[no time to filter. Mao has to do this fast or this infernal compulsion to talk and talk and talk and talk will win]

I'm shutting down. Chekov, reboot me when this is over.

[He hates relying on the kindness of near strangers. Hates being this vulnerable. But it's either shut down his server so that the deities cannot access the information he has, or remain conscious and spew all his secrets for the entire City to hear.

Mao likes his secrets.]


[ action ]
[He uploads the whole of his consciousness, not just parts, and then shuts down the computer. It's only then that he realizes just how much he had come to rely on the server. His control over this body is immediately weakened. It won't be long until he's almost entirely cat. What if Chekov reboots the server but he's unable to download himself to this body again? What's left of his mind spins with countless horrific scenarios.

But there's no use worrying about it. And as the hours pass, he becomes incapable of worrying about it. He wanders the streets like a normal pet cat, sniffing around for things either interesting or tasty or both.

Give a cat a treat?]




[ooc: Mao has uploaded his entire consciousness to a computer and has shut the computer down for its safety, so there will be no replies to the network post! You may, however, encounter him on the street.]

[She caught his entry, then went looking for Mao. Not finding him in the apartment, Yin set out into the City proper, using her specter to locate him. Fortunately, she knew his cat shape by heart, so even without a contractor mind present, she knew she had the right cat.]

[In one hand is a bag of shrimp treats. In the other, one shrimp dangles down and Yin offers it to Mao.]

[When he's done eating it, she takes a step back and offers out another one.]

[He can resent her, that's fine. She lays another one out.]

[She rubs his head after a time, then reaches to pick Mao up.]
