Tsaiko and Miome theater: bug edition

[tsaiko]

miome was packing in her room when I hear a "Oh my god, what is that?" I, of course, go to investigate. Pretty high up the wall is a fairly large house centipede. I've not seen them around here before, but I recognize it. I tell Miome was it is.

"It's a walking hairball. I don't care what you do, just get rid of it."

Having never seen one before, instead of immediately getting rid of it, I went and got the camera. Got a fairly decent picture of it too. Then I put the camera away, got something to catch it in, and... it was gone. Miome came back from taking out the garbage.

Tsaiko: The good news is, the thing is gone. The bad news is, I don't know where it went.
Miome: You took a picture of it, didn't you?
Tsaiko: Maybe...
Miome: And it disappeared when you were putting the camera back, didn't it?
Tsaiko: Wow. You're good.
Miome: Next time, get rid of it first.
