Licorice is a highly-evolved mini beast who ran into my house almost a year ago. He excels at sleeping and whining about the wintry weather, but he is kind of cute. A typical dialog would be something like:
Licorice: meow (I want to go out)
Ken: open the front door
Licorice: meow (you mean human, why haven't you fixed the weather yet)
Ken: close the front door
Licorice: return to favorite chair for another round of sleeping
Licorice has been selected to join an elite Cat o' Nine crime-busting team. We're all very proud that he's whipped himself into shape. His new role will involve dialogs such as the following:
Licorice: meow (I want to come in)
Suspect: open the front door
Licorice: meow (I'm here to spy on you)
Suspect: close the front door
Licorice: go to a chair for a round of sleeping and listening
Licorice has completed his first mission, from a house with two suspects and three allegedly starving cats. Here are the amazing results.
while (Suspect1 and Suspect2 are in bed) {
Bruno: *scratch* *scratch* where are all the people? i think they are behind this door object. perhaps if i dig through it...
Boots: (meeeeooooooooowwwwwwww) death is upon us for there is no food
Midge: stares at the other two assessing if there is anything she could add
Suspect1 and Suspect2: roll over and place pillow for maximum sound wave inhibiting
}
while (Suspect1 or Suspect2 is out of the room but not close to the food dishes) {
All Three: run from the suspect to the food dish looking pitiful on the way.
Suspect1 or Suspect2: ignore cats while getting on with morning routine
}
while (Suspect1 or Suspect2 is close to the food dishes) {
All Three: (meow) food please. NOW!
Suspect1 or Suspect2: sigh and feed the cats as they are completely under foot
}
Licorice is now starring in his own reality simulation. Catch him (just try) over at the Bestiary. He's the green cat. Those are his eyes shining through.
