Screenshot of a Drawpile session, featuring badly drawn cats (one of which is a professional cat chef as indicated on the chef hat, pointing at a badly drawn pizza), Kai (male Aasimaar OC) pouring suspiciously vibrant water on the pizza, with Max the seagull on his shoulder laughing. To the left, Lemon Sorbet (female Elezen warrior of light with silver hair) laughs hysterically at everything happening below, with text pointing to her that says "local chaos addict". A cat holding a gun (maybe) says "Hello, my name is CAT. I have come for thy drawings. DO NOT RESIST". The cat below points upwards and says "everything written up there is a really good idea". The pizza chef cat points to a pizza, which says above "goodness insideTM". Below the pizza and the cat is written "mamma mia homie it looks tasty MMMMM". Kai says while pouring the water, "It would be a shame if something happened to yo pizza :)".
