[A blink and a shudder, but darkness at first. And fumbling. And moving shadows. Nothing to see, but there's something there. Gradually, gradually...

Ah ha: pulling away from the screen, materialising out of the shadows (or forming from them, as dark as this creature seems) is a dog--small, though not tiny, but thin (very thin), and very dark. But, strangely, for a dog, he seems to have cat's eyes: green and gold and green.

He sinks onto the floor--it seems to be a hallway or a room somewhere in the opera house--and looks rather imploringly with those green-gold-green eyes at the Network device. Imploringly.]



[But staring at the thing isn't doing much good, really, is it? Not if everyone else in the City is likewise in such a state (and he has seen and, more importantly, smelled that it does seem to be so). This ordeal is far from his usual feline transformation. He is not amused.

No filters because Cain is a dog today. Obvs.]

[The sad thing is, she's so used to Cain as a cat that seeing him as a dog is just boggling.]

My goodness, just look at you!

[What, it just slipped out.]
