Finally, a new installment of Sin! Sorry for the delay, guys, and I promise I will try to update much, much more regularly!
As always, I only own Sin. J
Terminating SinI'm in Man Cat's LAIR! It's PANTHER's job to protect it. I am on his desk and he is sitting in his chair, tapping his pen on paper. He reaches for the thing he talks into, and pushes buttons. I want to push buttons. I creeeeep over and reach one paw up to the talking-into thing. I try to push buttons but Man Cat sticks a paw out and pushes me away. Huh. I sneeeak over to his paper that I protect him from in the big jungle and sniff it. Then I LEAP! and land on it. But it doesn't run away like the evil paper in the office.
Man Cat picks me up and plunks me on a little pillow he putted on his desk for me. I sit and look at him. He wants me here? Ok. Maybe it is nap time. I lay down. I get up and spin around and lay down again. I do not feel like a nap. PANTHER's can't nap when they are on the job. I must work. Man Cat puts the talking thing down and types on his black thing. I sit and look at his toes as they move fast over the little buttons, and then I sneeeeeak over and watch his toes some more. They are moving fast. I reach out and tap one with one paw.
Man Cat's toes stop moving and he looks down at me. Then he shakes his head and his toes start moving again. I look around. There are papers on his desk, and more stacked in little hidey-holes. They look evil. I stare at them. They stare back. They say they are going to eat Man Cat alive.
No one eats my Man Cat. Except me.
I crouch down, and I wiggle my bum and twitch my tail. This warns the evil paper that it cannot eat Man Cat. Evil Paper stares back, so I twitch my tail and LEAP!!!
And the hidey-holes go flying away into the big ocean underneath the desk, drowneding. And I almost fall in too! But Man Cat catches me as I fall off of the desk. Another evil paper pushed me. Man Cat looks at me, and puts me back on the desk.
"Menace." He tells me. That means he is proud I saved him from the evil paper that wanted to eat him alive. I sit at the edge and look down, down down, at Man Cat while he makes sure the evil paper is really dead. This is his job. I make it hurted so it cannot hurt Man Cat, then Man Cat finishes killing the paper that does not die right away.
I decide Man Cat does not need PANTHER to protect him from the paper now, and go look around to make sure there is no more danger. I look at his big black thing. It is not danger, but it looks like a toy. I reach out and push down on a button with my paw. It goes "click" and falls down. When I let go it pops back up. Hm... This is weird. I push another button, then I climb up and walk across the buttons and they go "click click click." I like the clicking noise. I jump and walk and leap! and click lots of buttons. Then the black thing makes a "ding!" noise and scares me. I leap off the black thing and sit in the middle of the desk. Man Cat stands up and looks at me. I watch him. I didn't do anything! But his black thing tried to attack me.
I should go attack it back. I go back and LEAP! on the buttons and they click click and then I decide to lay down and guard. It is good to guard.
I lay and guard the black thing until Man Cat comes and lifts me off. "NOT a cat toy." He tells me. That means I did very good guarding the black thing, and now Man Cat will take over.
There is a pencil on the desk and I push it around, and then it falls off into the ocean - it is dead now. I look around for something else to guard and then the door opens and I jump and spin around and see Tanky!! Hi Tanky!!! I run to the edge of the desk and look down into the ocean. I cannot jump that far. I will land in the ocean and die like all the evil I attacked. I lean waaaay over and look at Tanky! I want him to come see me.
"Uhhh..Boss?" Tanky asks. He does not come in. I want him to come in. I swing a paw at him. He looks at me quickly then looks back at Man Cat. Man Cat looks up. "Did I fuck something up that badly?"
"What're you talking about?" Man Cat asks. He sounds bamboozed. I am bamboozed when my evil ball runs away and I can't find it. And when God cuddles Rex-Rat.
"I was just wondering what I did to warranting being terminated." Tanky says. He sounds bamboozed too.
Man Cat narrows his eyes. "Let me see." He says. Tanky holds out a paper, and Man Cat reads it quickly, then looks at me. I smile. I was soooo good - I helped Man Cat make sure Tanky came to visit! Man Cat leans back. "The black devil fired you, not me." Man Cat gives me the death glare. Uh Oh. Did I miss some danger? I prowl around looking for the danger, and attack an evil pen so that it falls into the ocean and dies.
"The cat?"
"She was walking on the laptop. Must have sent that to everyone by accident. It was only supposed to go to HR and Stine."
"Good call on Stine." Tanky said. Man Cat pressed buttons with his toes again then a machine started whirring. I watched the machine make an evil paper move through it. I tried to attack it, but Man Cat snatched it away. He handed the paper to Tanky.
"Here. I just emailed this off to everyone. Post it on my door."
Tanky looked at the evil paper and started to laugh. "ATTENTION: If you wish to know why you were fired today, ask the cat. All employees are expected to disreguard the notice of termination and report for their next shift as scheduled."
"Kinda unprofessional, Boss."
"Might as well have fun with it." Man Cat made his eyes roll like God likes to do. I try it too but my eyes don't roll. They just cross over and make me alllll dizzzy. Tanky laughs and leaves, and closes the door to Man Cat's lair.
Man Cat leans back in his chair and looks down at me. He points one finger between my eyes. "You're fired." He tells me. That means I did very, VERY good guarding his lair today, and I can now take a nap on his lap. I like taking naps on Man Cat's lap. I creeep down the desk onto his legs. They are warm and hard. I snuggle up and lay down, and look up at Man Cat. I love him.
Man Cat looks down at me. He loves me too. He shakes his head at me and makes a big breath. "Babe's damned lucky I love her."
