"Whiskers?!" Bailey cried out as her fluffy grey cat sauntered in. It had been months! She had been sure someone had stolen him during the robbery.

"Can you pour this Whiskers some whiskey?" Whiskers hopped up onto one of the stools at the counter and sat up like a human with his front paws on the counter.

"You can..." Bailey stuttered. "You can talk?!"

"Mama, I don't know why you're so surprised." He rolled his eyes. He was extremely adorable as he did it.

"No, Whiskers..." Bailey shook her head. "Cats can't talk!"

"And I thought this was a free country..." Whiskers shook his head. "No, there's something I need to talk to you about."

"About who took you?!" Bailey gasped.

"No." Whiskers shook his head. "Why did people push the Bering Land Bridge so hard for the theory of peopling America?"

Bailey just stared at him with her mouth open in shock. When she realized that he was waiting for her to say something, she became very nervous. "Whiskers, baby, it's me, Mama!" She awkwardly laughed. "Don't you remember? My last boyfriend dumped me because I didn't know who won World War Two!"

There was a pause for dramatic effect.

"Did you ever find out?" Whiskers didn't have the right facial structure to smirk, but he really tried to.

"... no." Bailey softly admitted. "I'm... Bad at history."

"Do you..."

"No, Whiskers. I'm also really bad at geometry." Bailey groaned.

"If you don't mind..." Whiskers was apprehensive. "Could I just say one last rude thing?"

Bailey looked up, confused. "What?"

"Geography." Whiskers jumped down from the stool and giggled as he ran away.

Bailey followed him to his cat bed in front of the radiator.

"I'll admit, Mama." He kneaded the plush fabric. He was trying to look even more aloof in front of her even compared to when he was spouting his academic ramblings. "It's rather preferable to be around those less intelligent than yourself. Being challenged constantly? It's tiring."

"Okay..." Bailey nodded slowly as she tried to understand what he was saying. "So... You love your Mama?"

Whiskers looked up at her with his eyes wide and his pupils dilated. Her heart melted into a puddle. She let out a soft happy noise as she scooped him up and hugged him. "Oh, silly soft kitty, I'll never let anyone take you away from me again! Fluff fluff kitty kitty!"

"Oh, by the way," Whiskers stated dryly, "I use the toilet now."

"Whiskers!" Bailey moved him so that she could see his face. He was so adorable! "You're a sweetie sweetie no litter box kitty cat?! My cutie cutie no scoopy poopy baby?!"

Whiskers purred as he pressed his head against her. "I'm staying with you forever. Intellectuals don't say such nice things as you."

Bailey laughed as she bounced up and down. She was too happy to stay still. "I'm so happy. I've missed you so much!"

"And..." Whiskers looked up at her. "I had learned to miss you also."

How Are Chaka Nari's banks?

Nari has three banks which are all one pitch: CV, VCV, and weak VCV.

The CV has a very nice tone.

Her regular VCV is even nicer.

I didn't know what to expect for her weak vcv because her other banks are so soft. Here's a tip for extra weak banks. The P0 flag will make utau not make the samples louder and therefore noisier. She is lovely, but she struggles with long notes given the default resampler. 

Where Can I download Nari Chaka?

The distribution site is here. I don't know if you'll need a booth account to download the banks, but hopefully if you do it's easy to set up.
