The front door opens a tiny crack, like it wasn't properly latched and has come ajar. A moment later a tiny nose pokes through, followed soon by a fuzzy head.

A cat, black and white with wide yellow eyes, peeks into Milliways, meowing to announce this new discovery, then slipping through the crack into the bar.

"No, no, no, no-- "

The door swings wide, pushed open by a man in a black mask, a box of kitty kibble in his hand.

He's too late, the cat makes a break for freedom and adventure, and Matt is left standing in the doorway trying to track the feline as it threads its way through the chaos of the bar.

"Damn it."

There is absolutely no way Claire is ever going to let him live this down.

Viv does a half leap and half fall forward, straight at the table the cat is under, turning intangible to pass through. She turns her hand solid in order to grab Shithead, who immediately starts growling and struggling. Standing, and careful not to pull the cat through the table, she offers the tiny murder creature to the man in black.

"She does not appear comforted at being caught. Are you certain this is Shithead?" The cat's claws aren't doing much to the girl's skin.

Matt still isn't sure what to make of the intangibility thing, but it does seem to come in handy.

With the cat putting up a fuss like it is, he's a little hesitant to take it.

"I sure hope so," he mutters, before finally stepping in to claim the cat.

"Thanks," he says tightly as tiny claw hooks sent into his forearms. He gives Viv a nod and then makes a hasty retreat to the exit, eager to dump the animal off on the other side of the door.
