How-?
How does one lose their body? Paris frowned, his key search coming to a halt, holding his chin between his index finger and thumb. These were odd people indeed, far stranger than he had initially thought. The worst part was that they made him question what was real and what wasn't, a train of thought so dangerous that he set it aside entirely. His existential crisis could wait. Right now there was a man-cat who needed help finding his not-cat body.
While Cori played Holmes, the blond man redirected his flashlight to the room around them, damp, irregular stone walls. Bones, yellowed and picked clean nestled in the creases between floor and walls, skulls perched on a few candlelit outcroppings. Every once in a while, there was a quiet scrabbling noise, what he could only assume came from rats in the walls. In a way, it was morbidly beautiful, an excellent location for, say, a horror movie or video game. Physically being there, though, left Paris with little more than a strong desire to leave.
During the course of his inspection, his posture slowly began to slump, like there was a weight pulling him towards the ground. It was slight enough that even he did not notice. "Isn't the collar yours?" he mused, eyes and flashlight following the skittering sound as it curved around them. "If your body is gone, wouldn't the collar go with it?"

"Isn't the collar yours?" he mused, eyes and flashlight following the skittering sound as it curved around them. "If your body is gone, wouldn't the collar go with it?"
"Yeah. No. Back there." He looked over his own shoulder, back the way he'd been running. It was still in sight. A light patch down the way. He turned his head back to Cori and his mouth opened. Maybe it was a smile. She was psychic, she could probably hear the naughty quip about his body before it came. Paris saved her by pointing out the obvious.
Alf's tail thumped exactly three times, slower on each fall. Paris was right. He was making sense. If he wasn't in his body, his collar wouldn't be ... around his neck. It only resided there when he changed shape.
But he'd never turned into a cat. Never wanted to badly enough to imagine his collar could do it.
He furrowed his furry little brows and looked between them. He embodied pindrop silence.
"Okay." He finally said. "Maybe I am in my body. But I still don't know how to fix this or why it happened." His engine revved again. She needed to stop cuddling him.

Cori followed the line of Alf's sight, her fingertips finding the spot between his ears and sliding down to the middle of his back repeatedly. It helped her think. And thinking she was. Paris had a lot of very good points. Alf had a lot of very good points too. Enough that she very nearly missed the intent behind that wicked feline smile. Not quite. She turned a little pink around the ears and cheekbone.
"Paris, you're a genius!" The brunette covered her tracks by throwing a well-deserved compliment at the bestie. Meanwhile her fingers strayed down, scratching gently along the cat's jawline all the way down to his throat. And the indicated collar. One fingertip paused there, dropping to poise on the tip of a spike- like a ballerina on full pointe.
And then she pushed. Gently, not too hard, just in case it didn't do what she half expected it to do. Subconsciously she held her breath, waiting to hear and feel the familiar click-clacking of the collar turning on its track.

((Hello people, mod here.
We have noticed a lot of swearing in this thread, as well as the original post asking for everyone involved to be 18+.
We do not actually allow adult roleplay in our open RP forums (since they can be seen by anyone), and we'd usually just edit out the swearing, but since a lot of the interaction seems to be based off said swearing, we are offering an alternative: moving this entire RP into a group, instead, so you can continue there and freely have the kind of content you want.
So if you could make a Group and join it in preparation for Kim moving the entire thread over there, that would make it much easier!
Thank you for your understanding, and happy playing!))

((Uh oh! That's my bad, I didn't realize swearing wasn't allowed on the open forums. Sammy and Thema don't spend much time on RpR and were following my lead. We could move our RP to the fantasy subforum of Spicy Cat, https://www.rprepository.com/g/spicycat/forums))
