compnetwork | An Abundance of C/An Important Question [Video]

When the video starts, one will see Shoutarou standing outside of a pool hall - he adjusts his hat a bit before speaking.

"Hello, Hinoto-Ri. The name's Hidari Shoutarou, and I'm here with some news for you all, and a couple of questions.

To start, a rather unexpected thing has happened - whatever strange powers surround this place have seen fit to bring my detective agency building here. I suppose that means I'm stuck here for the long haul, I may as well start offering my services as a private detective. Just come see me in Pisces district, at the Narumi Detective Agency."

There's a pause, then Shou frowns and huffs. "...of course, whoever brought it here has a hell of a sense of humor, and put it across the street from the other Narumi Detective Agency..." The camera jerks, and points to the other one for a moment.

"The city's still working on getting power connected to the building, but I'm gonna call it open for business anyway now that I've moved in."

He clears his throat, and looks just a little more serious. "As for the questions - has anyone here heard of the Transmigration 9? It was where I was before I wound up here. Just wondering if any other crewmembers are here. My other question..." His face turns a bit awkward at this point. "...does anyone have any advice on taking care of a kitten? I've dealt with an adult cat that knows how to behave already before, to a degree, but a kitten is outside my experience."

[Oh, the guy from the other night. Is it...forward to- wait he's a private detective. That's, safe. Right? He did owe him...]

how old is the kitten, if you had to guess?
i know a lot about cats, i can try to help.

Ah, damn, I couldn't say. The extent of my knowledge of cats is 'feed it, water it, change the litter, and take it to the vet if something goes wrong'. It's young enough that it doesn't know to use the litterbox or to stay out of anything not nailed down.

most cats never grow out of messing things up.

but do you still have the adult cat? even if they aren't related, the older may help the younger "get" the cat box faster than your own efforts.

Well, can't blame a guy for hoping they could, eh?

I do, but... He's not very, ah, responsive to anyone but his actual owner, so I don't think he'd be any help in this situation.

not really. cats are the kind of pet that make you cross your fingers, despite knowing better.

he shuns the kitten? aw, that's sad. if he's an old tom, that's pretty common i guess.

what the other guy said applies- show him the catbox, make it accessible and in a place he can easily see, and newspaper the area. i wouldn't get a covered one until he's mastered it, either.

oh, and make sure you get organic litter, some kittens will attempt to eat it and can get sick.

They're certainly something, to say the least.

Not sure how old he is either - just know he's pretty cranky overall.

I'm not sure the little guy can get sick. He's ate a lot of stuff he shouldn't and, well, had no ill effects that I can see.

i'm...guessing you didn't decide to get cats, huh

where did you get the kitten from? 'transmigration 9'?

Not really, no - the older cat belongs to my partner. I'm taking care of it until either I go back, or he shows up.

Yeah, kitten showed up there a little before I wound up here. Little guy seemed kinda lost and aimless.

oh, that's good of you, most people would have gotten rid of them both

was it possibly separated from it's mother? actually, i can come by to check on 'him', it's not like i have anything else to do

you don't mind, do you?

I couldn't do that - my partner would kill me if I got rid of his cat. The little one, though... Much as he gets on my nerves, he's still someone that needs help.

It's possible. I know there were a number of cats on the ship, it's possible he's one of theirs.

I don't mind - just make sure it's the agency by the pool hall, not the other one.

i'll stop by in a couple days when i'm settled. i might actually be able to take him, if you're struggling with him. if he's as much of a handful as you say, it might be bad to have him around customers.

:)

Alright - putting him in the hands of someone who knows cats better than me is likely a good idea, so I'm all for it. The less potential customer annoyances, the better.

[At least, he says that over the COMP, but in actuality? Let's just say while he's glad for it to be empty at this moment, what he said isn't entirely true.

He didn't expect this to take a turn for missing folks from home, or their tendencies to put off potential customers...]
