[grid/main/muis] Your beady little eyes open. You are sitting in a room full of scavenged goods repurposed for your rodent size. In fact: you are a rodent, a mousegirl. @ A trans mousegirl.
[grid/main/muis] You get out of bed and consume half a slice of Swiss cheese and a crumb of spirolactone: one 100 mg tablet can last you about a week. That is a benefit of being mouse sized. @ On the other paw, you are an easy target for critters that are larger than you, which includes a lot of creatures.
[grid/main/muis] Today you're doing some risky business: you need to go out and steal some food and medication. Do you look like the kind of mouse who has a job? Cleaning dishes with these tiny paws? Bah! @ Only problem is, the owner of the house got a cat as of late. It might be because of you, you're not actually sure. Like hell you'll be stopping E anytime soon!
[grid/main/muis] What do you do?

[grid/main/muis] That's very funny, isn't it. While mice and rats are well known for their lack of bowel and bladder discipline, you are a mousegirl: phenomenologically different from the house mouse, but similar in appearance. @ While you may have lost control of your bladder in the past, your hole is no place to piss, as there is no plumbing.
[grid/main/full/choice]
What is a mousegirl, anyway? > start/b1
Proceed. > start/a2

# b1
[grid/main/muis] A mousegirl is an anthropomorphic mouse who is a woman. You're not a human woman, that's for sure. Take note that common practice in the English language is to gender all unsexed animals as "it". @ By calling yourself a mousegirl, you are gendering yourself as a youthful woman who is also a mouse. Is that a good enough explanation for you?
# a2
[grid/main/muis] Even though cats are often nocturnal, you think it's your best bet to sneak out when it's late. Who knows, the cat might be asleep at her owner's feet while you're out thieving the goods. You wish you could sleep with someone. Last time you slept with someone it was with a somewhat rude shrew about a year ago. You don't really know what happened to her.

> music/house/loop
[grid/main/muis] You sneak out cautiously. The air reeks of cat, catgirl to be precise. @ Oh fuck. Not only did the owner get a cat, but a whole damn catgirl. That thing can reason, it can think. I suppose that's the double edged sword of sentience. Unlike a simple predator, unyielding in its' autonomous chase, it can deceive you. @ Maybe you can be the deceiver in this situation, if you play your cards right. Or maybe a straightforward approach could yield fruit, or vegetables even.
[grid/main/muis] You come face to face with the catgirl. She has a solid meter on you height wise. You have no time for puns such as "cheesed to meet you" or "to whom am I squeaking to"? @ Now is the time for passionate rhetoric, and then possibly passionate romance. If things go south, running is possibly your best option. Cats are ambush predators, and you're both out in the open.
[grid/main/kat] I see this is the mousegirl problem the owner told me about, @ Well, what's it gonna be little lady?

[grid/main/muis] If I may so convince you not to chase me and rend my flesh asunder that would be preferable.
[grid/main/kat] I'll humor you, pest. Make it quick.
[grid/main/muis] It seems we can both reason with one other, so why don't we make a deal? It seems we are both "girls" insofar as we are women with animal characteristics. @ Though we are somehow not afforded basic human rights, it would be in our best interests to act as if we were given such rights. Thus it is morally unsound to kill me in the event that I am hypothetically trespassing on your owner's property.
> grid/main/loccat/out
> grid/main/locthin/in
[grid/main/kat] The cat hesitates, possibly lost in thought or suppressing her animalistic prey drive. @ Hopefully the first option is occurring.
[grid/main/kat] You have a point, rodent, but you I'm pretty sure you are trespassing.
[grid/main/muis] Think, dammit, think! You can't just come up with a flimsy excuse in this sort of situation. Make sure no sound openings are available for the cat.

