As you followed the cat, man? He continued droning on about how beautiful Ms. P was, and how she was, in his words- " the most accepting of creatures"

The use of the word creature made you nervous. But you followed regardless, watching your steps as the cat, man? Lead you deeper into the woods, like Alice chasing a rabbit til you came across a small cottage. It was a cute little house, with dark brown walls and a mix of leaves and branches made up the roof, that that you were really looking at it- the cottage looked more like a tree. Or more like it was built into one, which just continues to grow ever lasting around the small cottage, it reminded you of a distorted deku tree almost.

" Just through here watch your step and don't muddy anything" the cats thick accent suddenly said.  You glanced to where the cat told you to walk, carefully stepping onto a stone pathway and through a moon gate, to your surprise, the rain- despite still falling fell slower in the area you were in, making it easy to just walk past the little floating spectacles. You looked around the place in awe, watching with curiosity as Grinny led you up the steps of the home. As you removed your dirty shoes, the cat man walked behind a small wooden gate, turning himself back into a cat by time you two had made it inside. You watched nervously as the cat sauntered up to a pale, long necked woman. She had a short bob cut, with black lips forming into a large tooth grin upon the odd cat jumping upon her shoulders as she stirred an odd glowing pot. She turned to face you- showing her low cut, tight maxi dress with elbow sleeves as she came around a counter to greet you. 

"You.. Must be Ms. P, Grinny's told me a lot about you, hi" you muttered, feeling awkward as you did your best to appear presentable, even with all the blood, cuts, and bruises. Plus the ringing ears, which likely saved you from dying of boredom upon the smiling cats rants. She giggles a little at your introduction. She waves you over to a table, the glowing green pot suddenly floating to settle its self in the middle of the table. 

"come, sit darling. We'll speak over some nice tea and medicine I made for your wounds, your master told me you'd be in rough shape" 

You blinked in surprise at her words, a thick southern draw was on the edges of her tongue. "You're.. A proxy?" You asked slowly, sitting down as she began to pour you a cup of tea, the cat long gone from his place across her neck. Wait, where did he go? He was just here a moment ago-

"Not a proxy, sweet heart. Just an old friend" she affirmed, pouring herself a cup of tea before sitting down, you looked down into the cup. Looking at the small pink flowers that floated around in the liquid, you took note that her table cloth was a giant spiders web as you began to pull the cup to your lips. As you did you began to ask Ms. P some questions when suddenly the cat- well man now popped out from under the table and into the third dining room chair, his gloved hands slapping the phone Toby gave you down onto the middle of the table, a proud grin on his face as he had. 

"I- the cat has drug something out for you" he smirked, proud of his, 'catch' so to speak. But he was right, you should get into contact with the others. Prompting you to grab the device and open it, seeing as you already had two missed calls from Toby, along with another number you figured had to have been another proxy. Ms. P leaned forward, looking at the device. 

" I'll let you get to calling the proxies, Grinny is absolutely right. Such a smart little boy" she ruffed the cat mans head, he only smirked proudly as he sipped on a third cup of tea, thats who she had poured it for-

You took a long sip of the tea she had given you, rose petals and cherry blossoms drowned down your throat in a soothing manner before you took a stand to walk out to her porch, dialing the first number you had a miss call from, Toby.
