I'm looking for a decent home in Attleton.
[OH IT'S KITTY AGAIN.
A kitty who actually has all his nice clothes on, neat as a pin, and is an actual adult today. And no one better mention any of that shit that happened prior to this moment, because while Mordecai is never in the mood for a good joke, he's even less enthused about what happened this Easter. Merrymakers take their lives in their hands here.]
After much thought and consideration, I've accepted a position as the professor of accounting at Attleton University. I start immediately.
And I expect not to hear any complaints about it.
That being said, I shall be requiring a home closer to my place of work, I have no intention of taking public transit there.
I don't want to die at the age of thirty from whatever incurable diseases the teaming populace is gestating in their lungs right now.
Thank you.

Athos cannot help but smile some. While the whole fiasco that transpired earlier this month feels so distant to him now, Athos cannot help but smile fondly when he sees Mordecai. There's no mistaking him for anyone else. The feline certainly came a far cry from his youthful days but Athos still sees hints of the fearful lad clutching a broom.
He just fears Mordecai might not recognize him.]
Félicitations.
Re: video
He recognizes him just fine after a bit of squinting, fixing the pince nez just slightly-]
Quite. That's far more than I'll be getting out of the rest of the under educated, unappreciative masses here.
...
I keep forgetting how strange hair growth is with you... people.
Re: video
What? [He strokes chin lightly when he realizes that Mordecai means his beard.] You said I lacked fur.

Re: video
Of course not but I couldn't help but tease.
Re: video
Of course, he's picked up that he's missed something, it takes a hot minute for him to pick up that this was, of course, not a literal statement.
Good going, dweeb]
Well no of course not. I-
[MISSED THE JOKE, r/WOOSH]
Am very distracted at the moment with highly pressing matters concerning a new domicile.
The last one
[Has bullet holes in it]
Is unfit for habitation.
Re: video
Did something happen? [He asks bluntly.] You sound a tad...shaken.
Re: video
I'm fine. I'm just very, very busy with a great deal of very complicated things.
[Mordecainese for 'I'm full of bullshit and deeply embarrassed about missing the joke and looking dumb']
Re: video
Understandable. [A pause.] May I suggest that you celebrate your new employment with wine?
You deserve a drink.
Re: video
Re: video
He gives the fussy gentleman another glance before deciding not to pursue down this avenue. If Mordecai doesn't wish to drink, then so be it. However, he has another option. One that might be more pleasant to Mordecai's delicate sensibilities.]
Not even elderflowers and rose lemonade, monsieur?

[He has a few guesses. He has none at all about what the social rules are regarding tending one's tender years. He'd like to ask "what happened?" but then, he has some guesses there too.]
Suppose recommendations for a house depend on a few factors. Would this be in addition to your accounting work? Would Viktor be living with you? What does he do, anyway? Do you intend to get married and have a littler of your own someday?
[Each is asked with equal sincerity.]
Re: Video
Of course Viktor would be living with me, and what he does is his own business.

Thank you.

The kitchen is shared among tenants, but there aren't as many people around as the Commons.

[she beamed]
Forgive me, but what is a professor of accounting..?
