Remember, Tybalt's powers extend to basically every quality - he can just make you take for granted certain details in favor of focusing on specific ones. As Kataklyzein, it's probably as "he's a powerful ally of Apeiron" as opposed to "wait, he's a cat." That's why people just roll with him being a cat - because why should it matter?
On that same note, Tybalt can do that with his own secret identity. "Yeah, he's Kataklyzein, but look at how cute and harmless he looks! I don't care that he's also a cape, but he's just so adorable with that weapon of his out!" even as he walks to them with a superweapon, and the terrifying part is? Nobody will see it weird. Even Aisha needed to have it be explained to her with prior warning, seeing the effect in action, and some resistance to Stranger effects as a result of her own power.
God, Tybalt's stranger ability is so strong it messes with my head on meta level.
Also, it is beyond terrifying. It's like Nice Guy
but worse cuz Nice Guy at the very least wasn't demigod of war.
Actually, have an omake:
Jack Slash and absolutely perfectly normal cute kitty cat
Patience is virtue, Jack Slash learned that much during his time as leader of Slaughterhouse 9. Entire world is hurries somewhere, runs as fast as it can but for what? Or, rather, to where? After all, there is nothing ahead, no finish line with shiny prize and cheers of fans awaiting the fastest runner. So let them run and run, tripping over each other and breaking legs in process. Jack will bid his time slowly walking forward and whistling catchy tune meanwhile.
Borckton Bay certainly was an interesting place. Dangerous, but interesting. A storm in which eye resides the most powerful tinker ever walked surface of earth. Apeiron. One wrong step and storm will tear you apart. But why hurry and get away or get in, if you can
sit in the bunker and wait until eye of the storm will be right above you?
Sneaking into city was't challenging at all. With PRT and Protectorate at total dismay and gangs doing something that can be described as dancing on minefield Slaughterhouse 9 arrival went unnoticed by anyone.
Jack lazily glanced from the window to a pair of bodies lying in the kitchen.
Well, by
almost anyone.
Actually, where is Bonesaw? Shouldn't she take care of this mess already? Most of them can't sleep next to bunch of corpses. It's unhygienic after all. Ned and Alan with Riley's creations couldn't care less of course, but he very much did.
Jack exited his apartments and moved to the third floor, to apartments Riley took for herself. Usually she and Alan shared room together but Alan's obsession with Apeiron send him into tinker fugue and he was tinkering non-stop since they stepped into the city. Metaphor about storm wasn't so metaphorical: Apeiron will find them eventually but they will make him step into
their territory. And Alan will ensure that they will have every advantage possible.
Riley's door wasn't closed which caused Jack to rise a brow. Good Girl Riley forgot to close the door? That's new. His intuition was silent though, so despite his guts telling him something is wrong Jack shrugged it off and walked in.
Habitually finding his way between various devices, samples and occasional mechaspider, Jack walked into the bedroom.
And found both Riley and Mimi sitting on a bed and gushing about a cat between them. To be fair, it was a cute cat. With his Greek helmet and strange stick with both ends being pointy, cat looked like some cartoon character out of kids show about Ancient Greece.
"Well hello there. Riley, who is your little friend?" asked Jack in his "kindly uncle" voice.
"Oh, uncle Jack! It just walked into the room through the window and I couldn't bring myself to shoo it away! Look how cute it is! Even Mimi stopped playing with fire after seeing him!"
"I certainly can see that" lightheartedly laughed Jack. "Oh? What's that? You want to play?"
"Huh its weird ball" noted Burnscar looking at fist sized ball of red threads that intruder-kitty produced from behind his back. "Why its red?"
"Because red goes faster, obviously" snarked "ball" unfolding into Proto Aima. Burnscar immediately attacked with fire teleporting in the same time. Riley screamed and jumped away from glowing red threads. And Jack? Jack was looking in the eyes of Death itself as its avatar ran him through with Jägerstock made out of very, very cold metal.
<Line break>
"Survey?"
"Yes, Apeiron?"
"Did you see Tybalt and Tetra today? I can't find them anywhere in Workshop."
"They went to the city."
"Huh. Well, I hope they won't end up in the middle of some mess."
"They should be fine. After all, they said that they just going for a walk."
"I wanted to make Disney Land the most magical place on Earth!!!"
