Kitty Room (SFW&NSFW)

[biscuit_krueger]

 Bisky carefully lifted the girl onto her back and walked out of the beach room. Her arms securing the child’s legs. As she left the room her clothes seemed to snap back onto her as swiftly as they had left. She walked carefully whispering reassurances to Alluka as she went. Until she saw the door the girl spoke of. The door was open and she could her the soft meows of cats.

She entered the room, at first not noticing the ears and tail that appeared on her. Here we go, Alluka. This is a nice little safe space. Warm and cozy.

[Alluka's dress appeared beneath the towels, making her feel more covered. Alluka was relieved when they finally got back to her safe room. She climbed off of Bisky and stepped further into the room, about to sit down on a beanbag when she spots a pink and red gift box addressed to her.]

It says my name on it..?

[She kneels down and sheds off her sandy towels on the floor, then opens up the gift box. Inside, a glass tube of some kind with silvervine in the bowl next to a lighter. Alluka wonders who left this here. Could it have been Killua?

She pulls out the items.]

What am I supposed to to with these..?

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky spots the items and her brow furrows, puckering her lips slightly. Well…the glass thing is a bong. Used for things like marijuana…but that doesn’t look…like…

She trails off as she notices the pair of ears on the girls head. Uh…where did those come from?

[awuka]

[The sweet aroma of silvervine permeates her nostrils, weakening her chilly feelings. Alluka holds it up to her nose and takes a good, long sniff.

She's only distracted by Bisky gawking at her ears. Her ears twitch and her tail sways back and forth.]

It's the kitty room! It makes you a kitty! Your ears are really pretty, hehe.

[Looking down at the bong, Alluka realizes something.]

Am I supposed to light this on fire?

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky reaches atop her head and feels the new fluffy bears on top. Her fingers brushing against them causes them to flinch.

I…okay..Bisky lowers herself to her hands and knees and crawls over to Alluka curious.

Well..yes these are used for lighting. The scent of the silvervine reaching her nose causing slight distraction.

I guess…whoever put that there..wants it to be lit.

[awuka]

[Alluka puts the lighter up to it and tries to light it, but fails because of the child proof mechanism. Frustrated, she keeps pressing the button.]

Mama and papa never let me use theeese.. I dunno how to make it work, Bisky! Light it for me, please?

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky sighs. Okay okay. I’ll see if I can figure it out. I have a feeling it will help you relax.

”It doesn’t look like any drugs I’m aware of but the cats around seem to like it…does this room make us like things as a cat does?” She wonders as she starts to fiddle with it.

She finally gets it working, lighting it causing smoke to slowly build in the pipe. There we are.

[awuka]

[Watching the smoke build and billow out the top, Alluka suddenly feels compelled to...eat it? To catch it so it doesn't dissipate. She puts her mouth on the rim and sucks in the smoke. Then, realizing she can't swallow it, she pulls back and blows it out, coughing uncontrollably.]

Uuugh~ [But she feels an intense rush of euphoria sweep over her. Satisfied, she hands the bong back to Bisky so she can try.]

[biscuit_krueger]

She looked at the bong confused and imitated Alluka. Breathing in the smoke much easier before slowly letting it flow through her nose. A strong wave of calm euphoria washing over her.

Now I see why morel Carries around that pipe…She was feeling positively blissful.

[awuka]

Is Morel a friend of yours? [She asks. Her voice is noticeably more sluggish. She suddenly feels really cuddly, so she heads over to a beanbag and plops down. A calico kitten wriggles up into her arms. Exhausted from being captured, she has a hard time keeping her eyes open.]

I think I wanna sleep now..

[biscuit_krueger]

Then sleep, I’ll be right here..Bisky was feeling the same sense of tiredness. She crawls over next to Alluka, sitting in the same chair.

She hugged the small girl gently as she dozed off in the warm comfort of the room.

[devil_or_angle]

*killua returns to the cat room after hanging out with gon and is alarmed when his kitty nose picks up a new scent. alluka's is there too, and he steps over some discarded towels, following it to one of the beanbags where he finds her entangled with the intruder. it appears to be another little girl with golden hair and ears, both of them passed out cold and stinking of silvervine. she doesn't seem to be in any danger, but his heart hammers in his throat nonetheless, overprotective he is of his little sister.*

hey.

