This is Louis. Good evening. Or good day, if you're attempting to reach me during my scheduled rest. Please leave a message, and I will get back to you once I've regained consciousness.

[ He can't decide if it's funny or endearing, if he's laughing at the meme or the fact that Louis is the one sending it to him. And he also can't decide if it's weird or not that while it's incredibly endearing to teach and see the product of your teaching in such quick succession, it's also weirdly sexy??? ]

holy shit
perfect, you're a natural

now search cat memes and show me your favourite one
catting: (i wanna skin you with my tongue)

take your time, i'm not sleeping any time soon..

do you wanna meet up? i figure the "it's 2am" of it all won't matter to you
catting: (and i'm a damn good lover)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-25 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)

goddddddddddddddddd, louis, you are so fucking cute sometimes

who cares if you're doing it right, keep doing what you're doing, it's driving me crazy


[ And then, a mere handful of moments later, a polite little knock on Louis' door. ]

ding dong :3
catting: (give my slow heart)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-27 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
Why, thank you~

[ He purrs, stepping inside. Tonight he's dressed in a plain leather jacket over a velvety little slip dress that looks more like a nightgown than clothes one should be wearing outside, but he's paired it with semi-opaque stockings and big combat boots to make it look a little more appropriate. His hair is slicked back into neat little finger waves — like it had been at the ball, but without the pearls — and curls delicately around his ears, where the pearl earring he'd also worn at the ball still hangs from the lobe of his left one. Evidently, even though the ball itself was a bit of a bust, he's at least obtained a few staples he found playing dress up. ]

Mm, that makes me think. If I ever invite you over to my place, do I have to make some grand announcement so you can cross the threshold? Or is intention enough to let you inside? I never know which movies have it right.
catting: (i hope you feed me)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-28 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, so the stories are all bullshit then? You're welcome in my Kingdom any time, the door is basically always open since I don't often wear pajamas. You're pretty lucky I didn't just show up here naked.

[ The Cat King says, stalking his way inside like a panther, shedding the jacket to reveal the low back of the dress and the little spaghetti straps keeping the fabric on his shoulders. He dumps it unceremoniously onto whatever piece of furniture is closest, and turns to survey Louis with a knowing smile. He caught the inflection in his voice, after all. ]

I know people who look like I do don't wear dresses much in 1985, but give it forty years or so, and you'll be surprised what strides fashion will take.
catting: (the daylight holds you close)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-31 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, a little. But I'm not offended.

[ The Cat, being a Cat, glances at Louis' little gesture and clearly understands it, and then does the complete opposite. He parks his ass instead on the coffee table directly in front of Louis, crossing his legs as he leans back, supported by his arms. ]

And I'm not saying this is commonplace where I come from, it's definitely still considered weird that I walk around looking like a man while wearing skirts and dresses, but I like the way they feel just as much as I enjoy something more stereotypically masculine.

[ He tilts his head, however, clearly intrigued. ]

So, is this you telling me you're not into femininity?
catting: (if you could have it all)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-31 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The Cat smirks through Louis' explanation, reasoning that he's got a good point when it comes to his victims. That would be like refusing a steak because the cow in question just so happened to enjoy the grass on the left side of the barn rather than the right. Foolish, a waste of time. But they're not talking about food, now, are they? The Cat had asked, in a roundabout way, what Louis' preference was in partners — and he already knows he has a boyfriend, so he's got a good idea, but he's always curious about the specifics. Especially with a creature like Louis, where all his thoughts seem so complex and well thought out and yet so easily pondered and expanded and explored. ]

Mmhm, that makes sense.

[ Honestly he hadn't expected any different, but he also wonders if the preference comes from experience, or something else. Has Louis ever felt the touch of a woman!!!!!!!! ]

And, for the record, cats don't have a preference, no... but that isn't why I don't. I have human cognisance they don't. I've lived in the human world in a way most cats haven't. I've seen trends change and people decide what's good and bad, what's in and out, what's for girls and what's for boys... I just don't care.

[ He dusts one hand over the hem of his dress, idly. ]

But at least I know not to turn up here next time with a pair of tits or anything. [ He mimes wiping sweat from his brow, as if he'd been considering it. ] Phew.
catting: (i'd do anything to touch you)

[personal profile] catting 2026-01-31 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That. Is not the reaction of a man who has a sole preference for men, which lends more credit to the Cat's idea that Louis' preference might simply come from that being all he really knows. He's not about to insult him by insinuating that, but there's the growing seed of something starting to take root in the Cat's mind. He crosses his legs, recrosses them, tilting his head in thought. ]

Don't worry about it. I'm not offended by people not knowing any better. And it's hard to know anything about a mysterious creature like me.

