5 • Wild Tiger • [Action]

[He wakes up groggily from the sedatives and decides it's entirely fine to try to walk with what's left of it in his system.

The first thing he doesn't notice is that instead of walking on two feet, he's staggering around on four; the reason being, he's just a silly old tiger, one with poor memory and very poor human skills, possibly because he has none whatsoever; the train of thought a human would have is lost on him—there are trees and he knows they are good for scratching claws on. There's snow on the ground from a night's snow a few days prior, and he's aware it's wet and cold.

He's also aware of something squeezing his wrist uncomfortably. He gnaws the shit out of his watch before he gives up and let's it stay on his kitty wrist, accompanying a extremely-stretched bracelet of beads.

And he's hungry. And still tired. Mmm... Sleep is good.

sleeping tiger, unhidden tiger

There might be a tiger finding a place to sleep around you; be it in your room—a window or an opened door, perhaps—in your bed, on your couch. There might be a wild jungle cat just sleeping it up. There might be one out on the path curled up snoozing. Or... for some people, he might recognize your house or apartment and sneak in to sleep in your abode or on your step.

Either way, there's a tiger with green wings hanging around.

Or.



You may wake up to find a strange sound in the morning... The sound of shuffling, of glasses breaking, of cupboards and fridges being broken. That is because this confused tiger, caught between its natural and unnatural side, can't for the life of him figure out how he works this thing or how he recognizes the shapes of certain objects. Like handles. Which he breaks pretty easily. He's a big-ass creature, you know.

Walking in may reveal wraps and plates and misc. things on the floor; he's possibly enjoying a nice uncooked chicken breast or ripping your cereal box to shit. In fact, he might just bust into the restaurant, grocery store, or any other place with food so that he can devour it.

Don't worry, though. He's a pretty friendly tiger, for the most part; as in, he won't try to eat you. Because as animal as he is, he hasn't forgotten what he is: that thing being that he's a dumb but relatively heroic fella. His hazy mind vaguely recalls this strange desire... Can't go beating people up and ripping out their innards, y'know.]

[... Green wings.

Kotetsu has green wings, doesn't he? Sanji never, ever noticed, and never thought it would be important, but staring at them now...

Shit. He's so stupid. What other idiot could this be? And it wouldn't grate on Sanji's nerves so much if not for--

Tch.]
Why did it have to be you? [Reluctantly, he glances up, noting his house through the haze of an oncoming headache.]

[Why you gotta be a hater, Sanji. :C

He stops in front of the house, looking back at Sanji with a sort of quiet, scanning look. You're home. He's still gotta find his, but. This is a good stop for you, right?]

[It's as good a place as any to be let off by a human-turned-tiger. He mumbles something that might be a "thanks" underneath his breath, and slips off.]


... [Yet, instead of taking off like he wants, he stands with his arms folded, leveling a stare at Kotetsu. Now that he knows who this is, all the reactions and implications that come with that knowledge are running amok in his mind. Like, for instance, Sanji's doubt that you will catch any type of living prey being the idiot you are]

Wait here. [He's gonna disappear into the kitchen real quick]
literalwildtiger: (Suspicious;; .... :|a hm.)

[Speaking of living prey, your kitten is making their appearance; Pumpkin, was it? She managed to get herself outside to make Kotetsu's acquaintance, how about that. Kotetsu crouches down and watches her, cautious. Strange... this creature is familiar, but he's not sure why. And even more-so, something else about her is familiar. His predatory stance softens up into a casual one, as he considers this.

She's small, but she's shaped very similarly. And the color, too. It's almost like a little version on him, in a way, just less stripey. Maybe she just hasn't collected stripes yet. She's little!

...

A little version...?]

[He makes a friendly sound and lays down, pawing at the other cat. He's no harm to you, kitty, none at all! In fact, he wiggles on his haunches toward her and looks pathetic as a jungle feline can, until he's practically nose to nose with her. And then he nudges her over, rolls her carefully, sniffing in her scent. It's not familiar, but for some reason, she's...

;~; Something...]
literalwildtiger: (Cuddle;; love this fuckin bucket)

[Action] done

[personal profile] literalwildtiger 2012-01-22 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He nudges her again, playful and happy and waving his tail.

Kaede-chaaaan~

paw, paw

Kaede, Kaede~~

Kaede~


Of course from the Straw Hat window, Kotetsu's innocent lickings and pawings probably look hideously close to maulings from there, but whatever. NOT MY PROBLEM, I'm making friends out here.]

[For your information, tiger, she was getting a bit of fresh air - and just happened upon you. Or something like that. In any case, curiosity leads the cat over, as Pumpkin was never taught the meaning of fear; maybe a mark against her owner, but apparently a few instincts skipped this one. She sniffs at Kotetsu and lets him paw her, only releasing a hiss of warning when he overdoes it.

Watch it, punk.]

[Ew tiger slobber.

No okay she doesn't hiss again, or give much of a reaction besides blinking slowly at the gesture of affection, tiny nose wiggling as she gives him another sniff. Then she stretches into a full stance on all her legs, brushing against him briefly before tip-toeing around her surroundings. Not often is she allowed out of the house, okay? This is kinda exciting]

[Bah. I have destroyed countless stuffed animals and catnip in my homeland. GOPHERS ARE BUT PEBBLES IN MY PATH.

Unfortunately, there be no gophers here... or much of anything. Comes with the territory when it's winter. Though her sniffing around eventually leads her closer to the forest, and coincidentally...

To the trees.

Funny thing about Pumpkin; she loves to climb things. Humans, animals, furniture, curtains... the higher, the better. And so her tiny head swivels up so she can give the closest tree a lookover, judging the distance of the lowest branch. Her body tenses in on itself, like a spring, and then--

Lift-off. SHE SHALL SEE THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN]

[WAIT don't do that, what if you get stuck. He tromps over and goes to get her by the scruff of her neck carefully. Or at least, he'll try to. Whether he's fast enough to grab this feline is one to be seen.

But Kotetsu's obvious displeasure swerves her attention. Perched on the branch, she peers over, tail flicking curiously. What's wrong, bro?]

[It's a good thing Sanji's got this, or there would be two parental figures having fits for a while.

He doesn't even need Sky Walk. The chef jumps into the branch, gently, so as not to jostle the young cat who is now eagerly meowing - either for food or attention. In fact, she trots right into his open arms when he bends down]


Maaah, your goal in life is to give me a shitty heart-attack, isn't it? [;A; He can't even be angry. Just grateful she didn't decide to climb higher. He knows she would've.

And he's coming down, Kotetsu. B| Stop your distressed sobbing.]

... Why the hell were you freaking out? [Srsly, bro. Chill.

Of course, the answer comes to him the moment the question's out of his mouth. This is Kotetsu; answer enough.

Pumpkin is also extremely... unrepentant. She graciously accepts Sanji scratching behind her ears until antsy curiosity has her wiggling her way up to his shoulder, only to catapult herself to the ground. And then it's walking back near Kotetsu, as if to say "See? I was fine."]