*he hisses as he leans over and taps the other girl's shoulder, trying to rouse her without waking alluka.*

hey, what are you doing here?

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky rouses slightly. Her ear twitching in the direction of the voice. One of her eyes opens slowly, the heavy drowsiness of the herbs lingering in her system.

Oh…hello, Killua..She yawns. About time I’ve seen you. Your poor sister had a rough time.

[awuka]

[Still basking on the beanbag, Alluka shifts against Bisky's touch. She's utterly glued to her seat, still stoned after just a little bit of sleep. However, a yawn stirs her from her catnip coma, her eyes opening drowsily to see Killua.]

Oniichan..! I missed you!

[devil_or_angle]

*killua sputters at the stranger's greeting, tail puffed up in alarm.*

wha-- how do you know me? and what do you mean a rough time?

*he looks at alluka, who appears nothing but sleepy and satiated from the effects of the silervine she must have consumed, and wonders what on earth could have happened to her.*

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky side looks alluka and carefully stands, slightly unsteady. She pulls Killua to the side out of earshot of Alluka.

Did you know about the creature in the beach room? That..thing violated her! She pinches her nose. And judging by the look on your face and tail, you haven’t met me yet before.

You’re lucky I was with her in either case. I’m worried the kind of effect it will have on that child.

[awuka]

[Alluka regards her with Killua over her shoulder
with fear. Could they have been talking about her body? Alluka gets up slowly, making a stop gesture with her hands.]

Please don't talk about it.. I'm okay, I promise. Oniichan shouldn't have to worry about it, it's stupid..

[devil_or_angle]

*at the mention of the creature, the floor opens up beneath killua, his whole world turning upside down to toss him into it. he hadn’t told alluka about what it had done to him and gon, not wanting to worry her either, and hearing that it had now done the same to her wrings his insides with guilt and rage. hearing alluka try to reassure him, he can’t help but snap.*

shouldn’t have to worry? of course i should! i should — i should have been there!

*hair and fur standing on end, his claws extend and his pupils narrow into dark, angry slits.*

you stay here. i’m going to go kill that thing.

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky places her hands on her hips. You’re a bit too late for that. It’s already dead. I took care of it myself.

From what I can see you don’t have any Nen either so, you wouldn’t have stood a chance against it either.

You also didn’t answer my question. Did you know, or did you not? Her gaze glances over to the girl and back to Killua. “If he knew and didn’t tell Alluka, I’ll just have to teach him a lesson.” She thought irritated.

[awuka]

[Sensing the familiar feeling of her sibling's bloodlust, little tears fall down Alluka's cheeks. She sniffles, scared, wondering if it's her fault he's like this. Maybe if she hadn't wandered into the sea, Oniichan wouldn't be so mad right now..

She's about to tell him it's dead when bisky does that for him. Caught between the two of them, Alluka feels frazzled.]

[devil_or_angle]

*all the fire drains out of killua at bisky’s words, leaving his heart hollow and broken. his dull gaze moves from bisky’s judgemental glare to alluka’s tearful face and he shudders with remorse.*

i… never thought she’d go without me…

*he feels incredibly helpless, wishing he could have at least been the one who killed the monster to make up for leaving his sister unguarded. but apparently he wouldn’t have been able to do that anyway, not without nen. he couldn’t save gon from it, and he couldn’t save alluka from it either.*

…i really am no use to anyone.

*slowly he trudges over to alluka and wraps his arms around her shaking shoulders, despondent.*

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky hangs her head and sighs. Stupid kid. If she’s anything like you and Gon, of course she was gonna go in!

What’s more tempting to a kid than a beach? Sand and sun when stuck on an airship?

No use to others, I’ve never heard you say something so pathetic. She berates him not caring about his current mood. If you feel that way stop moping and do something about it!

[awuka]

[Alluka wraps her arms around a distressed Killua in an embrace, wanting to comfort him.]

Oniichan, it's not your fault! You didn't know I found the beach room.. I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was going there..

[Bisky's snide lecturing to her obviously ailing brother makes her very angry. Her ears flatten back, and she hisses, her tail whipping back and forth behind her in annoyance. For the first time, her claws have come out.] Hey! [She snaps through sniffles,] Don't be mean to him! You're not allowed to!

