Close Encounters of the Furred Kind [Completed]
Character(s): Remy and Ahnassi
Content: What happens when a world-class rat chef and a rather feline monk/thief run into each other?
Setting: Vanaheim area, around Actua Are
Time: Early afternoon
Warnings: Remy is NOT for lunch!
Despite the unusually pleasant reception he'd received at the gate, Remy continued to stick to the shadows as he made his way further into the city. Even if people could understand him now, it didn't mean that everyone was likely to be friendly to a rat. Not to mention, he preferred to not get stepped on, even by accident. Some humans just didn't know how to look where they were going...
He spent an hour or so in exploration, even taking to the rooftops for a brief period of time just to get an idea of the sheer scope of the city. It was larger than he had expected... He hadn't been able to imagine a domed city the size that this one seemed to be, but the proof was right before his eyes. He was a little surprised that he'd never heard of such a place. While he wasn't exactly well-traveled, he had spent a good deal of time reading and had always liked to think he knew more about the world around him than most others of his species. Apparently there were still more than a few things out there in the world to surprise him. He realized that he hadn't even gotten the name of the city yet. He wondered how far he was from Paris, and how he had gotten from there to here in the first place.
Eventually, the rat settled down into a quiet corner and began to examine the second item of interest - the journal he'd been given at the gate. He'd taken a brief glance at it right after coming into the city and found it to be an electronic device rather similar to some kind of personal organizer. Initially, he'd given it little attention besides the brief lookover. He'd seen that sort of thing before, although he'd never really had the chance to use such a device himself. Now he tried to get a little more familiar with the device. It might be possible to use it to his advantage, perhaps even to contact his friends and find a way to get back to Paris and his beloved restaurant. It was worth looking into, at least.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl. Almost dreamily, Remy noticed some of the unusual details that had eluded him at first. The cat wasn't just big... It was... half-human? Or at least vaguely human-shaped. Its "paws" were actually hands, although covered with fur. It was even wearing clothing and earrings, which was definitely not normal for a cat. It was like something out of a bizarre science fiction movie, but far too real to just be a costume.
It struck him as somewhat unfair that he should be eaten by an alien cat-person, after everything he'd managed to accomplish among the humans. As if his life hadn't been strange enough!
It struck him a moment later that anyone wearing clothes and jewelry, even an alien cat-person, might possibly respond in some way to vocal communication. In his panic, he had almost forgotten that humans could understand him now. There was a chance that they might not be the only ones...
He could hardly summon up enough air to speak, and his first attempt was barely a whisper. As the cat-person shifted position, he pushed against her hand as hard as he possibly could, panic giving him the strength to take a breath and yelp out a frantic plea, "Lemme go!"
