Two questions, Zion:

1. What would you trade for one cat's worth of fresh meat?
2. What the fuck is happening?

Cheers.

One cat's worth.

text

[dostoevsky]

No more, no less.
Average size, I think.

text

[rathercommon]

OK, is it actually a cat?

text

[dostoevsky]

That's a good question.
It looks like a cat.
It meows like a cat.
It sheds all over my clothes like a cat.

But last I heard, cats were extinct.

text

[rathercommon]

Wait HOLD ON.
Cats are supposedly EXTINCT and your first instinct when you, against ALL probability, find one is to SELL IT FOR MEAT??

text

[dostoevsky]

I'm open to selling it for any number of things.

text

[rathercommon]

Well, offer it for companionship first!! Honestly, there are SO many people here who have SUCH a rough time of things, a living creature to take care of will be worth SO much more to them than a mouthful of meat. HONESTLY.

text

[dostoevsky]

People having a rough time of things probably aren't the people I'm looking for here.
But if someone with goods to trade wants to play with their food for a while, that's none of my business.

text

[rathercommon]

NO ONE IS GOING TO EAT THAT CAT.

text

[dostoevsky]

You'll have to take that up with whomever buys it from me.

text

[rathercommon]

FINE. I'll buy it from you.

text

[dostoevsky]

If you outbid everyone else.

text

[rathercommon]

I'll buy it RIGHT NOW. The offer is going fast.

text

[dostoevsky]

I don't doubt that your pockets are deep, Ms. Temple [ I'm going to pretend he knows her fake surname, if she's never said it on the network, whatever, he knows people ] but there had better be more in them than sweets.

text

[rathercommon]

Sweets go for a LOT in trade. They're luxury goods.

text

[dostoevsky]

Maybe so, but I'm not going to eat them.
I don't know anyone who wants them and can't get them without going around me.
Bad business decision.

text

[rathercommon]

Something for trade is something for trade. You don't need a monopoly, do you.

text

[dostoevsky]

Not any more than you need a cat.

text

[rathercommon]

The point isn't to get a cat. The point is to AVOID RENEWED EXTINCTION OF AN ENTIRE SPECIES.

text

[dostoevsky]

Unless you have another cat, that's going to happen anyway.
She'll just be stringier when it does.

text

[rathercommon]

One cat's shown up. It's definitely not impossible that a second will too.

[alsohawkeye]

[ where is kate on this day can she even text i don't know but whatever ]

'What the fuck is happening?' is definitely my question, too.

[dostoevsky]

[ SHE BETTER BE IN ZION or Rocket's mom is going to be gross by the time Jomi finds her. ]

I was counting on you to know, Bishop, come on.

[dissent]

You killed a cat?

[dostoevsky]

Not yet. If you want it butchered and prepared that will cost you extra.

[dissent]

If you harm a single whisker, I swear by the Maker it will be the last thing you do.

[ that escalated quickly. ]

Got any takers yet?

[dostoevsky]

There's a kid trying to trade me candy for it.

[unwrit]

This is the part where I say "how the mighty have fallen". Isn't it.

text;

[dostoevsky]

Not if you want to live.

text;

[unwrit]

I thought we were in the cat killing business.

text;

[dostoevsky]

You're probably the same consistency. No one will be able to tell the difference.

text;

[unwrit]

The same consistency.
