This one happened sometime after the events of “Ascensions”, when the BBA assault on the West Capitol happened. Nemo had just returned to Earth from Mars after asking the Galactic King permission to head to the blue planet and remain there as a sort of ambassador from the Galactic Patrol, protecting it from evil as a means to make up for his failure in keeping the peace during the Tourney Troubles events. It’s been a day since he was dropped on Earth by a transport ship that left him by the borders of the Sacred Lands of Korin. From there, he would have to find his way to climb the Sacred Tower and reach for Kami. His instructions was to seek the guardian in order to formalize his desire to help protect the earthlings, as he would be the only one who could truly instruct Nemo properly in this redemption-like enterprise of his. King Lutuch also gave him permission to reveal his identity as a patrolman to Kami, but told him to keep it a secret to everyone else, but the planet’s overseer. At this point of the story, Nemo had already made his way through the sacred lands and was already climbing the tower.
Nemo knew he would have to climb it without cheating through the use of special techniques, else Kami would send him back down. He took the opportunity to make it a different sort of training. It is not every day that you get to climb a tower that is higher than mountains and stretches up to the clouds. The namekian wondered how long it would take him to reach the top of the lookout. He has already been moving up for quite some time and has already passed cloud level, meaning he could no longer see the base of the tower. It was a good thing though that he knew how to fly, though, as even if he couldn’t use it to reach the top, if he eventulally fell for one reason or another, he would have means to avoid becoming puree.
Soon enough, he notices a dilatation above. It must be where the tower ended. Little did he know, however that it was merely half the way he would have to climb and it was where a very peculiar character resided. A few more moments and he reaches circular holes which would provide him an entrance to the structure. Once up, he looks around to see some sort of room; apparently someone resided there. Nemo looks around, looking for proprietor or whatever he could call someone who lived in a place like this.
– “Hello? Is anyone there?” –

"No!" said a voice. It was the kind of voice a cat would make if he was trying to imitate a hillbilly.
Quince was, as he had been for the past few hours, on the floor and looking up. He could just barely lift his own body weight; standing was a luxury that could not be often 'enjoyed'. Around the cat was a large room, most of which was covered in highly-distinguishable layer of Blue Fur™.
"No, no-one is here. There's only that blue cat on the floor who likes to speak in third person, but he's neither important or able to stand. Shuddenta had 'em Bao Burgers™... Oh, you look important! Ya here to give catnip to a lil cat?" Quince said, a sudden burst of energy pushed him to the ground directly in front of Nemo. Oh no, he's doing that 'Big Eyes Thing that Puppies Do'™ and everything...

Nemo hears a purring voice stating there was no one in the house. That causes the scarred namekian to look around the fur-covered room for the source of the sound.
– “What do you mean no? I can hear you… are you a telepath or something?” – Nemo inquires puzzled, as he is unable to perceive the sarcasm in the senbyo’s speech… or any sarcasm at all, since he tends to take things literally. The cat-god insists that there was no one in the room. The namekian looks around to for the blue cat (whatever that was as he wasn’t familiar with Earth’s fauna yet) that Quince mentioned.
– “Uh… I don’t understand…. is someone here or not? I need to speak to-“ – Nemo is interrupted as the furry one appears in front of the scarred warrior in a speed rush. This one should have at least some mastery of the ki to be able to move like that. And indeed, he emanated a life force stronger than those of the common humans in the planet. Perhaps he was the one Nemo as seeking?
– “Catnip…uh… no… I’m here to speak with Kami? Are you him?” – The clueless alien inquires.

"Huh, you really are clueless, aren't ya? No, I'm not a telepath, although perhaps I simply forgot I was one. Kami? I think I've heard that word before. Heh, uhh... Yeah, I think I'm Kami. Or I could have just misheard 'catty' instead. Wait, no! Yes, I remember now! Oh wait no I don't.
Quince fell towards the ground face-first in confusion. It seems someone asking him if he was Kami was too confusing of a question for it to properly be thought out. Getting up with a jump, Quince pointed a clawed 'finger' at Nemo's foot, which was as high as he could reach.
"You confuse me, green man. If we play, I'll be sure to remember! Can we, can we?"

A big sweat drop forms over Nemo’s head as Quince started to talk. Has this cat fellow been smoking his senzu beans? Of course that is a thought of mine and not Nemo’s, as the greenie didn’t know what these beans were, much less that Quince cultivated them. Anyway, Nemo kept on staring the senbyo with a puzzled look when the weird individual jumped up pointing at his feet.
– “You…don’t know? What do you mean you want to ‘play’? Is this a test of valor or something?” – The clueless namekian questions.