[grid/main/kat] How about I hypothetically do this to you then:
> start/z2

> music/away/loop
[grid/main/kat] Perhaps they could, maybe getting a catgirl was their way of taking care of it.
[grid/main/muis] I'm not completely sure they were aware of my presence. By the by, do you have any spare estradiol? That's actually why I'm here. @ Why do I need to eat yucky human food anyway?
[grid/main/muis] At this statement the cat promptly places you under an overturned cup. It's far too heavy for you to push, what does she intend to do? She leaves you alone for a few moments.
[grid/main/kat] The cat returns with a single 20 milligram baby blue pill of estradiol. "Here," she says as she opens the cup and tosses the fist sized pill into your lap.
> grid/main/locthin/out
> grid/main/locpill/in
[grid/main/muis] Thank you, catgirl.
[grid/main/kat] Don't mention it.
[grid/main/muis] You retreat back to your mousehole, hungry but satisfied that you live for another day and that you may have a new ally in this wretched house.

[grid/main/muis] The words stumble out of your tiny mouth. That wasn't even funny. Was it intended to be a joke? @ The cat seems flabbergasted at this statement, and then promptly begins a pounce. It seems today is not your lucky day. Soon enough your flesh shall be torn asunder, as you tried to avoid.

[grid/main/muis] Tell me, catgirl, are you perhaps transgender? I noticed you are wearing a trans flag sweatshirt, just as I myself am wearing a similar albeit mouse sized trans flag sweatshirt.
[grid/main/kat] Oh uh. Yeah I'm trans. What does this have to do with not pouncing on you and promptly biting your jugular vein?
[grid/main/muis] The fact that we share an common ingroup is why you should not end my life prematurely. We are oppressed in similar ways, catgirl. In bonding together we can be resilient against our mutual and non-mutual oppressors.
[grid/main/kat] You have a valid point, pestgirl. Yet what if the owner wants you gone still?
[grid/main/muis] We either convince the owner to take care of a cute little trans mousegirl like me or, you put on an act. Chase me, but don't kill me. Sounds like a good idea?
[grid/main/kat] Hopefully the first option is a viable outcome. If not, Well... let's just see.
[grid/main/kat] The catgirl gets on her haunches and starts a full sprint towards you. Your little body tries to run, but all this talk and anxiety have made you exhausted. She gives you a full tackle hug and pins both of your arms.
> grid/main/locthin/out
> grid/main/locend/in
[grid/main/kat] "You're pretty cute for a mousegirl," she remarks, eyes wide as she kisses you passionately on the lips.
[grid/main/muis] "Ha ha. and you're a pretty good kisser for a catgirl." you dizzily exclaim.

[grid/main/muis] You run like hell, better to starve for a day than be clawed to death. You don't even have time to think of a snarky reply for the catgirl. That's how scared you are.
[grid/main/kat] You think running will save you, @ little mouse!?
> grid/main/loccat/out
> grid/main/locatt/in
[grid/main/muis] Suddenly wires in your brain labeled "scared" and "affectionate" get screwed up from this cat's phrase: little mouse. @ You're absolutely out of it in the romance zone. Could you brain be so kind as to not screw up in a life or death situation?
> grid/main/locatt/out
> grid/main/locbla/in
[grid/main/muis] You collide head first with a wall at full speed. You black out within seconds. Perhaps blacking out was the best outcome in this situation. Probably not.

[grid/main/muis] In your moments of fear all rationality evaporates from your mind. A cat can easily chase you down if you're not careful. @ You're going to have to get on your knees and beg.
> grid/main/loccat/out
> grid/main/locthin/in
[grid/main/muis] Oh please Catgirl don't kill me! I am but a humble mouse on the lookout for estradiol pills to fulfill my medical needs! Please have mercy.
[grid/main/kat] You sure are begging for your life there, tiny nerd. I'll show you some mercy all right. Come here now.

[grid/main/muis] The cat picks you up by the tail— it's intensely painful but thankfully not fatal. You squirm in the air as you search for purchase of a surface. The catgirl exits the house through the cat flap. She tosses you out unceremoniously, like a piece of garbage. Tears are streaming down your face. It seems you've been evicted. At least you're not dead.
