Terris grumbled as he sat at a large table outside his half-repaired tavern, surrounded by several baskets. Faint mewling sounds could be heard under the light cloths that covered them, and occasionally a brightly coloured paw or tail could be seen poking out.
The knight, head in hands, summoned morse, his purple spirit animal. The doberman puppy bounded toward him, his tiny stub of a tail wiggling as his whole body wagged.
"Can you please round up anyone who might want a kitten or two? I can't leave them or they'll destroy the place." He sighed, turned his head to look at the tavern behind him, and sighed, thinking at this rate it would be winter before he was open for business.
A tiny pink paw reached out and swatted at his fingers, and two bright sparkling brown eyes stared back at him from the darkness of the basket. He laughed quietly and shook his head.
"You, my lad, are going to be trouble for whoever takes you home" he said, and waited for people to arrive.
(ooc: I will be giving out kittens RANDOMLY, there are 12 right now, you will be given two, if we need more, I will make them as we go along. Also, for the sake of getting here, you are free to play Morse telling you about the adoption and such.)

Cain was prowling through the alleys. Gambit had disappeared and Cain figured he was up to no good. Coming out of the alley way, Cain tripped over the form of Morse and scattered when he hit the ground. "Argh!" Seriously. He already hated the spirit animals and this just added fuel to the fire. Least he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth as the doberman helped to put Cain back together. While delivering his message of course.
As Cain screwed back on his skull, he stood up and dusted off. "Sure. I could use a cat since we haven't found any first. Provided they don't try to eat my echee." Giving Morse a wave bye, he made his way over to the tavern and stopped a few feet away to survey the damage. "What happened here? And do you need any help putting it back together?"

"That bloody weasel was using it as a chew toy while we were in the temple" Terris growled, moving his hand quickly as a tiny paw came out to swipe at him again.
A close inspection of the knight's hand would show tiny scratches where the playful kittens had attacked, but all wounds appeared to be superficial enough that they were of no concern to him.
"I'd have it finished by now if events, and homeless urchins like these stopped getting in my way" he said, holding up a fat pink kitten and thrusting it toward the skeleton a mere second after it tried to bite his nose.
"Here, take this" he said gruffly, relinquishing the kitten to Cain.
"And this one!" He grabbed a small, fluffy red beast and shoved it into Cain's other arm.

Arlene shrugged and sighed at Morse's message. Wouldn't take much to make some basic toys and she could use a good mouser. Okay maybe she was being a tad facetious seeing as cats hunted more than just mice... pretty much anything that moved that would fit between their paws. Too bad she couldn't invest in some string or socks to avoid kitty on toes scenarios though. She set down the bundled herbs in the clinic before following the spirit pup her own turquoise one trying a much smaller breed and obviously intimidated some by Morse's size. This form was probably just a phase that would soon pass.
She pushed into the tavern quietly not wanting to disturb if work actually was taking place.

Duzell was hard at work clearing out the remains of the Osidae nests from the inn's attic when Orryx came swimming up to him and began circling his head while chattering quickly. Guess what! I just met another spirit animal. His name was Morse and he had something important to tell everyone. Since he was in a hurry I said I would tell you for him. He was purple and also very nice.
Duzell had a feeling Orryx would have gone on about Morse for quite some time if he did not stop him. "What was the message Orryx?" Oh, right. Umm, I don't really remember all of it. But it had something to do with kittens at the tavern.
Duzell sighed and brushed some of the crystal dust off of him while wondering what Terris got himself into this time. The inn could use a cat or two to keep away the mice, provided Leyora didn't object. If not he could always keep them at home. Still lightly dusted with sparkly crystal pieces, Duzell made his way out of the attic and to the tavern, Orryx trailing quickly behind. He glanced around at the damage on the tavern. "Wow Terris, your tavern looks as bad as my attic. So, Orryx tells me you have kittens hiding in those baskets?"

