Even numbers.

Jacky and Molly began strolling somewhat casually when suddenly they came to a dead stop. The two lumps in the distance, as they approached, turned out to be Jaxx and Jay, now covered in a gooey substance.

\"What happened?\" Jacky asked.

\"Jaxx died, but then he-\" Jay stopped and stared. \"Who\'s this?\"

\"I\'m Molly.\" she responded.

\"Where did you come from?\" Jaxx turned around and asked, goo still covering his face.

\"Um... over there.\" Molly pointed to where she\'d just walked from.

Jaxx and Jay stared at her.

\"She was in stasis at some point, then she ended up here via wormhole of some kind. She says she doesn\'t remember anything else.\" Jacky said.

Jay shrugged it off, because frankly, he\'d heard stranger.

\"So... what happened with Jaxx?\" Jacky asked.

\"I died.\" he responded.

\"But you aren\'t anymore?\" Molly asked.

\"Nope.\" Jaxx said.

\"What\'s it like being dead?\" Jacky asked.

\"There\'s more cats than you\'d think.\" Jaxx explained, thoughtfully. \"Oh, hey, one thing I forgot.\"

\"yeah?\" Jacky asked.

Jaxx proceeded to clock Jacky in the nose. Jacky put his hand over it.

\"God dammit!\" Jacky yelped, rubbing his nose.

Molly looked concerned and confused. Jacky cut his recovery short to explain.

\"This is Jaxx... he\'s nice, but he\'s, uh... violent. Very violent.\" Jacky explained. \"This is Jay. He\'s about the closest thing we all have to a leader.\"

\"Are there more of you?\" Molly asked.

\"Uh, yeah. There are. ow...\" Jacky said. \"I guess we should go see them.\"

Jacky extended his arm to Jaxx to help him up.

\"Why are you helping me up? I just punched you.\" Jaxx said.

\"I don\'t believe in violence, but I believe in math.\" Jacky explained.

\"What?\"

\"We\'re even.\"

Jaxx thought about it for a second, then laughed and took Jacky\'s hand. The slimy substance greased the pulling, however, and Jaxx slipped out of Jacky\'s grip.

\"Maybe we could find you a towel.
