Who: Jungo (

adornmental)
When: some time before the mini-event!
Where: Jungo's apartment
What: Actual morons and also some cats
Rating/Warning: None!

[True to his word, Kashuu will eventually mosey his dumb butt on over whenever Jungo has the free time and when their schedules finally line up. He's kind of excited to meet this cat, okay... Even if it does have a weird name. He doesn't care what Sayo says, that name is weird.

Anyway, he'll be a-knockin' on the given apartment door sometime near the early evening. And because he can't just wait quietly like a normal person, he also calls out after like 2 seconds of waiting:]

Hey, open up!

[Well.

The door doesn't respond when Kashuu gets there. Actually, there's no response at all until nearly two minutes after he arrives. The door slides open at long last, only it's not Jungo on the other side.

Well, it's not big Jungo.

Sitting on the other side of the door, there's a brown cat with his paw on the door panel that opens and closes it. It's a high-tech door ~~I assume they're all high-tech doors~~.

He meows at Kashuu, and then calmly hops down and attempts to stroll outside.]

[It's a good thing Kashuu's enough of a moron to stick around for a full two minutes, but he sure is and he sure does... By the time the door slides open, he's looking pretty irritated, but--

a cat??]

Hey— [A cat that's trying to escape?! Kashuu's quick to bend down so he can block its way, holding one hand out in a "stop right there you reckless feline" gesture.] Are you supposed to be out here?

[The cat immediately meows again and places his paw on Kashuu's hand. After, he attempts to sniff the hand. High five, bro, meet the world's smartest cat. Possibly the smartest Jungo in the colony.

It's very likely.

As for the human Jungo, he's walking down the hallway with a bag in each hand and a CyBuddy pigeon on his shoulder.]

Kashuu. Hello. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting.

[He did, and he sees Jungo. Jungo meows at Jungo.]

You already met Jungo. If I'd been faster, I could have introduced you.

[Did he get a cat high five? This day is already more than he signed up for...

He let's Jungo (the cat) sniff his hand, either way, and keeps it in place as he turns around to give Jungo (the late host) a suitably miffed look.]

You totally did. [FOR LIKE TWO MINUTES but whatever, he's an impatient nerd.] What took you so long, huh?

[But oh... So this is the famous Jungo (the smarter), then? He glances back down to the cat, brow furrowing a little.]

I think he's pretty good at introducing himself.

[He did. He got a pawsitively amazing high five from Jungo (the cooler) before Jungo (the less cooler) arrived.]

I'm sorry. I was going to make you something, but I ran out of ingredients. I tried to hurry.

[His apology is sincere, but, at the same time, he ran out of chawanmushi ingredients because he's been handing out free food to everyone again...it's always like this.]

I told him to watch for you. Thank you, Jungo.

[And Jungo meows back.

This is probably embarrassing to watch, but he's going to try to usher Kashuu inside now.]

[Day: made...

But he's ushered in without any fuss, because he still wants to visit!! Even if his host was late because he keeps giving out free food...! Don't take that mentality into your business, Jungo, it'll end in tears.]

He's kinda cute. [Jungo the cat, that is. Glancing to the bag next! A more courteous guest would probably thank him for going through the trouble, but since this is Kashuu, he just gets a curious:]

What are you gonna make?

I agree. Jungo is very cute. He's very smart, too. Just the other day, he ran all the way to the shopping district and brought home some garnish I'd forgotten.

[Warning. Neither of these Jungos are normal. He sets the bags down on the counter next to the kitchenette. His apartment is small and clean. He has a cat, but the other cat is a CyBuddy, and, well.

At least Cait Sith and Neko Shogun aren't out.]

Chawanmushi. It's my best dish, so I thought I'd make it again.

Whaaat? The cat did your shopping for you?

[He looks down at Jungo the cat somewhat skeptically. Cats aren't smart enough to do that, right??

But he doesn't voice that aloud, instead just trailing after Beanie Jungo as he moseys into the kitchen. He looks around on his way over, vaguely curious in that "this is a new space" kind of way but not actually finding much of interest in it.]

Chawanmushi, huh? I've never actually had that before. Maybe I'll like it better than that weird fish did.

[Which he at least says in a tone that makes it clear he's only teasing... He's got a good palate, okay!!]

Mm. Jungo is very responsible for his age. He helps me cook, too.

[He probably shouldn't tell Kashuu that Jungo is training to be a sushi chef...cat claws are good at slicing fish up...sometimes.

At least the cat always washes his paws first.]

...I hope he's okay.

[Jungo pauses what he's doing to reflect on his fishy friend. He still hasn't forgotten about him.]

How old is he? [Cats don't live very long, right?? How old is a "responsible for his age" cat... He glances back toward it for a second, curious, but then looks back over toward Beanie at the addendum like what.]

Is your cat just super smart or something? Anyway, those alien things are pretty tough. I'm sure it's fine.

[Waving a hand dismissively! He doesn't particularly care about its survival, oops...]

I don't know. It's his third life, too.

[How very dare, Kashuu, Jungo (the cat) is going to live forever. Jungo and Jungo share a meaningful look between each other, one meow is exchanged, and he turns back to Kashuu.]

Mm, he's helped me with prep work before. I think he's still a young cat. That's the impression I get. [But enough about the cat and the alien fish (Jungo will always remember you), it's time to make Kashuu something to eat, right?] Are you hungry?

[He's walked into some sort of weird cat-based sitcom...]

His third life, huh? [Kashuu can't help but wonder if that's because Jungo (the cat) is particularly unlucky, or if it has something to do with the weird spiral of destruction that Jungox2combo's world is currently facing. BUT that's a depressing topic, and not at all suited for dinner, so he doesn't pursue it.]

Sooo he's a young cat assistant chef. ...You're pretty weird, y'know? [He's already said it before, but he'll say it again. And then he'll follow that insult up with a peppy:]

I'm really hungry. Pretty much starving! [Insults the host and then expects to be fed, okay Kashuu.]

That's right. We found each other each time. Isn't that amazing? I think we're really meant to be together.

[Jungo meows in agreement before walking further into the room. He rubs against Kashuu's legs, a soft purr coming from him as he looks up at Kashuu, seemingly expecting something.

Meanwhile the human starts to chop some of his ingredients, starts to work with his eggs...]

Mm...I'm sorry. If I'd been quicker, we'd be eating already. [But is he really that weird? He looks up from what he's doing, but his hands keep moving.] ...Do you think maybe you're a little weird, too, Kashuu?

I've never heard of someone fated to meet up with a cat.

[But Jungo (the tiny furry comrade) is pretty adorable, so it's not like it's a bad thing, right? He glances down at said cat... What does it want from him??]

Hey, I don't have any food, y'know. [Cats are always hungry, right? But he will, at least, lean over so he can scratch behind Jungo's ears and pet his head.]

S'fine. Waiting a little longer prooobably isn't gonna kill me. [A SIGH. What a big fat drama queen. Looking up in mild offense at that question, though...]

Huh? What kinda question is that? No way!
