Hello, this is Naoto Shirogane. I... seem to have been evicted from my overlay, one Mako Adams.

Do not attempt to tangle with him. While his actual powers are much less than people have been led to believe, he is crafty, and an excellent pistol shot. I will be taking him out myself after removing a few things from his apartment.

Thorne-san, Malik-san, Tim-san, Zed-san, my most sincere apologies.

They know we are here, but they are mostly unaware of who we are or what we do.

Once I have taken a few moments, I will be back and see what I can do.

[Private to Kanji]

Kanji? If you are yourself, as I believe you are, could you come to Liminal Space? I... could use some company.

I am, yes. I'm in Kanji's restaurant for now. Magnus has certainly been quite the comfort in the small time he's been with me. I am quite glad that he came home with me.

[Mako is, thankfully, out at the moment, so the cat acquisition goes off without a hitch. It's probably for the best.]

[With Magnus's help (well, dictation) Tybalt leaves a note behind so nobody worries. It's written in elegant 17th century handwriting, and part of it is Tybalt explaining he was helping the cat go home, and part of it is Magnus saying he'll be back.]

I'm in Liminal now, just give us some time to find the restaurant.

[It doesn't take long, and Tybalt strolls through the door, Magnus in his arms.]

Milady.

Magnus!

[Without waiting to be set down, Magnus jumps out of Tybalts arms and onto the counter, climbing down into Naoto's lap and purring loudly. Yes, good. His lady is back, and herself.]

It's just Naoto, Tybalt-san. I am no lady here. Thank you for bringing Magnus to me.

[She never thought she'd become so attached to the fuzz butt, but she... is. Very much so.]

He is of the opinion that you are, and deserve the accolades.

[And really, he'll defer to the cat in this case. It doesn't hurt anyone, as humans don't do titles much anymore.]

It was nothing; he has been a great help to me, besides the fact that he's a cat.

Well, er, thank you. And thank you as well, Magnus.

[She turns a bit pink, and cuddles Magnus a bit closer. For his part, the fuzzball cat snuggles even deeper into Naoto's lap.]

Good. I'm glad he's been helpful. Have... either of you seen Souji? I don't think my overlay ever encountered him.

We have been looking together but haven't encountered him yet. I shall certainly step up the search now that you remember yourself. I suspect you could do with the comfort.

[Oberon knows Tybalt would really, really like if his own fiance was here. Of course, he could still be infiltrating...]

Of knowing where he is, at least, even if he's not himself.

[Magnus meows up at Tybalt]

I thought I saw my lord on one of my wanders, however, I cannot be sure. He smelled differently, but that could just be the Infiltration.

[Naoto just sighs, petting Magnus.]

Yes. With people disappearing lately, I would like to know if he is still here, or if I will need to be looking out for a dungeon.

[Or, by some miracle he got sent home to heal.]

[Tybalt’s response in return is at least partly non-verbal, and all in cat, although Naoto may be able to pick out some of the meaning, given Tybalt’s current form.]

Where did you see him and what did he smell like? A clue will more easily lead us to him.

[Then he continues to Naoto.]

We may have just found a lead. I will be sure to keep you informed, of course.

[Magnus raises a paw, as if he is pointing, and describes the area around his sighting.]

He had a terrible sense of fashion at the time. I certainly hope that is the overlay and not something my lord will retain.

[Naoto glances down at him and smiles a tiny bit.]

Good kitty, Magnus. Thank you both.

Good work, Magnus. I will go there promptly and check. I am no dog, of course, but I may be able to find a trail to follow.

[That's said so that both Naoto and Magnus can understand.]
