(no subject)

There is a large orange tabby cat exploring around the Nexus. He seems to be looking for someone in particular. Now, that in itself is not unusual.

However, this particular tabby cat is wearing a make-shift holster around his belly and there seems to be a Starfleet phaser encased in the holster. Only the top of the phaser is visible to the eye... but it looks covered with soot.

The cat is also being followed by a glowing blue light very closely.

After a few moments of being frustrated of not seeing anyone's face, from where he is on the ground... the orange tabby cat jumps his way up a few different Nexus fixtures, until he is higher up. He stares around the Nexus and makes a soft meowing sound. Almost questioning.

Anyone care to try to answer his question.

"Whyich one ya looking for?"

Another catlike creature is languidly draped across the top of a stone wall, tails curling casually down one of the sides. Golden eyes are watching the other feline with lazy interest.

"The one who smells like leathers an' smoke or the one who took Nyo Shave Nyovember pretty seriously?"

Adia is sitting at her usual Nexus terminal, schematics of various ship engines on the computer's screen. She's looking over the images tiredly, as if she's been at it a while. When she takes a break to rub her eyes, that's when she hears the meow.

Looking up, she spots Hermione's feline friend. "Hi, Crookshanks," she says, recognizing the tabby immediately. The phaser holster gets a second, concerned look, as does the glowing blue light. This doesn't seem like a typical exploratory stroll for the cat. "What's up? Where's Hermione?"

"Whaddaya mean 'not a cat'?!"

Neko has never sat up so swiftly in her life. Both tails are floofing out with indignation, straight up now and stiff with her offense.

"Listen, Garfield, a cat demon is still a cat. and I'll have you know I am the Original Cat of the Nexus, mya."

That isn't a thing, and if it were, Nekomata would most certainly not be the first. Crookshanks' question has rather been a bit waylaid by Nekomata's pride being wounded.

Oh. Oh!. It's a cat.

A very handsome cat. Katsuya keeps a safe distance from it even though he's stopped on his way back to his own portal to admire the feline. Such grace. Such dignity.

...Is that a gun tied around it?

"What the--?"

Well, that is a most humble and generous apology. The demon's golden eyes squint slightly without her realizing it, tails curling back down with obvious acceptance of such a gentlemanly statement.

This is a brilliant cat.

After a languid and somewhat exaggerated stretch she shifts her position atop the wall and gracefully sits upright, one leg crossed over the other with her paws in her lap.

"You cyame to the right cat nya. I specialize in information. You're looking for someone, and you're carrying a weapon I've seen before. Maybe we can make a deal?" Her master boss would probably want Neko to help out a fellow Nexus denizen if he knew about this after all.

That sad meow breaks something in the police officer's heart.

Poor thing doesn't look like it's going to be coming down. It must be scared. He's going to set his coffee and briefcase down and hurry off to get a bowl of water and some food to leave out next to a nearby bench underneath where Crookshanks is sitting.

Just in case. He has no idea the caliber of witch that is his master. He just doesn't like to see a furry friend upset.

"There."

Crookshanks raises a very good point. Nothing in this world is for free, especially if you're a demon and good morality is a bit difficult a concept for you to grasp. Still, if his master is as important as he says she is...

"I wouldn't say that, mya. You introduce me to this witch of yours when we're done here. Let her know just who it was that lent out a helping paw in her tyime of need~"

Allies are always a valuable bargaining chip, after all. And Neko does so much want to spread her name and brand across the Nexus. Reputation means better business after all.

"Sound fair?"

Very typical of a cat to block a computer screen, but it wasn't like Adia was making much progress with her research anyway. She watches, wide-eyed, as the blue light transforms itself into an otter, and Hermione's voice issues forth. Stuck between doors? That sounds serious. She leans in, eager to help --

"...oh, dear." She turns to Crookshanks apologetically. "I don't have any of those things." She's not quite as clueless as a typical muggle, but aside from paper (not even parchment, just the cheap kind used for printers), she wouldn't know how to even identify the rest.

But she know someone who might.

"There's a magic shop near the Poké Mart," she tells Crookshanks. "We can try to get what Hermione needs there... if they'll let me take it on credit."

"Yah!"

Whatever it was Katsuya had been expecting, this was not it. He stumbles back a step and gapes a moment at the otter before regaining his composure. Okay this is A Thing that is happening now. He's seen weirder.

Besides. The voice said something about an emergency. And her requests don't seem that far fetched either to a man who determined that aromatherapy helped him fight demons several years back. He's scribbling down the requests in a tiny flip notebook he's pulled out of his briefcase.

"Are...are you Crookshanks then?" He points with his pen to the cat.

That certainly is a List. Nekomata folds her arms over her chest and frowns while she considers the witch's needs carefully.

"We can get those things mya, I've seen nuclear powered toasters bein' sold at kiosks in the market stalls downtown. A bunch of plants shouldn't be hard t'come by. The basilisk scale might take a bit of sniffing out though."

Oh dear that's adorable. Focus, Suou. He tears the neatly printed list off the rest of the flip book once he's finished taking notes.

"I'm certain I've heard of some of these things before. must they be exactly as stated or would approximations be acceptable? I know where to get oil of patchouli certainly. But the plants themselves may be more difficult."

Relieved that her suggestion meets with the cat's approval, she stands up, but pauses at his meowing. He may be able to understand her just fine, brilliant cat that he is, but it takes her a moment to sort out what he wants her to do.

"I can...? Um, okay..." She turns to face the otter. It's not the strangest thing she's ever had to do in the Nexus, but the idea of an ethereal otter as some sort of magical voicemail leaves her a little tongue-tied. "Um... Hermione?" she calls out, as if trying to use a phone with bad reception. "This is Adia. I'm going to try to get what you need from a magic shop. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else who can help. Um... hang in there!"

She looks back to Crookshanks. Is that sufficient? Does she need to touch the otter's nose to send the message or anything like that?

"We could always go hunt a Lamia down though and get a scale off of her. They're a kind of serpent."

Neko gives a toothy grin then. She doesn't often get a chance to hunt.
