Wh... w-what happened..? Where am I?
Oh... they.. ..... yeah.. they're gone..
....
Ugh... my head hurts..
wh..?!
... ... ... WHAT THE FU-
[Anyone in the vicinity of this can hear panicked yowling as a rust-colored octokitten flails about in the brush. It seems.. confused.]

* Another octokitten walks up to the group. It seems... confused. This newcomer has a matted, rusty-hued pelt and hazel-blue eyes, and wears a small bell collar- too faded to make out a color- with a tag that says it's name is "Merlin". *
Meow. Mreow wow?
[hello friend, who may you be?]
* It looks at you, blinking a few times. *
" mr... mrrop.. mao? "
[ i... just call me merlin.. who are you? ]
Mreow

* Merlin looks around, his tentacles curling around his upper body and front paws. *

[[ Another octokitten is in the vents of the Aurora.. this one is the color of rusted iron, and has bright cerulean eyes. It wears a small collar, the tag on which says it's name is... ]]
[[ ... That's the thing though- even the other Mechanisms can't tell what it's name is. It looks a lot like "Merlin" however.. ]]
- @drumcat-brian
He curiously sniffs the other cat and circles it for a moment, after determining it isn't food, he boredly mewls
[[ Merlin hesitates, sniffing the kit back after a few seconds. ]]
' ... mrp? '
[[ It seems rather confused. ]]
He falls out of the vent and lands on a couch. Having a lack of object permanence and change of setting, he looks around, confused
Meow? Meow??
[[ Merlin looks down at Stringbean and drops down a moment later, grabbing the wall with the pads on its tentacles midway down to change direction so to not hit the younger kitten. Once safely on the couch, Merlin immediately goes over to comfort Stringbean, softly purring as it wraps a few tentacles around him. ]]
Meow?
He nibbles on the other's face slightly
[[ Merlin doesn't seem to mind, still purring. It simply looks at Stringbean with an almost-human expression of reassurance. ]]
Mroew
He lays down
[[ Merlin gently rests its head on top of him. It seems to be a bit tired.. ]]

[ Something can be heard in the vents.. and after a few moments, a small, rust-colored octokitten pokes it's head out of the vent in a hall. It seems rather confused as it comes out, the tag on it's faded blue collar jingling. ]

*Arthur, who previously had its gun train on the vent opening, almost melted entirely at the sight of this… creature, thing.*
“Hey, little… whatever the hell you are. Hey, c’mere!” *he holstered the gun and crouched down, clicking its toungue and holding out a hand.* “you look just like Merlin, don’t ya?”
[ Merlin tries pulling said glasses over to the sink with their tentacles, but they're just too heavy for it. It meows, gently tapping one, then pads over to the sink while looking at Lyf. ]
'... mrp?'
*Luf looks to the other two, who are evidently not paying any attention, then back at Merlin-Brian.*
*they take the two glasses, put one on the sink, the other they fill with water, to see if that’s what it wants.*
[ Merlin pads over to the sink, nodding as it meows approvingly. ... wait. It nodded. ]
'mrrr...'
[ It goes back over to the opened cabinet, pawing the door as if it needs more glasses. ]
*Lyf grabs a few more glasses, maybe too many but. Better safe than... mildly disappointed at not enough glasses?*
"Alright... is that all?"
'mraow!'
[ It nods again, padding over to the now-filled glasses, and grabs the spoon that Nastya had left next to the bowl. ]
'mrrawah..'
[ Merlin looks over at Nastya, taking a few breaths to prepare, and starts playing "Hanged Man Rusts". ]
*Nastya and Arthur, at long last, stop their bickering at the sound of the melody.*
*Nastya gives it a look, and gestures to Merlin-Brian, like that should explain everything.*
*it explains nothing.*
*she walks over, picking up another spoon, waiting for the song to end and tapping out*

“You… can stay here, if you want. We can figure out a way to change you back, or some better way to communicate than… this,” *She makes a vague gesture.* “we have a bad habit if picking up stowaways, so we have the room.” *Nastya gives a half-hearted smile.*

