BLACK CAT [Aside to herself]

This conversation with Pluto, make it short. You don’t have time for this. Remember, you’re half drunk, he’s in Retrograde, and he’s going to talk to you about Feathers which you don’t want to hear about.

BLACK CAT [Aside to herself]

He’s calling you CB when you know it’s BC, but ignore it because remember, he’s in Retrograde until the eleventh, and you’re THE Black Cat. Keep drinking.

Spyritus–I meant–Spirytus, Pluto. I’ll have a Spirytus. Pluto, what are you having?

BLACK CAT Is it me, Pluto, or did you also just feel a slight temperature drop? There’s a ch-chill in here right now.

  1. Wow, what an interesting conversation between Pluto and Black Cat! It’s clear that Black Cat is being patient with Pluto even though he’s in Retrograde. It’s really cool to see them meet in this swanky bar in space. The atmosphere is really captivating and mysterious. The slight temperature drop adds to the suspense of the story. Thanks for sharing this, author!
