"Waaaul!" (WoW)

[thistlechaser]

Only PokeMUSH people will get that subject line!

I got a new pet, yay! A ghost kitty! And yes, I'm strongly tempted to name it Katerwaul (or perhaps Caterwaul, since people would think I "misspelled" it to be all kool or leet or something).

See? He's transparent! Isn't that cool? Unfortunately he also started at level 19, so I'm sloooooowly leveling him up (loltank!me = resting after every single fight).

It was quite a trip to get him, including being chased by NPCs out of two different cities (sheesh! I'm a harmless... um... giant monster-looking bull thing! I just wanted to pass through!) and sort of totally being unprepared how to go about the whole catching process (dismiss = abandon, right? *is dumb*!) so I almost died to the first one before I remembered how easy it is to run away in WoW. Second time was the same ("Why does it keep saying I have too many pets?! Does the stable count?"), and I finally figured it out on the third time he appeared. I don't do my homework because WoW is "so easy", then I end up making stupid mistakes like this. :P

Hm, maybe I should look up what Sly's Kats were named, maybe one of those would work as a name. (And I can't believe I don't remember the names.) Was Wail one? And... Wrath? What the heck was the name of his main female one... Wail doesn't sound quite right. (Edit: The few logs I checked seem to say Jazz was his main female Kat. Bah, that's a boring name.)

naikitty suggested a name from the Thistle-Chaser series of books. That seems the next logical place to look!

I'm so bad, it's almost time to log off and I haven't finished my daily FFXI work yet. *logs on there now*

I don't remember what his main one's name was, but it wasn't Wail. Wail was your PC Kat.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I sort of thought I had a PC one, but that seemed like a lot of Kats associated with one player. :P Guess I had a thing for the evil little buggers.

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's actually why I was a bit disgruntled at Psykitt at first; you had such a fixation on Kats that it made it seem like there was already tons of feline originals when there was, in fact, only one.

Of course, then I got one, and all was forgiven.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

You were a little nuts about the Kats. Not only did you go out of your way to get a bunch of them for Sly, other people did as well. I can't remember who it was now (I think it was Robyn? But it might have been Dana), but someone actually traded a bunch of stuff to get a Kat and gave it to Sly.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

Well, there was actually the other set of felines-Tigrynx(?)/Tigore. So having so many feline originals was a genuine complaint and it was actually something I brought up when I voted for Psykitt, but they were just too perfect!

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally forgot about Tigwhatevers. Yeah, there was a definitely pro-feline agenda that kinda rankled sometimes.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

To be fair, PokeMUSH wasn't responsible for the existence of either Kats or the tigers. They were from a game or two before and just kind of had to come with when P:PE broke off from the wanker-run game. Psykitt was the only one we came up with, but it wasn't like most people knew the history, they just saw lots and lots of kitties.

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

Fairness and reason have no place here. FELINE AGENDA.

Game needed more mollusks, that was the problem.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Hey now, we had a Cloyster staffer, didn't we? (Wait, was that you?)

I can't believe how much I've forgotten, when that game was the center of my thoughts for so long.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. P:ANB. Which is amusing, since P:ANB had broken off from a former game in the same way we had from them.

What a messy situation that all was...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Psykitts really were perfect, made only more so by the fact that Delee drew the art for them. I can still recall how cute and pink and winged kitten-ish they were.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

(I think it was Robyn? But it might have been Dana), but someone actually traded a bunch of stuff to get a Kat and gave it to Sly.

Oh man, had I been in on that plan? Or was it a surprise gift or something?

Wizard power abuse! (I typed 'mod' by mistake, that's how long it's been!)

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain you knew it was going to happen beforehand, since both of us were on staff, but you weren't the one who came up with the idea or anything. You had your moments, but that was not one of them. ;)

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

Nah, I was a Tentacruel. Cnidarian is close enough to mollusk in Pokemon terms, though...taxonomy isn't exactly the game's strong suit.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh right. Well we did have a Cloyster... I think it was one of our earlier staffers.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Good. :P

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

It was Choji's staff-alt, I believe.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yeah you might be right.