"A test of valor? Uhh... sure. I'll tell you everything you want if you pass the... test of vally-vally, yeppers. It's quite simple, you see. It's a game I made and I'm the World Champion. It's called 'Who's the bluest?'! I've never lost!"
Ah yes, the fabled game 'Who's the bluest?'. If it was around during the time of chess, surely it would be far more popular. The reasons why Quince would be the self-proclaimed world champion of the game are numerous, but the main one is as such: Quince is very blue. Very, very blue.
"Can I call you Green Bro?"

According to the senbyo, yes… it would be a “test”. Oh poor namekian for being unable to understand irony; he just provided the cat god the perfect justification to validate his “game”. It would be a simple gymkhana… to win, you just needed to be the bluest. Geez, NEmo… put those neurons to work..
~ “That’s not fair, you have a genetic headstart!” ~The greenie complains, thinking Quince was actually making it a serious test.
~ "But I suppose that’s part of the test…” ~The clueless namekian says lookingaround the fur-covered room. It was then that Quince inquires about the possibility to call him Green Bro. The namekian then smirks, as a small bulb pops above his head (you know… the figurative illustration of one having a good idea).
~ ”Not for long” ~ The alien responds and then relaxes his base, bending his knee joints slightly and clenching his fists as if about to power up. He does this in a controlled way, of course, as to not lay waste to Quince’s room. Suddenly jolts of electricity appear around the namekian’s body, resultant from the energy generated within his body. The static force begin to draw the loose fur to Nemo and the namekian begins to move around the area to draw more fur to him. Soon enough, the patrolman is looking like some sort of blue It Cousin with an antennae sprouting from all the hair. The naïve warrior stops in front of Quince:
~ ”So… Did I win?” ~

"Jeans Attic Head Start? Does I look like I have jeans on my head to you? No, I don't have an attic. You're weird."
Quince was even more clueless than Nemo, if such a thing was even possible. He was even more confused when Green Bro seemingly said having an attic and using jeans as a mask was all a part of the test. No, no no no! You need to be blue, attics and jeans have nothing to do with it! Quince was immediately taken back by the blue aura. He was so amazed he didn't even hear the million-dollar vase falling off of the shelf, the vase he was certain he'd never seen before.
"Whuh? That's cheating! Oh, fine. But don't think you're the only one who can do that!"
Trying to imitate Nemo, an blue aura surrounded Quince... Which quickly gained a very green tint.
"Oh come on! Huh, fine. You win... you. Whatever your name is."

After the humorous brief dialogue between the clueless duo, where none of the parts seemed to be able to perceive what the other mean, the senbyo finally conceded victory to Nemo on his “Who’s the bluest” game after his little trick with static electricity. The ingenuous warrior, he actually believed he passed a god’s test of valor. Nemo shakes his body, causing the fur to disperse and his full image once again be visible without all that blue. Quince seemed a bit upset for losing in his game.
~ “I’m am the warrior Nemo. Can you tell me now whether you are Kami-sama or not? I believe I have passed your test” ~ The namekian interrogates.

"Nemo? I love that movie! Oh, what were you saying? Oh yes, uhh, for honorably defeating me in blue-ness, I will give you super secret super hero mega super secret information. My name is Quince. My name is not Kami. That is because I am not Kami."
The blue kitten Quince looked over to the unintentionally-imposing figure with green skin. He wondered what he'd want with 'Kami'. Didn't that pink thing Zexama say something about a Kami? No, I think I'm mistaken.
"While I am not 'Kami', I'm pretty much a cat god. I think. I hope. Anyway, if you want to know where Kami IS, which I think I remembered, you'll have to pass another 'test of vally'. It's simple, really. Just open this!" exclaimed Quince, showing Nemo the unopened can of tuna that he had retrieved from the deep abyss within his fur. "It's a shame no one has invented cat-friendly can openers yet."

~ “Movie? What’s that?” ~Nemo inquires, oblivious to the traditional pastime of earthlings. Also, it seemed the blue cat wasn’t the one Nemo was looking for. He was called Quince, actually. It was a good thing then that the namekian didn’t reveal anything about the Patrol mistakenly to this peculiar character then…
~ “If you are not Kami, who is? And where can I find him?” ~ The gree skinned warrior interrogates yet again. To this, Quince replies that he is actually a cat god, but no formal “Kami” and hands the patrolman another test (according to him, actually); opening a tuna can. Nemo looks at the small tin object on the senbyo’s paw and takes it, placing his pinkie finger on the small handle and pulling it open.
~ “Here” ~ He says, handing the food to Quince.
~ “I don’t understand… I was told I could find Kami on top of the Sacred Tower… If he is not here, where could he be?” ~ The puzzled namekian wonders.

