Everybody Wants To Be A Cat (Cats in Facilier's Army)

[Siri]

(ooc: June 15th. Morning.) Siri walked into the woods with a grin. It was smaller than her island but at least it was better than being stuck in that circus all day. She sniffed the air smelling some familiar smells and realizing she wasn't the only one who'd come out here today. She made her way to a clearing spotting a couple cats.

"Well hello. Good to see I'm not the only cat who has some sense." said Siri.

She smiled at the introductions and waved to Bagheera.

"Hello Bagheera. Good to meet you as well." said Siri.

Thomas had come out here with Fat Cat. Being cooped up in the circus had been a little boring and now he wanted to have some fun in the nearby woods. When he saw Siri he waved to her.

"Hello, Siri right? Nice to meet you." said Thomas.

Thomas smiled as Bagheera joined them.

"Welcome Bagheera." said Thomas.

XXXX

Fat Cat was quiet as he walked out with Thomas. It was nice to have another cat here that wasn't from the jungle. Thomas had lived on the streets before coming a family of cats in a mansion. He'd come to get out of the house as he was one of the army's medics and he was glad to for the break. He saw Siri and Bagheera both arrive and waved to them.

"Good morning cats. Nice to meet you both. I'm Fat Cat." said Fat Cat.

Bagheera had also smelled and heard others in the forest as he made his way to the group of cats.

"Hello everyone. I'm Bagheera. Good to see you. I haven't met some of you yet but it's good to be out of the house." said Bagheera.

He paused as Thomas sounded so much like Baloo it made him a little homesick. He shook thoughts of home away for now and focused on his new friends.

[Oliver]

"Well what a fine group we have. I have seen some of you before but haven't had a chance to introduce myself. I am shere-khan" Shere-Khan replied, being as polite and pleasant as possible. It was very easy for him to. He was surrounded by felines, wild or otherwise. And he was more than happy to take what he had. Especially since siri was here. Siri was a feline of a wild, free spirit and it was a spirit he felt a kinship with. She was his mate after all. He went over closely to her, rubbing her a little before turning to bagheera and saw him react curiously to thomas. And shere-khan didn't blame his reaction. Thomas did sound similar to baloo. As much as baloo was someone he was not very fond of, he did understand the reason for bagheera's nostalgia. They were friends and it also was a reminder of home. Where they should've been. So shere-khan did give a kind nod to bagheera "Hello panther. Good to see you accompanying us" He then smiled and greeted his mate "Hello dear" He then turned to oliver, toulouse and some of the other cats with interest.

"Dad! Dad! Wait up!" Toulouse chased after his father and bagheera, realizing the two cats he was closest too were heading off. He grew friendly with bagheera and was glad he and his father finally met. Now maybe they could be a small team. Or something down that line. Toulouse got near his father but smiled brightly at bagheera "Hey bagheera! Good to see you!" He then noticed oliver and replied "Welcome to the team! I'm Toulouse!"

Tom followed fat cat not far behind, he felt like he needed to be around cats nowadays. Especially since he was surrounded by constant people, people who didn't really take his side. Sure they treated him like a member but jerry was kind of living the high life whereas he was just... not. He felt jealousy and when he was with fat cat he felt a little better about his situation as a facilier member. He signed to the other cats with a smile Mind if I join? My name's tom. Nice to meet you all He then turned to see oliver trip and greet them. Tom tried not to laugh but he did smile amusedly at oliver.

Oliver was curious as he saw siri go out, then shere-khan and bagheera not far behind. So he decided to follow. He tried to be graceful but found himself trip on a couple sticks and fell by accident. He shrugged it off though, smiling ashamedly before replying shyly "Hi. I just felt like coming along. If you don't mind. My name's Oliver" He then smiled to toulouse at his greeting and hoped the others would be just as welcoming.

[Siri]

Siri smiled glancing up at Shere Khan. Her mate. She still couldn't believe they were mates. She had tried to get his attention and she had. Just not the way she'd expected. But she was still grateful he wanted her. And she did not want to screw this up.

"Hello Shere Khan.." said Siri.

She nuzzled her mate before glancing at the rest of the cats around them.

XXXX

Thomas paused looking up seeing Toulouse.

"There's my little tough guy. Glad to see you could make it." said Thomas.

He paused glancing down at Oliver and smiled.

"Hello, Oliver. You're more than welcome to come along. The more the merrier. Besides I'd be worried if you wondered off by yourself. With this war going on none of us are really safe to be on our own." said Thomas.

