WHO: Mae Borowski and the network
WHERE: Her apartment
WHEN: 6/22, a few days after her labyrinth
WHAT: A small crimes cat arrival
WARNINGS: None yet but I'll update as stuff comes up. Maybe Night in the Woods spoilers?

[When you go to check the network, you'll find a pair of large red eyes staring back at you. Those eyes seem like they belong to a black cat, dressed in an odd shirt.]

Very cool of this place to dump me in some city I've never been to before while I was in some weird dream? The dreams I'm not supposed to be having because God or something said that he wasn't going to let me have them anymore??

[... What.]

Uh hi! I'm Mae!

...

Doooooesss anyone know which bus goes to Possum Springs? Like don't think I don't appreciate getting a free apartment and all, but I don't really have any money to do anything here and I just want to go home.

I don't think I ever heard of those names before but if I see anyone that looks like you, I'll let you know!

{After all, it wasn't that difficult to find a talking black cat!]

But I won't. I don't think my family would like it! And with a lot of things going on, I don't think it's a good idea to go out in the middle of the city either.

Thanks little dude. Appreciate it.

And good. I don’t wanna end up finding you on the news or something.

Don't worry, I won't! My mom always told me not to talk to strangers or go to places where it's dangerous.

[Pause]

But I don't think you're a stranger and I know the places here well. So it should be okay.

That's good that you know stranger danger.

And yeah! We're like, totally buds now. [MAE YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN THIS CHILD FOR A FEW MINUTES] You know how to reach me on this thing right? In case something happens and you need help?

Mhmm, I do! I just need to look for someone named Mae and that should be you, right?

[Although, now that he thought about it?]

And I think you're the only talking cat here too?

The only talking cat person named Mae around I think! You can hit me up for anything! I literally do nothing all day.

Nothing at all? Don't you get bored when you don't do anything?

Nah, I just take a nap when I get bored.

I’ll tell you a little secret that no one else is going to tell you about adulthood: naps only get more amazing when you get older.

[And a way to cope with anxiety! Like she’s doing!]

Really? I take naps sometimes and it makes me feel happier. But I didn't know it's the same for adults.

[On that note?]

I always thought adults didn't need it because of all the coffee they drink.

It's absolutely the same for adults. We love naps.

[Well, she supposes the adults who have it together more probably don't need to nap as much BUT]

I think coffee is one of those drinks you drink because you have responsibilities you need to stay awake for. Not really a coffee drinker so I wouldn't know.

I wonder what would happen if kids drank it. I heard that it makes you really hyper and it makes them do really silly things.

[Pause]

Or at least, that's what I heard from the adults.

Well we could always find out. I can make coffee and you just bring the kid-ness!

[Mae don’t offer a 5-year-old coffee plz]

Can we do that?

[Then suddenly in a low voice?]

Wouldn't people get mad if you gave me coffee?

Why? It’s not like I’m giving you beer.

Ugh. You said you had two families, right? I guess I wouldn’t want two groups of people beating the shhhhhhh-[wow swearing in front of a small child]-stuff outta me if I gave you something they didn’t want you to drink.

[And it's a good thing because all he'll hear are bleeps coming from his end!]

I don't think they would! They'll probably talk to you and wonder why you want to give me coffee. I can't imagine anyone from my families would ever want to hurt you!

[Especially to an adorable talking cat!]

[She's not sure about that. She's had plenty of people threaten to knock out her teeth before and mean it.]

I dunno kiddo people get weird about that kind of stuff. But hey that's not like a bad thing? You've got your own defense squad. Or at least, they should be your defense squad.

Huh?

But I don't want them to hurt people! Even if they are helping me, I don't want them to start a fight because of me.

[Mae would normally argue that it's good to have a fighter on your side, but she can tell this kid is sweet and doesn't want that.]

Eh, I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about. If your families are as nice as you say they are, then I don't think you gotta worry about them starting any fights.

I know but if they start making you feel sad, let me know! Maybe I can talk to them and we can think of something!

[Because there will be no fighting under Antonio's watch!]

Will do! Maybe I will end up meeting your family and show them my amazingly cool personality!

Maybe you will! Because I think you're pretty cool already!

[Awwww...]

You know what? If they're as half as cool as you are, I think we'll get along pretty well.

I hope so! I want my family to befriend as many people as they can here. Even if my other one doesn't know who you are, I still want you to see them.

[...For better and for worse.] It would make everyone happier, right?

Well I can certainly do that!

... After you tell me who they are!

Let's see...

There is a lot so you need to know them! I think their names are Bruno, Camilo, Mirabel, Luisa, and Julieta!

[Pause] There is one more and her name is Pepa.
