[He pretty obviously didn't mean to turn on the video function, from the way he's just staring dully at his wristband and then jerks away from it startled when he notices the feed going.]

...fuckin', weird space technology.

[An odd, stilted voice from out of view filters up to the feed. It's pretty neat, really., it says, and Ichimatsu's sparse little eyebrows crash together and he looks down. A moment later, the feed whirls as he moves and hefts a bizarre-looking orange cat into his lap, and he folds his free hand gently over the feline's ears.]

You're gonna have to stop doing that.

[The cat's mouth moves, but he just stares blankly ahead like he has no real idea he's speaking in the first place.] You're gonna make people wanna steal you and sell you again.

[A slow, huffed sigh, and Ichimatsu frowns at the communicator.]

...so, uh. My cat can talk, do us both a favor and don't try to steal him and sell him.

I'll pull out your entrails and feed them to you.

[He chokes, and covers the cat's mouth this time.] Stop that!!

Are you sure? It doesn't spit radioactive fire beams on its enemies?

[ichimyatsu]

[Vaas are you okay. Ichimatsu doesn't think you're okay.]

N...ot last I checked, no.

[shabby]

[ Vaas hasn't been okay for a long time. ]

So why're people trying to steal it?

[ichimyatsu]

[He blinks long and hard at him.]

...I. Because he's psychic, and people like things that do shit because they-- my brothers wanted to sell him? And I don't have much exposure to people beyond them.

[shabby]

You're better off. People are assholes.

[ The only thing worse than people in general are tourists. And the Rakyat. ]

Don't let them take your cat, yeah? They try, you kill them. Teach them not to mess with your shit.

[ichimyatsu]

[Still staring. He agrees on the front of people are assholes, but also, you're very odd. Maybe he will seek to vaguely befriend you.]

[He grins after a moment.]

I'll give them my worst.

[shabby]

[ Vaas snaps his fingers and points to the camera. His smile is wide and awfully sharp. ]

That's the spirit. You're all right, Godzilla. You're all right.
