( he nailed it, and i hated it, but he's too cute so he gets a pass. as for komaeda's thoughts, he's actually receptive to the pun — eyes lifting up thinking that akira has connected the dots. he doesn't think it's that hard to figure out, there's too many things giving it away — how alien, how deranged... isn't that what cats are? literally black voids from space that came down to earth to commit more black void crimes? there's been pictures, people have seen it up close, so the other isn't wrong on his guess. )

...hiss-terical, would be the right choice of words. You're catching on pretty quickly.

( praise, even as he reaches for the feathers and pipe cleaners, komaeda feels like they're making more progress than they were before. he's identifying the feathers to make sure they're in mint condition, and that they're not too hard for when lily may and bev go to attack their new toys. they're perfect, purrfect as one would say. looking at the box for all they purchased, and then towards the counter where npc-kun is probably eagerly awaiting their cash — )

I'll pay for it, but I need everything to be kept with you... if we work together, this can be a surprise for them.

( besides, the cats know who komaeda is, but they'd never expect their newcomer... to arrive and... )
