Chapter #5The two catgirls by: irven Cowering behind the nearest rock, you listen intently. The sounds of hisses and purrs continue, and you can see giant shadowy forms moving in the distance all around you. You're pretty well hidden behind this rock, since there's also some plants close by that provide almost perfect cover. From here, you look around and plan your next move.
"Alright... so there's giant... things here," you mutter. "Of course. Why couldn't I land on a planet with aliens my size? Weird, though... that alien looked almost human, except for the cat parts of course..."
As you consider what to do next, you feel the ground shaking, and see two giant creatures approaching. They're both of the same species as the previous one, and you get a better look at them now. They look very humanlike, but have some odd characteristics. Most obviously, they're giant compared to you--you must be no more than five or six inches compared to them, making you compare yourself to a mouse in front of these cats. They both look like they could easily hold you in a single hand like you were a small doll.
Other than their size, they have other weird traits: they have cat ears instead of human ears, and cat tails too. Their legs are furred and end in paws, and their hands have only three fingers apiece plus a thumb. One of them is bigger and has a much more mature figure than the other, who appears to just barely be old enough to be called a teenager. The older one has tan skin and black fur with piercing green eyes, while the younger one has lighter skin color and dirty-blonde hair with blue eyes. Both are wearing what seem to be leather clothes, but they appear primitive, as they cover only their chests and privates. They also seem to have tribal markings on their skin.
They're talking to each other, but you can't understand them. Luckily, you have your translator earpiece, which you activate and start listening to the catgirls with.
"...and I'm ashamed to say it," the older one says.
"C'mon Gracaga, I didn't do too bad, did I?"
"Yes, you did! You didn't catch a single animal, Lisnaca! I thought I'd trained you to be a better hunter!"
"I AM a good hunter! There just wasn't any good prey around!"
"There were plenty of animals you could've caught! You're just too gentle... You can't stand the thought of hunting and killing, you can only eat what's already been killed. You'll never survive on your own without your sister Liana hunting for you."
With that, the older catgirl makes a loud "hmph" sound and hurries off, leaving the younger one standing there all alone. She sits down on a nearby fallen pillar and hangs her head, sniffing softly.
You sit back after watching this exchange, thinking over what it taught you. First, there are giant catgirls living here who are civilized enough to have clothes and tribal markings, and relationships of teacher and student, but still seem primitive. Second, there are creatures around that are likely your size, since the catgirls mentioned prey, and you can't imagine them hunting and killing anything too big. Third, this catgirl, Lisnaca, is apparently "gentle" and can't stand the idea of killing creatures.
With this knowledge, you have two options. First: approach Lisnaca and hope she's friendly.
Or, you can follow the older catgirl, Gracaga, and see what she's up to. If anything, this option would also let you explore a bit, at the risk of getting murdered by a catgirl. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
