Pet Shop of Horrors - Career Day

[braidstobows]

For a pet shop, it's oddly quiet. But the animals seem contented, many laying down or catching a nap with their fluffy tails curled around themselves. The awake ones lightly paw at their long ears or attentively watch passers-by. They all seem to be in good spirits.

They're also all the same breed, with soft and luxurious fur and cutely mischievous expressions. Swirled markings on their fur create a somewhat dramatic effect.

Amid the innumerable myriad cages is Homura, dressed in a uniform and apron that suggest she works here. She does not look particularly like the nurturing sort for her charges. Instead, she stands against the wall nearest the door, with her arms folded across her chest. Once or twice, she bangs on the bars of one of the cages with her hand.

Well Clark's walking down the street, enjoying the sunny weather, and for some reason decides to poke his head into the pet shop. With a polite nod to the clerk, he removes his hat and starts poking around. The strange creatures catch his eye, like nothing he's ever seen before.

"Miss, what are these?"

It was after school. Sayaka had already made a routine trip to the music store, but today -- she had chosen an alternative route as she was homeward bound. She and Madoka had already separated, but she stopped short as she passed by a business she hadn't noticed before -- was that a pet shop?

Curiosity must have gotten the best of her, as she reached forward to push open the door, stepped inside, and began to look around.
