[A few days after the Branch incident....]

[Puss could have done this via the watch, but he's a classy kitty.

This team is going to need unity. Teamwork. Togetherness. And Puss knows just the thing that will help.

Every single person at the North pole will find an invite slipped under their door, or otherwise placed near their living quarters...]

[The front feels like velvet and the "P" is covered in gold glitter. It's really fancy, the yetis outdid themselves. Now, time for the preparations. It won't be the same if he's not destroying an oppressive villain's mansion while he does it, but that's not the point this time, and he can still throw quite the bash.]

((OOC: Go ahead and use this post as a party-related inbox! Video, text, or track Puss down in person!))

Ahh, what do you learn from training with someone? Their footwork, their sword styles, their powers, magic, nothing you can't learn while surrounded by foes. But! When it's two in the morning and you have 11 mugs of milk between you after a night of dancing and the music goes low and slow and moves your compadre to tears, what do you learn? Everything that's important!

[Puss takes a look at those tired eyes and allows himself to feel sympathy. Miguel is a pill, but perhaps he didn't come by it on his own.]

Why did I...?

[Puss smiles. He's still learning how to reach out, but he's pretty sure this is an opening.]

I told you back when we first met: I've been where you are. Not exactly like you, perhaps, but I have been...alone. Exhausted. Feeling the weight of my burdens on my back. I was lucky to meet the friends who brought me out of it, but luck...she's fickle, no? I just thought I might pay it forward.

[Well...? Did that do anything for Miguel...?]

[ninjavampire]

Hm.

[ Well, he doesn't reject the hand of sympathy. There's a short silence while he digests all that, albeit with a dour expression his face. Something seems to be sinking in. It felt weird to be...included? Granted, much of his isolation is self-imposed, but being a humorless black sheep also made it harder. ]

I would think all the loud music would be annoying for a cat.

[ he is not saying no...! ]

[favoritefearlesshero]

[Puss knows a not-no when he hears it! That's a victory of a kind, even if he hasn't budged the scowl on Miguel's face.]

For most cats, perhaps. But Puss in Boots is not most cats! After all, what kind of party isn't as raucous as possible?

...Though that reminds me: I should find some ear plugs for Nyara and Elle.

[ninjavampire]

[ Well, that is considerate of you, Puss. He holds his chin thoughtfully. ]

Yes. Some ear plugs would be good.

[ he could drop by if there were ear plugs. and maybe if he found some shades, too. That sounds... potentially enjoyable, instead of a migraine waiting to happen. ]

A short visit won't hurt, I suppose.
