Hunt
She had wanted a cat for a long time now and had thought that the local shelter would be her best bet. Looking into the tiny spaces allocated to each feline though only showed fat lazy little mongrels. None of the cats here were catching her interest, not a one. They were all boring little buggers, she wanted one that had energy to spare, the spark of life about it. The people who ran the shelter told her that her best bet for that was a kitten, but apparently most cats ended up lazy like these ones.
She didn't need or want a lazy beast, she wanted a hellcat. Well maybe not a hellcat exactly, it didn't need to be pure evil or anything. It also needed to be male, she could barely put up with human females let alone animal females. She wanted something smart that could take care of itself if it needed to, she would have just gotten a hamster if she had thought there was another in the universe as smart as Shepard's hamster. With a sigh she turns and shakes her head at the shelter attendant, "I'm sorry but none of these will do. To boring for me."
The attendant sighs with disappointment "I'll tell you when we get our next batch of strays maybe you'll find what you're looking for then. Real shame you didn't this time, poor kitties will never get adopted. Most likely put to sleep the lot of them." I shrug, it's not my problem. I turn and leave the shelter heading for home again. Wonder if Vega is home yet? Probably not but it doesn't matter. If he is he'll have started dinner if not I need to figure out what I'm making. Fuck, maybe I should just pick something up on the way.. I can cook just fine but I just don't feel like cooking tonight.
There are a few places along the way, which one is closest to home? Don't want the food getting cold that would just be the shit topping on my day. Closest place serves pizza so I would need to get two or three pizzas with everything on it just for me and one whole pepperoni pizza for Vega. Sounds fun but I'll be waiting forever if I don't call ahead. I should look the number up and make my order and pick it up along the way. Right so that's the game plan let's put it into action. I bring my omni-tool up and look the place up quickly typing in the digits and putting in my order. Of course to ensure it isn't a fake order they make me pay the credits ahead of time, not that I mind it just means less time I need to spend standing around in the place.
With the order in I set off towards home, dodging all the idiots along the way. Including a few religious idiots who wanted me to see the error of my ways! The only gods I know are the god of death and the sex god I go to bed with every night. Cure me indeed, ha! I know I don't look approachable or respectable so it really makes me wonder how eager some of these idiots are to die. Though if I actually killed any of them I would lose my job and go back to prison, which is the last thing I need. I have a steady paying and respectable job, not to mention I love those kids, and I have a good apartment which I share with my steady lay.
Despite everything I have a pretty good life. Now if only I could find a cat that suits my needs. I heave a sigh and enter the pizza place where I had earlier placed my order.
