In other words, no belling the Catseye?

An attempt at such has met with failure, yes. And it should also be noted that a flying 140-something pound girl hits a lot harder than a 12-pound cat.

do I WANT to know?

Well, that'd be the physics talking, that would.

. . . Wait, you put the bug in her collar? The one that turns into clothes when she changes to human? So she tackled you when she was human and naked?

Well, I bet that helped the situation loads. Damn, I wish I had pictures.

I think I'm going to go blow up a tree now or something.

Oh, very funny, Forge. But would that reference imply that you're attracted to and interested in Catseye?

What? Huh? No!

Is ShinyBitsBoy saying Catseye is not pretty?

Why do I suddenly have the feeling I have been elaborately set up here? I believe it is safe to say that you are the prettiest cat in the school, Catseye.

ShinyBitsBoy knows that wasn't what the question was about.

So Catseye is ugly as a human. Catseye knew it.

Whoa, no - not at all. Trust me, I know ugly. You're not ugly.

Kyle? Jay? Help here?

ShinyBitsBoy sidestepped the issue! Catseye knows what that means!!!

Catseye, if I thought you were ugly as a girl, I wouldn't try to get you to change into one so often, okay?

...

Catseye will have to think that one over. But maybe this gets ShinyBitsBoy out of the dog house.

(That is the right way to say it, yes?)

Also, Catseye is maybe sorry about the sock, then. Maybe. A little bit.

No way, man. You're on this on your own. You can't pay me enough to get involved in a squabble like this.

Gah! Of course YOU'RE not going to be of any help here!

If I say Catseye is pretty, which she is, that's not going to help you much.

...BirdBoy does not think Catseye is pretty either?

Of course I do. That doesn't mean I'm going to get Forge out of this. It's funny to watch.

Sorry man, she already knows I think she's hot. Cat nose and all that.

Theoretically, she could have tackled him while she was human and wearing something else.

But knowing Catseye, that would be a very bad theory.

The records would show more if they actually made sense to people besides you.

In an attempt to provide myself a sort of proximity warning system from Catseye's habit of pouncing on my head like it's a mouse on a spring, I put a small radio transmitter in the outfit I made for her that she can wear when she shifts.

Again, it only works if she's WEARING it.

You couldn't say that in the first place?

When you talk about playing your guitar, do you say "thwackin' the little stringy things and makin' the noise"? Allow me some degree of professional precision here, man.

you buggered her pants?!

I knew you bugged your pants.

I have buggered nothing!

And it wasn't in the pants. It was in the collar.

...I do not trust you with my clothing now.

so I think I'll give your pants back. and the t-shirt.

THAT'S where they went! I told you I do my own laundry, woman! How am I supposed to keep track of everything with you filching it all the time?

but I didn't have any clothing for that tai-chi class I'm taking with Ms. Blaire.

and your pants made good capris. I didn't cut them or anything.

I just got Catseye trained to not run off with my socks, and you go stealing my pants! My entire philosophy of mutant community and interdependence does not extend to MY PANTS! My pants are a sociopolitical island!

So no man is an island, but that man's pants can be? Or are we only not islands when we're not wearing any pants?

it's not like you need both socks.

please? for taichi?

unless you like 140lbs women flying at you?

Oh, fine.

And of course I need both socks. There's a reason I only have to buy half as many as everyone else, and they last twice as long.

thank you! as soon as I get pants of my own, I'll give yours back! washed!

Dude, if you even THINK about doing that to me, you are a dead man.

He won't unless you like to creep up on Forge and pounce on him.

. . .

That might actually explain some of the strange noises I hear from your room.

Ha. Ha. Fucking. Ha. Most of that is because I kinda snore. You'd kinda snore too if you had -fangs-.

That's you snoring?! Shit, I thought someone was clubbing a walrus to death. And aren't our walls supposed to be soundproof or something?

I think the clubbing someone to death is Forge's music, actually.

Only the music room and that's not quite proofed...she says, not at all speaking from personal experience and broken windows.
