Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chip was starting to get the hang of where he was at any given moment in this Negaverse Castle. It was big, and scary, and he was certain he was one of the smallest things moving around on its own here...

But that just meant more places to poke his head into. Meeting rooms, generals’ offices (those could be scary, but so many interesting smells!), some store rooms. Chip was mentally categorizing every room, trying to hold a map in his mind of the whole place.

That was hard, of course, so the kitten took numerous naps...generally speaking, in out of the way places. Sometimes, though, he’d choose more...inconvenient places. Why?

Why not??

Today’s resting place of choice...directly on the keyboard of one of the computers in the Negaspace computer lab. One of these days he’d have to figure out how to use one, but for now...it was a perfect bed, and he didn’t care who saw him do it.

The sound of a click of some kind--admittedly, Chip couldn't quite place it just yet, but he surely would know the sound soon enough--woke the small Mau up, and he blinked awake, picking his head up and looked around.

It took only a moment before his gaze centered on an Agent holding a tablet...he was pretty sure said tablet was pointed at him. "Hii!" he declared happily. "What was that?"

The kitten had a lot of really arbitrary knowledge that he couldn't remember the origin of, but it was all kinds of jumbled up...So he just asked about everything he couldn't poke apart himself.

And ask questions he did. So many questions. Possibly too many questions. Some of them were, perhaps, painfully obvious things, but he was still trying to sort out the jumble of words and ideas in his head: Separate notions from fact. Reality from fantasy.

Fantasy from things to make not fantasy anymore. Oh, the possibilities that sprang to mind as he prattled on with any officer that found themselves in the computer lab. Ideas to improve things. Perhaps not all good ideas… But he still filed them away in his mind for things to try out later. Weapons! Tools! Toys! Inspiration struck from many sources.

Thinking about all these things, he was convinced of his need to explore more of the castle: Find more useful things, and useful places. Possibly useful people, too, but that was secondary to the things he could retrieve, change, replace, enhance…

Yes, once he’d mapped out more of the place in his mind, then he’d know where to get started. And possibly help him decide what to get started on. Maybe he’d take apart one of these computers, see how it ticked, and why they were so boringly square and same-y. For machines as useful as what these apparently were to the humans, they had so little style to them!

But…today was not the day to do that. No, all this excitement of learning tired the kitten out, and he curled up on top of a computer monitor for another nice cat nap, before he went about the business of exploration once again.
