QM's prelude:
...
Nah, this is a stupid idea, I shouldn't do this.
Oh fuck, what am I doing?
OH FUCK, WHAT AM I DOIN--
You are a kitten, alone in the world that is a big city.
You don't want to be alone. You know that people--those weird beings that walk around on two legs and do a lot of odd things-- can pay attention to you if they see you.
Obviously, you must find some people and get their attention.
But where?
[] Write-in a place as you think a cat would see it, with an explanation of what it is for QM's framepoint. You may not let yourself get run over. That is stupid. Don't do that.
QM: Okay yeah I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not even sure why I'm letting this stupid idea out into the world.
This is... a quest. It is actually a quest with a specific idea and fandom in mind beyond "cat". Trust me on this.
However, y'all are gonna have to play as a cat. Not a cat-girl, or cat who uses a wish to become a magical girl. Just, a little black cat (unless certain things are done after a certain point but shhhhhh).
I'm gonna be trying not to take this quest too seriously. Watch as that fails before your eyes!
...My other quests? Uh. Huh.
I'll get back to you on those.

[X] Go to a nearby human and cuddle their feet. Hopefully, they'll pick you up and feed you as they did to your brethren.
Cats are really geniuses. They enslaved the entirety of humanity, we work to pay for their food, we let them sleep all day and we don't punish them for destroying furniture.

I have zero idea what the secret is, but I doubt "secretly all cats are telepathic shapeshifting time masters" is it. Still, having kitties myself, I think we're forgetting the most important thing.

Plot Happening Check: Failed. 8 potential prologue updates left.
You know where to go to get looked at, too!
You think. No, this'll work! It's got to.
You go to the big place where people go in and out carrying things and pushing other things along. There are little green (you think they're called trees? Yeah, trees) trees in things and a person is looking at them.
You walk up to the person, (a woman with long bluish not-fur), cuddle around their feet, and say "Hey! Look at me! I'm right here, please look!"
It works! They notice you!
They laugh a little and pet you, and they ask, "What are you doing all by yourself, cutie?"
You answer, "Looking for people, of course. Which I've found now! Take me with you?"
She doesn't seem to hear you, instead looking at your tail for some reason. "How did you get that kink in your tail, poor thing. All by yourself..."
...Is she just... playing like she's not hearing you? You can snap her out of it, you're sure!
"I don't have to be all by myself! Come on, lift me up and take me home with you!"
There's a call somewhere. The woman turns around and calls back, "I'll be right there!"
Then she looks back at you, you think she's sad.
"Sorry, little cutie. I'm afraid I have to say goodbye now."
And she gets up and leaves. No.
NO!!!!
"Wait, come back!" You try and tell her, but it's too late. She's going already.
...That went bad. Really bad.
You go back to your sleeping place, sad and with no progress made.
You're really sleepy now. You fall asleep.
When you get up again, everything's grayer. You must have been asleep for a while.
What now?
[] Write-in. Getting run over's still not a valid plan.

...I'm pretty sure this universe doesn't have a catluminati.
In fact, I know.
The illuminati isn't even that interested in cats, even one as awesome as this one!

Hmm, well, if you mean our cat protagonist being able to write, first you'll have to learn how to read. At least, that's what I'd imagine.
But if you mean in a general sense of the playerbase and myself attempting to write the entire thing through cat viewpoint, yeah! This is gonna be fun!

Oh, obviously not writing in whatever language the place we're in speaks... But I think showing them literal cat scratches that are supposed to say "Adopt me" will be hilarious

...I have the weirdest feeling that you've already figured out what setting this is.
Just a feeling.

Well we are in a big city, and have thus far gone to a retail store/ greenhouse that sells plants and gardening supplies. I'm mostly certain the lady we spoke with briefly was an employee.
The actual hint is the despair avatar and the subtle wrong feeling about this quest that says it isn't going to end cutely. Who knows though, we are the fluffiest thing around and everyone we meet will surely and inevitably succumb to our overwhelming charm. Purrhaps we take our time and find someone not shitty and follow them home until they accept our demands.
Personally I'd like to imagine that we are about to get picked up by hairy dresdan or his apprentice and are about to become someone's familiar. That'd be nice.

I'm gonna nip this dream in the bud. I have not read a single Dresden File book.
Personally, I feel like I've been laying out all the clues to the mystery rather openly so far, but that's just me.
Maybe this new update (should be out in a few hours at most) will provide another good clue to the mystery of-- well, not you, you don't have amnesia.
The mystery of the setting, then. That's the accurate term.
