...In hindsight, I have no idea why I even held this vote. But hey, Axl Rose got 1 more vote than I expected. Though World Domination won with 15.

quote:

You awake to the sound of Andre's voice and distant laughter filtering in from outdoors.

"Hey, sleepyhead," Andre says to Claire, perching on the curled arm of the couch. "Helmut's got some of his record-company buddies over again. I bet you're glad you got a few hours' sleep."

Claire groans and stretches her arms toward the ceiling. You eye them both with interest. Something or someone smells of food.

"Moon is asking for you," Andre continues. "Apparently I don't read Hairy Maclary right."

Claire rises from the couch, kissing Andre on the cheek and muttering curses on the neighbor called Helmut. The details are lost on you because you're distracted by your stomach—the aroma of something cooked and meaty has set it grumbling. You arch your back and yawn before investigating where the source might be, starting with Andre.

"Yep, time for us to hang, Morgana," says Andre. He smiles as you circle him, sniffing him closely.

"Sorry, chicken curry again for dinner!" he calls after Claire, as she blearily heads for the door.

"Good thing I like chicken curry," she calls behind her.

The question is, do you?

-Hell yeah! I'm zipping around the room at the mere mention of it.
-It's tolerable, but not half as comforting as confit of duck.
-I'm hardly fussy. I eat out of garbage bins.
-Hell no. It plays havoc with my intestines.

So faithful viewers, what's our opinion of chicken curry?
1. Hell yeah! I'm zipping around the room at the mere mention of it.
2. It's tolerable, but not half as comforting as confit of duck.
3. I'm hardly fussy. I eat out of garbage bins.
4. Hell no. It plays havoc with my intestines.

It helps the player buy into the game and there's no lasting consequences for either of you. Seems a smart play to me?

Anyway.

It depends on how they're implemented and the ratio of fake to real choices, imo. I like them more for fluff scenes(like the cat dream :v:) than for choices that look like they should affect something but actually don't.

And having too many fake choices in a game just feels like lazy padding. Some games are good about it, but others...not so much.

I can't imagine that anyone wouldn't like chicken curry, but we did 2. dream of duck. All the more reason to aid our fellow power-hungry female mammal in her quest for more power and status--when we are rich we shall have duck, and until then we shall deign to share her curry.

I know that non-choices are common in these games, but I expected World Domination to boost Feral at least. Anyways, we ended up with 1 vote for remembering our Garbage eating ways, 4 for curry, and 7 for our beloved duck. So let's complain about duck!

quote:

Your stomach growls as Andre wanders off, grabbing his guitar and standing at the window. You follow at his heels, meowing. "Careful, Morgana," he says. "I just about stepped on you."

Which was the whole idea. Cat fact number 57: When humans step on you, they feel guilty and give you stuff. For example, food—or massages. You stare up expectantly as Andre parts the net curtains to stare into his neighbor Helmut's garden.

You follow his gaze across a lawn and to a fence. Beyond it, dense shrubs have been forced into animal shapes, then shot through with sparkly outdoor lights. There is a marble-tiled patio whose border is hemmed in by dahlias. On the patio itself, shiny-looking people are gathered in circles, talking and clutching wineglasses. They nod and gesticulate a lot, like whatever they're saying is important. The furrows in Andre's brow say he thinks this is quite serious.

"That guy there, Morgana, that's Jose James," he says gravely, as if the name meant anything to felines. "He's Music Factory A and R." He squints again through the glass. "And that woman in blue is Saima Osman, head of marketing. That is a powerhouse gathering over there."

We are just learning so much about cats today. If you ever wondered why your cat tries to get you to step on it, this is why.

quote:

He lets the curtain fall back and goes over to his amp to turn it up to full volume. He winks at you, like you're party to some private, hatching plan. He goes back to the window to open it a little. Your stomach growls as you realize that wonderful smell from before happens to be coming from this Helmut guy's patio. Those people are gathered around a barbecue.

"So, Morgana," Andre whispers, "let's see if we can get their attention."

Andre, it seems, has not registered your hunger. Nor is he noticing your stomach's loud insistence. It actually looks like he's going to play that guitar again instead of feeding you.

"What do you say, Morgana? A song, and then we get some food?"

-I'll humor him. With luck he won't guess that I'm in it purely for the food.
-I'll go along with it. It seems really important to Andre.
-I'm going for that barbecue, starting with leaping through the window.
-Go and claw at the door. I want confit of duck, you idiot. Now!

Oh dear, now we have the choice between music or food. Remember, this decision impacts how much Andre likes us. But also when we get fed. So do we...

1. I'll humor him. With luck he won't guess that I'm in it purely for the food.
2. I'll go along with it. It seems really important to Andre.
3. I'm going for that barbecue, starting with leaping through the window.
4. Go and claw at the door. I want confit of duck, you idiot. Now!
