[That's it. That, and...a number of blank lines for people to guess letters. If they're interested in playing, that is. He apparently hasn't seen fit to explain the game, but if you stay tuned, you might catch the general gist of it.]

Comments

[ungrieved]

[Patently incorrect, but he won't penalize for it. The cat faces are cute.]

congratulations you got it

[No she didn't.]

[catpiper]

[SHE KNEW IT. The answer is always cats. That's the real lesson everyone should takeaway from this.]

fun

[And with a """"full"""" understanding of this amazing game now, she responds with-]

[SQUINTS HARDER.]

is that morse

[catpiper]

thats a line

4 lines

[The heck is a morse? Maybe they mean-

On the first line, she doodles a terrible horse. With cat ears instead of normal horse ears. She's only ever seen one, okay? Let her live.]

[ungrieved]

do you know how to play hangman

[A bit belated in asking, sure, but he might as well. All she's doing thus far is drawing little...little horsecat hybrids? That's horrifying. He never wants to see that in reality. No one introduce him to the Fustercluck.]

[catpiper]

no

i know this game

[A little tic tac toe board is doodled under her words. Is hangman as great as this classic?? Is it better than drawing cats on lines?? Horsecats?? It better be. These are high game standards to live up to.]

[ungrieved]

[It's not hangman, but this other party here clearly isn't one for letters and words. Tic tac toe is, comparatively simple. And Gabe is, naturally, competitive enough to spring for it.]

cat's game

[catpiper]

cats dont like this

[She takes that term literally, of course. A cat's game? No, this is a human game. Maybe a ghost game. She doodles green pawprints around the tic tac toe board. Adds some smiley faces between the prints for good measure.]

that was fun

[Even with the tie, thanks for playing mystery person.]

[ungrieved]

its a term
it means no one wins

[But, hey. This person likes cats. Whoever they are. So maybe it wasn't that bad a choice of phraseology after all.]

[catpiper]

['Cat's game' should mean everyone is a winner. Only Ren can't figure out how to right this atrocious wrong with only the chalk in her hand and a bunch of words she can't write. Or even think to write. Cats are always good and their name should be used for good things. That's the point here.

Another tic tac board goes up, with everything identical to the previous one, except-]

this is a cat's game

[One where mystery bean wins twice and is happy. That's the new cat's game.]

[ungrieved]

i mean no
a cat's game is a draw
a tie
no man's game

[They let him win, even. That's both irritating, because it's patronizing, and...weird, because it's nice.]

but i guess this works too

[catpiper]

[Victory thy name is Ren. Take that tic tac toe creator!! She adds a giant, smiling purple cat under i guess this works too for good measure. Nice. Glad they're on the same page now.]

this will make them happy

[Will cats even care? Stay tuned. ESP Kitty will be interviewed shortly over this new development.]

[ungrieved]

make who happy

[Ren, help. He doesn't follow.]

[catpiper]

[The multiple blue cats that appear on the rock might be enough to indicate what this gremlin's answer is gonna be. But she writes it anyway-]

the cats

[ungrieved]

this island has cats?

[Literal cats, or imaginary ones?]

[catpiper]

yes

[Secret human looking ones and-]

one is with me

[ungrieved]

and does this cat actually exist
