Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tetra didn't answer the question, instead he raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. When he hand was taken, he allowed it to be moved, and even looked a bit surprised.

The tiny cat arrived in his hand, and he placed the other gently on top, just in time to keep Chip from using the man's shoulder as a chariot. Instead, he wriggled in place before saying, "If you're gonna hold me, you're gonna pet me, minion!"

Tetra sighed, and gently petted as instructed, as he gave the address. "It's not too much of a walk, especially if we cut straight across the rooftops."

There were a few things about this 'job' that were definitely nice.

Thanks to his day job, Tetra had a bit of experience with people making eyes at him, and subtle flirting. It came with the territory of dealing with college students while being not too much older than them...And being reasonably good looking.

Still. His eyebrows went up at how direct Chara was about it. He gave the compliment just a small nod, and an extra petting to Chip, who didn’t seem to care in the least about what the humans were talking about.

Holding the cat carefully, Tetra maneuvered his way pretty much directly at the address, which involved going up and over. Shortly, they were at the place without any issues at all.


Chip looked it over and said, “Teleporting is boring. Besides, stores have security. Naw, let me at it!” He wriggled in Tetra’s hand until the man loosened his grip, and the kitten jumped down. After sauntering over to the door, he sniffed at it, tapped it with his paw, then produced out of the air a little gadget he’d built himself and got to work. “Just a minute~”

Tetra had a feeling he was being watched as they traveled, and not just for pathfinding. He decided to not check or remark upon that, though.

All the same, he couldn't help both his eyebrows raising at Chara's question and his stance stiffening ever so slightly. "As I understand it, you already did," he replied, choosing to ignore the obvious meaning, "As we are here, doing your bidding." he gestured in the direction of Chip, who was pawing at what appeared to be a pair of little glowing many-sided dice.

"How do I feel about that?" he went on evenly, "I feel that the Negaverse is an odd organization. Certainly keeps things...interesting."

"It has certainly been a...unique experience," Tetra replied with a small shrug. "As strange as it is, I don't think I'd object. And someone has to keep you at least somewhat grounded."

He gestured toward the kitten, just as the floating, spinning object flashed brightly once. "He clearly won't."


Chip giggled happily. "Perfect, now I can pick the lock without alarms!" he declared, and hopped about until he was in grabbing range of the door's lock, which would not keep him back for long!

"More loot for me then!" Chip replied cheerfully as the door made a little clicking noise, and it swung open, with him still gripping onto it. He dropped down. "Success~!"


Tetra sighed at the obvious 'misunderstanding.' "That too, I suppose. Let's try not to cause too many problems for whoever has to come here and find we've visited their store tonight."

He stepped forward as the tiny cat darted inside to inspect his prizes for ingenuity.

Chip found his way to the aisles, where he hopped his way up to a higher shelf, and started walking along it for a nice view, happily inspecting various possibilities, and only occasionally knocking things down.


"I suppose that's true," Tetra allowed, sounding extremely non-plussed. It wasn't so much that he had a strong aversion to breaking the law, as it struck him as pointless acts that could easily create more trouble than it was worth.

...Though the little mauvian seemed surprisingly adept at it.

"And I get the feeling Chip has done this before."

Tetra shrugged at that. "I've got enough work as it is," he said. "I'm sure they'll be fine." Other than that he just followed and watched for the moment as Chip merrily went about his way.


"Whaddya mean, 'stuck'?" Chip replied, pausing and looking down. Casually, he bumped a small package containing something shiny but uninteresting. Then again. And it fell down with a crunch. "I don't see anything sticky up here!"
