Iris had been told by ********* who had been told through ********* Pi via Zia who had been told by Realgar the time had come to get the cats. A part of the eternal senshi had wished she hadn't opened her big mouth, since she hated cats. Yes she lived with a Mauvian on occasion, but Iris had long learned the difference between Mauvian and straight-up cat.
However, there she was, standing on one of the swings, swinging around and waiting for the Captain to show up.
She made a promise, and she wasn't going to be the one to break it.

The motorcycle growled and popped as it slowed to a stop, giving way to the sounds of resentful cats. Not that Realgar could blame them. Vigorously strapping their carriers to a motorcycle for even a short ride wasn't exactly something he would normally do, but he just didn't feel safe taking his car anyplace around someone who could put two and two together on his identity. Given that he was planning to purify, he supposed it wasn't actually as suicidally dumb as it might have been before, but habits that became ingrained were hard to break. Mac took up one carrier by himself, the massive irritated Tom glaring out from inside, while Thingie and Jo were sharing a container and sympathizing with each other in loud chorus.
He felt as bad for them as he did for Iris, even though he didn't know she didn't like cats, she was still taking on three strange animals who were probably going to cop an attitude for anywhere between hours to days. Jo was the one he was most worried about, the fluffy princess was almost as old as Mac. Mac didn't care where he was as long as he had food, but Jo had a rougher history and a more delicate personality, and was likely to be particularly unsettled, even with the list of information he'd brought.
Was this fair? It was only temporary... he kept reminding himself of that, but he was still a bit... on edge.
Still...
"...Well that looks like fun..."
He remembered doing that with the swings when he was younger... and lighter.
"Thanks again for this..." He wasn't sure what the hell else to say. She was helping him not loose his pets.

The senshi glanced back towards the sound of the monster-vehicle, but remained on the swing. Two carriers. This guy was obviously a cat guy.
She rolled her eyes slightly before he approached, still swinging standing up.
"...I'm too tall for this sh*t in all honesty..." she mentioned after her drew closer. 6 foot tall girls didn't exactly fit too easily on the swings when standing up unless they stooped slightly.
Now that he was closer, she stepped off the swing with one large step. Dusting off her skirt slightly, she answered "...it ain't a big deal... just would suck t'lose yer buddies over somethin' like this an' all..."
Dog ownership has been a relatively new thing in this lifetime, but she knew the pain of loss. It might have come a thousand years late, but that feeling still a burden, no matter how much time passed.
"....soooooo... who are th' f*ckers anyways?"

"It's a big deal." Realgar argued back, with a thin flash of smile. "The huge one that may or may not eat chihuahua's in his spare time is Mac, the fluffy one is Jo, and the white and black one is Thingie."
He realized as he introduced them how ridiculous the names probably sounded, each of them having been named sort of offhandedly during time periods where he thought they'd be moving on to new homes. Other cats had, but these ones had just made it quietly clear that they were where they wanted to be, and their 'temporary' names had stuck.
"They aren't declawed but they are fixed."

One name seemed to stand out in comparison to the rest.
"....Thingie...?" With a casual shake of the head, she leaned down to peer into the carriers.
"...so... there's three then?" She had been hoping for only two, but apparently two were stuffed in one of the carriers. Her dog would probably have a few scratch marks by the time this whole ordeal was over. However, that wasn't so much of a big deal to her.
"...anythin' else I should know 'bout yer cats?" was the next logical question as she straightened herself up again.
A cat person she was not. Not even an attempt to stick a finger into pet one of the creatures.

"It's short for Thingamajigger." He explained. "Long story, probably boring."They're apt to sulk a bit, especially Jo, but I don't think they should be too awful? . "There's a third carrier I can go get but they barely fit on the bike as is."
And teleporting was draining, not something he liked to do at the best of times. Let alone being unsure how the animals would take it.

There was a moment of silence after the clarification about the name. "...that doesn't help yer case any..." The tomboy shook her head when he mentioned running off to get a third carrier. "...naw... I've only got two arms and I'd rather jus' get them back in one trip..." Speaking of said arms, she reached out to take the carriers from his hands. "...you got the food for these guys too, or do ya need me t'get some and junk...?" Her eyes rolled up to the sky as she thought of another question. "...are ya one of those people that does th'feeding schedule bullcrap?" The way she dealt with Aque was to leave him food and let him graze during the day. It was just easier that way, but she had heard that it was supposedly better to give animals a feeding schedule. That sh*t was dumb. Ryuthulhu Hi, here, have a tag since ur in bed and messaging you would be lame ;P ~ <3

"I had limited space so I wrote down the band they eat and bought as big a gift card for a place that carries it as I could." He responded. "I don't think they can actually burn through the amount on the card but if you've got pets or know someone who does I figured you could use it on that... Oh and litterbox... not full obviously but it's in the saddlebag." He patted around, pulling out the gift card and holding it out, and added with a slightly challenging look and a half smile. "And I defend Thingamajigger over "Fluffy" Or "Mittens". But like I said, long story and I don't think we need to be hanging around that long. But no, they don't have a schedule, they eat when they want.

"....litter..... box...?"
Further proof that Iris was not a cat person. She never had to really worry about *********, but that was mostly because she was a sentient being who apparently had figured that sort of stuff out on her own time. It sounded as if her plan to just keep them in their carriers that whole time was not going to work.
Maybe she could con the manx into watching over the cats. Find one room in the house and just keep them in there...
That could work...
With a partial nod, she held a hand out for whatever he was going to hand to her first. "...okay... I think I got it all figured out. Let's do this and get it over with... I'll bring'em with me on the first..."

"...Are you... sure you can handle this?" Realgar couldn't quite keep a certain hint of... incredulity out of his voice now. Maybe this was an awful idea. Maybe they'd be better off... uh... somewhere else. He just wasn't exactly sure where else.
He gave her a slightly sidelong look as he held out the lighter carrier, which was ironically the one with two cats in it, Mac staring balefully from the other one at the inexperienced cat handler.

An indignant snort escaped the yellow suited senshi.
"Yeah, I can handle this..." Sounded like he was looking the gift horse in the mouth right now, and as Iris grabbed the first carrier, she somewhat jerked it back to make the ride a bit bumpier for whatever passengers were inside.
"...and if I can't handle it... I've got a cat who will make sure they've got everythin' they need..."
Perhaps that was the real selling point, even if Mauvians were not quite the same level as Earth cats.

"Hm." Realgar seemed to still have a few doubts, she might be able to handle purification and youma, but these were his cats. An entirely different affair. At least she had help.
"Fine. Not like I've got a lot of options right now anyway." He noted, forcing a thin smile. They were tough cats, they could handle it, even if it took forever for them to forgive him afterward.
"Thanks again, by the way."
He was counting on her for a hell of a lot after all.

As everything got organized and soon enough she had managed to gather all the things he had planned to pack her up with, she mentioned in a plain tone "...ya wanna show me yer thankful? Then f*ckin' show up on New Year's Day... I'll be 'round towards the evenin' time... less people in the park and all that jazz... I'll have a teammate or two with me, it won't be hard to find us I am sure..."
Before he could retaliate verbally, the blonde had already turned around and started to walk off with the cats and the infamous litter-box at hand. Rather notably, she stopped when she got to the edge of the park and waited for a bit.
Perhaps her trust was not as blind as the trust of others, for she waited until she was certain that this Negaverse agent was out of the vicinity before powering down.
Last thing she needed to do was to bring home an ambush.
"...til New Year's..." she murmured before starting up again.
