[[Filtered to staff]]

Ignore the cat basket near the fire in the secondary staff room. Its occupant was injured on the grounds and took refuge in the school. The rest of its recovery should take no more than a week.

[[/filtered]]


[[Private, 60% hackable because of irritation]]

*grim, pacing the deserted staff room with the journal on a lectern nearby*

Filch has found no fallen stone or limb near the castle, but that creature couldn't have come far with a broken back. *voice rises, unconsciously trying to block out the painful sound of the animal's breathing* Its very presence here is abominable. What kind of sick sadist would abandon a hairless cat in this climate -- to say nothing of covering its thin hide with tattoos? Why hasn't anyone come for it? Does nobody care?

Someone else should have found it. It isn't my business. There could be complications -- pneumonia -- congestion -- that healer was too optimistic by half. I have work to do. This is ridiculous. Events will take their course, with or without my attention.

*vanishes through the wall toward his office; a few moments pass; slinks back in and, with a muttered curse, resumes his pacing*

[[Guess who's going to keep the cat and doesn't know it yet. XDDD]]

*hack hack hack*

There are plenty of sick sadists out in the world, Professor. Perhaps if you take that into consideration things will become clearer.

*ill-tempered glare at the journal* Oh, did you take that to mean that I was surprised? I've lived several lifetimes, boy. I have no time for illusions.


[[*sekritly rooting for L* XD! Hmm... L (being L) would probably know about Bob's evil past, right? The information would be in wizarding history, anyway.]]

Though I don't see the point of asking questions of which you know the answers. Rhetoric is getting old these days.

Has it occurred to you that maybe you should keep the animal, professor?

[ooc; He probably knows a bit. He might research more though, now that he knows him and all XD]

Ink could be spared for other words.

Well, what do you see yourself doing once it's back to normal health? Letting it go again for someone else to find, and then have them write about the sick sadist who let a tattoo-covered creature off in this climate?

Some solution will doubtless be found when the time comes. Don't fret yourself about it -- unless you're offering to take the job?

I don't have the space for one, unfortunately.

Is it really that hard to imagine a small fraction of your existence with the animal? The average lifespan of a regular indoor cat rarely exceeds twenty years.

Pity.

*winces* ..I am a ghost, Mr. Lawliet. Would you condemn him to the care of a being who cannot provide for his most basic needs -- to say nothing of physical affection -- save by proxy?

Did you know professor, that there are several uses of magic?

I have no doubts that you will come across no obstacles. Physically or mentally.

*hard glare*

Thank you for that vote of confidence -- but there are problems that magic cannot and should not solve.

This is the first I'm hearing of this animal. You found it near your office with a broken back? What was it's level of mobility?

Come now. I'm sure that you will be able to find some barely relevant material in that library of self-authored grimoires.

*not entirely sarcastic* Well, now I know how frequently you check your journal. You must be very busy indeed.

Very little, by the time I found it -- it was trying to inch itself forward with its front paws. *shudders at the memory*

*flinches*

*low, silky voice* I hardly think that enough of those still exist to be called a library. What do you know of my works, Ryuzaki?

Not as much as I should. I've thought about looking into the matter.

Has anyone seen to it? What kind of care is it getting?

Jareth was kind enough to take it to a veterinary healer, who put it on a diet of potions and supplements. It was weak and malnourished and needs to regain some strength before the bones are repaired. Otherwise... *exasperated shrug* ..here it is in the staff room. At least it's warm.
