001. [ video ]
Name: Louis
Date: August 9
Format: Video
[ The video comes on and Louis is front and center. He got a grasp on the technology pretty quickly. He's... annoyed, and he's not good at hiding it, either. His tone is just as annoyed. Like. He can't believe he has to go over this. ]
So, since this is the best way to get the message out from what I can tell, and I'm sick of repeating myself, so I'll only say this once.
[ Pause. He has a long pause between each of the words. ]
I.
Am.
Not.
A.
Monster.
[ He lifts the camera up to get a full view of his head, to get a good shot at every angle. ]
I am just a deer. I arrived here like this.
[ Frown. ]
Any questions?

Connecting with another person, no matter how briefly, is truly an odd experience, but not a bad one.
Instantly, he feels free enough to tease a little, laying on the sarcasm not to make light of everything they've been talking about, but just to prove that returning to lighter topics is still possible.]
... Any other signs you need?
no subject
[ He has an easy time making light of the entire situation despite it. It was easy for him to talk about, easier than it should be. ]
What about you, huh?
no subject
That question isn't as easy as it should be. He wants to come out and say something too, but the first thing that comes to mind involves an actual insecurity of his, so he has to backpedal from that in self-protection. His second idea is much better.]
... Grooming is good personal hygiene.
no subject
I think we need that sign on more than just you. Especially since some people will be new to...well, the whole...
[ Points to his face ]
Fur thing.
no subject
[He's tried to educate people, but that didn't exactly go well. That said... it hadn't been a terrible time. Turns out grooming others is pretty nice.]
They always freak out when they see you licking yourself, too.
[... Yeah, that -... That is the main reason things never went as they should, when he tried to tell people about grooming. They always see it as inherently sexual.
Imagine people thinking you're fapping when you're just trying to wash your face!]
no subject
[ He'll help where he can. Show them how to take care of themselves when managing things that they couldn't before. ]
I enjoy showers, personally.
[ But there's a shrug, because obviously he couldn't care either way. ]
no subject
[Et tu, Brute?! Well, maybe it's just a cat thing, after all. Even if it is, that doesn't mean Konoe is the weird one, here! He's a cat doing cat things. It only makes sense.]
Showers are not bad, I guess...
no subject
[ At least the big cats he's met... ]
Well, not everyone has to like them. Who cares as long as you're clean.
no subject
[For cats; for him, a small-town cat. It's probably not as much of an issue in the big city, where territory isn't something a cat can worry about, but where Konoe grew up, it was everything.
He didn't care much about the idea of territory, himself. But territory was still important for collecting food, and when every other cat wanted to try picking a fight with him over it, he couldn't help a certain amount of investment.]
... But I take a bath sometimes. When I get dirty.
