Message 12: Fair Warning

[unrecovered]

[Wash is sitting on his bed with a teal Frootz Cat in his lap. The cat looks pleased as punch to be there; Wash, in casual clothes with his face therefore visible, is obviously not.]

This is Carmen.

[Carmen meows happily. Hi all my buddies!]

She has a bad habit of stealing people's clothes and leaving them in other people's rooms. Or beds. Or bathrooms.

[Carmen looks a bit disgruntled at her behavior being labeled a bad habit. Those people belong together! They just don't know it yet. Obviously it's her duty to educate them!]

I figured I should let anyone know before she causes real trouble. She's teal so nobody will mistake her for Lela.

[brodakota]

You got another cat?

And don't worry about my clothes. I keep them locked up.

[unrecovered]

Yeah, I got one of the rare Spirits the Moogles gave us for all those apples in Ponyville.

[Wash snorts. He'd almost forgotten about that.] Obviously Carmen and Trouble should get together.

[Carmen perks up at that. Yeah, get together! Yowl-chika-meow-meow!]

[Wash pauses for a moment and looks down at Carmen]

Quit that.

[She just rolls over and waves her paws in the air. Make her!]

[brodakota]

[Reserving judgment unless/until Wash acquires a third cat.]

Somehow I'm not sure that's a good idea.

[unrecovered]

[Carmen's proving to be just as much of a handful as Melody. He doesn't think he can handle a third cat.]

Well, no, but at least they'd have something in common.

[brodakota]

Stealing clothes is not exactly a habit I want to encourage in my spirits. No offense.

[unrecovered]

You really think I'd be offended by that.

[Carmen has had enough of the small talk, especially after it mentioned a potential partner in crime for her. She gets to her paws and presses her face up against the communicator screen. Who is this Trouble and where can she find him? Hello?]

[She's only there for a moment or two before Wash pulls the communicator away.]

Get out of there.

[brodakota]

Well, I know how you feel about cats.

[Oh hey! Catface!]

Yeah, I think I'll keep Trouble on the sidelines for a bit.

[unrecovered]

That doesn't mean I don't know how crazy they are.

[Carmen meows and reaches for the communicator. Nooooo she wants to meet Trouble!]

Probably a good idea.

[brodakota]

Well, that's comforting to know.

[Teasing, teasing.]
