IT IS A LOVELY DAY TO DIE. YOU ARE EXPENDABLE.


A humanoid creature stands in a back alleyway. There is a small roach on the ground, a poster in the corner, and a dumpster with garbage bags next to it. There is graffiti all over the walls.

YOU HAVE A NAME, one much too long to use unless absolutely needed. You have a shorter one too, but you don't like it. YOU DON'T LIKE EITHER OF YOUR NAMES. You suspect you were named out of spite (and you would be CORRECT).

You are A THING, and more specifically AN IT. THAT IS HOW YOU ARE REFERRED TO BY EVERY PERSON WHO HAS REFERRED TO YOU. There is very little you are good for and very little you do. You have accepted this fact by now. Recently, you have taken to SLEEPING IN ALLEYS. You have JUST AWOKEN in one.


>WHAT DO YOU DO?

A picture of a purple card with a winking Courtyard Droll on it, captioned "You're welcome." There are clubs in each corner except the bottom left where there is another Courtyard Droll.

You say you'd still rather wear the outfit. He's got nothing to say about that.

Is the image broken or is it just me?

I have broken the image by renaming it. Apologies. As I work on responses, here is the correct file.

You turn around to inspect the GRAFFITI ON THE WALL behind you.


The creature turns around to face the wall.

None of it is particularly...


A close up on the graffiti. There is a drawing of a penis, what looks to be the word "C4", the words "fugly bitch LOL", an unreadable scribble of letters, the "cool S", and a crown with "LOCAI WAS HERE" written underneath. The creature sweats.

... Inspiring.


> Throw away your prior names. Name yourself ALLEYCAT.


The creature faces forwards and looks at its tail with slight rosiness to its cheeks. The Moniker Manager pops up on the left side, displaying 3 of 10 slots full. There are name placards- one grey one that says "NOT UNIQUELY EVIL" in red lettering, one made of taped together cardboard saying "TOBIAS", and a light grey one that is visually bigger and reads "ALLEYCAT".

That is a name you can familiarize yourself with! You may not be a cat, but you've got the TAIL for it, so it will do. Unfortunately, since you still have room in your MONIKER MANAGER, you cannot replace any of the names you have been granted thus far. Not that you suppose you'd want to. They were both GIFTED TO YOU.


> Dumpster dive. Literally

It takes effort to reach THE DUMPSTER, so you aren't able to literally DIVE inside. However, you still certainly lean inside.The menu is gone. Alleycat leans into the dumpster. Its legs are a ways off the ground, and its tail sways slightly.You CANNOT REMEMBER what the BUILDINGS around you happen to be, so the contents of the bin are even A SURPRISE TO YOU. It must be some sort of RESTAURANT, as OLD AND ROTTEN or simply STALE AND HALF-EATEN FOOD makes up most the bags. There are BROKEN GLASS BOTTLES, though ONE IS INTACT AND EMPTY. THREE DENTED but UNOPENED CANS lay inside as well, with NO LABEL as to what is in them. A MANGLED FORK juts out of a bag.

You COULD DIG FOR MORE, but there is NO PROMISE IT WILL BE INTERESTING.

You are not a fighter. You were not made to fight, nor refuse. But what you were made for has long since been a mere formality.


Alley Cat is still leaning over the bin. A menu that reads "BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" appears. The broken glass bottle is stored behind glass.

The BROKEN GLASS is stored safely behind GLASS to be BROKEN in case you wish to have the BROKEN GLASS. The irony is not lost on you. You are INTIMATELY FAMILIAR with the CONCEPT OF IRONY.


>Lets bring the camera out a bit, see our surroundings.


Alleycat turns around. The screen is bigger, showing a poster of a woman in a red dress with a heart by her, driving in a similarly red car. Text reads "Lonely? Call the new JEN.EXE! 8675309". The poster is drenched in some sort of fluid.


There is very little of note, though you do not think you will be doing this in the same manner every again.


> Also adopt the moniker "Fugly Bitch", just for the heck of it.

You do not want to do that.


Alleycat stands, looking mildly upset. The Moniker Manager opens again, displaying the name FUGLY BITCH.

You are now also known as FUGLY BITCH.


> Take the intact glass.

The Moniker Manager disappears, and the Storage System opens up on the bottom, with ten spaces. An empty glass bottle takes up one.

You suppose you may need this eventually, even with LIMITED SPACE.


> Chug all three cans


Alleycat sits on the ground next to three dented and unlabled cans. It looks unhappy.

You do not have the means to open these cans! Curse blunt teeth and... your hand situation that will not be clarified upon.

> Desperate times call for desperate measure. BREAK THE GLASS!!

Alleycat sticks its hand through the emergency glass and breaks it, grimacing as it gets cut and bleeds.

You may not get the chance to eat again. It's best to see what you've got...Alleycat looks down at the now opened cans. One knocked over oozes a black liquid. One has beans inside, and the other has a fruit mix. It holds the broken bottle in hand as it bleeds from the other arm. A bug draws near.After a lot of stabbing and efforts, you see... Oh! Beans! One of them is beans! You LIKE BEANS A LOT. In fact, you would go as far as to say they are YOUR FAVORITE SORT OF FOOD. One oozes out some DARK SLUDGE YOU CANNOT MAKE OUT, and the last seems to have a FRUIT MIX, which you are partial to.


>Desperate times call for desperate measures. CALL JEN.EXE!! The JEN.EXE poster as viewed from a low angle.A lone shot of Alleycat looking up with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, blush on its face.

you would, if you knew how.


> Fugly Bitch: Take Jen.exe poster.Alleycat now stands, looking downwards. The poster is now in the Storage System. It still holds the broken bottle and is still bleeding.... Maybe one day, you'll find a DIME. And a PHONE BOOTH. Or perhaps a different phone that does not require payment. That is not likely. You can still dream.


> Talk to the lil bug on the groundThe Storage System disappears to show Alleycat was looking down at the bug on the ground.You OFTENTIMES STRUGGLE WITH WORDS. You usually can ONLY SQUEEZE OUT A FEW. You regard yourself as hardly sapient, or even sentient, really. However, you still attempt to converse with the BUG. THE BUG regards you, but does not seem to share anything. Either YOU CANNOT SPEAK INSECTOID, or YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND INSECTOID. They are likely BOTH TRUE, as everybody only starts out with ONE LANGUAGE in their LINGUISTIC LIBRARY, and you have taken to COMMON.
