A castle is a big, somewhat spooky place. Especially when it’s in a dark, spooky extradimensional realm. And doubly so when the one wandering around is less than a foot tall, such as the small, wide-eyed kitten wandering around the Negaverse HQ. He’d been told in no uncertain terms that to wander beyond this building and the attached barracks would be a terminally bad idea. While he really couldn’t remember how he’d ended up here in the first place, he was inclined to take that warning to heart…so he confined himself to staying within the castle’s walls, sniffing around, jumping onto and into things, and, of course, napping in all the best places. One of those such best places was a surprisingly nice chair, situated next to a fireplace that seemed not even slightly sinister (which seemed somehow disappointing, given negaspace’s overall feel). He was certain it was a spot meant for much larger beings than he (such as the agents that were constantly busy-bodying around the place), but that didn’t matter. It was a nice spot for a tiny kitten to lay splayed out, a pleased look on his tiny face as he had himself a very nice snooze.

Vitriol did not become immune to its allergies when it became a half-youma. It also had not cured its love of animals. Despite it not being top tier dogs, cats were still very much up there. Aside from youma and agents, nothing else lived in the Negaverse and it left Vit wishing just for the sound of birds or traffic noises. It was also nice just to - touch a living thing. It was rather lonely in the barracks.
It was what made its heart jump when it saw the kitten resting. Not only was it a guardian, but it was the smallest, most peacefully looking thing Vitriol had seen in some time. Oh, its heart melted a bit just looking at it's little body breath in and out by the fireplace. Regardless of what weather was happening up in Earth, the Negaverse had it's own weather and often times was cool if not a bit cold in the barren hallways.
Moving closer, it stifled a sneeze and crouched by the chair that the kitten laid across. Then, with large, glowing yellow eyes, the half-youma agent watched it.

Chip was completely oblivious to his observer for a while, and then a mote of dust landed on his nose, which twitched once, twice, then he sneezed and woke up...suddenly face to face with a very interesting looking person. He blinked a few times, making sure it was really there. After confirming there really was a fuzzy-looking person in front of him, he stretched slowly, yawned, and then, finally, said, “Heyyy, where’d you come from? I was just taking a little break...”

In the time watching, Vit had suppressed about 14 sneezes and had one paw over it's mouth, stiffing the noises of the few sneezes that managed to get past it. This had left its eyes watering, but it still very much enjoyed watching the cat sleep. It was nice to see a living thing around just openly enjoying the place and the fact it was sleeping made the castle feel much more lived in and homey.
When the kitten woke, it startled a bit but was somehow still glad to have the kitten's attention.
"Oh, I was just passing by. I saw you and - I don't see many guardians. I didn't want to wake you and -" And you looked very cute. It left that part out.
Then, now free from any concentrated effort to keep it back, the half-youma sneezed. "Excuse me." It said with a sniff of it's nose.

“Ah, that’s okay,” Chip declared happily. “I like talking~ and I can nap any time!” He nodded, and bumped his little hat to adjust its position and he stood up. “Are you feeling sick? You look a little sniffly...maybe you should be the one having a nap here!” He sort of wanted to ask the person(?) what he(?) was, and was looking the fuzzy, tail-wagging creature up and down curiously, but Chip decided that there was a whole lot he didn’t remember, so would just...let it go until he figured it out on his own.

"Oh, nonono. I'm not sick. I'm just - well, I'm allergic to cats. Uh, not that you are just a cat. I know you are a guardian it's just I get stuffed up and sneeze and then my eyes water. The doctors at the infirmary have given me allergy meds now but I don't have them on me and left them in my room. I didn't know I'd see a kitten today. Oh, are you a kitten? I should have asked. You might be older but you are very small." It's shoulders hitched again and Vit let out another loud sneeze.
"Sorry." It sniffled again. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Vitriol."

