With the sun cracking the horizon, the garden was a perfect place to nap. All it took was some loud meows at the back door, a frustrated grumble from their twoleg as they unlock the cat flap to the backyard; they're all dressed up in their work outfit, today, with Disco hearing that word so many times that they've started to associate it with the tans and greens of their twoleg.

Disco gives a grateful little mrrow, brushing their back against the outstretched hand before they make their way outside, basking in the warmth that the new-day sunlight brought. A place to sleep, hmm… They look around- they could sleep under the tomato plants, but they're afraid their twoleg might not be too happy about that considering last time… They shudder. It's not their fault that a rabbit munched away and their twoleg thought it was them!

Flowers will do. They make their way over to the already squished down patch, curling up with a gentle purr.

They're slowly drifting off in the patch of flowers until the scrabble of claws against wood reaches their ears and they groan, cracking an eye open only to see a stranger standing in their yard. They draw themself upwards, then stretch downwards with a flick of their tail before they greet them."Well, hello there." their voice is a warm, lazy drawl. The newcomer doesn't look like too much of a threat, so they don't treat them as one. "Are you lost?" they stretch a paw out to bat a stray piece of mulch back in to the garden.

𑁍 Magnolia believes the day will bring oppressive heat. The molly tests her theory when the sun began to rise: she leaps atop a roof top, spun twice counterclockwise and once clockwise and when a breeze does not tickle her whiskers, she nods confidently. Her strange ritual confirms it; the day would be warm with no cloud cover.

She was traipsing around the Twolegplace the entire night and her large paws feel like lead, weighing every moment down- but Magnolia doesn't like being around the neighborhood during the day when the chances of being caught by an upwalker are likelier. Night time is when she is most active and she flourishes beneath the moonlight. From the rooftop, Magnolia surveys the surrounding homes when she sees a Monster pull away from its den. It's always better to rest in a yard of Twolegs that are not home, this way Magnolia is not snatched by their grabby paws. She scrambles off the roof and disembarks towards the empty home, trotting along the fenceline until she reaches it. She inhales deeply. No dog scent, maybe a kittypet lives in this home, but they are no bother.

Magnolia launches upwards, scales a fence and then lands lightly into a Twoleg yard, unaware of the feline in the yard as well. She shakes out her tangled fur and begins to scan the well-gardened yard, looking for a nice resting place. That's when amber eyes settle on the feline whose territory she has invaded. "Greetings," Magnolia mews softly, returning the stranger's greeting with warmness. She tips her head, gesturing with a plumed tail about the yard. "Nice yard you've got here... no not lost!"The blue molly is quite carefree, the kittypet seems to be no threat and so with a shrug she sits lightly on her haunches.

"Would you mind if I rested here for a little? I'll be gone before the sun reaches its peak!" Magnolia twists her tail around a foreleg and hums, "Name's Magnolia... yours? Let me guess... Diamond... Shiny..." Amber eyes glint with unabashed humor as she guesses her host's name is related to the tacky accessory around their neck. "Well, I must say it is nice to see a friendly face! I've been wanderin' about for quite some time... so thank you for your hospitality!" Magnolia flashes a toothy, well-meaning smile towards the smokey cat before tipping her head to lap at her white chest. While she's in some sort of safe haven, she might as well get some tangles out of her fur.​
 
At least the stranger knows manners! She greets them with niceties. Disco smiles warmly.

Nice yard you've got here, "Thank you kindly." they speak with a laid-back smile as if it were them that put all the flowers down, and the tree, and the garden stones, and the birdbath, and all of the other cool things their twoleg had put out. "Not lost? Hmm.... Okie dokie, then..." his jaws snap shut.

They're about ready to invite her to stay until she introduces herself. "Oooo, almost!" they yawn (shaking the last of the sleepiness from their mind) as she tries guessing their name. "Shiny is close, but not quite. Well- It would be a fitting name though, hm?" they gesture to their collar before they lick down their ruffled fur from being half-asleep, then they finally properly introduce themself. "I'm Disco. It's nice to meet you, Magnolia." they blink warmly, tilting their head to one side and then to the other.

Magnolia says she's been traveling for a while and that piques their interest. "Oh, really? Where'd you come from?" Disco isn't from around here, no, probably tens of thousand of miles away lies their birthplace. Perhaps Magnolia was like them or perhaps not, maybe shes just searching for a purpose in life, or maybe shes just searching for a place that is safe. "But yes. You can rest as long as you need." Disco formally invites her in, rounding back towards the birdbath fountain at the porch. "My twoleg runs fresh water through this each night. If you're thirsty," they beckon towards it. It's a good leap up to get a good grip on the lip of the thing, but it has to do. "It's supposed to be for the birds, but I steal a few drinks out of it here and there."
