A cat. A cat. A freaking cat.

Really.

What the hell.

If it wasn't for the still-alien weight on her non-armored shoulder, Fluorite probably would have refused to believe it. But there it was - her brother was a freaking cat. Eventually the situation would stop being awkward as all hell, and would then become hysterical, but she wasn't there yet.

...It was hard to resist the urge to pet him. She wasn't the biggest fan of cats, but really, she had to admit he was pretty cute.

Learning that he wasn't the only one was puzzling. Learning that Zinkenite of all was hit was hysterical, and it was probably only rank that kept her from prodding the grumpy kitty.

But come to think of it, she hadn't heard of Kess much lately...

And that was exactly why the girl-and-cat pair suddenly took form in the middle of Kess' living room. Fluorite had done this so much now that it had pretty much become common practice. And well, until the blonde got her a key to the front door, it was her only way in.

"Kess ?" She called out, powering down in mid-step.

Alunite was actually struggling to remember a time where he might have somehow be shorter than his sister. He was actually pretty sure such a thing had never happened, in spite of the two of them being renowned for their shortness, until now.

God damn this was embarrassing.

He'd hoped this would all wear off before he would have to actually go to her for help. No such luck, unfortunately, but now he found himself wondering how many had been affected, and if anyone had a god damn idea how to fix it.

Of course, Fluorite wanted to check on Howlite first, which was... well, unsurprising. He jumped off his sister's shoulder after she teleported in, and started sniffing at the air idly.

....Hmmm...
