Homework

So, D gave me an assignment today:

Respond to two of these BONUS POINTS IF YOU DO ALL THREE :
1. Your character is hungry. They’ve found their favorite snack in a vending machine (be it human arms, peanuts, ect). Once they put their money in, Mr. Machine decided not to give them their food. How do they react?
2. Somebody randomly hands your character a live duck. What do they do?
3. Your character is walking down the street when suddenly a cat makes its way into the road. It is promptly flattened by a van. How does your character react?

Here are my results.

“Hola, Senorita Giant! What on earth do expect me to do with this duck?! I have no hands with which to grab him. My paws are too small to keep the duck from falling off of this steep, scary red roof. Meow, meow, meow. Ooh, I bet the fluffy, white cat who has been writing letters to me would like this duck as a gift. I should go give it to her! Can you fashion a leash out of these old gum wrappers? Thanks!”

With that, Old Senor Don Gato was on his way, the duck trailing behind him, thoroughly confused. The journey to the white, fluffy cat was long and tiring and, halfway there, Senor Don Gato was hungry. Luckily, he came across a cat treat vending machine and happened to have two quarters tucked away in his collar. The perfect amount for a Tuna Tastee Treat. He climbed the ladder to the coin slot and used his snout to nudge the coins into the machine. Clink! One coin fell in. Clank! Another coin reached it’s destination. Don Gato used the paw not holding the duck’s leash to push button A3 and eagerly awaited his Tuna Tastee Treat.

It almost fell. The delicious fish flavored snack was just hanging there, begging to fall and, eventually, fall into Senor Don Gato’s belly. He had no idea what to do. Glancing around desperately, he tied the duck’s bubble gum wrapper leash to the nearest post and started throwing himself against the vending machine. The treat refused to budge. Each time, Senor Don Gato ran back farther and farther, almost into the street, slamming the entire weight of his body into the vending machine.

Finally, the Tuna Tastee Treat moved just a small inch. This is it, Don Gato thought and ran back farther than he ever had before. He lost his balance when he reached the curb and stumbled onto the road, where a white molester van immediately flattened him. Distraught, the duck fought against his gum wrapper leash, breaking free to run to Don Gato’s aid. In his rush, the duck white, fluffy tail bumped the vending machine, knocking the Tuna Tastee Treat loose from it shiny metal prison. Alas, Don Gato would never get to enjoy it.
