[Video...!?]

[thecatcameback]

[The baseball field. A rather mundane sight for many NV network entries. This time, however, the camera seems rather adamantly set on the ground somewhere out around the pitcher's mound. Some brushing and nudging noises against the microphone seem to indicate someone try to move it, but they aren't having much success.

A small black cat with a red bandana tied around his neck appears in the frame. He, it seems, is the one so busily messing with the bulky NV. With an annoying yowl he sits down in the dirt.

Then he speaks. His mouth doesn't move but the sound of a voice is unmistakeable. And furthermore, the voice will sound quite familiar to many people. After all, it once was only a voice, no body, no form, no nothing.]

Well. Never mind then.

[Now he looks up into the camera.]

Hello Siren's Port. It's me, Sissel.

I, uh... figured a few things out while I was gone.

I'm just makin' sure the new guy knows his place in this city.

[MEOWTH, HE HAS BEEN HERE LONGER THAN YOU.

JUST NOT AS A CAT.

SHUT UP.]

[momchester]

What if I brought home another talking animal?

[jokerofcrime]

[.....GASP.]

...Wh-why?

[momchester]

It's just a question.

[jokerofcrime]

[TSUN CAT.] I, uh, can't say I'd be pleased with th' arrangement. Used t' bein' the only talkin' cat in the gang- er family, after all.

[momchester]

But what do you really think would happen?

[jokerofcrime]

[WELL.

DUH.]

It ain't like it'd be the first time someone'd tried to upgrade t' a better class o' cat.

[momchester]

Meowth, I didn't anything about replacing you. Just getting someone else too.

See, even if I wanted another cat, it wouldn't change anything. That's not how friendship works. There are enough sunny spots in the world for a million talking cats.

[TENDER HALLMARK MOMENT.]

Y-you mean that? [Oh God, he's gonna cry again. Someone stop him.] I mean, Jess 'n Jimmy were the closest friends I had back home, but even we used t' fight and break it off with each other all th' time.

[momchester]

[Mary gives him her most sincere smile. Honestly, it's kind of adorable when Meowth gets choked up like this.]

I have fights with people I care about sometimes, but- well, you know me. John and I were broken off for months, did you know I even gave him a legal separation paper? But I never stopped caring about him or making sure he was okay.

[She doesn't really need to say it; Meowth's been there the whole time. He's seen it.]

You don't have to get jealous, okay? I'm not going anywhere.
