HAPPY ANNIV, DATE EVERYTHING!!!!

Cody? It’s Mateo! I know it’s been a while, and I hope this isn’t a bad time…

- @ask-mateo-manta //getting back into the flow of things, hopefully this is okay for a starter!

[Cody sits on the attic floor surrounded by five unfinished craft projects, all of which he's ignoring in favour of doodling on scrap paper. Putting the finishing touches on his drawing, he holds it up to Stringue like she'll give him valuable feedback.]

"Whaddya think? You think she'll like it?"

[Stringue's not interested in the drawing at all, her eye darts over and she hisses when she spots Mateo.]

"Okay well there's no way the drawing is that bad-"

[Cody whips his head around when he realizes what Stringue's hissing at.]

"Oh! Mateo! Hii!! It's most certainly not a bad time at all!"

You seem to be working on a lot! That’s great! Did you need help with any of them?

Is this what you’re looking for, sweetheart? You want some treats?

*He turns to Cody, nodding in thought. He’s ready to focus on the task at hand- helping Cody with Stringue.*

Maybe later, then! …Did you still need help with Stringue? I brought a new bag of the treats she likes!

"I really do... I'd be real greatful for any advice at all. I always feel like I'm doing somethin' wrong, especially since she wasn't always this agressive. I mean, she's always been a bit of a troublemaker, but she just seems ta hate everyone lately..."

…Did something happen to cause her to act more aggressively? An accident, a run-in with another inanimal or object maybe?

"...Yeah. A pretty big accident. Ah- It's something I don't usually talk about, but I know you just wanna know to help Stringue so... I'll try ta keep it short."

[Cody seems a bit hesitant, but he shakes it off, puts on a smile and tries to at least tell his story in a lighthearted way.]

"Ya see, this real funny thing happens where if the latches on my bin are down, the spirit of me can't exactly...get out? It used to not be much of a problem back when my bin still got opened sometimes when the homeowner worked on projects..."

[Cody suddenly finds it difficult to make eye contact, so he looks down at Stringue instead, absentmindedly petting her while she eats.]

*Mateo looks upset on behalf of Stringue, shaking out more treats for the kitty.*

We can help her though, but it’ll take a lot of time and patience. …Does she have a specific place in the house where she feels the safest? I figured it’s up here in the attic, but I just thought I’d ask to make sure.

"Wherever I am, usually. Or- wherever 'home' is. I've been moved around before."

Redesigned my date everything oc from a year ago because its oc week! Oh MP i should draw you more. (It/its, the last pic is the old design)

“Though she may have gotten a bad rep from the other, spookier folks of her kind, Zoey is truly a gentle and goofy little soul. She may be the entity who's lived in the house the longest...”

Hi!! I’m Zoey! Some of my friends in the attic said I should get on this app called “Tumblr”, I was curious at first but decided I should anyway! So, ask me something about the attic crew, my life, or, in this case my life before I, you know.. Or anything else!

About the Admin!

[The basket contains flowers, crafted out of something that's folded like paper but has a plasticy texture and sheen to it...something more waterproof than paper. A note is attached to the ribbon keeping the stems together, written in horrendous handwriting it says:

" Saw you at the breaker box a while ago, you're really inspiring :) Thought I'd give you my business card. Contact for costumes, set design or anything else!

- Cody Kraft ☆ " ]

[The "business card" in question is... Just a crude drawing of a bin in the office-]

Well now!

[Johnny hums looking over the plasticy shiny bunch and the card they come with.... Then smiles warmly as he held them to his chest...]

. . . Someone liked my performance enough to get me a gift... wow...

A teenage girl approaches Cody slowly, rather nervously. She has one of those strings that the random cat passed to him a while ago.

//if i fucked up codys pronouns you can kill n me with fire @luckiestchaos

"Hi!! Welcome, welcome! You're not intruding at all!"

[Cody waves over the young girl with a friendly smile. He also has some of the strings around his wrist, he's been making bracelets out of them since he got them.]

"I mean, I've dealt with cats my whole life. I'll try to be as careful as possible."

She leans down to the floor and makes gentle clicks for the kitty.

"I wouldn't take that personally. Stringue doesn't like anyone, I'm not even sure she likes me."

[But Stringue does take an interest in the braided string bracelet. She tracks it as it moves.]

[Stringue is immediately crouching down as she watches the string move across the floor. Then she pounces! She grabs hold of the string and bites down.]

[Once Stringue has it in her mouth, she won't let it go, instead she tugs on it hoping to pull it out of Lucky's hands. Tug of war!]

"You'd make one for me? Awe that's so sweet! It's hard to pick, I just like colourful things in general... I would say rainbows but that might not be doable..."

[Cody tries to narrow down the list to three favourites, he treats this like it's the hardest decision in the world-]

"I like pink! And a light blue, like a turquoise- And yellow! Yes! I think those are my favourites if I had to pick."

[Stringue pauses. Playing with her caused her to get close without realizing it, and now she's not sure how she feels about it. She seems curious about this new stranger... For a second she looks like she might sniff Lucky's hand...but she stubbornly walks away.]

A cat flickers into life from Lucky's side, but the pupils are replaced by stars. Xs appear in the center of Lucky's pupils accommodating the sudden appearance. The cat shrinks doen a bit from being human sized and slowly approaches Stringue.

"...???? I suppose that can happen I guess. Pr0x what the hell are you thinking..."

[Cody enthusiastically points to the colourful cat.]

[Stringue is more than alarmed by the sudden appearance of that cat again. At first she looks scared, taking a couple steps back before she decides to prepare for a fight.]

[She stands her ground, crouching slightly where she is, bearing her teeth and growling at the multicoloured cat. A warning.]

"Woah, careful there."

[Cody puts his arm between the two cats, hovering it in front of Stringue, prepared to hold her back if she did decide to attack. He doesn't seem too concerned about getting caught in the crossfire.]

[Cody talks over the hissing-]

[Cody's gonna pretend he fully comprehends that-]

"Was it fully you the first time I saw it?"

Lucky makes the click sound again and Pr0x looks towards her.

"See the eyes and how it's a star? That's the signal if the algorithms. Xs signify myself."

Cody? It’s Mateo! I know it’s been a while, and I hope this isn’t a bad time…

"Whaddya think? You think she'll like it?"

[Stringue's not interested in the drawing at all, her eye darts over and she hisses when she spots Mateo.]

"Okay well there's no way the drawing is that bad-"

[Cody whips his head around when he realizes what Stringue's hissing at.]

"Oh! Mateo! Hii!! It's most certainly not a bad time at all!"