Taki! Taki!
The Myrgwae looked up from where she was trying to set up a proper hutch for her rabbits at the sound of Tam'kar's approach. With the white kitsune was another spirit animal, a canine of some sort.
*What's wrong, Tam'kar?*
Terris has asked if everyone would come to the tavern. Something about kittens!
Kittens? echoed Beleth as she looked up from where she was sunning nearby. Isn't that what you said your kind resemble, Taki Mine? Taki giggled.
*Yeah, only a lot smaller. Lets go see what's going on, and you can see for yourself!* Thanking Morse Taki and Tam'kar made their way to the Tavern, while Beleth returned to her nap.

Terris grinned at Arlene and beckoned her over. Before he had a chance to hand her a kitten-filled basket, one red female hopped out on her own accord and sidled up to the woman, purring and rubbing against her affectionately.
"Well, someone certainly likes you, I guess you'll be taking her home." Terris laughed and then scooped up a second kitten, purple this time, and handed that one to her as well.

He hardly had time to finish getting arlene settled when Duzell showed up.
"Well, you remember that weasel? He was plaing with the tavern while we were in the temple, the damage isn't bad, I just keep getting distracted. It'll probably only take me a few days if I can find homes for these..." He indicated the baskets, then, grabbing the one closest, held it out to the man. Two tiny kittens stared out at Duzell, their eyes wide and curious.
"They are a bit of a handfull right now, but they sure are cute" he laughed as a tiny yellow paw reached out and tried to grab at the other man.

Taki arrived not long after that, and excusing himself, to allow Duzell to get used to his new babies, he beckoned her over, handing over a basket with two tiny kittens inside.
"I think you might enjoy these a lot more than I do" he said, as a pair of tiny fangs belonging to a small purple kitten dug into his hand.

Leyora had just finished cleaning up the kitchen after the mess Chubs and friends had made recently. There was still flour left in a few hard to reach crevices, but Leyora wasn't sure she had the tools to clean that out properly. It didn't matter anyway, she still had the evening meal to prepare for. She was in the process of separating saydar meat from the bone, for this world's version of chicken and dumplings, when Morse came in. Her eyes lit up at the thought of kittens. She loved Rasmus and Tigress dearly, but they were getting so big now that the usual kitten-like antics were getting hard on both her and her house.
Seeing a familiar look in Morse's eyes, Leyora smiled an said, "I don't know if Terris will allow you to have bones or not, but I think I have a few meat scraps to spare... uh, if you eat." She blushed, embarrassed at not knowing. It seemed everyone's spirit bond was vastly different and each becoming solid at a different rate. Her own resident mischief maker, Kapelle, was about half and half. He wasn't eating yet, but she supposed it would not be long before he became solid enough to find out what exactly it was that he did hunger for.
Leyora laid out the scraps to offer the spirit dog and then carried the meal preparations back into the cellar, before cleaning up and fetching some spiced cider that had been cooling in the cellar. She also made a couple of sandwiches and brought them with her to the tavern.
She entered the tavern quietly with the sandwiches in a leather bag hanging from her shoulder and the pitcher of cider in hand. "Hello! Figured I'd bring you a snack. Doing repairs builds an appetite!" Glancing about Leyora grinned. "Looks like I'm not the only one curious about kittens."

Morse did not have to be asked twice, as soon as Leyora turned away, the saydar bones were gone, he was licking his lips as she made her way toward the tavern, he followed sedately behind her.
As Leyora approached, Terris smiled swapped her offered food for a basket with two tiny kittens inside, the pair were curled up together, fast asleep, and he brought a finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture as he gently pulled back the cloth reavealing the tiny bodies...

