[Filtered from Hoffman, Slick and David, because someone is paranoid.]

[It's taken some effort, but Heero has managed to get his paws on his communicator and turned the video feed on. He's an African Blackfooted Cat - which are about the same size as/a little smaller than the average house cat. Basically, tiny, adorable little things that will fuck up your shit if you bother it.

His ears flick back for a moment, and generally he looks kind of annoyed by his present situation, but it could have been much worse.]

Olive. Where are you?

[Filtered to "People he sort of cares about", but hasn't talked to already:  Cooper, Kay, Una, Brax.]

Are you affected?

...Oh my God Heero. [MUST NOT LAUGH.]

[resultofwar]

Don't laugh. [:\\\\]

[worstsongever]

[BITING. HER LIP.] Where are you?

[resultofwar]

My room. You're alright?

[worstsongever]

I'm totally cool and human, can I come get you?

[resultofwar]

Sure.

[worstsongever]

[You have never known such cuddling as you will soon know, Heero. BUT SOON ENOUGH SHE IS TRYING HIS DOOR KNOB.]

Here kitty kitty...okay, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

[Filtered]

[most_feared]

Yeah, I'm affected. [Sound of tail slowly thumping on the floor.]

[resultofwar]

[Dog. >| Dog, you are being kitty frowned at.]

Who are you?

[Filtered]

[most_feared]

Agent K. [Sorry, didn't have much of a choice.]

[Filtered]

[resultofwar]

Kay. [His not-quite expression softens slightly.]

You're alright?

[Filtered]

[most_feared]

I'm fine. I'm just getting back to my room as frequently as possible because the last thing I wanna do is be caught butt-naked in the middle of the hallway when the waters clear. I think you should probably do the same.

... Olive wants to hang out. [He sounds EXTREMELY enthusiastic.]

[Private]

[collector]

[Look, he has the courtesy to restrain his laughter back to an air of faint amusement.] Oh, I'm quite fine. Are you in need of any aid? [It is, one must note, costing him a lot in restraint.]

[Private]

[resultofwar]

[gdi Brax, you are a troll. :|] I'm fine. How many people are unaffected?

[Private]

[collector]

The affected are usually more visible, so, oh, I'd guess about half and half? Many of our more competent residents have changed species, but you'll have seen Sergeant Howie proving himself as ever.

[The amusement isn't giving. It especially isn't giving with Braxiatel's Chartreux peeks her head over to get a good look at Heero.] Ah, Sherry. Say hello to Heero; he's incapacitated but still very capable and self-reliant, we've no doubts. [Sherry's response is an odd, almost clicking call.]

[Private]

[resultofwar]

Who else qualifies as competent around here? [Dark humor, because lol Heero has like, zero faith in anyone in particular. HE COULD TOTES DO THIS JOB.

And headtilting at the other cat.] Can she understand me?

[Private]

[collector]

So young and so cynical. [As if Brax wasn't a cynic before he was 50 a very young age for a Time Lord. The other cat mimics the head tilt] I don't think so, but as it's been some time since I last spoke to cats that oughtn't be talking, I can't be certain.

[She does paw at the screen, which is--something?]

[Private]

[resultofwar]

I grew up fast. [Understatement of the century, but what can you do? Heero's almost tempted to paw back, but he's still a stoic little critter, so holds back.]

Do you think there's a pattern to how people are being affected?

[fuckyoucynthia]

[Just on the general paranoia filter, because claws are hard. At least it's video. Cooper makes general g runty, unhappy bear noises. :|]

[resultofwar]

... Cooper? [IT'S COOPER OR UNA, AND HE'S PRETTY SURE UNA'S AN OWL. :|]

[fuckyoucynthia]

[Growl. SIGH GROWL. He bobs his head. Sup Heero. :|]

[resultofwar]

[He sniffs at the camera for a second before realizing lol wait, can't smell you from here. Well, this is embarrassing. :|]

Where are you?

[fuckyoucynthia]

[Smart Heero. :| Cooper stares at the sniffing, makes a sound kind of like a snort, than lumbers to the side so he isn't obstructing the view of his room.]

[resultofwar]

Do you need someone to let you out? [Can you even fit out the door. :|]
