Cats. Cats are nice

[likescats]

Who: Death (Discworld) and Death (Sandman)
Where: a Pet Shop
Summary: It was only a matter of time before they decided to adopt a kitten.
Warnings: Death trying to adopt all the cats?

The pet store customers were steering clear of a rather odd couple that day. The couple in question, a goth girl dressed in black and a tall skeleton in a black cloak were standing by the section the held the cats. The kittens they were looking at, unlike the people in the store, didn't seem to mind them. Though one is attempting to climb the rest of the kittens to freedom.

THAT ONE SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO ESCAPE.

"Eeny meeny miney moe catch a tigger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eeny meeny miney moe." She points to a kitten with each word. Because it's as good a way to select a cat as any.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RATHER DANGEROUS WAY TO CATCH A TIGER.

Discworld people are the most literal people ever.

She probably should have seen that coming. She loves him. She knows what she was getting into. "Yes, it would be." Changing the subject. "What do you think of this little guy?"

[likescats]

Be glad this isn't the Disc. However he'll be distracted, though he's still wondering why you'd grab a tiger that way. Really.

WHICH ONE?

[acapriciousthing]

She reaches down to rub the ears of the one she had ended on at 'moe'. "This little guy. Girl... haven't checked yet."

[likescats]

THAT SEEMS LIKE A FAIR WAY.

He'll nod at this.

"It's probably the only way we're going to get anywhere." Because the alternative is all the kittens, and one of them has to be aware of geometry.

YES....I SUPPOSE SO.

And let's face it, it's not going to be the guy who forgets that swings shouldn't go through trees.

She picks up the kitten. "Do you like random selection? I bet you do."

[likescats]

He leans over to pet the kitten.

WHAT SHALL WE NAME IT?

[acapriciousthing]

"You mean we aren't going with Eeny Meeny?" She had more or less accepted that it was going to happen.

[likescats]

He thinks that over for a moment.

YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT IS A GOOD NAME.

Well done Death.

[acapriciousthing]

"It is kinda cute." She can live with it. ANd the next part is directed to the kitten. "Who's our Eeny Meeny?"

[likescats]

It's a very good name and Death also pats the new kitten.
