Cat Stuck in a Tree

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

[So. Luke has wandered out of Tear's watchful eyes and managed to get himself stuck in a very odd position. You see, Luke is currently in a tree. It is true that the zombies don't enter the forest but this particular tree has branches extending out past the border. There is a creature under the sturdy branch Luke has chosen to sit in, just wandering in circles and growling.

Luke stretches out over the tree and tries to shoo the thing away, his sword still in its sheath.]

J-Just go away! What the hell are you anyway? You look like you were human...

[He shudders and grips the branch.] I said go away, damn it!!

[And his shouting draws a couple more curious, hungry things.] How can you things even hear?! [With a huff, Luke sits back against the tree trunk, safe in his branch. He figures they'll wander off eventually.

Yes, he could just, you know, go into the forest. But he's busy thinking this is way too disturbing for words.] I want to go home... [He reaches back and grips his sword. He's debating fighting them but it isn't so easy to decide.]

[He blinks. Whoa, a lot to take in. Tail, frame, a chick.]

U-Uh, oh, I'm fine, yeah. They saw me and I just sort of...ran, I guess. Uhm, your... [tail. tail. tail.]] - Wait what's the part mean about pressure?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right... I keep assuming that people know what I am, and I shouldn't! I'm a Sky Doll--we're androids. So we can withstand some higher...things...than a human body. I know pressure is one of them, but that's because we're made of a steel-plastic-biomaterial mix.

[Luke blinks. Man that is a lot of words he doesn't know. Work, brain.]

So...someone built you to be human-like?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Well, not human, no! People from Papathea aren't human, so I look like them instead. That's why I have a tail!

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, is that weird? Knowing someone built you? I guess you must be used to it.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess it is a little weird, but it's not that bad. I don't remember being built or anything like that, so there's not much to think about.

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

So...you're happy? [He frowns.] But I guess people don't even remember being born, right? I heard that once.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Well...I'm not always happy... But that's not that weird, is it?

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

No. Just when someone says 'built' I think of a table or something. Not a person. It seemed like something people could get touchy about.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's what you're worried about? That's sweet of you! But it's not uncommon where I'm from for us to be built. We're pretty common, actually.

[royallybitching.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, okay. [He smiles.] We don't have anything like that. Er, like you. What do you do? Are you like a normal person?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Weeeell! We do lots of things. In a very specific industry...