((Oh dear, this is very late!))
"Wha-? Are you saying you've never heard of a movie before? You're weird."
Quince was very skeptical as to Quince opening the tuna up. After all, can-opening was a delicate art that only the can-openers, after decades of intense concentration, could master. And, as the history books clearly state: the lack of can-opening ability is the only reason cats no longer rule planet ee-arf, as they had in Ancient Egypt before Mr Can decided to have a stab at inventing. Quince shook his (non-opposable) fist at the sky in anger, giving absolutely no context as to why. That was when he suddenly saw a green man standing in front of him, it took him a few moments to remember who Nemo was without 100% success.
"While I am not 'Kami', I'm pretty much a cat god. I think. I hope. Anyway, if you want to know where Kami IS, which I think I remembered, you'll have to pass another 'test of vally'. It's simple, really. Just open this! Wait, hang on... why is this thing already open? What evil warlock are you that can open tin cans with your mind? Ah, you want to find Kami, sure. I saw where I think you're talking about, and a girl made of bubblegum mentioned him once. I think. Maybe. Anyway, he's up. Way up. Real big up up. Just fly up, a bunch. No, I mean it. A LOT. UP. REALLY REALLY REALLY UP."
"Does that help?"

OOC: It's alright man. Lol... can't help but love Quince's personality XD
The senbyo seemed to be incredulous of how fast the green skinned alien managed to open his tuna can. It seemed he has beaten another of the cat god’s “tests of valor”.
~ “Well… It’s no mystery… you got claws, don’t you? Have you tried using them?” ~ Nemo suggests. It was then that he finally got the answer he was expecting for. Kami’s location. According to him… well… actually apparently according with a bubblegum girl…. Kami lived way above Quince’s tower. He suggested he would take a flight from there.
~ “That indeed helps! Thank you very much… Mr… I don’t know your name yet…” ~ The patrolman points out.
~ “And just one more thing… Does that mean the actual test was to only climb the tower until here? Kami won’t send me back down if I go flying from this point on?” ~ Nemo wants to make sure.

"My claws? Are you mad? I need these claws to be pristine so I can properly ruin furniture! Hang on, didn't I say my name was Quince already? Your memory is worse than mine! Who are you again?"
Quince scratched his head in confusion, something he did often. He had completely forgotten 'Nemo' was a name, but rather had a sudden desire to go to 'P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney', wherever that was. Fourth wall? What fourth wall? Meanwhile, Quince started to lick the tuna from the opened can, delighted, almost forgetting there was a green man in his house.
"Uheh? Wha-? Just do whatever you want. Although, if you want, I can fly you up!"
Miserably failing to whistle, a sickly-colored yellow cloud flew up to Quince.
"It's called a Nimbus. I suppose you could fly up... or you could fly up with style."

Nemo couldn’t conceive the idea as to why the cat god wouldn’t use his natural tools to make his daily routine tasks easier only to maintain his claws sharp enough so he could destroy furniture... which Nemo understood as being his own, since Quince seemed to live by himself on top of the Sacred Tower. Perhaps he was only a temporary tenant? Or perhaps he would leave the tower more often than the patrolman imagined and was talking about other people’s furniture? Either way… he judged it was best not to delve too much in that subject. He also seemed not recalling not introducing himself to the namekian.
~ “No you didn’t… but nice to meet you, Quince” ~ Nemo responded. Perhaps it was the patrolman who forgot the senbyo had already introduced himself amidst those strange “tests of vally” he had to take?
The blue furred cat seemed to be ok with him flying from this point on. Perhaps he should take it as a sign that he has completed Kami’s own test of valor? Problem is that Quince seemed to be almost as clueless about things related to this planetary guardian so I can’t say the greenie was all confident in the feline creature’s response. But then, he offered to fly him up “with style”. Well… I suppose a ride wasn’t a bad idea at all.
~ “I would appreciate that, please” ~ He answers, waiting for Quince to get this… Nimbus of his. The namekian elaborates in his mind whether he meant it in the literal sense or if that was a sort of spaceship or vehicle named liked that. After all, in a hundred and eight years of life, the green skinned alien saw many weird things and people. And he could definitely count Quince as one of them. Both in the “thing” and “people” sense.
