[PRP] One of these cats is unlike the other. (Deacon/Riyo)

[Sexy Cocaine]

Riyo loved the cool breezes of the approaching chilly season, but she didn't necessarily enjoy taking walks out in it. Encounter rates on friendly people seemed to be high these days, and honestly the feline was sick of being bombarded by questions and smiles every time she set foot outside of the dorm.

Which is why her window was open today. The cool wind danced across her desk and kissed the papers on her desk as she worked on them, a content sigh following. The sound of the wind was accented by classical music undertones softly playing from the ghoul's record player in the corner of her room. Yes, it was a good day to be inside. Even her army of cats seemed keen to lay around and nap the day away. Not that they didn't most days.

Though, Riyo had made a minor miscalculation. She'd forgotten to get something to eat beforehand, and her stomach was growling. As much as the idea made her cringe, the cafeteria seemed like the best option. She didn't want to walk to town. That would take too much time, and there was work to be done.

Tossing on her coat, the ghoul marched towards the door. "I'll be right back." She told the felines who seemed to completely ignore her (to which she was accustomed to). The door quietly closed behind her as she tried to hurry and grab something to go, figuring it was no big deal if she left it unlocked. It wasn't like she would be gone longer than a minute.

Not even five minutes had passed when the door swung open again and the ghoul reappeared with a to go box tucked under her arm. "I'm back." Riyo practically sighed as she closed the door behind her and tossed the box on the table. It looked like she was about to have a seat, but a particular scent caught her nose.

"What the?" Immediately she turned and looked around her room, a little confused when she saw an orange tabby examining her quarters. "... Huh." She could've sworn for just a moment that... Nevermind.

"Well hey there." It didn't seem that she would make the connection between the orange tabby and the fact that Deacon had a similar color scheme, luckily for him. "Now where did you come from?" Though seconds after asking the question, the blowing curtains in the corner of her eye answered for the feline.

With a small smile, the ghoul approached the cleverly disguised Deacon, a hand reaching out to scratch behind his ears. "You need a place to stay?"

Though, unfortunately for Deacon, a certain hazcat laying behind the translucent drapes of Riyo's canopy bed had seen everything... And he wasn't about to let the bakeneko overstep his bounds if he could help it.

"I guess that's a yes." Riyo mused, a rarely-seen sincere smile crossing her lips. For once, the ghoul actually looked mildly happy, as if just the idea of a new 'friend' made her hopeful. Something she would really never show in public.

Standing back up straight, the cat ghoul sighed and removed her coat, a nice long-sleeved button up shirt just underneath. Riyo wasted no time tossing the coat and her hat on the rack specifically made for them. "You know, if you had been a student barging in here, I would've done everything in my power to brutally end you." Was she hinting that she knew something? Not at all, actually. It was more the fact that the feline talked to herself a lot when she was 'alone'.

Without a moment's hesitation, the ghoul reached down to pick up the new addition to her herd of lazy minipets. "Now what shall I call you?" The ghoul mulled the thought over as she walked over to her bed and had a seat on the edge. "How about... Fredrick." Well. At least it wasn't Mr. Fuzzums. "It's an honorable sounding name, no?" As if a bribe to get the cat to like the name, the ear scratching resumed.

Silently, Felix crept up upon the two, a low growl reverberating from his throat. Oh no, this was not going to fly. Glancing over her shoulder, Riyo's brow raised. "What the hell is wrong with you, Felix?" He had never acted this way before. In fact, he always seemed happy when a new cat joined their ranks.

As Deacon cleverly meowed out his taunt to Felix, Riyo seemed even more enchanted by the cute little creature on her lap. He was so well-behaved. "Fredrick it is." The ghoul nodded to herself with a smile.

Though, the smile was short-lived, as Felix lunged for the orange tabby in her lap. He couldn't exactly bite the b*****d, but he could certainly claw his little eyes out!

Riyo practically leapt up as fast as she possibly could with her hands around "Fredrick". Whether she was fast enough to avoid damage to the poor cat or not she wasn't sure yet.

"FELIX." She shouted at the Hazcat angrily, red eyes practically burning holes in his fur. "GET IN THE CLOSET."

The closet? But he was only trying to help! The hazcat's ears fell back against his as he looked up at Riyo with unseen puppy dog eyes... Though that didn't change her expression. There was no changing her mind.

