>B2 and C-453Y to Bond with Sunshine. Send in the C L U W N E.
Employee B2 tries his absolute best to put on an award winning smile. The forced smile sticks while he gets close to the cell, the D-Class trailing right behind him.
<span class="mu-i">A spicy smell? What is that foul scent? Eugh!</span>
<span class="mu-i">Cookies, cookies, let me handle it.</span>
<span class="mu-r">The feline instantly arches its back when it sees the two employees approaching.</span>
<span class="mu-b">Employee B2 hasn't changed his posture or expression since he's entered.</span>
D-C453Y tries her best but <span class="mu-b">her smile wavers.</span>
B2: OYELO, OYELO! DO NOT BE MAD, GATTO, GATTO!
ANOMALY-A: I'm NOT talking to visitors at this time. Would you kindly send this... being off?
ANOMALY-B: It is an interesting abnormality. Perhaps studying it would not hurt.
B2: YES, TUMOR OF THE FELINE VARIETY. I WISH TO STUDY YOU TOO!
B2: YOU ARE VERY, VERY INTERESTING!!!
The tumor opens and closes its mouth before looking towards the feline.
<span class="mu-b">Both of them are completely speechless. Neither of them know how to respond at first.</span>
<span class="mu-i">THIS IS JUST-</span>
<span class="mu-i">Let's just listen and-</span>
B2: HELNO? DID MY PRESENCE OFFEND YOU? I DO APOLOGIZE, HONK HONK!
C45: WOULD A SILLY DANCE HELP IMPROVE YOUR M-
ANOMALY-B: What do you want? Is it to punish us for the hostess defending herself?
The feline begins clawing red stripes into the tumor's side. <span class="mu-b">It hardly seems to notice nor care.</span>
ANOMALY-B: Yes, yes, I know. Do not be so hasty, hostess.
ANOMALY-A: This talk is pointless! You know it and I will have no part of this.
B2: WHY ARE YOU SO PROTECTIVE OF YOUR HOSTESS, HMMM?
C45: VERY, VERY WEIRD! FOR SUCH A BIZARRE, QUIRKY LITTLE TUMOR AS YOURSELF!
The tumor's laugh drizzles out of it, warm like a freshly baked cookie.
ANOMALY-B: Why wouldn't I be? She is a perfect host, after all.
ANOMALY-B: Wouldn't you be so careful about losing your head of yours, funny man?
B2: PERHAPS. YET WHY WOULD A TUMOR CARE? WOULDN'T YOU JUST CONSUME HER?
C45: HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THE FUNNY SKIN TAG, MISS?
The feline gives up and turns its back away from Employee B2, refusing to acknowledge the conversation at hand.
The tumor shudders for a moment before continuing.
ANOMALY-B: I must apologize. She is rather ornery over the quite poor treatment she's gotten. Cookies aside.
ANOMALY-B: Why, it's hard to remember. Time flows quite a lot faster than it used to.
ANOMALY-B: <span class="mu-b">I've known her for as long as I've been around.</span> That is all I can tell you.
C45: QUAINT. WHY DOES SHE KEEP YOU ON?
B2: SURE. YOU WANT TO SURVIVE LIKE A PARASITE. BUT WHY IS SHE TOLERATING YOU? IS THE BOND BETWEEN TUMOR AND CAT...
C45: REALLY THAT GOOD TO BE PART OF?
<span class="mu-r">The feline begins to hiss, alarmingly.</span>
ANOMALY-B: Hostess, it will be fine. This clown is quite amusing, truly. Truly, truly.
ANOMALY-B: <span class="mu-b">It's a bond you would not understand, clown.</span>
B2: WHY NOT? I ENTERTAIN! I KNOW WHAT HAPPINESS IS! SO IT SURELY MUST BE HAPPINESS, NO?
