Recruiter From The Other Side

The Black Void - Episode 3652

As I stand pondering my options and the drastic changes some of them are going to imply, the automatic door whirrs open but at first glance noone comes in. Looking down I realize that a fluffy white Persian has entered the room. It's pretty big for a cat, but still small for a human, and I think about what I have just been told about shrinking. Could that be...?

The cat stops and looks me up and down.

It shakes its head.

It opens its mouth.

It... speaks to me.

"You look like you'd make a fine cat. Are you sure you want to be a dog?"

I stare at it in disbelief. "Wha... buh..." Great, the cat is more articulate than I am!

The cat sighs and tilts its head. Her head. Its voice has a distinct feminine tone, so I assume it's a female. "Sorry, I mean... meow?"

I keep staring, the sense of unreality I've felt since I came here blown away. This is real! Either they are playing a pretty advanced trick on me, or they really can turn people into animals.

Giving me up for the moment, the cat gets to her feet - all four of them - and walks over to the tall woman. Glancing down I notice that the Persian is wearing a tight-fitting diamond studded collar, probably similar to the one they showed me. "Hey Doc," she says. "I think I broke her brain. Sorry about that."

Finally finding my voice again, I...

  1. tell her to get lost, my mind is made up. Next time we meet I'll chase her up a tree.
  2. ask her some questions about being a cat.
  3. pick her up and pet her.
  4. pick her up and try to remove her collar to see what happens.
  5. point to the opposite wall and ask "What is that?"
