《CATastrophe》7 - Suspicious CATracters.

Holly's POV...(Not sentimental and as dramatic this time)
I went up to the door to the convenience store, and then I pulled the door open. I then proceeded to enter the store. There was a small jingle, as there was a bell that normally notified the owner of a customers arrival.
I looked up in shock at that bell.
If an hostile enemy was here, they would know that we were here and would have the advantage to attack.
I looked at the bell, and I snagged it.
It is mine now, and now instead of enemies using it against me, I will use it against them.
The inside of the store looked normal, at least for a human, and everything was lined up neatly in columns.
But to me, it looked, and felt exceedingly odd.
Is this is the place humans obtain their supplies? Why does it look so weird? Also why do humans have other different kinds of shops, when they could just go here and obtain their daily needs easily?
Chow was excited. He was jumping up and down, and his tail seemed like it was wagging, at the speed of light. He was sniffing around and examining each and every good at the store.
Why is he so excited? Don't dogs normally come to these kind of places? Dogs normally get a lot more freedom than cats, and I heard they go to petshops a lot. So why do they always get so excited?
Dave looked calm, which made sense because it was just a normal convenience store. Something he had probably seen every single day.
How envious...
"We should gather some high-calorie food, bandages, and fresh water. We should also gather some common medicine, and some toilet paper." said Dave "Wait - Holly are you and Chow going to use litter-boxes or something?"

Don't lump me in with that mongrel.
"Do you take me as a common house-cat? Naturally I can use the human's toilet. But I do not think plumbing will work anymore, so toilets are out of the question. Why don't you try to use the litter-box, hm Dave?" I said with a disgusted expression on my face.
Dave tightened his fists, and then with an annoyed look on his face as he bit his lip, mumbled to Chow "Well then, how about you Chow."
Chow was looking at the food products eagerly, as he exclaimed happily "O-h don't worry about me! I can just go do it outside! I don't even need toilet paper"
Gross. Did he just learn how to talk completely, now? Heh, goes to show how my species is superior than his.
"Oh." Dave said embarrassed as he slowly took a single toilet paper roll, and put it in his bag.
I started to look around for some appealing food-stuffs. The store had a lot of human food, but there was barely anything that was even remotely appealing for cats.
I packed in tuna cans, and meat. There was no cat food, so instead I chose some more meaty foods, that I would like.
If my body is like this. Then I would probably be able to eat regular human food as well.
Thinking of this, I took a few types of food, like veggies, and candy.
Food can take up a major part of my goal. If the world does not possess food, then everyone will starve and need it. If I can take control of the food-source, I will effectively be able to control the populations of humans and animals as well.
I had an excited grin on my face as I thought this, and even if the amount of food we had right now was little, If someone was starving, we could take control on a smaller level.

I took more food from the shelfs, and stored it in my bag.
My ears perked up as I heard a subtle rustling. I could hear voices whispering in another room.
"Who do you think they are?" whispered a deep male voice.
"Shhh. Be quiet! You seen what those cats can do! What if they hear us!" said a frantic female voice quietly.
"We can just fight them you know. I doubt those three can put up a fight between all of us." said a different gruffer male voice.
"How many times do I have to say this you idiot! Be quiet" whispered the female voice again.
"Fine, fine." said the first male voice.
How suspicious.
"Dave, Chow." I called.
'Hm" said Chow curiously.
"What?" asked Dave, annoyed.
They walked over.
"There is someone in the backroom."

Gina the goblin, Dungeon Extraordinaire
Goburi was a goblin, a very poor goblin and now that she was dying that meant one thing, she could not even pay the toll to cross into the afterlife. Goblins worshipped gold, gold watched over them and Goburi had never earned or lost a mote, finding herself to be something of a heritic. Like most descisions in life it had felt like the nobler pursuit at the time, but with the darkness closing in, she realized how terrified she was. Even if she had died in debt, the great elusive glimmer in the depths would have put her soul in a new body, bringing with her the debt and some vague memories. Another chance to die in the black. Goburi's last thoughts were dark specters of regret chasing themselves in circles of thought until she prayed for it to be done. She really had no idea where the souls of goblin heritics went, it had never really happened before. A new dungeon was born, a crystal of pure magic containing a soul that failed to pass to the afterlife. As it gained awareness something else came through that was never supposed to be there. Memories of a workshop, and an uncomfortable need to earn gold.

Mana World - Convergence
The story is complete it was a prototype and it is BAD.I do not recommend reading it, I will not edit it in any form, it is still here as a personal remained of how bad I was at the start. Mages are soo cool but without mana you can't become a mage. Well let's see how we can get mana to this world. I'm sure it would be a perfectly safe and excellent idea. First try at writing something like this. Dunno if I will update constantly or not, dunno what will happen with the story and the characters. Recipe: 3 cubic meters of science, 5 shit tons of pseudo science, 2 dantians of mistycism,1/2 cup of stupid references, 1 package of sarcasm, 1/400 tolkien epicness, 1 tea spoon of stupid commentaries, a pinch of craziness and dressed with randomness, uppps, too much randomness. Accepting all kinds of constructive criticism. Well prologue is finished.
