[ sitting by one of the fires alone, he's kicking his feet idly while staring at the crackling source of heat. it's probably easy to mistake him for a stuffed animal, some kind of anthropormorphic cat wearing a tiny yellow bandanna around its neck and a tool belt that looks to be lined with a few pouches of different shapes and sizes. at first, Morgana doesn't make sound--- just thinking with his eyes closed before gently sighing before muttering to himself. ]

I wonder if we could've gone on a camping trip.

[ his tail flexes as it dangles down his little perch. not sitting with others meant not having to answer any questions about who he is and his form out in the open, too. he knows he's not in the Metaverse, yet being able to hold his bipedal form begs more questions. but for now, he enjoys his solitude until it's broken, ears flitting once in a while. ]

[ there is a very good chance that the cat you might run into is black with white paws and a white muzzle along with a yellow collar. the first time, the cat is definitely walking across your path toward another direction, taking a second to observe you with an unusual stare and smile before going on its merry way with its tail upright and maybe even humming as it disappears off into the distance.

but then when you run into it again on the same path, it now sits in your way with an accusatory frown. ]

[ and so he does make it to Olympia, which seems like the better choice comparatively. still, he doesn't know much other than the information provided in the Super Great pamphlet and all the Extremely Convincing people that didn't really talk to him. who tries to bribe a cat, anyhow? still--- he follows with the crowd of newcomer refugees, and just hopes that someone will take pity on him: a cat who clearly looks like it needs a home?

it's the way he likes it: a way to do a little bit of recon and maybe get a quick laugh out of it, too. ]
