Tama of Tomeowrrow

Wet Hot American Bummer

Ava entered the bridge with a confident stride, Sara and Nyssa close behind her. "Gentlemen," she greeted, then added with a smile, "and gentlecat."

"Ooh, Director Sharpe. Joining us, are we?" John remarked, his tone playful.

"Is that a problem?" Ava asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not for me, love," John smirked.

"Good, because we're headed back to the '90s to infiltrate a place called Camp Ogawa," Sara announced.

"Oh, sneaking into a military facility, are we?" John inquired, intrigued.

"Actually, it's a summer camp for kids," Sara corrected him.

"Oh, I loved summer camp. Everyone used to call me 'Kid Counselor,'" Ray said cheerfully.

I hopped onto the console, lifting my paws at Ava.

Meow! Up!

Ava picked me up into her arms, petting my coat gently.

"According to the timeline, before the end of summer, several kids went missing, never to be seen again," Nyssa continued, her tone serious.

"Bet you took that as a compliment, too, didn't you, mate?" John chuckled.

"Well, because of my leadership skills, obviously... Right? That's why," Ray said, a hopeful tone in his voice.

"Mm-hmm, yeah," we all nodded, not wanting to hurt his feelings.

"So, uh, any idea of what kind of foul beast we're up against, then?" John questioned.

"Based on the research Sara, Nyssa, and I have been doing, we could be looking for a swampy monster thing," Ava said, still petting me gently.

"According to the timeline, before the end of summer, several kids went missing, never to be seen again," Nyssa continued, her tone serious.

"Well, I happen to know a Swamp Thing. But then again, Maine is way too far north for that muppet," John remarked.

Ray, ever the optimist, chimed in, "We used to use the buddy system to make sure everyone was safe. And this is where Nate would say, 'I'm your buddy,' and we'd do a fist bump or a silly jig or—"

Sara cut him off with a directive. "Well, we are shorthanded, so I need you to partner up with John."

John gave Ray a smirk. "Oh, don't worry, dreamboat. I've had stranger bedfellows than you. But just so you know, I'm not one to get all gussied up for a gig, all right?"

"Tama, go help Z with the Shapeshifter," Sara ordered before leaving the bridge.

Meow! Aye Aye Sara! I meowed out, hopping down from the console. With a light bounce in my step, I made my way to the lab.

Charlie's screams and yelling echoed through the monitors as Zari and I enjoyed a box of donuts together.

"Ms. Tomaz, the prisoner is growing quite unruly," Gideon reported.

"Tell her to knock herself out," Zari said, taking another bite of her donut.

Crash

"Aww. I take that back," Zari whined when Charlie literally knocked herself out on the barrier.

"Damn it, not on my watch," Zari sighed, turning off the barrier. She went into the cage to check on Charlie, who suddenly woke up and headbutted Zari.

"Whoo! Ha ha!" Charlie laughed, locking Zari in the barrier.