Making the swap easily enough, Leyora peeked under the blanket to see the most odd colored, but also most adorable fuzzballs to be seen. Whispering, Leyora looked up to meet Terris's eyes. "Awww. They are so sweet! I've always had a soft spot for kittens, though. so I might be biased." Biased indeed! She doubted she would have been as thrilled if it had been a chimp or a dancing bear from the festivals her old world occasionally had. Chuckling softly, she lowered the blanket on her newest pets, lest she wake them and tried to think of how to introduce the tiny kittens to her big cubs, Rasmus and Tigress. She still wasn't fully used to communicating with her bonds long distance. Had she been from a different era, she might feel it was much like having a mental telephone readily available at all times. It was moments like now, when Rasmus was showing vague hints of jealousy and Tigress expressed eagerness to meet the little ones, through their bonds that reminded her that her thoughts were almost never truly alone. She had to actively work to close her mind to keep certain thoughts private, though generally that was not necessary.
Leyora caught herself staring and the blanket that hid her treasures, again and smiled. Looking up, she sought out Duzell. "I see you have a pair, too. Any ideas for names, yet?" She listened for his reply and then continued with, "I'm thinking Isis for my girl, because she reminds me of the Moon Goddess that my mom told me stories about as a kid. Not sure about the boy yet, but it will have to be something just as special." She lifted the blanket to show off her kittens even as she was looking over the others. She was curious about how many different variations there were. "Do you think we should keep them at the inn? It would be nice to have a mouser or four around, but I'd hate for them to get Chubs..."

Cain just blinked as kittens were thrust into his arms. "Umm...Terris I don't..." He stopped though as soon as he noticed him doing it to everyone. Chuckling lightly, the skeleton just shook his head as he placed Sunset and Volcano onto the ground. Sadly, he named them before checking their genders and well...He just did not care enough to change it. The pink male was Sunset and the red female was Volcano and that was that. Not that the two kittens seem to mind as they pawed playfully with each other and his shin bones. "Least the damage wasn't too bad. Even with the distractions."
Laughing again, he took off his arm and used it as a kitten play toy to help keep his two entertained and off of Terris. "I'm still available to help though. I'm not doing too much at the moment and could use something to do."

Amerlan looked at the remains of the feathers scattered around. By the looks of it a Saydar chick or two had gambled disturbing with Keeva and lost. Had she not been raising them as food anyways she may have scolded the big cat. She had previously informed her carnivorous bonds that the Saydar in the red marked pen were available for eating, so long as they didn't gorge themselves.
She was just about to set to work on cleaning up the small mess, most of it lying in the cats belly and thus already taken care of, when a Spirit Animal bounded towards her. It seemed as though she was one of the very last on a list of people to be invited to the Tavern to pick up some kittens. Running after the pup who guided her to where Terris was she hoped she wasn't too late.
Secretly she adored small felines. She had always wanted a few of her own, but a life on the move was not conducive to such an animal. Panting as she arrived before Terris she took a moment to catch her breath.
"So I heard you have some kittens." Peering over his shoulder she saw that most of them had already found homes with the others. "I don't suppose you have anymore do you? If you do I would love to take some home." She peered around him again at the blankets. Her heart sunk as it didn't look like any of them were left. Perhaps next time there would be one or two from her. Sighing she was just about to tell Terris never mind when one of the blankets moved ever so slightly.
Letting out a very girl squeal, that she would never admit to making, she reached over to the blankets. "Please Terris can I have them?" She gave him her best puppy eyes and pleaded. She had yet to remove the blanket just in case he said no.

Terris grinned at Amerlan and handed the basket over, doing his best not to laugh at the woman. Her excitement was infectious and he couldn't help but be happy she'd come in time to grab a pair.
"Bit eager aren't you?" he laughed, pulling his hand back as tiny claws tried to puncture him.
"While I like cats, I can't say I'll miss the tiny puncture wounds, they are cute though" he giggled.

Taki's eyes widened in delight at the adorable little kittens.
*Awww, Terris, they're just precious! Thank you! They'll have the best home!* She took them over to a quiet little corner, uncovering the basket to they all could see each other. *Aren't you just the most fluffy little things! Now lets see.... Dusk -* She stroked the purple cloud leopard's head. *- and Mysteri, I think.* The black gemmed one briefly looked over at her, then turned her attention back towards Tam'kar who was looking into the basket as well. Then, with a playful mrrroow! it jumped right out of the basket and landed on the startled kitsune's head! Taki just giggled, as Tam'kar began roughhousing gently with the feisty kitty.