[devil_or_angle]

*the girl’s words stab him in his turned back like a flurry of knives, one after another. he’s disgruntled, offended, ashamed, and miserable all at once, even moreso when alluka comes to his defense. he shouldn’t have to hide behind his little sister, or some random girl who couldn’t be older than her. his hands come to cup alluka’s tearful, angry face, petting her flattened ears to calm her down.*

no. she’s right.

*he turns back to the girl, his gloomy aura replaced with one of fierce resolve.*

who are you? and what do you know about nen?

*his mind is made up. he has to get stronger so he can protect alluka.*

i need to learn how to use it.

[biscuit_krueger]

That’s more like it! She says with an easy smile rising to her face.

My name is Biscuit Krueger! I learned nen nearly 40 years ago. I will teach you just as I taught you and Gon on greed island.

[awuka]

[Killua's petting manages to get her to sheathe her claws again, not even realizing they were out. Surprised, she looks at her hands, the proof of their existence all but erased.

Alluka's ears perk up at the words "40 years ago" and she looks at Bisky strangely, blinking her eyes in disbelief.]

....Huh?? What do you mean? I thought you were our age..?

[devil_or_angle]

*killua’s eyes narrow into a confused glare.*

wait… 40 years ago? you’re no kid, you’re an old hag!

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky doesn’t hesitate to hit Killua on the top of his head with her fist. Want to say that again you little brat? She asked through clenched teeth.

Say that again and I’ll knock you out the window!

She smoothes herself out taking a deep breath looking to Alluka. In my defense you never asked. I simply like to look as youthful as I feel.

[awuka]

[Alluka watches in distress as they fight, wanting to say something without irritating either of them. She's only given a chance to talk when Bisky directs at her.]

W-well, it's really cool you managed to do that while looking so pretty..but STOP hitting him. He's just a little rude sometimes..I'm sorry.

[devil_or_angle]

*killua winces as her fist smashes into his skull with way more force than her tiny frame should be able to muster. head throbbing, he glares at her with painful tears in his eyes.*

well if nen can make you look like this, it’s gotta be powerful. you said you taught me in the future?

[biscuit_krueger]

She narrows her eyes at him before crossing her arms. I’ll take that as a compliment..

Nen is capable of many things. Depending on where you fall in your category and what kind of ability you develop. I taught both of you. Technically you learned the basics from one of my students.

Currently I’m drilling Gon in the basics as well as some more..advanced teachings as he progresses rather quickly due to being an enhancer.

If I had to guess your category is still the same as I know it.

[awuka]

[There Goes Bisky, with all that jargon she couldn't understand. Still sleepy, Alluka doesn't bother trying to get it. This journey was for her big brother to go on. She probably wouldn't be good at Nen, she tells herself.

She returns to the beanbag and yawns, curling up with her tail coiled around her as she watches them.]

Whatever you guys do, remember you're in a room full of fragile little kitties, okay?

[devil_or_angle]

*most of this is still a bit hard to follow, but killua listens attentively and tries to absorb as much as he can, nodding his aching head. he glances over at alluka as she wanders off, heeding her warning.*

of course. when can we start?

[biscuit_krueger]

She hums. I suppose you could come by my cabin at some point and train along side Gon. Getting your nen awoken is the first step.

She looks around the room. Shes right. This definitely isn’t the place for it. I’d probably go into hibernation if I stayed too long in here.

[awuka]

Hibernation covered in kitties... sounds heavenly.

[She picks up Charlotte, the calico, and pulls her in her arms while she watches them, rubbing her face against the purring kitten's.]

Are you guys gonna go, then? [There's a tinge of sadness in her voice like she'll miss the two of them.]

[devil_or_angle]

*killua’s gaze softens as it settles on alluka, cuddling forlornly with one of the room’s cats. the resolve he’d gathered doesn’t waver, but sets itself temporarily aside for something even more important.*

no, not yet.

*ears folding back, he moves to join her on the beanbag, heart still heavy with guilt over what must have happened to her in the beach room.*

i won’t leave until i’m sure you’re okay. biscuit, i can meet you at your cabin later.

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky smiles and nods. Then we will meet there. For now I’m going to see about some fresh air.

She walks to the door looking back at the pair. No more hiding things from the other got it? Don’t want a repeat of what happened.

She then leaves and makes her way down the hall.

[awuka]

Bye-bye, Bisky! Thank you for saving me!

