Pretty Kitty Petshop

Kitty

You throw your arms around him and go for a kiss.

Ironically this is exactly a tactic he has used in guys in the past.

You feel something - lots of tiny somethings - stab into your arms.  You look down and see they're bleeding very slightly.  But more than that you suddenly feel... dizzy.  And his illusion breaks.  You see his true form.  Not a human with fox-like features.  A fox with human-like figures.  White fur everywhere, a snout, fangs, paws... and spiky armor made out of vines.  Dripping with some strange liquid.

"...Are you OK?" he asks.

You are not, in fact, OK.  Everything is spinning.

Kitty

"Letting you... what... meeeeeee...?"

The world fades to black.

When you wake up, you're on the inside of one of those cages in the large pets section.  This one's big enough to be comfortable.  It has a bunch of wood shavings on the bottom, a fluffy bed to curl up in, some little plastic toys, food and water dishes...

Looking around, you see Awkward in the cell next to yours.  He's still asleep.  Someone should probably wake him up.

A lithe, light-blue-haired cat is sleeping in the cage on your other side.  He's wearing an orange headband and a brown, sleeveless shirt.  A pair of green boots sit beside his bed.

The blonde girl you de-edited is sitting in a cage across the aisle.  She's sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest.  You can't tell whether she's awake, but a small white key is hanging just beside her cage.  You're not sure why, but that seems lucky.  Her case display name is "Thief Cat."

One of the cages next to her contains a short, bipedal sheep-thing with long ears and piercing blue eyes and an acorn-styled hat.  A belt around its waist makes its thighs look poofier than they already are.

On the other side of Raine is a guy with spiky, lilac hair and green eyes.  He's wearing red shorts and a black shirt with fingerless gloves.  "Ugh, let me out!  I keep telling you, I'm not actually a fox!  It's just a name!  I'm a human!"  His nameplate says 'Jude Fox.'

Another employee walks up to him.  She's another cat, but with darker blue hair and fur.  She has a blue tunic on under her apron, and several star-shaped pins attached to it.  "Now, now.  If you don't behave yourself, no one's ever going to adopt you!  Come on, give me a smile."

"I'll smile when I've got my hands around your neck...!"

"That's... really morbid.  Please stop."  The employee - her nametag says 'STELLA!' in a pretty script - turns to you.  "Hello, there.  I think I got all the poison out of your system.  I guess you're our new guest, huh?  Your tail's super-cute!  I'm sure someone will take you straight home!"

Kitty

You take out the Bird Horn.

"Huh?  What's that?  Where did it come from?"

You blow the bird horn.

You shortly hear a whiny, female voice calling from the small pet area.  "Sto-o-o-o-op..."

A small canary comes flying into view.  It does a quick circle around the room.  Stella takes notice of it and her ears and tail perk up.  "Where did...  Um...  I shouldn't...  I need to...  MROWWWW!"  She leaps at the bird, and it flies out of her reach.  She leaps again, and again, the bird desperately flying away from her.  Stella finally manages to corner it.  She crouches down on all fours, snaps her tail, and pounces at it.  The strap on one of her sandals snaps loudly.  Instead of a graceful jump, she slides along the floor, crashes into a shelf, and gets buried under an avalanche of cat toys.

...

A few minutes later, two new employees arrive.  A brown-haired cat and another white-haired fox, this one an older woman, dig her out.  They take away her apron and look around for a moment, then decide on Awkward's cage.  The fox lady unlocks it and lifts the lid while the brown-haired cat picks her up by the waist and the scuff of the neck.  Stella doesn't resist as he sticks her in.  The fox locks the cage and the pair leave.

Stella, sans sandal, sits on top of the sleeping Awkward and pouts.

Kitty

You open up the editing menu and turn the brittleness of the glass up to 11.

Kitty

You kick the wall and it explodes into a shower of tiny glass fragments.

Stella and blue-cat jump and start meowing at the sound. The group in the aisle across from you saw it coming, but are still staring at you in surprise.

You start blowing a bubble.

Awkward continues to sleep, apparently, despite the noise and the now-panicked cat sitting on his back.

Kitty

You try to do those things, but neither of those people are there. You expect them to come running, but they don't.

Instead, that bird that was in the cage earlier flies over. Somehow, she's able to twist the very laws of aerodynamics to fly lazily. She looks at all the glass on the floor, then turns towards the register. "Hey Le-e-e-eviiii? Where do we keep the broom?" She looks back at you. "You aren't hurt, right?"

For some reason, she's now wearing one of the employee aprons over her nightgown.

Kitty

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Clean-"

"Do these people look like pets you can sell?"

Stella is meowing loudly. The sheep monster stares. Blue-cat is curled up in a cat bed, also staring.

"I feel like... you want me to say no..."