With a rather pathetic mew, Felix dragged his paws in getting to the closet, Riyo following behind to slam the door shut behind him. "I'll have none of that." It looked as if Felix was being made an example, for all the other cats in the room had seen and immediately retreated into the room she reserved specifically for them. Nobody else was apparently eager for the closet.

As soon as the nergal was taken care of, Riyo looked down at the tabby with sad eyes. "Are you alright?"  

[Sexy Cocaine]

Oh no. As Riyo noticed the drips of red, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a clean handkerchief before sitting down at her desk. "Here. I'll get that." The ghoul spoke softly, adjusting him so that she could easily dab his nose. "I'm so sorry... He doesn't usually do that." She tried to explain, as if afraid the tabby would hate her. "I could get you a bowl of milk. Or maybe some tuna. Would that make it better?" It was obvious she was thoroughly ready to spoil this wolf in cat's clothing, even if the reason was writing a wrong that hadn't actually BEEN wrong. "Or scratch behind your ears more. Every cat likes that." Not that Riyo would admit that she liked it too. Then everyone would be exploiting her weakness.

Riyo couldn't help but laugh a little when "Fredrick" eagerly left her lap in favor of the goods she had offered. He was a smart one, too. "Alright, alright." The ghoul shook her head and got back on her feet. "C'mon. Into the kitchen then."

With the rhythmic precision of a person who had completed the task over one hundred times, Riyo reached up into the cabinets and grabbed an expensive looking bowl, filling it to the brim with milk from the fridge before placing it in the microwave. And while she waited on that, the can opener emerged from one of the drawers to break open a fresh can of tuna. Ah, what a pleasant smell. Riyo seemed to recall her hunger when the aroma filled the kitchen, though she did not take any for herself. It was all placed in an identical bowl that the milk had been deposited in and placed on the floor, the warm liquid following shortly after. "There you are."

By now, her own meal which sat in a cold take-out box on the table had grown... A little mobile. Such was the food from the cafeteria. If you didn't eat it fast... It sprung to life.

Cringing as Riyo saw the box twitch, she immediately grabbed it and chucked it out the window. "... Oh well." The ghoul sighed and poured herself a glass of milk instead. "That's a pound I won't be gaining..." Like she wasn't a twig already.  

[Sexy Cocaine]

"Well aren't you a hungry little ********?" She asked with a laugh, shaking her head as she chugged down her glass of milk. After the tabby had polished off both bowls, Riyo carefully reached down to place both of them in the sink. "I'm glad you liked it. Even though your breath is gonna smell." Not that it ever stopped her.

Turning on her heel, the ghoul walked back out of the kitchen and sat down at her desk...

... And remained there until it became dark. Damn. It was obvious when she stood up and cracked her neck that she had probably been uncomfortable the whole time. "Bedtime." A yawn followed as the feline was barely able to get the words out. Was that all she did in a day?

Moving over towards the closet, she finally opened the door.

And out popped a very ashamed looking Felix. Ears folded back, the nergal took slow strides out of the small room. "I'll leave you in there even longer should you fail to get along with the other cats." It was the only warning the hazcat received before Riyo entered and slammed the closet door behind herself... To change.

Which begged the question: What does the usually formal clad feline wear to bed?  

[Sexy Cocaine]

Felix trained his eyes on Deacon as he heard the door slam behind his master, quiet paws carefully treading away from the situation, but never taking his... Lenses off his new arch nemesis. Oh, the nergal wanted to maul him. He didn't like Deacon on a normal day, and this was ten times worse. Moreover, to avoid an angry Riyo, he would have to sleep somewhere else tonight. Yes, he'd been through this ritual before.

Just as the hazcat hopped up on a dresser, the closet door opened. Rubbing her eyes, the feline's ears twitched as she stepped out. No sounds of hissing and ripping flesh. Looked like she'd got her point across.

The result of the wait was... Slightly disappointing. Red, long-sleeved pajamas appeared to be the ghoul's normal bedtime attire. What a shame. One by one, the lights flipped off and left the room in darkness. Not that it mattered to a cat. Quiet feet padded over and parted the fabric of the canopy, curling up under the covers and falling silent, though her eyes remained open.
