SS: yeah, it's been a while. Oh, if you know the series, this is crossed over with Pet shop of Horrors. Woot!
It was a quiet night on china town. Vlad masters came for one reason, and one reason alone, to get to the infamous pet shop, the one owned by the count.
Walking in, a voice called... "come in. Welcome my lord, to my humble shop."
Vlad did so, cold swift in his observation of the shop. When Skulker suggested the shop, he knew that it may be dangerous. Very dangerous if this is really were the elf got most of his more exotic creatures. But he wasn't here for the stronger creatures, he came for one simple animal.
A cat.
He swore never to get one, but he was lonely. And as Skulker, kindly pointed out, it would enhance the evil mastermind personally he was exhibiting. But the best place to get one would be here.
"How may I help you, we sell dreams, hopes and desirers."
Vlad smiled at that. "I'm here for a cat."
"We have many cats, are you looking for a particular breed?"
"No."
The count lead him to a back room, one that the building should not have had, but Masters was un perturbed. When one lived with one foot in the next world, one tended not to be, even at the oddest of things.
Opening a door, the count reveled many women, dressed in gowns and dresses of many colors. But his eyes were drawn to that one, the only one that mattered, Maddie, but not. She was wearing a beautiful full length white dress, mimicking the waves of the wind.
"You most certainly do sell a man his hopes and dreams, but such things are very dangerous. What's, the catch."
"Only the contract, three items. You have made your choice?"
"Yes. I'll take this one." The form shimmered slightly, he knew that she wasn't Maddie, she was indeed a cat. But he also knew the moods of a cat. "She will continue to show me that form, correct."
"Yes, but only if you don't break the contact...
Feed her fresh fish and clean water...
keep her well groomed and brushed...
and burn this incenses every evening...
