[Arthur normally isn't the sort of person to bother people at work; he knows better than that, he wasn't raised in hell, and it's not like anything he might have to bring to someone's attention is that urgent, in the end. But the fact of the matter is that he doesn't know where else to reach Shigure, and there are some things he doesn't feel right discussing over text, and...well, maybe the cats will be a suitable distraction if things get awkward.

So he'll show up to this cat...adoption...thing, and he'll just kind of be checking the general place out while trying to discern if Shigure is here if no one minds.]

[morgrim]

[Purrfect Pals is located fairly close to the animal shelter, though it's much smaller in scale. You'll find it mostly empty today, so you can look around without being interrupted. The place is neat and nicely furnished, with a glass window revealing the inner room where the cats are kept. They each have their own surprisingly spacious cages, and from the look of it they're being taken care of. There's another room connected to that one, where one can presumably play with the cats if they want to, given the amount of toys neatly tucked away in the corner.

Unsurprisingly, that's where you'll find Shigure, parked on the floor with a couple of cats. One of them has decided that his pants are comfy and is never leaving and the other is currently attempting to get the feathery toy Shigure's waving around her.

It's not exactly dignified, but when he notices Arthur he'll hold up a hand in greeting and raise his voice so he can be heard.]

Hey! Give me a sec!

[Not that he really needs to raise his voice... Anyway, with that he'll scoop the cats up (they wriggle a bit but otherwise don't seem too upset) and set them back in their cage before heading out into the main room to greet Arthur properly.]

Thanks for stopping by! You here looking for a cat?

[armati]

...I'm considering, but not today.

[...They are cute, though, he'll grant that much.]

I was wondering if I could talk to you about a few things, regarding what's been going on lately.

[You know, Retrospec and all.]

[morgrim]

Oh, yeah, all the crazy shit with Retrospec.

[He'll gesture for you to follow; there's a sitting area a little further in, he can still keep an eye on the cats and the front door from here, so it works.]

Anything in particular bothering you?

[armati]

I don't know if I'd say it's bothering me.

[...I mean. Okay, so some of it is bothering him but that's all stuff that he's going to put in a jar in a drawer near his bed and never speak of until he dies, if he has his way.]

Have you remembered anything yet? I'm curious.

[armati]

[Well, last month was...an adventure, he supposes; whether it was a good adventure or not is a little complicated, but overall Arthur finds that he can't complain too much, outside of some of the memories he's gotten. Those weren't pleasant, but at the very least the latest ones have just been more confusing than anything.

He's fairly sure Shigure is still in one piece, unless some sort of tragic accident befell the guy over the past few days; as such, today will find Arthur stopping into Shigure's place of work - maybe he'll be a bit more receptive to seeing the cats today, maybe not, who knows. Either way, he's got a notebook with him, and thankfully things are slow in here at the moment.]

[morgrim]

[It is a slow day, and Shigure's actually out front, so he notices Arthur when he walks in.]

Hey, Arthur! Good to see you! How're you holding up?

[armati]

Better than one would expect, actually, given everything that's been going on.

I take it you've been having a good time.

[morgrim]

Didn't have a great time down in the sixth layer, but I got out of there before things went real bad, so I guess I can't complain!

[Shrug!]

So what brings you by? Changed your mind about the cats?

[armati]

Perhaps, though I was also wondering if you could assist me with something.

[He'll open the notebook then, setting it down in front of Shigure and letting it fall open to a point where he's drawn...a bunch of these? His art skills are not the greatest but they're a bunch of vaguely catlike blobs with hats and that is all that he really needs to get across.]

I don't suppose you know what those are.

[He sounds so fucking tired, Shigure.]

[It's good that the firewall is no longer here, that the areas outside the city can be at least somewhat accessed; Wesker isn't willing to go very far outside the city, mind, especially since this is usually around the time when everything goes to hell for several weeks, but if anything the timing of it is all the more reason to come out here today - because things haven't gone to hell yet, and it's likely a good idea to let that person from the network fight for a while before everything Vanderweele has decided to be makes that difficult.

So here we are, outside the city; Wesker had brought the sword Jaeger gave him along with him, and as for him...well, he's got the assault shotgun strapped to his back and the handgun on his person, so he's definitely going to be fine.

He's back in the leather thing again, just because it's less likely to get caught on something; this is probably making a hell of a first impression overall, but who cares, honestly.]

Let's go, shall we?

[morgrim]

Might as well, should be pretty interesting.

[Shigure's definitely here to try to figure out how to use a sword, and Wesker's company is appreciated. Sure, he could try this on his own, but thankfully he's not that stupid. It's good to have Wesker along, even though he's kiiiind of side-eyeing the choice in outfit here. Like yeah, maybe it'll be practical, but who wears something like that, anyway. And let's just not discuss the guns at all. Sounds good.

Shigure's not exactly dressed up, and in hindsight he probably should've worn clothes that couldn't be snagged as easily, but what he's got on is easy to move in and comfortable for physical activity, so hopefully he'll be fine.]

So what sorts of things do you usually find out here?

[manufactured]

Monsters, generally. Things that obviously weren't people at any point.

[The clarification is absolutely necessary, okay.]

[morgrim]

Huh.

[He has no idea what to do with the second part, but that's a good thing?? Definitely a good thing.]

I'm guessing the monsters aren't too much of a threat?

[manufactured]

I don't find them to be. But there's a reason I'm out here with you, isn't there?

03/17

[armati]

Would you be willing to come over this evening? I have something to show you.

[morgrim]

yeah of course
i'm guessing it's a surprise?

[armati]

It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, to be blunt.

[Here, have his address.]

[morgrim]

let me know what time works for you and i'll be over!
sounds like it'll be fun

[And sure enough, at the appointed time he'll show up to knock on your door! He's a little late, but it's not like you've had to wait forever for him.]

[armati]

[He'd actually be surprised if Shigure were on time; he doesn't seem like that kind of person, honestly... That said, he'll open the door quickly enough, and when he does he is greeting you in, uh.

This shitty thing.

He doesn't have his right arm in whatever the hell apparatus came with it, he's left that in his room, but the rest of it is intact in all its overdone glory; friendly reminder that he used to be the goddamn Pope, he supposes. That said, he does seem highly aware that this thing is completely dumb and he's decided to just own it; his hair is tied back as it always is, though it seems to have undergone a color change since you last saw him.]

It is absolutely dreadful.

[He sounds amused, in a way that he usually doesn't.]

Come in, though. It was good of you to come.

04/02

[armati]

[So it's the middle of the goddamn night when the texts start coming in; hopefully you're not asleep because your phone is about to get extremely annoying.]

Shigure are you still awake
I need to talk to you something is going on
normally wouldn't text but can't talk on the phone
please respond if you're still awake
sorry for doing this so late
if you get this tomorrow morning I've probably handled it by then
but I don't know who else to contact about this

[morgrim]

[Shigure's usually up late, but even he's not up this late and so the stream of texts get an annoyed sound out of him before he sits up to look at them. It doesn't take long before he's wide awake and texting back.]

what happened are you okay?

[armati]

yes I'm all right
at least I think I'm all right
I'm all right for now I'm not hurt or anything

[morgrim]

okay that's good that's the most important thing
what happened? where are you?

[armati]

I'm in my apartment
there's someone here
I don't know who they are I don't recognize them at all
