A Hardly Working Jungle Cat
Who: Bagheera Plankton and you
What: Cleverly evading the angry mobs
Where: The park, Magic Kingdom
When: 5/11
A - Park in the Aqua District
[Seeing Bagheera(?) around the park probably isn't so surprising at this point- he's a cat, he climbs trees. That's what they're supposed to do, right? So it might be easy to dismiss his presence there today.
It might be, but it likely isn't, because he's very clearly Not In A Tree as he should be. But that isn't for lack of trying.
He backs up nearly all the way across the park, crouching down with his sights aimed at one tree in particular. A sturdy one with relatively low-hanging branches- it should be no problem. But even with a running start and a leap into using his claws to scramble up it, Bagheera(???) hardly gets three feet off the ground before falling off backwards. He doesn't even land on his feet, what kind of shitty cat is he.
He growls in frustration as soon as he's up, less hurt and more annoyed.]
How does he even get up there?
[Okay, whatever, one more time- he manages to use the running start to claw his way a whole five feet or so up the tree trunk before falling this time, at least, but then he's immediately back to pacing circles around the tree angrily.]
B - Magic Kingdom
[If you happen to pass anywhere in the general vicinity of Aloha Isle, you might notice a very conspicuous trail of dropped Dole Whips lying across the ground. Following them leads to... Bagheera(?????), lying across one of the tables and very awkwardly attempting to eat Dole Whip from a cup as best he can. Who knows how he got it and managed to carry it over there.
(He won't admit to it, but the dropped trail is absolutely from previous attempts to carry it. He's bad at being a panther, cut him some slack.)
Anyways, he looks pretty displeased that he's even stooping to try one in the first place, and more displeased with the fact that he doesn't actually... hate it that much.
Maybe it was more just the principle of having to sell the second-best thing while Krabs got to sell these. And maybe the whole Dole Whip grudge thing doesn't matter now... but that's not going to stop him from muttering crossly at it.]
Still don't see the appeal.

Mike just sort of stands there, staring quietly with the same tired, zoned out expression that's always been his default.
...
After doing that for awhile, he finally calls out.]
Hello, animal control? Anybody? There's a big cat...jeezus, first the fire ants and now this...
no subject
Then again, it's not like he owes any loyalty to anyone regardless of whether they did or did not vote to him, given he's in a Foolproof Extremely Clever Disguise that no one can ever see through. Even the real Bagheera would totally fall for this, probably.]
I am animal control.
[Not entirely true but mayors can probably just pick up whatever jobs they want, right.]
And I've decided that all human animals are banned from being within 600 feet of... what kind of cat am I, a jaguar? No standing within 600 feet of jaguars.
no subject
Mike is extremely taken aback by the animal talking since well...none percent of animals have ever talked to him.
The human stumbles and covers his mouth.]
Oh my god. A talking cat?!
[Sighs.]
I guess all that alcohol is finally catching up to me. Ooooor this is one of those lifelike robots like Blade Runner.
[Continuing to talk to himself like Sheldon somehow can't hear:]
I bet if I bag this motherfucker some rich jerk will pay a lot of money for him...
no subject
[He hates doing Bagheera a favor like this but it benefits the both of them so-
But given he doesn't recognize this guy as one of the people who wanted to punch him it's. Probably fine to just flaunt his authority under these circumstances.]
Excuse me. I'm the mayor. It's against the law to bag the mayor. There's, like, sixty other stupid animals to bag instead if you want cash.
no subject
You're Sheldon Trilobite? You don't even look like a brineshrimp...
Oh my god, this park voted a cat as mayor. What the hell is wrong with people...
no subject
[Grudgingly, he drags himself away from his tree and presses a paw against a card lying in the grass nearby. In a second or so he's back to his regular appearance.]
And of course they didn't vote for a cat. They made the reasonable decision and voted for the most handsome, responsible candidate. The best option, really.
no subject
...hey what happened to the cat?
Uh greetings, Plankton-Sheldon-Plankton. Is there two Sheldons?
no subject
dear neptune did no one give this guy a run-down on anything that happens here or what]
No. There isn't.
no subject
Like being smacked with a bat, he suddenly jolts to life.]
Ooooh!!
So that's what those cards were for! I thought it was some...anime nerd game. This is an embarrassment for me.
no subject
Anime.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
