Entry 500; Day 898

[Video Post]
[The image snaps out of oblivion and darkness, but there's not much to see: just light and shadow, alternating, a little darkness, a little light, things too near to the lens to really make sense, possibly a passing shirt collar, an ear going by, the same glimpses repeating a few times. And while there isn't much to see, but there's a lot to hear: more shuffling, ruffling, sliding, moving sounds than one might know what to do with. It's as though someone has the camera very near to his face, but is moving all the while, and doing...something.

Perhaps this video is entirely accidental. Yes, yes it must be. After all, when that left ear goes past again (after the whole of the left side of the face), one can see that it is wearing a small jet earring. For those who know it, it may be quite recognizable. After all, Cain wears such an earring. And, given these brief glimpses, it seems the person (one must assume it to be a person) in such close quarters with the Network device has the same dark hair and pale skin that Cain does. And he isn't inclined to make accidental video posts (or video posts at all). Certainly not doing anything quite like this...

Yes, it's most certainly Cain, as can be seen when he pulls back from the Network device fully to regard it a moment, blinking green-gold-green cat-like eyes at it. He considers the device carefully for a little while...only to lean back in to it again and--what is he doing? From what one can see from the camera's view, it seems that he's rubbing the sides of his face, his jaw, and his temples all along the corners and edges of the Network device. Over and over and over again. And looking (as best one can see) quite content as he does this.

And this continues for no little while until, as accidentally as the recording was begun in the first place, it is ended: he, very fortunately, managed to hit the "end" button in all of this. And, with that, the video drops away into darkness again with a snap--]

[ooc: Cat-like typing detec--wait a minute D: Suddenly! An inversion! The Network device is Cain's and no one else's and he's going to make sure of that. By rubbing his face all over it. Obviously. (Ever had a cat do this to your computer?) I feel quite certain he will have done this to Riff and Merry and everything that he regards as "his" all day... I really hope he hasn't been licking Kassandra and Noir. I really, truly do...]

By marking it as mine, obviously.

I didn't mean for everyone to see me doing so, but it should be quite clear that this device is mine all the same.

[ooc: Let's make some magic happen!]

Marking it as yours. Er, yes, of course. Well, I think it's quite well and truly marked, so there shouldn't be any more need for, um, all that.

[OOC: Somehow I will get her to the Opera House. Somehow.]

No, not anymore. I'm quite satisfied with it now.

[ooc: Do iiiiiit~]

Well, er. Good, I'm glad to hear it. And what will you do now, since you've completed that task in particular so well?

I'm not entirely certain. Kassandra and Noir seem to have found quite a place for themselves on my bed and are having a nap--which seems to me to be quite a good idea, somehow.

A nap in the middle of the day? Are you sure you're feeling all right?

Yes, of course I am. It just seems like a pleasant sort of thing today, to take a nap in the sunlight. There's not a thing wrong with that that I can think of.

[...Wait a minute. Wait just one minute.]

What about playing with a ball of yarn? Does that sound rather pleasant, as well?

Well, if it seemed interesting, perhaps. Yarn isn't always that intriguing you know.

What are you getting at, Rosella?

Oh, er, nothing. Nothing at all, I was only teasing.

Are you quite sure?

Well, you did say that acting like your cats seemed like a fine idea somehow.

And you've never found yourself inspired by a fellow creature?

Not to take a nap, I don't think.

That seems rather a shame, I think.

Perhaps it's simply that I haven't had Kassandra and Noir to inspire me before.

You do have Snowdrop, though, don't you? Hasn't she inspired you?

I do, but she's still quite cautious around me, even after all this time. Darting and hiding isn't quite as inspirational, I'm afraid.

Perhaps it isn't, unless one needs to dart and hide. Sleeping in the sunlight does seem more immediately appealing, if one can spare the time.

I suppose there isn't much reason to dart and hide at all today, no. I suppose I ought to be thankful for that.

It's a shame the sun won't wait; I'd thought I might stop by and say hello, but it sounds as though you'll be otherwise occupied this afternoon.

I suppose we all ought to be.

Yes, but I won't be going anywhere, even if I am a bit occupied. You might still pay a call. I'd be glad to see you.

Oh, but I'd hate to disrupt your afternoon of inspired napping. You're certain it won't be troublesome?

There will be other naps to be had, I feel certain. It won't be troublesome in the least. As I said, I'd be very glad to see you.

Well, if you're certain, then I'll be by soon.

[Granted, her thought that she ought to stop by began roughly when she first started to suspect that he might be cursed, but she's not mentioning that.]

It won't take long, now that I've my Rollerblades out again.

I'm very certain.

You didn't have them out before?

[ooc: My ongoing cold is demanding that I sleep soon--are you okay with backdating some of this?]
