Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chip had been out wandering Destiny City, looking for things of interest...He'd found some things. A very nice watch, for instance. Mostly nice because it was broken open and full of *gears*. The best kind of watch...

After a while he picked a particularly tall building (that he could still get to the top of, naturally) to have a good look around. What he found, though, was actually on top of the building, rather than below it.

The fluffiest pillow he'd ever seen was just laying there at a corner, asking to be laid upon. With a tiny kitty yawn and stretch, Chip decided:

It was time for a cat nap. No one could possibly complain, especially with such a fluffy pillow right there.


He pawed on over, realized there was the scent of someone else around, and decided, mine now, and simply kitten-flopped right onto it!

Not quite as pillowy as he'd like, but still very fluffy, so acceptable. He draped himself luxuriantly and sighed.

By the second bap, Chip was awake again! He reeled back, and then rolled away, his own paw raised threateningly. “Bad kitty!” He declared. “My pillow!”

Then he realized two important things:

First (and most importantly), it was a tail, not a pillow, oops.

And second, it appeared to be a Mauvian tail. Double oops.

Still. He got pawed, and was displeased by it, so he kept up his threatening pose...or as threatening as a tiny kitten with a top hat can manage, which is to say, mostly just small and cute. “Mean trick, luring me with promises of a soft bed and then hitting me! I should zap you for that!”

This cat was much bigger than Chip...but truthfully, that was true about most things, so it didn't faze him much.

All the same, when the big fluffball sat up all the way, he scooted back just a little bit. "It's definitely your fault! You were hiding out here with all that fluff, disguising yourself as a pillow!"

Sure, that was a little ridiculous, but ridiculousness was how Chip got his way.

"A big, fluffy, soft pillow, laid out to entice unsuspecting mauvians! For shame." He shook his head, and tail his tail flicked behind him with just a touch of amusement.

Chip considered for a moment. "Feather pillows are too prickly," he concluded. "The ones filled with fluff are way better." He nodded, as if what he said was absolute truth.

"I guess, though," he went on begrudgingly, "It's not really your fault your tail looks like such a perfect pillow. So, I guess maybe it's not your fault after all."

A pause. "Sorry, Mr. Fluff," he concluded. Felt weird to apologize, but it was always useful to have more associates.

"I'm Chip!" the tiny kitty declared. "That's kind of like 'tiny,' I guess..."

He stretched, then, and considered napping again. Finally, he nodded. "I could still use my nap, so if you don't mind, I'll stay here now. The temperature's just right, ya know!"

After a brief look around. "Might be a good spot to build something," he said thoughtfully. "But...nahhh."

"Well, not right now at any rate!" Chip replied, and unceremoniously flopped his tiny little body back down onto the big wad of fluff which was the Order cat.

He wondered, briefly, what it would take to have more cats on 'his' side, but something in the back of his mind told him that he didn't want to think about that too hard...so he let it go. "But I guess you're right, building big, amazing things isn't always the answer...just," he yawned, and stretched, "usually."

Soon...he was a sleeping kitten.
