[A4A] Cat Tails-Part One [A4A] [Personal Attention] [Medical Exam] [Neko Listener] [Anxiety relief] [Rescuing] [Extra Voices]
Storyline- Nekos have always had it rough; some can be pets and servants to owners who love them…more or less… while the rest can be the hottest item on the black market. Organ trafficking rings seem to have found another use for some unfortunate nekos. HPO or “Hybrid Protection Organization” have been trying to track down and end one of these rings for months, and they finally get their chance after a tip-off leads them to the trafficking ring's front door. As they manage to bust in, they are met with a lot of death and a lot of nekos who desperately need help; one of the Officers comes across an injured neko, refusing to leave the side of their friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ Creepy dark ambiance mixed with a city warehouse, the traffickers are dragging a few cages into their "operation room," Neko Listener is going crazy in their cage ]
Goon One: I said, SHUT UP!
[ The cage is struck ]
Goon Two: Get this one out and on table one, and get that one out and ready on table two
[Cage door is open, struggling sounds]
Neko Friend : No...No!! Le-let me go!!
Goon One: Stop struggling, you stupid half-breed!!!
Neko Friend: No!! Please!!
[Straps being put in place to keep Neko Friend in place. Sound of Medical tools being placed on a table]
Goon Two: Shit…
Goon One: What's wrong?
Good Two: We've run out of sedatives [Pause, Sigh] Just make sure the little freak is strapped down good; I don't want it moving around too much. The boss will dock our pay if the organs are damaged.
[Cage door is opened]
Listener: [Hisses]
Goon One: Out you go!
[Struggling noise]
Goon One: [Struggling to get Listener under control] Ah! Stop it!! Just stay still!! Enough!
Neko Friend: [Let's out a cry of pain]
Goon Two: Shit!! I thought I told you to strap this one down good!!
Goon One : [Still struggling with Listener] Well, just give me a second!! And I'll fix it- [Listener bites them ] AHHH!! You little shit…it bit me!!
[Goon One smacks Listener, then running sound]
Goon Two: Now look at what you--Catch it, you idiot!!
[Gunshots and yelling from somewhere off in the Warehouse]
Goon One: What was that!?
Goon Two: Don't worry about it! Just get that neko!
Jenna/James: [Muffled] HPO! On the ground now!!
Goon Two: Oh, forget this!! I'm not going down for this crap!
[Running away sound effect, more muffled gunshots, and yelling]
Goon One: [To Listener] Count your days half-breed… I'm coming back for you!
Listener: [Hisses]
[Running away sound effect. Listener trying to unstrap Neko Friend]
Neko Friend: [Weakly] I…I feel…cold…it hurts…
-----
[If you don't wish to do or don't have any extra voices; here is an alternative way to open the audio]
The alternative opening starts here.
[Outside city soundscape. Radio beep]
Jenna/James: [Talking into a Radio] Okay guys, ready on my single…and remember, if you can try and get some of the perps, but our main goal is getting as many of the nekos as possible.
Jenna/James: Alright, Go!
[Radio beep]
[Running sound, doors being busted open, some gun fire]
Jenna/James: HPO! On the ground now!!
Alternative opening ends here
------
[Sounds fade out, then back in with more police chatter]
[Radio beep]
Jenna/James : [Talking into radio] No worries, Cindy, I'm just going to do one more sweep to make sure we got everyone, but take the more critical nekos back to the clinic now. Thanks.
[Radio beep]
Jenna/James: [Under breath] Alright, let's get going
[Footsteps, warehouse sounds]
Jenna/James: God, it smells like death here…which isn't so far-fetched. Neko Organ trafficking is messy, rotten stuff . [Sad] I wonder, how man y- [Cut themselves off] No, I can't think too much about that. Right now, I need to focus on the survivors.
[Something falling over]
Jenna/James: What was that? [Notices something] Blood trail? Looks like someone was dragged; hmmm…it goes this way.