[[ A small rust-colored octokitten has somehow gotten stuck between your bed and the wall. The faded blue collar it wears says it's name is.... ]]
[[ It's hard to tell, actually. "Merlin"..? Whatever it's name was, it looks up at you; reaching a tentacle up to try and climb out, but failing. ]]
'Mraoowwaw...?!'
[[ @drumcat-brian ]]
Ooc) sorry posted weird
What's this? "Merlin?"
*She moves it safely to the bed, stuffing a blanket in between the bed and the wall so it doesn't get stuck again*
You can stay here, but don't get caught in any machinery. The things in here can hurt you
[[ Merlin blinks, looking around for a few moments. Something about this particular octokitten seems a bit different than the others, not just because it glowed a faint pale green as you pulled it out. ]]
'... mrrop mao..'
[[ Merlin looks back up at you as it curls up on the bed. ]]
Huh, you sort of sound like Brian. On the rare occasion that he meows, for god knows what reason.
*She scratches behind its ears*
You need food? I have... well I have some experimental food but it looks like someone's gotten attached enough to name you so I'm sure they'd be mad if it accidentally killed you. I'll talk to Ivy later, I guess
[[ Merlin tilts its head slightly, purring. There's something on the back of the collar's tag.. ]]
'... prr..'
*Nastya checks the tag. Does it read... maybe "Brian?" Huh. Checks out*
Ah. Well, if he comes looking, I'll say something, but for now... I'm not sure what to do.
*She darts her fingers back and forth on the bed in front of the small creature, trying to see if it's playful.*
[[ The name was on the front of the tag, but on the back was a symbol... ]]
Aurora in pieces? I don't... hm. I don't like that. She says she's doing alright but... what does this mean?
[[ Merlin blinks, seeming a bit confused as it looks up at you. It looks over at the door for a few moments, then back at you. ]]
'... mrrrrow?'
Is there something behind the door or...? It's weird, you really do sound like Brian somehow. Suppose you've met him though? He likes the octokittens I think.
*Nastya opens the door and takes a look outside before looking back to Merlin, still holding the door open. Something doesn't sit right with her about all this, between the symbol on its collar and its uncanny similarities to the pilot, and she's determined to figure it out.*
I really don't know what you want. Where did you come from?
[[ Merlin hesitates before slowly moving out into the hallway, tapping the floor with a tentacle. ... Hm.. that sounded like morse code.. ]]
..-. ..- - ..- .-. .
F... u... t... u... r... e...
What are you here to warn me or? Is that where you're saying you're from?? Time is a bit odd for us, I suppose. So...... does that mean the broken Aurora is true? Is there something I can do to save her??

Oh... well. Reassuring to know we can die, I guess. As long as it's by Aurora's side, and the others, I suppose it was a long time coming.
I won't push you further then. I suppose I should go back to Cyberia to tie any loose ends before it happens?
*Nastya fidgets nervously. She's not sure what to think about all this, but she steels herself, sighing heavily.*
Not yet though. I'll just... I'll go about life as normal, unless there's something you want me to do. I've suspected Aurora might- well, you can only replace so many parts.
[[ Merlin does the feline equivalent of a shrug, starting to walk down the hall. ]]

