    Summary

    "Posture, ear and tail positions, amount of movement-- it's very important to cats. Cause like, vocalizations like meows are rare in wild populations. Eye contact is important, too. They like to stare, and can go a long time without blinking. Kind of like you."

    You looked back at Wally. He was watching the clouds as they drifted above the two of you, listening quietly to your story. But he turned as you did, and his eyes widened just a touch. He lifted a hand and pointed at himself.

    "Like me?"

    You smiled and laughed, nodding earnestly.

    "Yeah, like you!"

    He tipped his head to the side, looking down at the ground. He stared intently, as if trying to fit the comparison into his view of himself.

    "Oh."

    Or, you teach Wally how to slow blink.

    Summary

    You meandered down the well worn dirt path that wound all the way through Home, swinging your arms as you looked up and around at the sky and neighbourhood. It was quiet-- it seemed like no one else was awake yet, or out of their houses at the very least. Still snuggled up in their beds perhaps.
    Eyes trailing back to the path, you stopped short as they landed on something very odd. You rubbed your eyes and blinked to clear them, but it stayed-- or rather, he stayed.
    Wally lay on the ground ahead of you, completely prone and limp. The hearts on the soles of his shoes were visible, the top of his feet pressed flat against the ground.
    -----
    Or, you help Wally up to his feet.

    A kind-looking man asks if you'd like to take a walk with him, and you can't help but say okay.

    Summary

    Even 70 years after the Great Revelation of the fantastic people to the rest of the world, things have not changed. Between mythical creatures, animatronics and humans, it is difficult not to see the lines being drawn, the tensions already present always reinforced by prejudice and misunderstanding.
    So, when a series of murders begins to create havoc among the population, stirring up inter-genre hatred and anger, the various governments will do everything in their power to try and stop this threat before it causes the established society to sink into the chaos of an inter-genre war.

    But none of this was your problem, you were already too busy trying to survive this world of shaky stability and unparalleled cruelty.
    At least that's what you thought until two Animatronics, tasked with investigating the murders, offered to take you on board in this sordid plot.
    While working alongside these two strange AI's, that you are inevitably getting closer to, will you manage to keep your secret that you are trying so desperately to hide from the rest of the world while stopping the shadows of destruction that have started to walk in the light ?