“Truthfully, Mr. Vitriol,” the cat replied, tail swishing slowly behind him. “I don’t really know~ I can’t remember much of anything! But I think I am.” He nodded. “My name’s Chip, I’m a Guardian Cat, yup! The best Guardian Cat, I’m sure!” He giggled lightly, and looked around. “Maybe you should have some of that medicine,” he suggested. “Where do you sleep? Do you have a room like the Agents do? I mostly just sleep where ever, uh, you know, in the castle.”

"Oh. I didn't think that Mauvians might forget their memories too. I suppose it's because you aren't just some normal cat." It thought out loud.
"It's *sneeze* - sorry. It's nice to meet you, Chip. I have a room in the barracks. It's not as comfortable as here. I can get the medicine now if you *sneeze* wouldn't mind. I'd like to talk to you more." It would like to just talk to anyone. There often wasn't anyone to chat with who wasn't busy or leaving to go home.

"Well," Chip said cheerily, and brushed himself up against Vit, heedless of the sneezing his presence was causing. (Couldn't make it any worse, he figured.) "Us Guardian cats get awakened just like all the other powered people. Mine was just a little, uh" he wiggled from side to side, "weird, I guess. Cuz I only remember a couple of faces and some machines." He nodded at that, as if it explained everything, even if it clearly didn't. "You should give me a ride to your barracks! I wanna see everything from up high!"

"Oh. I thought you all just knew. Or were raised by others like you." It never really asked the details of Mauvians before to ask because it usually was sneezing too much.
To which it sneezed a few more times.
"I can take you." Moving over, Vitriol knelt on the ground and leaned forward against the couch allowing access to its shoulders. "Climb up and I'll *sneeze* take you there."

"Nope!" Chip declared as he hopped up onto Vit's shoulders, and rubbed his head on the strange creature's cheek. "Maybe I was, but I can't remember~ I know a bunch of random things, but not stuff about me." He looked around. "It's like being on a shelf...that moves, and is soft!" he laughed happily after saying that.

It's eyes were starting to water and there was an almost constant itch inside its stuffy nose. Cats were great but it was sad that it couldn't enjoy them without a catch.
"Just hang on. I'd hate for you to fall from that high up." Chip's fur was soft and warm against Vit's neck and cheek and instantly uplifted its mood.
"You're very soft too. I will tell you that I have forgotten things too. Being human in the everyday. I know I'm part human now but anything about being raised one is gone. So we are kind *sneeze* of the same."
"Do you have a caretaker, Chip? Someone who watches over you? A superior?"

"I have pretty good balance," Chip replied confidently. "I won't fall...but I'll stay close." His tail brushed around behind him slowly. He was aware that the sneezing was caused by him, but the little cat just couldn't bring himself to worry about it--overall he felt very wanted right in this moment, which was nice. "Well, uh, I guess General Hessonite is my superior, but I think that's a," he paused, rocking his head from side to side as he considered, "Temporary thing, until I have a proper 'boss' or something. That's why I'm staying here!"

"Hessonite? I don't recall the name." It admitted as they walked.
Its room wasn't far from the common areas and it made his way down the hallways where doors lined either wall and came.to his own. The door know was littered with claw marks.
Unlocking the door, it brought Chip inside and shut the door. Vitriol's room was nothing special. Barren of any person affects, it had a bookshelf with only one book in it (it had found it and decided to give it a read,) a dresser (it didn't own more than one set of clothes and a few shirts from the lost and found to sleep in,) a small table with a chair, and a bed. The bed itself had a wrinkled pillow with holes in the corners and a worn blanket torn at the corners.
Setting Chip down very gently, it picked up the allergy meds from its desk and worked to try and pop one out of the metallic sleeve.
"It's not much. I only came here recently."

Chip wiggled playfully as he was set down, and then proceeded to look all around, poking his head under things, and hoping on top of everything he could manage, tail swishing happily the whole way. "Got more than me," he observed, not sounding even slightly bothered by that. "But I think I've seen more stuff in like... every kind of room in this place." At about that point, he noticed the book, and hopped up on things, scrambled a bit, and hopped again, until he finally made it up. Hopefully giving Vit time to get his medicine...while the kitten pawed at the book, looking it over curiously. "Don't read much, huh?"
