oh my god you are a beautiful human being. I don't really remember Pearls of Lutra well, I think it was one of the last ones I read before I stopped, and it wasn't one of the ones that I got a billion rereads out of, but this is beautiful.

Hi, I'm Sam, I'm playing Hajime Saitou from that ridiculous vampire samurai series Hakuouki, or Hajime Fujisai, as he's known here.

...Souji's player and I were discussing having Souji randomly bring home/dump a cat on Hajime to trigger an echo. I feel like the situation would still be close enough that it would not have to be a cat, so I believe we could work something out, if you don't get another offer you like better! Hajime lives alone and is ridiculously tidy and secretly weak to adorable fuzzy things so he'd probably make sure she was the best fed ferret there ever was.