[Walking, door opening, Something shuffling]
Listener: [Growls and Hisses]
Jenna/James: Whoa, whoa… it's okay; I'm not here to hurt you, see? I'm putting my weapon away and-Ah! Hey! No need to take a swipe at me like that [Pause] But I get your point. I'll take a few steps away from you .
Jenna/James : I'll just crouch down here, okay? I won't move any closer. [Thinking to themselves] You look okay, a few surface bruising and scratches, and judging by your attitude, you still got some spunk left in ya [soft chuckle] Easey now neko, I said I wasn't gonna get any closer, I know you older ones have some pretty sharp claws. But I really think I should have a look at your friend there.
Jenna/James: Your friend is in some pretty rough shape, [Sharp intake] They are losing blood, and judging by how hard you are pressing against the wound, you know that.
Jenna/James : [Soft and gentle] I know you don't trust me, and for good reason. Some pretty shitty humans did some pretty shitty things to you. It wasn't the best introduction to my species, I know. But if you don't let me help your friend, I don't think they'll make it past the night. You understand that, don't you?
[Linster seems to stand down a little]
Jenna/James : [To themselves] Okay, ears are going from down to up…their body is untensing itself. Those are all good signs.
Jenna/James: I'm going to get closer; my name is [ Jenna/James ], and I'm just here to help.
[Rustling in a bag]
Listener: [Growls]
Jenna/James: Ah, ah! I'm just reaching for some gauze , it shouldn't take us too long to get back to the other's, but I want to make sure I get your friend in a somewhat stable condition. [Deep Sigh] This is going to be a big ask, but can you move your hands from the wound? Just for a second, I'm going to press the gauze down .
[Listener does so]
Jenna/James: Thank you.
[Sound of gauze or fabric being shifted and pressed]
Neko Friend: [Whimpers]
Jenna/James: [Gently to Neko Friend] I know, I know. It doesn't feel nice; just hang on for a little longer. Your friend is still here; they haven't left your side, okay, kitten? Just hang on.
Jenna/James: I'm gonna have to do another big ask. May I carry them?
[Listener agrees]
Jenna/James: Thank you [To Neko Friend] alright, ready, I gonna lift you up on three, one, two, three-
[Lifts Neko Friend up, fabric sounds]
Jenna/James: Now, please follow behind. I know you don't have a lot of faith in me, but I don't want to have and try and chase while I'm carrying your friend. Okay?
[Walking sounds, then everything fades out, and the city night soundscape fades back in. The ambulance door is shut and then drives away with a siren]
Jenna/James: I'm sorry you can't go with your friend, but I promise you are in good hands. Now let's- [Notices Listner trying to sneak off] Hey! What did I say about trying to run off? I need to make sure you are okay. Surface scraps are one thing, but internal wounds are a whole other mess! [Annoyed Sigh] Just, please sit on the curb.
Listener: [Growls]
Jenna/James : Okay, how about this, if you behave, I'll give you some smoked salmon; I always keep some in my car for nekos who behave.
Listener: [Cute Meow]
Jenna/James : [Laugh] Oh ho ho! Bringing out the innocent act, are we? Well, as long as you behave while I look you over, I'll hold up my end of the bargain .
[Blanket being shifted]
Jenna/James: Don't worry, it's just a trauma blanket; you are shivering .
[Listener speaks]
Jenna/James: [Repeating what Listener said] You aren't afraid, just cold- [Surprised] Oh! You just spoke! That's good! It's really good… [Calmer and kinder], but please don't feel like you need to talk. After what you've been through, it's okay to just sit and be silent; it helps to decompress things.
[Blanket is wrapped around Listener]
Jenna/James: And the Blanket can help you, too. It'll keep you warm.
[Rustling through a bag]
Jenna/James : Alright, this is a pen light; I want you to face me but follow the light with your eyes.
[Pen light click]
Jenna/James: [Trying to stop Listener from grabbing the light] Ah! Hey! No grabbing! I said just follow-hey! [Laughing slightly] Come on catto! Settle back down, and just follow the light with your eyes. Face forward and follow.
