Apple trees, Pirates and Arrows.
"That's funny," muttered my cat. She was sitting on the table infront of me a vision of well groomed perfection, projecting a look of casual disinterest to the room at large.
"What," I asked with a smile as I managed to spill the contents of my sandwich down the front of my shirt for the second time.
"It's of no import," grinned my cat.
"If you say so," I replied, unconvinced.
"I want a wand," she pouted.
"After the stunt you pulled with the sword," I replied, "I'm inclined to give it you, no questions asked. For the sake of form I supppose I better ask why."
"Shhh," whispered my cat, "magic."
"Talking of magick," I smiled, "I've been playing with the observer effect. It's especially interesting at the moment in light of that telepathy comment you made the other day."
"Do tell," said my cat with an air of eager anticipation.
"In the relams of financial security," I began, "it's especially funny."
"I take it you're discussing," said my cat, "accessing another's pin."
"Certainly," I agreed, "normally I don't bother for the sake of politeness. But there have been occasions where I've inadvertantly registered them."
"I would imagine," said my cat, "nobody notices."
"Of course," I nodded, "I'm covert at the best of times. Destroying another's faith seems rude."
"Indeed," purred my cat.
"Although," I continued, "I've getting a lot of negative feedback where I shouldn't, so I've been finding I'm getting mildly beligerant. So for no other reason I began doing it overtly."
"Two wrongs," muttered my cat.
"More like three," I muttered then.
"That's okay then," agreed my cat, "so have you got many pins."
"I'm not interested in the pin," I conceeded. "What is far more interesting are the effects."
"Such as," asked my cat with interest.
"Well the people I do it to begin to get visibly nervous," I admitted, "and the machine does seem to glitch-out with a greater frequency than usual."
"That is interesting," said my cat as she jumped off the table. "I'm off to do some checking." Keeping low she stalked off, her tail parallel to the ground. Very obviouslly she was on the hunt.
"Got sword," I muttered to myself as I lost sight of her.