[She moves closer to Killua and lays against him, putting her head on his shoulder. Charlotte crawls from her arms to Killua's, mewing in her little voice. It seems like Charlotte likes him just as much as Alluka does.]

So the same thing happened to you, big brother?

[devil_or_angle]

*after waving biscuit off, killua leans into alluka with a sigh, wrapping an arm around her back to hug her close. he scratches the cat in his lap idly, looking guiltily down at it as he speaks.*

yeah, to me and gon. i didn’t tell you because i didn’t want you to worry about us…

[awuka]

[At the news, Alluka pulls him in a tight hug, devastated that something so awful could happen to Killua.]

I'm so sorry, Oniichan..you don't deserve that. The monster, it... [Her voice goes low into a whisper.] It exposed me to Bisky.. s-she didn't say anything about it, but I could feel her eyes...

[devil_or_angle]

*killua gulps, remembering how the monster had left him with a conspicuous boner that, at the time, he had wanted to hide from gon. the shame that had coursed through him... he can only imagine how violated she felt, having her private parts put on display against her will. he rubs her back soothingly as he speaks.*

i’m sure biscuit didn’t mind… you’re both girls, anyway. but it’s okay to feel bad about it. you should never have to show anyone any part of yourself that you don’t want to. that’s for you to decide.

[awuka]

[You're both girls, anyway. It was true, but Alluka had a hard time revolting against the lack of self worth the Zoldycks imbued in her. She knew she wasn't the same as other girls, and it all boiled down to her parts.. Sometimes, she earnestly felt like a boy and a monster. At least Killua fully understood, or at least she assumed he still did.]

I wish I had the choice..I'm so embarrassed. I'm surprised she still cuddled me afterward, I just want to disappear..

[devil_or_angle]

*distraught to see her so traumatized, killua's voice breaks when he speaks.*

i'm so sorry it was taken from you...

*he pulls her to his chest, pressing her face into the front of his shirt so she can draw comfort from his heartbeat, even as it pounds with the guilt of not being able to prevent her pain. his hand rubs circles into her back, coaxing her to let her feelings out in words or tears, whatever she needs to do.*

we all just want you to be okay.

[awuka]

[Alluka feels a little guilty for bringing so much worry to her oniichan. The way his voice chokes up in her ear is heartwrenching. But the way he consoles her has her leaning on him for comfort, willing to confide in him.

I..I was so afraid that she'd think I'm just a weird, creepy... [A weird, creepy boy. but she can't bring herself to say it. The word changes into another.] m-monster. A-and..she would be afraid of me.

[devil_or_angle]

*killua’s heart aches at hearing her put herself down like this. he nuzzles his face affectionately in her hair, determined to prove her wrong.*

there’s nothing weird or creepy about you. you’re just you.

*he hugs her tighter in a protective embrace.*

the real monster is the one who made you feel like this.

[awuka]

Thank you, Oniichan.. I always feel so comfortable around you because I can just be me. It means a lot, really..

[Her tears soon dry up, but she's still sniffling.]

I was told I'd never be a good enough g-girl..and that I should just give up. Oniichan, do I make a good girl?

[devil_or_angle]

you are a good girl.

*he says it with fierce determination, pulling her back so he can look her in the eyes and prove how serious he is.*

actually, you’re the best girl there ever was.

*he can’t keep from flashing her a teary-eyed smile as he doubles down, trying his best to cheer her up with love and praise.*

that’s a fact.

[awuka]

[Gazing up into Killua's sapphire eyes, it's as if they pierced straight through to her beating heart. Her mouth slowly melts into a smile and she can't help but look content, like a rainbow over a lush meadow after spring showers. Her cheeks, like pink petals, are brushed with dew that's still drying.]

Am I really? If you're the one saying it, I can't help but believe it.. Did Oniichan know he was also the best boy too? And that the best boy gets..one of these for always making me feel better! ♡

[She cranes her neck up to steal a kiss from him.]

[devil_or_angle]

*killua watches her melt in his arms like putty, heart fluttering with the joy of being able to chase her tears away even in the worst of circumstances. he kisses her softly back, tasting the silvervine on her breath, and keeps their faces smushed together afterwards to bat his own damp eyelashes against hers.*

i’ll make sure no one ever makes you feel like that again. i promise.
