[You're in a neighborhood of six homes, each roof matching the color of the six teams. Of course, you are carrying the key to your own house, and you'll find yourself walking to the front door as background music begins to play to match your new, bright technicolor life.

You feel the urge to go inside and once you're in, the compulsion is gone. Once you walk in, you will notice that your joints have been replaced with ball joints and your skin feels more like porcelain. Even if you're covered in fur or feathers, they have a smoother texture that feels more fake than anything. Your movements might also be a little bit stiffer than what you're familiar with, but nothing hurts. Despite everything, you still FEEL like you're in a human body (or whatever body you normally have).

Your clothes are also matching the role that you've chosen, but there's additional lace and frills attached to the hems and such.]

"Oh-waa-aa . . . I woke up, wowaa-aa-aa... Okay, okay, lets have fun...? I had a dream about family sitcoms so we can do that . . .

Ummmmuuu . . .

Will you pick a room for me...? Zzz..."

It's okay, you don't have to pretend. I already know you're a government spy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

I don't think cats can spy for the government. Meow.

Well, someone's gotta listen in on every household and telepathically report back to the superiors.

Everyone knows cats aren't real.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

You mean... I'm not a cat?? Meow?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

A very convincing drone!

[good kitty!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

But... I feel like a real cat. I meow and probably chase mice and everything. Meow!

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

You wouldn't be very convincing if you didn't!

You're performing exactly as you should. We'll rout out those lizard people yet!

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

My life is a lie... Meow...

There, there, kittycat. Happens to the best of us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Am I still a good kitty even though I'm not a real cat? Meow?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wants_the_phd]

A very good kitty. A good kitty that deserves steak.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Yay, steak!

Re: DISCUSSION

[finalbows]

Are any of us? Is it possible? Can one dream to be a good kitty, even knowing, deep in their heart of hearts, exactly what they are is just wooden parts?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Nope! Only I can, because I'm the only good kitty! But the rest of you can dream to be good whatever-you-ares!

Liar.

Why would I lie to you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[catposting]

I dunno, maybe a cat pissed in your dinner once and you're holding a grudge.

[puts a hand on his shoulder and looks into his eyes]

Look, kiddo, it's those cold-blooded insurrectionists that are trying to destroy society, and the government that's looking out for us.

You can trust the government. The government knows all, sees all. They have our best interests in mind.
