And the cat came back...

Nightblade took a deep long yawn and stretched his arms out until his fists brushed the ceiling of his too-cluttered apartment. He blinked his eyes and smacked his lips. He scratched his bare chest and blinked some more... It must have been a Long night... He didn't remember where he'd been or how long he'd been asleep and his head felt like it'd been tromped on by a giant rendor one too many times...
Wandering around his apartment to look for his clothes, Nightblade came across a drawing he'd done laying on the floor. "What's this.. who?... Vrixy?....Ugh, Oh no..." It started to come back to him... He knew he shouldn't have accepted that Stinga Rum Vrixy had offered him... he KNEW she was being too kind, but who could ever say no to free beer? Slipping on some Droge Pants, Nightblade stepped out of his apartment to get a feel for the city. It was nice and hot and he decided to take the long way around to the Baths. He left Abylus Circus towards Cerakos Ave and came out near Cheapside.
"Hunh... that's odd.. No one here.." Nightblade quirked an eyebrow and kept on towards the Highmarket. The market vendors all looked half-dead with boredom. It was nearly Noon and the markets were empty!
"Where IS everyone?" He thought as he passed the Oasis Fountain. Not since his great-great grandfather's time was the city this empty... and that was because the Kitin had just broken loose! Nightblade hoped he'd run into someone at the Baths, maybe they were having a party again? As he rounded the corner, he heard nothing still. He tossed his clothes carelessly into an open bin and slid into the empty waters. "What in Ma-Duks... The water's COLD!" Nightblade was horrified. The baths were NEVER cold! Everything was getting more curious by the minute... Muttering to himself at the extra exertion, he leaped into the air and called on the fire within to heat up his Bath (and maybe accidently burned a bin of towels in the process...) After a moment in the air, he opened his eyes and released the flames. He settled slowly into the hot water and lay back with head just above the water. He didn't know what had become of the city, but as soon as he was finished he'd find out... surely there was SOMEONE around...
