

By the time he respond over the 'Gear, he's got visible scratch marks on his face, his hair's all frazzled, and he's looking more than a little exasperated.]

You know, I'm almost disappointed. Sure, we got cats, but I don't see any falling dogs. You'd think that if they really wanted to break physics again, they'd go all out.

[Only he'd rather not get hit in the head with a falling Arcanine.]

[France is holding one, looking at it's wide-eyed face with a great amount of concern. He has somehow managed to completely avoid any scratches. The one in his hold is entirely docile. In fact, it looks like a terrified rag doll.]

Do they all look like this?

They're everywhere!

The poor things don't seem to like falling from the sky anymore than we like them falling on us.

They really don't.

Have you seen the looks on all their faces? Every single one of them looks like this.

[He points to the one on his head for emphasis.]

I haven't seen any that look different.

[He leans to peer into the darkness past the awning; there are streetlights, but it's still not easy to see the faces of the cats as they fall from the sky and then scamper away once they've landed.]

...how are we going to get back to the inn in all this?

That's...

[Well, it's a lot of things, none of which seem like they need to be said. France sets the Espurr in his hands down at his feet, staring at it. It stares back at him. He gets trapped in an impromptu staring contest of the disturbed before Envy's question draws him out of it. He looks out, reaching up to brush his hair out of his face.]

They don't seem to be aggressive? We could probably try running through them?

[It sounds as lame aloud as it sounded in his head. He puts his face in his hands.]

This is so weird.

...So this is happening all over the place?

[What in the name of... WHY THIS. Asami is shooing a panicked cat-thing out of her hair as she speaks.]

They look like they were rescued too late from a war zone.

[Envy just groans at first, not looking at who's talking to him yet.]

Don't even say that. With this place's luck, I wouldn't be surprised if it started just because you said that, and I at least want to get back inside.

[He squints out into the dark, as though making sure dogs haven't started coming down after all. No, still just cats. Then he finally looks at his 'Gear, and snickers.]

Had some trouble yourself?

I'd say to pack an umbrella, but...

[He rubs his cheek, right over one of the scratches.]

Think they're gonna start having to make them out of titanium at this point.

[At any rate, he nods, smiling sheepishly.]

Word of advice: don't open the windows unless you want a face full of claws.

[Since he's paying more attention to the falling animals, Envy's brief glance at the video makes him wonder why Lust is calling him twice...but oh wait no, it's this girl. The one with the spirit world.]

From what I can tell. I've had people from Goldenrod and Kanto tell me it's raining cats where they are.

[He drags a hand down his face.]

This could at least have waited another ten minutes for me to be inside.

Well, how long is it going to last?

Why are you asking me like I'd know?

This hasn't happened before except with the hurricane! And when that happened there was at least a reason.
