[There's something moving in the water off the beach, first just a large shadow, and then the wingtips of a manta ray the size of a small island flick above the surface. It crests, water running off its back--and there is Cy, not even damp, clinging to the creature's fleshy back wearing the expression of a feral cat who's just found a bucket of fish heads.

IE, she's in a very good mood.]

See, told you you'd like this place, Ray. It's got stars. Oh sure, your place is nice, but my place? It's got stars!

[Holy shit.]

...Friend of yours?

[crimson-mists.livejournal.com]

[ Akai watches with mild interest. ] You brought that creature here, did you?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Just sort of....stares. Because there is a talking cat riding a giant, possibly also-talking manta ray]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[stands on the beach, peering out at them with amused interest]

My, this is new.

[O___________O]

I WANT A RIDE!

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Hi, Shan! [Chases her tail on Ray's back.] This is Ray. I call him Ray.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

He's not a that, he's a him!

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Nah, he doesn't say much, Captain America. [Streeeetch. And the massive ray banks and starts to sink again.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

This is Ray! He's my friend. [Lawl the manta ray keeps cruisin']

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Tsks at his manners.] Ray's not a pony. You have to ask nice.

[bacchusfairy.livejournal.com]

Um... um... please please pretty please?~

[contract_star]

...Is that a manta ray?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You never know; he's one of your friends.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I should hope so!

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

We can talk for hours, us two. He does go on! [And Ray starts sinking underneath the water again. Cy seems unperturbed by this, despite her position on his back.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

I think that's nice enough!

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

I like my friends!

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

No, it's a pancake.

[contract_star]

Well, alright, it's a manta ray. How did you come to meet a manta ray?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

I live with him now!

[contract_star]

I see...what about Ace?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Never said there was anything wrong with them.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] I didn't know manta rays had so much to talk about! ...He won't sink too far, will he?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm still with Ace! He lives with us too.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Humph. She trots to the edge of the manta ray, steels herself, and leeps into the water. Then promptly sinks.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

He's an interesting guy, Ray. Can't say his fish name--these fish, they have the strangest words for each other.

It's fine! He's taken me all over the place.

[contract_star]

...Do you live underwater now?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

........[And guess who's running into the water now? Because a drowning cat is not as good as a live and sarcastic cat. Or so he keeps telling himself]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I imagine he feels the same way about you.

[laugh] Well. As long as you're certain. Where have you gone?
