[Kravitz very rarely makes himself known on the network, but this is one of those things he feels is Important in a way he can't ignore. It's not that he's looking for pity- rather, he just needs to inform people. There's no tragedy in passing. There's no fear in something he can't reach.

He wishes he could believe that anymore.]

Hello, uhm-- this is Kravitz. For those who may be looking for them, it seems Lup, Taako, and Ren have all departed from the island. My apologies to those who used their services or... simply knew them. I'm not able to carry on the magic they did, but I'll do my best in providing what you need if you were getting some kind of service or items from their store.

[He takes a breath, but it's shaky, and forces any other uncertainty out of his tone.]

I'd also like to remind everyone that we do have a library here containing many resources and a workspace for study. Contributions are always welcome, and I have a number of archived pieces from other islands for study as well. Feel free to contact me if I am not around and I will come to assist.

That... that is all.

[ooc: Kravitz has a shiny new library page on his journal now, if people want to get involved!!]

[ Libraries are all like that. Silent, empty... a bit boring, if he has to be honest. Though he doesn't prefer complete chaos either, Jyushimatsu wouldn't like sitting here for hours only listening to his own thoughts as he reads words on paper. Just... not his thing. He'll respect Kravitz for having this job. But it's still kinda boring.

He wonders how many guests even come here at all, but he shrugs that off for now. ]

Okay! [ His voice is... loud, and it echoes in the library, and he's awful. ]

It wasn't that bad? I would've come faster, but with ESP Kitty I wanted to be careful!

[ See, it's much easier to be softer with animals! The issue comes when he's with fellow humans. ]

[Sometimes boring is good! What's bad about getting to a quiet place and just using your brain for hours on end?? It's amazing, in Kravitz' opinion. Kravitz is also a nerd, and this is beyond obvious by now. At least he can ignore various items that are less than ideal to give ESP Kitty some attention, running his palm over the cat's head to then cup his chin and deliver Those Good Scritchies. Makes it almost feel like home.

Thankfully Kravitz isn't so low on social skills that he'd stop talking as soon as he sees or touches a cat, so he does respond, albiet after a moment's pause to smile at the cat in their presence.]

Right, right, I-- I appreciate your caution. I would be concerned with the transport, but knowing he's been living with Ren for many months... well, she was loving, but not the best at being gentle. I'm certain this little one can take anything you can dish out-- I mean, seeing as they were part of your family before ours.

[ Aww yiss they're very good scritches. Not as awesome as Ichimatsu's, but ESP Kitty never ever says no to any form of cuddling, so Kravitz will hear the boy purr, loud enough thanks to the library's silent atmosphere. ]

Eh? Ren-chan wasn't a gentle one?

[ That's news to him. All he caught is that she tends to think people are cats, but she seemed like a very nice and soft girl.

He chuckles at the last part. ]

Ichimatsu-niisan spoiled him a bit much, though. I can't be good like him with cats, but I wanna try! ESP Kitty is one of our family after all!

[deathfindsaway]

Ren is... exuberant. I don't think she would have hurt him intentionally, just... getting too excited, sometimes.

[We don't hug cats like stuffed animals and there's a reason for that. At least he has nice cuddles to hold him over while he talks.]

Why couldn't you be good with cats, though? I'm sure you could learn. It's just about letting them set the boundaries and respecting what they want. I'm sure you could if you put your mind to it.

[yakyuuman]

Oh! ... I can relate to that, to a certain point. Haha!

[ But then again he won't squeeze cats like plushies and that's because Ichimatsu taught him better. He's now a gentle enough man to animals (but never to humans, ever).

Speaking of which... ]

Well, I mean...! I know a lot of things but Ichimatsu-niisan is still better than me at this whole thing! But that's because he's a bit of a cat, too!

[ He literally turns into one. ]
