Does anyone know a vendor that sells cat trees
Relatedly, I also need curtains. And someone to install them, preferably.

Willing to negotiate payment for assistance or a good recommendation.

This for an actual cat or one of the batty guys that live on the roofs?

[thewhydunnit]

an actual cat
diana is
energetic

[This is a nice way of saying she's a huge brat.]

[returncoat]

Hence the curtains, i'm guessing. I might be able to help put those up when you find some. Did you get her here or is she a friend from home?

Is this for your omen?

[ Ange did briefly see that cat back in the jungle, after all.. ]

Or are you just picking up hobbies?

[thewhydunnit]

Yeah, my omen.
Diana's been restless lately.

[Can't imagine why. Not like this whole endless night where the sky is dotted with uncountable numbers of little green-tinged lights would bring up any traumatic associations that his Omen would reflect or anything.]

[entreats]

[ Restless, huh. Ange may not be capable of linking any concrete reason for the uneasiness to the behaviour itself, but she does know that these creatures often reflect people counterparts in some way.

In other words - it might not be just this Diana who's uneasy. And despite the fact that Ange is still a little iffy on the other guy, there's a part of her - read: the part of her that shares a gene pool with Battler - that can't help but be a little concerned all the same.

Just concerned enough to at least ask: ]

Are you alright?

[ .. even if it's asked a little bluntly. But, you know, that's Ange's own little part of that gene pool. ]

Okay.
I know this isn't how it works.
Or what you're looking for.
But I just pictured cats growing out of a tree.
Just huge tree filled with kittens.
...Do you think that's why they get stuck up there so often?

[thewhydunnit]

[Will's immediate reaction to this is somewhere along the lines of thinking "what" in every human language in existence at the same time. After a moment:]

Cats climb trees because of their hunting instincts--to survey their surroundings and keep track of potential dangers or prey. Or because they got too excited chasing something. They get stuck because the structure of their claws means they can't go back down headfirst.

[#nailedit???]

[onekindsoul]

Ooookay!
I gotchya.
So by that logic a cat tree would grow because a cat got stuck up there! Making it like the seed to turn the tree into a cat tree!
I like where this is going.

I've found you can find nearly anything in the Willful Machine, though if you aren't one for haggling you'll over pay.
It may be easier to simply make one, it's merely enrichment for a cat to climb, yes? Some wood and padding would likely do the trick.

[thewhydunnit]

Building things is a bit complicated right now, unfortunately.

[tfw only one arm rip]

[mehanizovati]

Not much of a handyman then?

[not much of a multiple hand man, viktor, don't be rude.]

Fair. Well, if you cannot find anyone I wouldn't terribly mind putting something together for you. Provide the materials and allow me to meet this cat and it would be a fine enough afternoon.

[adaine]

[Okay... this is actually a bit adorable.]

You could probably commission one from one of the architects.

[thewhydunnit]

Anyone in particular whose work you'd recommend?

[Diana is a brat but he loves her ok, she deserves nice things.]

[adaine]

I don't know many of them, and the ones I do don't really specialize in furniture. I can try to look into it?

Is the cat in question your omen?

please tell me you're not making an obtuse joke about bernkastel arriving, i think that's the last thing any of us needs

i've nearly had a heart attack the few times i've seen her lookalike around town i don't need more stress in my life right now when the swords of damocles's extended families are all jostling for a place above my head

[thewhydunnit]

If Bernkastel were to arrive here, I imagine I would soon find myself without enough arms to tell the network anything.
She's not exactly the type to forget her grudges.

[God, the idea of Bernkastel finding him here makes him tired. He already hates that he got separated from Lion somewhere in the midst of their escape.]

[forwantofahorse]

...It's difficult to imagine Bernkastel as some sort of unhinged villain, to be honest.

I wrote her as detached and perhaps callous, but ultimately more sympathetic than Beatrice. More evidence that I wasn't simply conjuring illusions when I bled onto my message bottles, I suppose.

If you hear anything about the cat tree, wil you please send it my way?

I find myself in need of one, desperately.

[thewhydunnit]

User "v" has offered to build one for me in exchange for materials. You could approach them with the same request.

[slightlytaller]

I'll be sure to send them a message soon enough about it. Although I may have suddenly found myself with a cat, people seem exceptionally nervous right now and it might be best to be a little patient right now and see what happens.

Thank you.

Has anyone told you where to find cat trees yet?
Mostly I'm answering because I know how to hang curtains.
If I didn't, they'd still be in the JC Penney's bag mom brought them home in.
And I don't need money or trade goods or anything.
Well, other than recommendations for a good place to eat?

[thewhydunnit]

[The username has him briefly doubletake; he wonders, for a moment, if she might be one of the Witches of Theatergoing, like Featherine, but the mention of JC Penney and a mother disproves that working hypothesis fairly readily. Probably a human, then, and that's for the best.]

I'm only recently arrived. Any recommendations I could offer would be limited in scope at best.
But the help would still be appreciated.

[miiraculous]

Do you think that cats grow on trees, sir?

[thewhydunnit]

[why this again.]

Not a literal cat tree. A climbing apparatus for feline enrichment.