[ Except everything Louis saw in his head, of course. The fact he's seen Edwin. That still lingers in the back of the Cat's mind when he looks at the other man. Does he see him differently, knowing there's someone he carries around in his heart like that? ]

So, does that mean vampire kind in your world stop thinking in binaries and start seeing the fluidity of the world? Or do you just stop caring what movies and books were rated the highest and read whatever you want? [ He asks, mostly joking, but his grin turns sharp as he settles in for his next question. ] Because I've gathered you'd still wanna bite me if I looked more feminine, but I'm curious if you'd still want to get to know me. At my core I'm neither male nor female, I just exist in whatever shape I want to given the day. Or, at least, that's how I normally operate when I have all my power.
catting: (you'll never meet another me)

[personal profile] catting 2026-02-01 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
And yet, here we are.

[ The Cat grins, because of all the things he could call them, friends is probably the closest one that won't make it seem seedy. After all, he could just as happily hang out with Louis and not fuck him as he could the opposite..... but, does Louis know that? He had kind of come here with feeding him in mind, which he's still more than willing to do, but that's not necessarily the only reason he's here. ]

Maybe some day we can test that theory. See if I taste different in a different form. I could be a nice pretty blonde for you. We could have attended the ball together in each other's arms. Might've been more entertaining to play a part like that.
catting: (-0-0-0-0-)

[personal profile] catting 2026-02-01 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, it's more... I need as much information as possible when I shift, right? If I don't get a good look at someone, I can only shift into what I've seen. So, I can look like a photo, but I might get the back of the head wrong, or the shape of the legs, or the hands. The blood, if I don't know it's different, would probably be the same as it is when it's just me, unless I'd already tasted or sensed a difference somehow.

[ He slips into quiet consideration for a moment, then shrugs. ]

At least that's how I think it works. Cat Kings aren't exactly the most interlocked bunch. We don't really talk amongst Kingdoms, not about our existence at least, and the whole forgetting past lives thing makes it kind of difficult to be a hundred percent sure about things like that.

[ He grins, then nudges Louis' long legs with the toe of his boot. ]

Besides, I already know what my own blood tastes like. I've died before, remember?
catting: (don't you know that i want you so bad?)

[personal profile] catting 2026-02-02 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Fuck.

[ The Cat King raises a hand to his face, sharp fingers wiping confidently at his eyes, further smudging the eyeliner already effortlessly smudged there, as he visibly tries to withstand some sort of emotional onslaught brought on by Louis' words. ]

That shouldn't make me as hot as it does.

[ The fact of the matter is that the idea of anyone knowing him in any way, let alone such an intimate one, is appealing to him. Shrouded in the mystery that comes with the territory of being a shapeshifting cat, he's rarely had the opportunity for anyone to get to know him - and even when he's desperately wanted them to, his fickle nature has got in the way instead. What Louis is talking about isn't the same, but it's close; it's still some connection that is undeniably his, something that will define who he is, even if he can't. And, obviously it's making him think of the pleasure of being bitten again, too. ]

It makes me want to test your theory, even if I'm pretty sure you're right. Even in a perfect copy, I'm still the same Cat beneath. I can't fake memories or feelings or anything like that. You'd still see whatever you saw in my blood the first time you drank it.

[ Edwin, his mind unhelpfully reminds him. He'd still see Edwin. ]
catting: (ck-101)

[personal profile] catting 2026-02-04 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Now you're really making me feel special. Like a nice, juicy steak.

[ He's such a little freak for saying that in such a sultry way, but he feels an odd prickle of dirty excitement at the thought of Louis savouring the taste of him and longing after him like a man might reminisce over a hearty meal.

He doesn't bother to bring up the fact that being singular amongst anything is what's really getting him hot, because if Louis saw many things in his blood, like Edwin and the Cat's more surface desires, it stands to reason that he might at least know the shape of the hunger in the Cat's soul, even if he doesn't know it's entirety. So he must know, then, that this kind of focused attention dedicated solely to him, when the Cat doesn't really have an altogether firm grasp of who he even is, is electrifying.

He hums, then hisses a breath through his teeth. ]


Fuck, now I'm really regretting not dragging you to that stupid ball with me. We could have found a nice dark corner for you to get a taste of me in. I looked sooo good, too. But I would've looked even better with a little red staining my collar.
