Being frank, neither does most of the world. Fungi are one of the most alien things on the planet- even the normal one. Death as an extant form of life- the studies are enough to make my head spin.

[But, that won't do anything for their mood, so as he goes for his tea- he's let it cool, hm- he gives an impressed purr at Amanda's tale.] Well now- I take it the idea was that anyone who passed the test would possibly need assistance getting out? Or did you need someone to perform another task after the game?

[In any case.] Natural isn't easy to control after all- a single thing goes wrong and there's not going to be any dialing back. But yes; we might not be able to use any resistance tactics, but the best way to learn is to see, and you need to see this.

[The cat pauses, blinking at his friend. Given what he knows of her eagerness, he decides he'd better add one small request.]

...though I'd rather we both use the hazmat for the initial tour of the guide rope's limits at least, so that we can maximize the time...

[Amanda waves away his question about the nerve gas house game, because the answer is less than straightforward. Understatement of the century, right there.]

It's a long, long story. I'll explain it all later.

[After their current discussion, but before she leaves, Noa WILL hear the story of Saw II.]

Fine. I promise to wear full hazmat gear. Satisfied?

[noasark]

[He will hear it, and be entirely entertained, listening with the kind of big big eyes that only cats can have.

For now they're just normal cat eyes, and he nods.] Much.

In return, you can take as many pictures of me in my own hazmat as you like. ...As you can imagine, it's made for this form.

[Cute kitty hazmat pictures with which to tease with...Not the best trade, but it's a Trade!]

[She cracks a small, half-smile at that. It takes effort to work up even that much, but she makes the attempt because she knows Noa was trying to get one out of her. It's the least she can do in return, right?]

Deal. They'll go great with that emo poem you posted to the network.

[That had been YEARS ago, even BEFORE she vanished. Why does her memory have to be so good?!]

AACCCCKKKK-

[NO

NO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-]

How do you even remember that still!!

[The point goes to Amanda this time!]
