So you see it too. We're all a little off-kilter, a little crazy, but one cannot expect a plant supremacist to fair better than his human counterpart in the enterprise of running a civilisation. Be it the triumph of flora or fauna, we will be welcome so long as we are of use then expunged at earliest convenience. I've seen it countless times with my own eyes, my lovely worm, until even a desert such as this cannot sustain a speck of life.

[ He can be rather suave in spite of his taboo proclivities, or more worryingly his smoothness is owed to his much-maligned interests. A man such as he must have redeemable qualities to be bearable. ]

Come now, Zazie. You've fashioned for yourself a form and it stands to reason you may tailor it as you please. I rather enjoy the cruel judgement of humans even when it hurts me. Nothing like frank words to keep one sober, know what I mean? And I can't help but feel you are not being entirely forthright with me.

A veeery optimistic prognosis, I fear. Historically speaking, those who presumed their innocuous existence would not invite hostility were subsumed, enslaved, or worse. Live and let live is not the motto of conquerors like Mr Knives.

[ The winners do not need so much as a material reason to exercise their might. He could name a number of spectacular species who have been hunted to extinction for the sport of it. ]

They'll trap the greatest of the worms in a colosseum and award its slayer with a shiny trinket. Does it seem far-fetched? Oh the ghastly things I have seen~

[ Naughty thing; so worms have a transactional side. ]

I'll make sure that neither the plants nor the humans emerge victorious in this conflict. You can act on behalf of whichever party you please while working with yours truly behind the scenes.

As for what I could offer to sweeten the deal is a question for yourself. I could pamper you Zazie, but your tastes are not informed by human culture. Do you grasp what your humanoid form desires of life or is this mode of being new to you?

It is above all the mistreatment of plants that raises his hackles. You could gamble on a world governed by inter-dimensional demigods, but personally, I wouldn't recommend it.

[ His catchphrase is but a metaphor for his resourcefulness and the singularity of his being is very much a matter of debate for those who have witnessed his corpse and his lively self extant in two places at once. Nine lives indeed. ]

I mean no offence when I say this, sweetheart, but you are something of a feral child. The works of human beings are not without merit and it appears you have yet to experience much of life as most know it. I would be happy to introduce you to it. I have the most eclectic collection of toys in my residence.

[ More toys than a grown catman should have. Some acquired by legitimate means, others trophies. ]

I'll teach you to enjoy it when I spread your beautiful legs. I'm fond of pussy and boys alike. In the case of the former, I'm positive yours would be exceptionally delicious.

It would delight me to behold your reaction (or lack thereof) to any artificial creation. It is no exaggeration to say you are a wonder of the world.

[ He is fittingly a curious cat, rather intrigued by the psychology of a worm in the shape of a teenager. Where does the Beast end and Zazie begin in respect to their resemblance to humanity, or whether his "young" acquaintance is apathetic to the arts, culture, entertainment as a whole and has no non-worm interests to speak of? The entity known as Pocketcat does possess interests besides those which are frowned upon. ]

A case of crossed wires, old chap! Please, rephrase your question and I shall satisfy it.

That's just fine

My raison d'etre—reason for being, is none other than the subversion of developments that upset the order of things under the light of the Moon. I am very well-endowed with the skills to foil the greatest of our competitors' schemes with centuries worth of experience in sabotage. An item of intelligence relayed to Mr Knives or his adversaries, at the right time, can affect millions, my dearest Zazie.

[ The oversized cat does not clarify his peculiar capitalisation of the word "moon." ]

I can guarantee an outcome: chaos. From that morass of uncertainty will arise a new paradigm upon the nature of which we can only speculate.

Might you accommodate this chap with a gift to mark our friendship? Please remove your shirt and send me a picture of your lovely shoulders and chest.

I need to let off some... steam.

[ To think that this gentleman solicited the colloquial selfie and received an exquisite attempt at a professional photoshoot! Blasé indeed! Do you comprehend how much a juvenile body is worth, Zazie!? ]

Oh~!

What composition! Might we find a burgeoning artiste in the marrow of the hive? So the Beast appears flat as a boy; and yet these shoulders posses a feminine tilt.


[ When the yellowed-eyed entity's pupils descend to the coy teasing of their loincloth he has no recourse but to push his hand into his pocket—an ulterior explanation for his name. When did you learn to tempt, brat? ]

The feral child is more gifted at beguiling than one might presume. Allow me to sign our contract on the dotted line.

[ Fuck...

The meaning of his euphemism is revealed when Pocketcat sends a copy of the photograph bearing his "signature": Zazie's figure is splattered in semen from the waist to the ribcage to their nose. Horny is an understatement. ]

[ The Pocketcat is a straightforward man (according to his own dubious account) and like the reprehensible people of whom Zazie speaks, he may be led by his overactive libido by a crafty girl or boy; but what of the other side of the coin, worm king? The hive's ambition to outdance a dancer is a daring one! The well-dressed entity is not infallible, but dexterous indeed.

There is also a dimension to Pocketcat's attraction to young people that Zazie is unlikely to be aware of because it is not explicit or violent in nature. A third thing. ]


A bold assertion, old friend. I wager you know not the half of my proclivities. But you will. Yessiree.

I could sign twice, alas my physical reproduction of your image is soaked beyond salvation. What happy fortunate is it, then, that you are hardier than paper.

I look forward to being the recipient of more of your kindness, sweetheart. My home is open to thee. I'd love to read you a book, and we can play games if literature is a bore. With this cat, the fun won't quit.
