 Sometimes he wished he was just friggen blind. The sunlight bothered him more than most, fluorescent lights were usually too bright for him to look at directly at night, and . . . God. His supposed gift of extremely sharp eyesight (only obtained after various testing methods at the Facility), while nice to have when he wanted to feel superior and be the only cat he knew that could count all the spots on a dalmatian while it was running away from him, was useless in two areas: one, it made him much too aware of the nasty details on food most animals wouldn't be bothered by (once, Nemesis was able to see some form of tiny parasites that made him quickly forgo the idea of eating at all); two, he had no friends to brag to anyway.
But really, who needed them?
Seeking shelter from the summer sun, the young snowshoe was skittering from beneath roof to roof, and without much thought to where he was going he soon found himself near the entrance of a particularly vivacious looking building. "CASINO ROYAL" read the sign; utter gibberish as far as Nemesis was concerned. He was still getting used to the idea of "hunting" and "actual food" as it was. "Casino" . . . sounded like oodles and oodles of fun, he thought dryly, hearing various sound effects inside. And scents. Nice, delicious scents.
"Tch . . ." Typical that his stomach would be wanting to make him go into a strange place just to get a meal, and a place that clearly would bother his eyes or hurt his ears.

Denali had been working really hard today. Organizing the music, helping teach the new bartender the drinks and how things went. She hurried over to the tables to toss out someone who was hitting on her staff. "AND STAY OUT YOU PIECE OF s**t!" She yelled after him as he rolled down the stairs from the door. She growled. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she took off her glasses to rub at them. She was stressed as of late. He hated that she didn't have time to spend with her Madness...he wasn't around much at the moment and she felt sad. And Ichi had been a little reluctant to be around anyone since his fight with his dad. She sighed and looked around and saw a small kitten not far away. He was wearing one of those collars that her kids had had on when they had gotten out of...that horrible place! Her fur bristled and she walked down the steps and stepped over the fallen male and walked to towards the male. "Hello over there. Are you ok?" she asked as she smiled. He was a snowshoe like her. She hadn't seen another one in a long time.Spicy Marmalade! Now that it's exploded into being, seize hold of this evening's chance.

The young tom's reaction was instinctual when he heard the foreboding sounds of fighting within, ears flattening; he was disgusted with how quickly he was to turn defensive. Sheesh, this wasn't like he was involved -
Well, then the body came flying out and, thinking he would be hit, Nemesis yowled and leapt back, fur on end as he glared at the prone form of the man, and then up at the angry woman who strode out - the angry woman that then smiled at him and asked how he was doing.
Yeah. Um. Nemesis suspected bipolar. He wasn't sure whether to be more wary of this fact, or grudgingly admire how far she threw the guy.
"Nearly got me squashed, lady," the kitten grumbled, relaxing somewhat though still half in a state of defense. "Watch it." Maybe he should try and get away before the adult got any funny ideas about throwing him too . . . Nemesis had a skewed view of adults, never having seen them out and about with freedom in the Facility - or much less capable of a smile. To him it was just a quirk of the mouth to get you to come closer, and no way in hell was he going to do so.
Still . . . "You got food in there?"

Denali smiled warmly at the little male and laughed. She stopped a safe distance away and watched him as she got lower to his level. "Ok i'll be careful mon cheri." she said as she curled her tail about her feet. "Food? Oui i have lots of food and drinks inside. Would you like to come in little one?" she asked with a smile. She stood and pushed the unconscious male out of the way of the bottom of the steps and smiled. "You can come up, get warm, and have some food. I would never hurt a child and another of my same breed is always welcome here with me at my place of business and my home." She said with a smirk as she put her glasses back on and pushed her hair back a bit from her face.

Okay, what the hell did she just call him? He frowned at the sudden introduction to the foreign language, not able to place it and not liking that he couldn't. Nemesis also didn't appreciate the "little one" comment either, snorting as he puffed his fur out some to prove her wrong. "Talk to me in English, lady," he said, not really caring too much right now that they were the same breed or whatever; hell, he didn't even know what he was anyway. "M'not in the mood. Just show me food or whatever and I'll help myself." He was the type that got in bad moods when he didn't get fed.
That was the funny thing back at the Facility; cats being tested on were always made sure to be fed properly, in order to see maximum results. Assuming there were any. Dry kernels, yes, but food nonetheless.
He noticed that earlier the woman decided to stare at his collar too, which made him all the more self-conscious and annoyed. He was definitely not going to tolerate another mamby-pamby "Awww, you're from the Facility" schpeel again. All he wanted to do was to forget that place, man.

Denali smiled and nodded as she motioned up the stairs to the door. "Please go in then. I'll follow you." she said as she smiled. "I'll refrain from using any of my french then." she said with another soft smile. He reminded her of Ichi, her Ichi. She looked at him as they moved up the stairs. "What do you like to eat the most? I have alot of stuff so just mention something tat you might like the most." she said as she looked at his collar again. "Did you know a three legged male cat in there?" Cheshire and Wylde didnt have distinguishing marks about them besides Cheshire's blind eye. "My kittens were in there. If you had seen them then maybe you would like to meet them." She said. She wondered if he would want to be friends with someone else that had been through a similar hell that he had been through. Denali didn't know many others that went through the same pain that Ichi had with loosing his arm but he had told her that he had met a female from there with a metal arm.

So it was called "French". Vaguely noting it, Nemesis entered the casino at the adult's discretion, immediately hissing softly when he was bombarded by loud music and various flashing lights - it was mostly the sound that got him more, and he flattened his ears, quickly darting alongside the wall as they darted up the stairs. He didn't speak until they were a decent distance away from the hellish clashes. "Maybe. Dunno." He didn't make a point to bother remembering the cats' faces, seeing as some weren't gonna be seen again if an experiment went wrong, or if they happened to escape. He envied those types, the ones able to facilitate their own plan to get out; he was never able to. Although sure, he had seen a few missing limbs, cut tails, sporting bruises and broken bones; Nemesis probably did see one of them but wasn't able to recall.
Funny this woman's kids were in there too. More ironic was thinking that a three-legged cat was able to get out and he couldn't with four perfectly good ones and pretty great eyesight to boot. Mood souring even more, he glared at whatever happened to be in front of them as they moved, stomach grumbling softly. "Any food, I don't care." He had no time to be picky.

She smiled at him and caught the slightly upset look to his face. "Oh don't think that he really did that himself. He was in so much pain, he had just lost his arm not long before my Madness, their father, broke in and stole them back. He was hardly himself when we got him back. Hes not...really mentally hurt, just emotionally and of course the arm." she was sure that the trauma from it all had caused something to...slip in his head and he might not be really right there but it wasn't something purposefully done by the humans there. She smiled as she opened the fridge in the kitchen and took out some salmon, fresh, some tuna. She grabbed some cooked chicken and some bread. "Help your self. What would you like to drink?" she asked as she looked over her options. "Juice, water, cream, milk?" she said as she looked back at him. He was so cute, so adorable. She hadn't met another like her since coming to Japan.
