A troupe of traveling players is intercepted by the BBEG and forced to perform for them. You can rescue the troup, but the experience has harmed and scarred them and they are unsure of their pathway forward. They join your encampment, but one of them, a Meowscarada, approaches you and requests to join your particular group more closely. She is a bit of an outcast in the troupe anyway.

Meows constantly pulls tricks, plays devil's advocate in every conversation, and is a PITA in general. However, she reduces difficulty checks, helps you gain friendship with everyone else, and is actually helpful. If you engage her seriously and try to return the favor by pranking her in return and talking smack, she builds trust.

There's an option for you if your relationship gets high enough for you to interrupt her shenanigans with a "not now, Meows" to which the person you're dialoguing comments on how cute you are, "just like an old married couple." Meows goes incandescent red at this and doesn't say a word for a while.

Eventually, she comes to your tent and asks if you actually like her shenanigans. If you say yes, she reveals that she always enjoyed being the life of the party, but others were always annoyed by it, and she's very happy that you enjoy her company. Then she asks if she can show you a trick.

One flower flash-bomb later...

Meows: I got your pants. :3