[[ A small rust-colored octokitten has somehow gotten stuck between your bed and the wall. The faded blue collar it wears says it's name is.... ]]
[[ It's hard to tell, actually. "Merlin"..? Whatever it's name was, it looks up at you; reaching a tentacle up to try and climb out, but failing. ]]
'Mraoowwaw...?!'
[[ @drumcat-brian ]]
Ooc) sorry posted weird
What's this? "Merlin?"
*She moves it safely to the bed, stuffing a blanket in between the bed and the wall so it doesn't get stuck again*
You can stay here, but don't get caught in any machinery. The things in here can hurt you
[[ Merlin blinks, looking around for a few moments. Something about this particular octokitten seems a bit different than the others, not just because it glowed a faint pale green as you pulled it out. ]]
'... mrrop mao..'
[[ Merlin looks back up at you as it curls up on the bed. ]]
[[ A small rust-colored octokitten has appeared in your room, having somehow managed to crawl through a vent to get in. It's wearing a blue bell collar. The name on the tag is worn away by time, but it appears to say.. "Merlin"? ]]
[[ @drumcat-brian ]]
"Hi kittu"
*He looks down, before picking the cat up. In his sleep deprived state it's as if he's forgotten he's a.) trapped underground and b.) cats don't normally have 8 legs*
"Do you want snuggles? You're getting snuggles."
*He moves the octokitten to his lap, too tired to notice that it is very much not a cat*
// @drumcat-brian //
[[ Merlin's slightly-furry tentacles wave happily as it's picked up, and it looks around. It seems a bit confused... ]]
'... mrp?'
"Good kitty."
*He gently brings up a hand, stroking it behind it's ears, closing down his laptop bleary eyed*
[[ Merlin hesitates before pawing Lancaster's hand. ]]
'... mraow..'
"Good ki-"
*He looks down before realising*
"Tentacles? I-I don't get paid enough for this. Either I'm hallucinating or you're a very friendly dash one."
[[ Merlin looks up at him, seemingly confused. ]]
'.... mrp.. mao..?'
"I-You're a cat. I don't think you'll understand. Unless you have an in-depth knowledge of the absolute shit show my life has been recently! I get trapped underground, I get the plague, I lose almost all my friends, my intern commits arson, my intern and friends get put in containment and now my boyfriend could die at anytime!"
*He is...very definitely going to have a breakdown. To an octokitten.*
[[ Merlin pauses, it's gaze softening. ]]
'.... mrrowiw..'
[[ .... that sounded a lot like "sorry". ]]
"You have silly meows. I guess that's to be expected if I'm having a stress induced hallucination."
*He just sighs, gently scratching Merlins chin*
"who's a good...catopus? You are!" Please don't die, this is the best thing that's happened to me in a while."
*If the stubble, eyebags and slight hint of sweat are anything to go by that's probably an understatement*
'Mrp!'
[[ Merlin seems to smile, kneading it's front paws on Lancaster's leg. It just seems to be a good emotional support octokitten. ]]
*He immediately bursts into tears, wrapping his arms around Merlin*
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry-"
[[ Merlin's eyes widen, but he stays still, purring. If the octokitten were human, it would be trying to calm Lancaster down.. it definitely seems to have that level of intelligence. ]]
*He picks up Merlin, placing him on his desk, so he can better give chin scratches through tears*
"Why haven't you left yet?"
'.... mrow..'
[[ Merlin gently places his paw on Lancaster's other hand. ]]
*He just starts crying even harder*
"I want to go home! It's not- I miss my old life! Sure, there wasn't much, but my book club! I used to help out at the library! I've missed the book club, I've missed helping out at this years youth LGBTQ event! I miss-"
*He falls apart in more sobs, turning hysterical*
[[ Merlin nudges Lancaster with its head, a few tentacles wrapping around his arm as if to say "it's alright".. ]]
'... mrrow..'
*He just starts crying even harder, wrapping both his arms around Merlin and squeezing somewhat tightly, but not tightly enough to hurt. He may be having a mental breakdown, but he will never hurt a cat. Of any kind.*
[[ Merlin blinks, looking at Lancaster with what seems to be worry. There seems to be something on the other side of Merlin's nametag.. ]]
*He notices, wiping his tears*
"I-Is that your address? Are you a Dash one? I'm going to assume you're someone pet now."
*He flips the nametag around*
[[ This symbol is on the back.. ]]
"I don't recognise that signature as anyone's. D-do you- Are you sure you're not a dash one?"
*He tries to wipe his tears with a sleeve, trying to stop crying through his trembling*
'... mrrop?'
[[ Seems like Merlin doesn't know what it means. ]]
"Anomaly. You're...too nice for containment. Actually..."
*he picks Merlin up to be at eye level*
"Can you go to containment? I think my intern needs you."
[[ It blinks, nodding at Lancaster.... waaaaiit a minute.. ]]
'merp!' (^.^)
*he reaches out a hand, quietly giggling through his tears*
"It's just down the hall. @best-psych-intern. I think it's there on the White board outside the containment door."
'.... mrow..?'
[[ Merlin gives Lancaster a look, then looks at the door. It paws his hand, pointing at the door with a tentacle. ]]
"You want me to let you out?"
*He walks across his office, giving Merlin one last right squeeze before opening the door*
[[ Merlin shakes it's head, repeatedly pressing one paw on his foot. ]]
'mrow. Mraow. Mrrop.. .... mrp.'
*he looks confused*
"what do you want buddy?"
[[ Merlin presses it's paw on him again, then paws the threshold. Maybe.. it wants him to go with it? ]]
'Mroww?'
"You want me to walk with you?"
*he offers*
[[ Merlin nods, hopping a few times. ]]
'Merrp!'
"ohmygodyourethebestthingever. Alright buddy."
*He starts slowly walking down the hallway, letting Merlin keep up with him*
[[ Merlin seems to be smiling as it follows him down the hall. ]]
