The Rat and Cat Show

Episode 2: HELLO..."𝘚𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴"

It was disgusting. This...Critter Valley.

You thought, as you looked around while running along the streets. The grass was far too green, the Fields far too flat, the sky far too Blue and the sun far too bright. It looked like the TV series.

Everything screams conspiracy, doesn't it?

How stupid are the Smilling Critters that they don't understand this? Behind this Fake Heaven, behind this Fake Place lay only the Low Filthy World and these scientists who are Pure Evil.

But this Pure Evil...

Is you, isn't it?

No, at least you only do what you must.

A decision had started all this.

A decision in which you had no right to participate. Or perhaps you have never had such a right?

Who were you before this rat?

Or even better...

Why the fuck were you  actually here?

Were you the villain of this whole story? Was there a Villain? What separates the good guys from the bad guys? The smiling critters who are too stupid to recognize this fake world? Or those weird scientists who gave you the knowledge of every single one of them in the last days? But even if you knew the answers to these questions, would it really make a difference?

The air is clean and actually refreshing. Perhaps the systems are built into the ground, or the sky is a kind of hologram and consists of hundreds of them?

No, you can't think about that right now. There are more important things.

Today was Thursday, so They have something special. A picnic.

According to the map, there was a small park about 40 meters from DogDay's house. Wooden tables with benches, permanent sun rays and, of course, you can't forget, the other Critters. DogDay's house itself was silly, on your map it looked like a yellow and orange dump. Then there seemed to be a bone in the front that was split in two so it was sticking out the back of the roof.

Did the employees actually build this, or who did it?

Important questions that remain unanswered.

You look up, in the direction of this fake sky. The clouds look normal, as far as you can tell. It's blue, and the clouds are snow white. Many don't have a proper shape, a couple spread out a lot, somewhat circular, but then they get too long.

Can these guys control everything behind the scenes?

You find it idiotic to have to introduce yourself to the Smilling Critters. If they're really that far and know that this whole world isn't real, why send someone there?

If I can't remember everything before this, then they could just erase their memories?

Since all the Smilling Critters will be present, you have to do it perfectly. Each of them was different, some of them are easy to play to. Others though...you have to think of something. To avoid attracting attention or making mistakes, you already have a good suggestion.

I pretend to be mute, then I can only answer her questions with a nod.

You wouldn't say anything wrong anyway, you're not that stupid. Not as stupid as the Smilling Critters who don't understand and don't recognize this God damned Wrong World.
