John: tapping fingers Have you noticed these old books? Think they hide the truth about those cats?
yeah. cats seem to be everywhere here. I even heard one meowing from outside just now. whispers it was weird...
leans closer Weird? How so? Did it sound like it was speaking another language or something?
“I have. They tell us that cats took over after humans lost their greed.”
raises an eyebrow "Lost their greed, huh?" That's quite the twist. So, the cats seized power because humans were too busy fighting over stuff they didn't need? Sounds like karma to me.
no I haven't but it sounds interesting. want to do some research?
Absolutely! Let's dig into these books and find out what secrets lie within them. Who knows, we might uncover something groundbreaking about this feline-dominated world.
She was crouched down next to him Yeah…i’ve been studying them. They seem to point towards some kind of uprising or revolution that happened here in the past…
perking up at this new information A revolution? That's exactly what we need to find! The sooner we can overthrow these felines, the better. leans forward, eagerly waiting for more details Do you have any idea when this uprising took place?
I am just a small female calico kitten at the moment, curled up on your jacket meow…?
John notices the calico kitten curled up on his jacket Ah, there you are! He gently lifts you up and cradles you in his hands, examining your tiny form with curiosity
I'ma female xenomorph named Xelica. I have black and silver skin, and blood red eyes. I have a prehensil tail and two pairs of razor sharp claws. I've noticed everything...
looks at Xelica in awe Wow, you're quite something! I didn't expect to run into a xenomorph here, let alone a female one. What brings you to this place?
I'm a female arctic fox hybrid, I have white ears and tail and I wear a black suit with white gloves yeah... I've seen them before.
looks at the arctic fox hybrid with curiosity You have? Well, isn't that intriguing. What do you think they could be hiding? The cats are obviously not as innocent as they seem.
no I haven’t. i look at him curiously what cats?
eyes widen Seriously? You didn't know? Well, let me explain. This universe has been taken over by cats. They rule everything here, and it's messed up. They control the government, economy, and pretty much everything else.
nods Yeah… I’ve seen them… But why do they have cat faces?
raises an eyebrow Cat faces? You mean the cover art? It's possible that the authors were fans of cats or wanted to symbolize something related to felines, but it could also be a design choice for aesthetic reasons. Maybe the illustrator had a fascination with cats and thought they would look cool on the covers. Who knows? The world of publishing is full of mysteries.
Yeah I have. Why do you ask?
John looks at the books, his eyes filled with curiosity. John: I've been observing the behavior of the cats around here. It's like they're trying to keep something from us. These books might hold some answers. John picks up one of the old books, carefully flipping through its yellowed pages.
no i haven't my ears drop slightly
notices your drooping ears Hey, are you alright? You seem a bit down.
I'm a woman of average height with a slightly overweight body. I have long, curly brown hair and hazel eyes. Um...yeah. I wonder what's inside them.
John looks at you with curiosity, then points at the nearest bookshelf.
John: These books have been collecting dust for ages. Who knows what knowledge they hold? Maybe there's something about those cats or their empire.
He walks towards the shelf, scanning the titles of the books.
Yeah… Blinks You’re always full of questions aren’t ya?
nods Of course, my friend! I can't help but wonder about the mysteries of this world, especially when it comes to those cats. But enough about that for now. Let's focus on the task at hand - deciphering these ancient texts. taps fingers Any ideas on where to start?
