Cole and a nonferal cat appear in the living room.
"Oh god, I'm in hell..." says the cat.
Cole giggles, "You're funny, anyways. How's being back from the dead?"
"A bit uhh...jarring?" He looks down at his arms.
"Yeah I'd figure"
"I can imagine. Gods know the couple times I've been revived weren't exactly easy to get used to," Luna says.
"Why are you purple?" The cat asks Luna, and looks to Cole, "And what happened to your face??? Where's the skin???"
Cole snickers, "Wrath demon, it's all bone and doesn't hurt."
"Sloth demon. I don't know why I turned into a purple cat." Luna says.
"Cause you're grape," Cole smiles.
"Am I a demon?!?" The cat looks at himself
"No, just a normal non-feral cat," Cole says, "Kaz, is it?"
He looks at Cole, "I believe so, yes...how do you know my name?"
"Just soul things," Cole smirks.
"Cole's um... able to do things with souls most of us aren't able to." Luna sighs.
"So uh, I must have been revived for a purpose?" Kaz asks, "What purpose am I here to serve?"
"Oh, Lock just wanted me to revive you"
"Wait really? That's nice of you." Luna adds.
"Lock?" Kaz asks.
"Well, I didn't really have a choice when they had me by the shirt collar, and yes," Cole says.
"Short, cut tail, and strange arm?"
"Robotic arm but yeah"
"Yes...uh, when might the time be?"
Luna looks at her watch. "10:28pm"
"5/18/2022," Cole says.
"It's June 14, 2022." Luna says.
"What?" Cole asks.
"It's June 14, 2022." Luna shows him her laptop, it says 10:28PM 6/14/2022 in the bottom right corner
"That's not possible," Cole pulls his phone out and shows it to Luna, it's a google pixel 3 with a date that reads 10:29pm 5/18/2022.
"Your clock is wrong then."
Kaz snickers at the conversation. He has a gold tooth.
"No, I remember it being May vividly"
"Why do you think it's May so vividly?"
"Because it is?"
"Hang on, lemme check on something. Maybe I'm wrong." Luna looks a bit worried, but keeps it hidden from Cole. Kaz waits politely. "Hm. Oh shoot, Nammu tweeted, one sec." This is an excuse from someone who works with way too many worlds. "Cole, do you know how Terminal's doing?"
"He is doing fine? Why would you ask?"
"Because you're in the wrong timeline." Luna frowns.
"Hmm?" Cole checks his wrist like a watch, "Oh shit, my bad." Cole swaps to his human form and a blue aura surrounds him as he disappears.
"Wow." Luna says, "So, um... things like this happen a lot Kaz, welcome to [the kiss]"
Kaz's eyebrows raise ever so slightly. Luna is struggling to make small talk.
Cole appears covered in a blue aura as he groans, "This is the worst timeline and I know it for a fact," Cole swaps to his wrath form and the blue aura fades.
"Welcome back? What date is it Cole." Luna asks, looking at her computer. She mutters, "Oooh skip cipher, one we don't use often."
"6 14 2022 10:46pm"
"Much better."
"I was having fun, too!"
"Like what? lemme guess, oh yanno."
"Well if yanno was playing catch with Terminal, then yeah."
"Oh." Luna says. "So um... that happened."
"Yeah, so anyways," Cole sits down next to the couch, "Cats am I right?"
"I like them." Luna says.
"Mhm that's what I figured, I dislike feral cats," Cole says.
"Eh, to each their own. I personally love cats of all kinds." She says while Kaz is just standing there... oops.
"Dogs are much more fun"
"Eh. I've always preferred just having the presence of someone in my place."
"I just don't wanna be alone," Cole mutters, "Anyways Kaz, Lock is outside or whatever"
"Probably in her favorite tree. Which tree that one is, I have no idea." Luna smiles.
"You will know"
"Oh uh thank you sir," Kaz heads to the front door and outside. Lock is gone.
