Oh hell. Okay. So, um, my cat's just caught a mouse, so go cat, but it's not dead. It's clearly really injured, but not dead. What do I do?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Move to house that does not have mice.

Yes, thank you Gus. I was thinking more immediately?

My ears hurt; my fingers hurt. It should not get this cold in the south. My fingers feel like they're burning from the cold.

Sorry, Em
It was the quip-impulse.
Seriously. If you can not cure the mouse, help the mouse escape its pain.

Oh crap. It's not there now. So either it got away (seems unlikely) or she moved it when I wasn't looking. There is a dead or dying mouse somewhere in my apartment, and I may not know where until I step on it. AAAAH!
I know, I know. There are more scary things. But this is kind of freaking me out.

That sounds reasonable. Um. How?
Also, if it's saveable, any suggestions on catching it?

On the upside, I'm not sure I've ever seen Bastet so happy.

Well now, it wasn't such a good idea to put it down next to something you can't fit under, now was it, kitty? Even a mouse-brain should be able to figure out it ought to stay under there. Of course, I can't fit under there either...

I am struggling here. How might we succor a poor, injured mouse over the Web, when our best local observer can not locate the mouse?
The cat! The cat will be nigh the mouse. It is a certainty.
