==Happy Things==
After a fierce spat where Liu /may/ have fucked up, he asks if there's anything he can do to make Min feel better. 
"You can get me a picture of his shoes." (the argument may have been about her role in the PPDC). 
"What?" 
"Mr Chau. You can get me a picture of his shoes." 
Da faq?
"Siqi loves tacky shoes." 
They grin. 
"/You can't make me feel better--in fact I would like to smear your stupid face across the pavement." 
Ow. But I had that coming. 
"But fifty messages from her gushing about how wonderfully awful they are will."
Later that evening, Liu sends a picture of the shoe rack in Chau's closet. 
M: You totally snuck through the window. 
L: Please. I went through the front door.
L: It may have been a different front door, but I walked right in and walked right out. 
M: Mad skillz o sneaky one 
She sends it to Siqi. Fifteen messages later Siqi sends back a picture of her peg board where she's pinned the shoes beside a pair of 5" faux bejewelled strappy sandels. Min gets another 40 texts before between then and lights out. 
Fast-forward to 2025, Siqi and Chau unfortunately meet (Min worked so hard to make sure that never happened) and Siqi says, 
"omg it's you! You're the tacky shoe guy! I love your shoes! They are /so ridiculous it's awesome! They're my number three--Min, I sent you a picture." 
"From last year."
"Eh, they were my number four then. It'll do. I saw my former number two as part of an outfit and they actually looked really good. Funny how that works."
Min pulls up the picture on her /work phone (ie the phone Daiyu lent her) and slides it over. 
Guess who never talks with Siqi ever again? 
"That could've gone worse," Siqi remarks as they head home. 
Min agrees: "We could be in a trunk on the way to our doom." 
"That's not sarcasm."
"Nope."

==It's Raining==
(Originally posted here for hauntedfalcon's birthday)
Siqi sits atop the shrine dorm with an garden umbrella and a large black cat. 
Rains pings down steadily on the armour. 
“I don’t even know,” she sighs, idly stroking his damp fur. “I mean…” 
On the street, hydraulics groan. 
A yellow cat gallops across the tile, skids to a halt, and beams through the rain. 
“You’re going to sing, aren’t you,” says Siqi. 
Engines whines.
The yellow cat gives himself a shake, throwing water everywhere, settles himself, and bursts into song. 
The black cat stretches. 
Metal creaks.
“I’m not—I don’t know what to do yet.”
Nearly gets blinded by a spotlight. 
“Turn that thing down, will you?” 
Compliance. 
“Well,” Siqi secures the black cat and stands. “I’m getting nothing so I’m calling in the 
expert. Stay—” She frowns. “Just don’t smoosh anything, ‘k?” 
Speaker feedback. 
“Awesome.” She picks her way back to the stairs and the very annoyed, barely damp ginger cat huddling there. 
He glares ‘betrayal’. 
“You have a perfectly good house inside. Where it’s dry. And,” Siqi holds open the door. 
The yellow cat prances through. 
The ginger cat slinks by. 
The black cat yawns. 
“There’re perfectly good people to harass.” 
The ginger cat pauses. 
“No, I’m not good people to harass. I throw salt and taunt you with corporeal toys.” 
Another door, a cozy hall, second door in the left. 
Siqi yields to the cats. 
The yellow cat shakes again. 
The ginger cat snarls. 
“Hey, Mom?” 
The yellow cat stretches, hops onto an armrest. 
“She’s out,” calls Dad. 
Thank you for that, universe.
The black cat hops from her arms and disappears into the doll house. 
“How’re you feeling?” Siqi finds him in the kitchenette. 
“Transmission’s a bit shoddy,” admits Dad. 
“Hmm.” Siqi pours some juice. “Mm?” 
“I’m fine, but thank you.” 
“Mm.” Yum. “Turns out one of the Jaegers’s haunt—owwww—” she pries off the ginger cat. 
“A haunted Jaeger?” 
The ginger cat glares at her. 
Siqi ignores him. “Told it to wait outside and—”
The universe downloads the answer.
“—Mom doesn’t know what to do about ghostly robots.” 
For some reason, they both look to the ¾ tonne Tall-Grass-In-Sun. 
The eleven feet of tiger looks up from the couch. 
“Don’t think a 250 foot robot’d fit in a closet.” 
Dad shrugs. “There goes my plan.” 
Tall-Grass-in-Sun huffs, flicks his tail— 
and one of the triplet cats goes flying across the room.
