[The user's ID is undoubtedly a familiar one to some, but rather than a small white cat showing on the video there sits a pale but very human-looking male with vivid green, cat-like eyes and a red ribbon loosely slung around his neck. He gazes curious and unblinking into the camera for a moment or two before shifting in his seat, the sudden animation of his body and features looking almost deliberate.]

Good afternoon, everyone. [He begins, and he toys lightly with the ribbon and the pendant and bell hanging from it.] I'm sure that the fact I would eventually take on this kind of shape comes as a surprise to no one who knows me already.

[Mogget pauses here and clears his throat.]

I'm able to maintain it with minimal effort for around a day or so, and I think... I would enjoy putting it to use. If anyone knows of any employment opportunities that I might look into, I'd appreciate the information.

[He'll also take questions about the fact he isn't currently a cat if anyone cares to ask... but he's not going to put that one out there.]

If you're going to pick a human shape don't use it for work.

[ Mogget what is WRONG with you? ]

[themogget]

All the things you could have said, and you chose to waste my time being completely unhelpful.

[sparkofgoodness]

Exactly the opposite, I'm telling you something you need to hear. Trust me on this.

[themogget]

I'm sure there's nothing you could say that I actually need to hear. Just what makes you think I need that kind of advice?

[sparkofgoodness]

The fact that you're considering getting a job as a way of putting your human shape to use?

[themogget]

And what concern is that of yours?

[sparkofgoodness]

I'm taking a professional interest.

[themogget]

I see. And what profession is that?

[Oh no, he's cute... Too bad he probably won't suffer her flirting with him. Pity, that.]

What took you so long to try it?

[themogget]

[He's been around humans for long enough that he would recognise flirting... but she's right in her assumptions of how he might react to it. Even though Mogget has never been precisely a cat, he is also not precisely a person.]

Long? It wasn't long at all. I began working towards this the moment I arrived and have been able to take this shape for months.

[omnicrafter]

Until you decided to show anyone, then.

Also, I take it you enjoy the color white? If that part was of your choosing, I mean. Take care not to spill anything!

[themogget]

Mm... it wasn't a conscious choice. Maintaining this form is difficult enough without trying to add unnecessary colours.

While I have no employment suggestions, I would recommend perhaps not testing the memory of the apothecary with your new form.

[ There's a lightly teasing air to her tone, a smile evident even without her face being seen. ]

[themogget]

[The moment he sees her, a tiny smirk flickers across his face. Ah, if it isn't his favourite shop worker. While she chooses voice only, he continues to keep his face on the screen.]

Why is that? Do you really think he was paying enough attention to notice me?

[chaoticbeauty]

I think I've met enough alchemists and the like to never trust that their memory might run out.

[ Especially when dealing with someone who might be worn out enough to hold a grudge or two. ]

[themogget]

[Mogget grins. Despite the (mostly) human appearance of his face, his teeth are still sharp and cat-like.]

In that case, I'll have to seek the pleasure of your company elsewhere.
