Welcome to Gaia! ::

Babylon didn't know a whole lot about moon kingdoms, so he just took all this like a history lesson that he'd been asleep for the first half of. Alternate histories didn't make a whole lot when you didn't know what they were alternate of in the first place, right?

"But you go to school here," he said seriously, keeping the glowstick pointed at her. He was still sort of stuck on that - how did a cat go to school? It didn't make any sense. "And you - you transform." He was also hung up on that - was that how she went to school?

And then he had a strange thought, that just like he was a human boy dressed up like an ancient knight, that maybe she was a girl dressed up like a cat. Babylon almost had to laugh at his own audacity. That was ridiculous, wasn't it?

He kept his eyes and his (admittedly useless) weapon trained on the cat. "What do you transform into?" he propositioned quietly. "Can you show me?"

Babylon boggled at her for a moment, struck dumb by the fact that, in front of his eyes, a cat had transformed itself not only into a girl but into a rather pretty and exotic looking girl. He'd been right! How did that make any sense at all? And the power surge when she did it - like sticking his finger in an electrical socket. What was that?!

He was so dumbstruck, in fact, that it took him a moment to process what the cat said when she poked her head back out of the gutter. But once it connected, he didn't need to be told twice.

Babylon leapt to his feet and took off running after the cat. "Well!" he shouted after her. "What are we waiting for?" He whooped with excitement and leapt from the roof to the field below. Was this terrifying? Well, sort of.

But it was also awesome.