Jenna/James: [Softly] Good..okay, we are going to go this way….good, good. Look up for me…then look down, back up…aanndd…great! Nothing seems amiss.
[Pen light clicked off]
Jenna/James: Now, I know you can understand me, [chuckle] It's the listening part that we have a problem with. Anyways, I still want to make sure your ears will react properly to noise, so just sit tight.
[Finger snapping on the left ear and right ear]
Listener: [Hisses]
Jenna/James : Ah! Sorry, didn't mean to get that close, but ear flicks are a good sign, so no worries there. But now I need to move a little closer and…well, I need to touch you.
Listener: [Growls and hisses]
Jenna/James: [Trying to calm Listener down] I know, I know. You don't want to be touched for obvious reasons…and I really don't want to have my eyes scratched out for other obvious reasons. But I need to make sure nothing is broken and if anything needs stitches. I promise I will go slow and gentle, [Pause] But, I won't start until you say it's okay.
[Listener agrees]
Jenna/James: Thank you.
[Sound effect and checking limbs to see if they are broken]
Jenna/James: Nothing feels broken on this arm; let me see about the other one
[Sound effect and checking limbs to see if they are broken]
Jenna/James: [Sharp intake] Sorry, sorry. It hurts. I can tell [Pause] Yeah, this feels a little…off. The bruising is a pretty dark shade of purple ... do me a favor; open and close your hand. [Pause, to themselves] A little bit of a difficulty, we'll keep an eye on that.
[Rustling in the bag]
Jenna/James: This might feel cold. I'm going to listen to your heart and lungs; ready? [Pause] Okay, just breathe normally for a second.
Jenna/James: [A little concerned] Hmmm…let me listen to your lungs, turn around for me. [Pause] Okay, deep breathe in, then out. [Pause] Breathe in again, then out [Pause] One more time [Pause, then sounding concerned] Does it hurt…to take deep breaths?
[Listener says it does]
Jenna/James : It does…yeah, judging by the sound I was hearing, I thought it might [Deep Sigh], but we can't be sure until we do some X-Rays back at the clinic. Speaking of which, I am all done, and you deserve that treat I promised. Come on, let's get to my truck.
[Walking, then car door opening]
Jenna/James: Hop in the back [Pause, gently]. I know, catto, you still don't trust me. But I need to get you back to the clinic [Thinking on to convince them]. If your friend wakes up and doesn't see you, think about how scared they might be.
[Listener hops into the car]
Jenna/James : Cross my heart, I'll get you to them. But first-
[Car door closed, another is opened, and Jenna/James gets into the driver's seat, the door closes, and the car starts]
Jenna/James: It's time for that smoked salmon I promised-
[Plastic container being opened, and Listener trying to get into the front seat]
Jenna/James: Uh! H-hey! What are you doing? Just stay back there, and I'll- [giving up] oh fine, whatever, you can hang out with me in the front seat. Here .
[Listener eats the fish]
Jenna/James : Hey! Slow down there catto, you might choke! [Sigh] But I don't blame you. It's pretty good, right? Nothing beats wild-caught salmon smacked with aged apple wood. My dad's old recipe. [To themselves, sad tone] You poor neko, you probably haven't had a meal in a week…god, I can't even imagine what they put you through.
[Car driving]
Jenna/James : Mhm? What was that?
Jenna/James: Oh, you are welcome. But there really isn't any need to thank me. It's my job, and it's something very important to me. Some humans don't see much in you nekos. But sometimes, I think there's more humanity in your eyes than humans have in their entire soul.
Jenna/James: Aww, that was a big yawn. For how feisty you are, you can make the cutest faces .
Listener: [Growls]
Jenna/James : Okay, Okay…I get it. [Laugh] But still. Rest. You need to sleep, and I mean proper sleep. It'll be a few hours before we reach the clinic, so get some shut eyes for now.
Jenna/James: Yeah, just rest; here let me fix your Blanket [Pause, whisper]. Went out like a light faster than I thought, you poor thing. But don't worry. It's all over now. And I swear, I will never let any hurt you ever again, [More conviction] I swear.
The End
