[It's 3 AM and the Archivist is bored to tears, sitting in jail, unable to work, unable to focus well enough to fall down a useless research hole on the internet thanks to being too tired. So, it's Agnes' turn for a late text he'll regret later.]
You should get a cat if you don't end up contracting with Festival. Do you think regular cats are like children to him? Or more like apes?
[Is it because she is what she is that Agnes is a light sleeper, or is she merely a night owl? Either way, Jon is (questionably) lucky enough to get a direct response.]
He's never been to my house, no. I've mentioned the Captain, and he didn't seem upset, but it's hard to tell when he's putting on a show of being offended and when he actually is. I'd appreciate you asking.
Also, I've been wondering. Can you get tattoos? Or would the ink all just boil, or run out, or something?
[Honestly, she didn't think he'd actually take her up on it, but of course it doesn't bother her in the slightest. She'll make a point of seeing how he feels about housecats. As for the other question:]
I haven't ever thought about getting a tattoo, but I doubt my flesh could be scarred in any way unless done with a particular ability.
No, just curious. I've been thinking about getting the eyes on my arm and hand turned into something else. Fewer things for Elias to look through. I did ask him if he was watching me through them, though, and he said I was too twitchy to bother.
I'll think about it. I'm mildly concerned about flowers evoking the Corruption. That's the last thing I want etched into my body. The worm scars are enough.

This is a very strange question to ask.
[She's just saying.]
no subject
I have a pet cat.
Is that like keeping a child as a pet to him?
no subject
I'm sure if he felt disturbed by this, he'd have mentioned it.
[Agnes, being Agnes, decides to offer:]
Would you like me to ask? I won't mention you.

["Ever" is a pretty long measure, and she's still getting to know herself with the "freedom" that Duplicity allows her.]
I have no current desire to have one. Do you think that I should?

Bastard.

[She doesn't believe for a second that he isn't watching, and she doubts Jon does, either.]
What would you change them into?
no subject
Some of them are large.
What do you think I could do?
Flowers, probably?

[She just couldn't help herself.]
Perhaps you can turn them into cats, somehow.
no subject
I'm not actually obsessed with cats, whatever this city wants to pretend.
Although...
Maybe paw prints for the ones on my fingers.
They're not going to have much detail.
no subject
[Maybe it's just that Agnes is the one mildly obsessed with cats.]
But flowers would also be nice. I enjoy both things.
