Project Update: It's a regular day in Kalusa and you are a cat, what will you do? (pt. 3)
This is part of a choose-your-adventure story you can find on our BackerKit page
The light catches on the bone dice beautifully and you simply can't help it. You bap it across the room, it bounces off the table leg and disappears under a chair. But it's not that hard to find, as it starts pulsating with a purple light and low, strange weeping sound. Instead of a number, it came up on a image of a fish skeleton.
The shop owner taps the sign and then points at the man's pocket, looking at him expectantly.
“Wha – I – it's not even broken! And I didn't even touch it! It was the cat!”
Another tap on the sign.
You can hear some more protests and finally a jingle of coins, you are not paying attention though – something smells fishy here. No, really! Where is the strange smell coming from? You start running.
For some reason the man runs after you.
There's a huge commotion when you arrive at the pier short while later. People are running, some away from the water, some towards it, everybody is screaming, everybody is pushing. In the distance you can see ships scrambling to get away from something – oh, that's a big fish! Too big for you. Plus it seems to be able to spit fire and is very much undead. Eh, you are not eating that. Rotting flesh is not your thing.
You turn your attention back to the dock just as another push comes and somebody stumbles out of the crowd towards the water – a beautiful, tall, well dressed orc lady, obviously from a very well-off family. She starts to fall – but at the last second a hand catches her and pulls her back to the edge.

It's the man! Well you have to confess that was a good catch, especially for a human, but now they are looking at each other funny. Will they fight? Oh, of course, humans – they will lick each other mouths now, right? The next second though, she gets whisked away by her entourage.
The crowd disperses. The orca has fallen apart before lighting anything up on fire and nobody has drowned so the citizens of Kalusa are left mildly disappointed.
The man looks dejected. He sits down, pulls out a sardine from his pack, turns to you and asks: “What now?”

Oh no. The sardine looks tasty, though...
