Black Cat Heart Attack

[isthatacactus]

[it is 4 am, but she has a question. She has spent a while trying to get the answer on her own but to no avail. And so...]

Hi there!

I bought everything.

[she holds up all the available black cat items]

What does that mean?

It bugs the hell out of me sometimes, too. I had to do it when we started the Neighborhood, to see if the - [he's still not sure when she's from, how much she knows. he should probably fix that] - plan was working.

Speaking of the Neighborhood... say, Janet, what's the last thing you remember from before you ended up here?

[isthatacactus]

I had just gotten you files for Eleanor... but I think it came out wrong.

[his eyes widen and he leans back away from the mirror] WOW. I mean - WOW. That is ... that is a really long time ago for me, Janet. Geesh.

[he blows out a sigh, blinking and shaking his head in that dottering way that he has when he's completely stunned]

I am completely stunned. When I get back, I should ... tell you a few things, I think. Important ones.

[isthatacactus]

Okay! There. There. [she doesn't know quite how to approach this so sympathy seems the best way to go for the moment. But there is something about time... time....] Is there an IHOP? [she could catch up?]

[takeitsleazy]

Unfortunately, no, we can't get to an IHOP from here. The mirror is kind of the closest thing we've got, and that only works when people come in. Tell you what! When I get back we can go to the Carnation Cafe and get pancakes, and then it can kind of be like an IHOP.

[isthatacactus]

And then you will tell me the bad news...

[takeitsleazy]

It's not bad news, Janet. I'm just from a spot on the Jeremy Bearimy that's a lot farther along than you. And I should tell you some things that happened. They're mostly good things, actually.

[isthatacactus]

Okay! I will wait for the good news.
