[sparkplugs]

[A pair of large, tawny eyes fill the picture to start with. After a moment Cy shuffles back, revealing the scruffy face of a tabby. Her fur looks dirty and unkempt, and there's glimpse of something shiny beneath the fur on her forehead. Something metal.

She rolls over, kitten like in her appearance as well as her mannerisms. When she speaks she's cheerful, not seeming overly concerned about the unfamiliarity of her surroundings.]

Wow, Alice! You've taken a wrong turn this time. Down the rabbit hole you go.

My name's Cy. Cy for Sightseer. Cats don't belong down rabbit holes, you know. It's bad for business. Rabbits don't like us, see.

[She rolls back on her front, looking as though she's pondering this for a long moment before she speaks again, tongue swiping over her lips before she breaks her silence.]

I'm hungry.

[ooc: It would be super helpful if you could please fill out Cy's permissions if you tag her so I know whether I can use her powers or not.]

I hear cat minds too. I hear everyone.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Not me, little one.

[He pulls his illusions back up. It's more comfortable without the human face, but he's paranoid]

I don't want anyone knowing that I'm not human, though.

action

[sparkplugs]

Not you.

[The agreement's a little forlorn, especially when his face changes back to human.]

I can keep secrets. I won't tell how much nicer you look like that either.

[Oh she is precious. Tybalt smiles again, offering a hand if she wants to be pet]

My girlfriend thinks the same thing. She'll love to hear that you agree.

[sparkplugs]

[Cy lets out a loud, clattering purr and bumps her head roughly against the offered hand. She's more than happy to be petted. Hopefully he wont' mind the less than clean state of her fur.]

Is she like you?

[He's used to it, and he politely avoids the sparkplug as he pets]

No, Toby isn't a Cait Sidhe. I'm the only one in Wonderland right now.

action

[sparkplugs]

That's okay. We're half the same. Our stripes match, see?

[She continues to rub against his hand as she speaks, clearly enjoying the attention he's giving her.]

action

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Indeed.

[So. Cute.]

I'm impressed that you could read, or not read, my mind over the recording. That's pretty powerful.

action

[sparkplugs]

Is it?

[She twists her head so she can look up at him.] I thought anyone could do that.

action

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Oh, no. I don't know anyone who can read minds, let alone so easily.

[It's...a little freaky, really]

Most people, if they can do anything similar, need to at least see the person they're talking to.

action

[sparkplugs]

You're the second one today who can't.

[Kind of. Just. Skipping over the part where most can't do that. It's a lot to comprehend.]

action

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Just the second one you've met.

[Ear scritches]

Trust me, you're in the minority here.

action

[sparkplugs]

[She grumbles unhappily at this revelation, but... ear scritches. They are a weakness of hers. She can't help purring anyway.]

action

[notrequiredtomakesense]

[He knows how to keep a kitten happy.]

I think most people will like you, though.

action

[sparkplugs]

You like me.

[She thinks. It's hard to be certain when she can only read him from the outside, but she's pretty sure of it.]

action

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Of course I do. I like most cats.
