II
When one is hit in the head with a heavy rock one expects to have a killer headache.
Unfortunately for me, I have never dealt well with any type of pain no matter how minuscule. Like that one time when I stubbed my toe and proceeded to fall on the floor and cry for 5 minutes. It wasn't a very prideful moment. The roaring laughs from Blu was enough to paint my face a startling shade of red.
I stood up on shaky feet and squinted my eyes against the abnormally bright sunlight before noticing the projectile that wasn't actually a rock. It was a...thing. A round black thing that was slowly unravelling into a what…?
A cat?
" 'Sup."
A talking cat?
"He threw a cat at me?"
The cat thing merely looked at me unimpressed.
"Excuse me Ma'am?" A voice said. I grumbled and turned away from the stupid cat that was still staring at me.
"What?,"
"Ma'am…ma'am!" The Man continued to shout.
"What?!" I shouted back, annoyance clear in my voice.
'Does he have some mental illness? Why is he shouting at my unconscious body I'm right in front of him…'
"You fucking idiot."
I stared in shock as the man approached the other me on the ground, still calling out as if I would answer him.
"You've gotta be kidding me," I whispered.
" You really are quite slow aren't you."
" You!" I shouted, my finger violently pointing at the black cat, suddenly remembering that it was there, " What the hell did that angel guy do to me?"
The cat continued to mutter to itself just like how Blu would when she would complain about something before sighing in irritation.
"Just hurry up and wake up, I'll explain when you're not sprawled out on the floor like an idiot"
"Well I would wake if I knew how to you fucking twat. It's not like I want to be on the floor in an alleyway. It's not exactly on my bucket list. Why don't you find a way to wake me up its your fau-"
I blinked and suddenly I was staring upwards at the old man's face. He flinched backwards in surprise, eyes widening.
"...yo," I said, awkwardly waving at him from my position on the floor, " well it was nice talking to you!"
I quickly rose to my feet and lightly jogged out of the alleyway, only to stop suddenly when i realised that everyone around me was Asian.
"W-where am I?" I stuttered. People glanced at me as they walked past, their faces twisting into an expression that screamed 'what the fuck is she doing?'
"Japan," The little twat had strolled up casually beside me, it's tail waving lazily in the air without a care as if I hadn't just been miraculously transported all the way to Japan from England.
"I'm surprised that's the first thing you noticed," The cat said, which prompted me to look around and figure out what he was talking about. It took me far too long but when I saw it I couldn't unsee it.
Everything was animated. Like everything. The leaves on the trees. Buildings. People. Everything.
The longer I concentrated the harder it was to keep seeing my animated surroundings. It faded back into normal life when the cat interrupted my intense staring session.
"I guess it's quite hard to see it on the first time. The others said the same thing," the cat sighed and began walking down the street. I hurried after it before I could lose it in the crowd.
'I'm dreaming aren't I? But it feels way too real to be a dream
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Nope. I'll let Eli explain. Just go into the cafe and look for the idiot with the blue hair."
I stopped and stared awkwardly down at the cat. I was going to take orders from a talking cat. Maybe I was dreaming. Yeah I was dreaming no reason to start freaking out absolutely no reason everything was fine fine fine great awesome-
'wait, others?'
Before I could ask the question that had suddenly struck me the cat sprinted away and disappeared into the crowd. I swallowed and turned back to the cafés door and stepped in.
It was a small cosy place with only a few people dotted around the room, sipping on steaming coffees or eating small cakes. It was easy to find the bright head of blue hair amongst the many browns and blacks, but the shade of blue seemed awfully familiar…
Blu glanced up from the mug she had been staring deep into like it had the secrets of the universe and noticed me standing in shock by the entrance. Her bright red lips tilted upwards into a hesitant smile and she raised her hand to give me a small wave.
'what the hell'