XXXX

Fat Cat glanced at Tom and smiled.

"Of course you can come." said Fat Cat.

He was trying to learn sign language to speak with the cat and so he could understand him better. But he wasn't sure if he was always good at it.

"Think you could help me learn that better? I've been trying but I'd like to know what you're saying when we talk. Otherwise, you might as well be speaking another language." said Fat Cat.

XXXX

Bagheera smiled at Oliver.r

"Hey, Toulouse. Good to see you again." said Bagheera.

He smiled at the other cats and saw how cozy Siri and Shere Khan were getting. Looks like they'd found each other. And he felt a tinge of jealousy. He had never thought of a mate before but now he felt rather lonely. But it wasn't likely they'd have another female cat join them anytime soon.

"Hello Shere Khan. Hello, Siri. Good to see you both." said Bagheera.

[Marie]

(OCC: Hope you don't mind me putting Marie and Duchess in here.. Also poor Bagheera, tempted now to find a female cat for him lmao)

Shere Khan smiled as his mate nuzzled to him. He accepted her and nuzzled right back "Always nice to see you, my love" He then turned to see Bagheera smile, but he could immediately tell the panther was a little envious. He replied back to Bagheera, sticking by siri "Hello Bagheera. Good to see you as well" He then felt it best not to comment on the jealousy, wanting to honor the agreement between him and Bagheera to be friendly. He turned to see marie and duchess and replied "More felines. Splendid"

Toulouse tilted his head in pride as he was called tough. He still always desired to impress his step father. Toulouse was immensely fond of Thomas and wanted his approval. He turned to bagheera with a big grin, viewing Bagheera as like a uncle figure replying "Heya Bagheera, good to see you!" He then turned to see him talk to oliver and smiled to oliver "Dad's right. This place can be spooky and dangerous" He trolled oliver a tiny bit by making oooh ghost like noises. He then replied "Can you handle it oliver?" He then turned to hear his sister and mother both. Excited and beyond shocked he replied "Mama! Marie! Just in time!" He then saw duchess nuzzle Thomas and he blew a raspberry "Mama! Don't be gross!" He then rolled his eyes at his sister commenting on his rudeness.

Duchess and Marie heard that cats were wandering about and they decided to finally meet up with others. Duchess and Marie had met Thomas and Toulouse previously but hadn't spent too much time with them due to being busy with getting used to the environment. But now was a great time. Marie saw her brother and step father, getting immensely excited. Marie replied happily "Papa! Toulouse!" She then hugged them before allowing her mother to greet the boys. She then sighed lovingly at duchess nuzzling Thomas and then she sneered at Toulouse "Toulouse that's rude. Let mama and papa be happy" She then bowed to the other cats "Hello everyone!"
XXXXX

Duchess was delighted to see her son and husband safe. She allowed marie to greet them before going over herself. She gave a tender hug to Toulouse "Hello my sweet Toulouse" She then went over and nuzzled Thomas and replied "Hello my sweet. I missed you" She then chuckled at Toulouse's reaction and replied to marie "Oh it's alright marie, your brother is fine" She then turned to notice the other cats and replied "Bonjour everyone, I am sorry my daughter and I got a little late"

Oliver smiled at being greeted by Thomas. He then shrugged at thomas' concern of him being alone "Eh, I've wandered alone before. Not fun but I can take care of myself if I need to" He then turned to fat cat talking to tom, Bagheera talking to others and then noticed marie and duchess. He then shrugged, sighing slightly, as he felt once again being forced into the background. He came near fat cat and tom though, a secret part of him praying to get noticed. He smiled though as tom did in fact notice him. He then nodded "Sure tom" And went over to fat cat and tom.

Tom smiled in delight as his good friend did enjoy his presence. He then grinned more as fat cat requested to learn more sign language. Tom nodded insistently. He then showed fat cat his hands replying I'll teach you as we have our little meetup here. It's easy. I can help you learn to understand He then slowly began to move his hands which showed letters A. B. C. D He then turned to fat cat and replied You gotta learn letters first He also mouthed so fat cat could read his mouth just in case. He then noticed a couple other cats come and say hello to Toulouse and Thomas in particular. He then noticed oliver look slightly annoyed due to being ignored now and tom replied with a piteous smile Feeling lonesome oliver? Come by. I can teach you sign language too if you want
