Retina Scan (Furry Takeover) ~ Story Line

Until July 10th, we're doing something special and sharing some of our favorite Story Lines of the year that previously didn't make it onto the blog.

In this one, V decides to make the Pit more accessible to all the Furries that cohabit the Mansion:
George, Dodger, Boo; by putting in a Retina Scan so they have easy access.  Of course, animals and technology doesn't take off right away.

Vishous Ghardian

Dodgy!!! *I hope he's not in a deep "dead to the world" sleep. When he gets like that he looks like he is truly dead and nothing much will wake him except his own desire to be so. Usually food.* I have strawberries!!! *that might do the trick, at least one can hope. I check my watch for the time. Boo and George should be here soon. I told Beth to bring them both together. We gotta get this retina scan thing done up so the little critters (well George is not so little) can get in here when they feel like it. I prop open the door to the Pit and go back to the kitchen for the treats I had the forethought to get. Bacon for Boo and some nice doggy jerky for George. The shit I do for this family... *shaking my head and going for my smokes. Might as well get in one or two before the chaos begins*

Beth Ghardian 

*Walking down to the pit with George next to me and carrying Boo, Vishous wanted to see both of them for some retina scan. Honestly, things are getting high tech when family pets are getting retina scans. Knocking on the door* Hey Vishous, *Looking at George and Boo* Pet delivery?

Dodger Ohana 

STRAWBERRIES. I know he said it. My eyes open instantly, not only my tail showing how excited I am now, I hop out of the sink and toddle into the main room of the pit. It is totally normal to sleep in the sink, I swear. Changing into a jump/run as I hear the door, wondering if someone super duper awesome just entered the pit. Maybe someone with MORE treats. FOR ME.

Vishous Ghardian 

Oh, hey, Beth. *taking Boo from her arms and watching George stroll on in like he owns the place* I'll get them set up and they will know how to come back on their own when we are done. Thanks again. I just want this thing installed and working. We got to keep the security tight. *Waves goodbye to Beth as she heads back up to Wrath.*

Boo Ghardian 

*Blinking up at Mahmen as she leaves, then back at V. What? Am I money? Passed around like a big hunk of fur? Already in a not so happy mood from being carried from my bed and NOT fed yet, I just eye V. His eyes turn on me... and he places me on the floor. I'm thrown away. OH, the horror. Shooting him a glare, before settling back on my haunches and curling my tail around myself. Sniffing the air.. is that...bacon? Sitting up, walking around V's legs, brushing my body against his leathers--he and I? We're BFF's...for now*

George Ghardian 

*Lifting chin acknowledging Vishous, Hey my Brother how's it hanging? Oh shit DO NOT answer that. I so do not want to know the answer to that question. *Starting to pace* I can't believe I just asked V how's it hanging I don't know why I ask anyone that because really I do no want to know how their package is hanging, low, high, left, right. I don't give a shit. *Breathes deeply*

Jane Ghardian 

*Wanting to join Vishous, hoping he will wear his tool belt again I see Dodger running pass me and scoop him up into my arms.* You are too slow, Dodgy. *Kissing the top of his head as he blinks, confused at what just happened. Joining Vishous I smile* Hey pups. Mind if I join the...party. I even found the last victim for your plans.

Vishous Ghardian 

Hey, Baby, you found him. *Kissing Jane on the lips and then taking Dodgy and setting him on the floor next to Boo and George* Your help will be much appreciated. As you can see I will have my work cut out, Jane. *Six eyeballs look up at me, varying sizes and colors but all equally alert* I know what you want. Boo, you want your bacon and Dodgy, you want a strawberry, and George, I am pretty sure you won't turn down the Pup-a-Roni jerky I got for you...BUT we got work to do, so no whining. You can have your treats when we're done. *I get a lot of blinking and blank stares right back*

Boo Ghardian 

*Completely eager about the bacon until, V mentions something about Pup-a-Roni jerky. Shooting my eyes between the two of them, I stifle the urge to snicker inwardly. I can't make fun of him! I can't or all the bacon in the world vanishes from me... forever. Tail swishing excitedly, I have bacon for NOW.. until V opens his mouth. Wait. WORK? I have to WORK for bacon? What kind of world is this?? I get bacon for FREE*

George Ghardian 

*Looking over at Boo, I know he is thinking unpure evil thoughts I should have put that into the bacon clause too. Then we could get lawyers and of course I would win and it would be called Bacongate. *looking at V* Dude did you say JERKY???!!! Dude I am so hyped about jerky what do you need? Need me to chase a squirrel, my tail, make a deposit in someone's shoes? That on is not my favorite so lets leave that one out. But Bro you name it I will DO IT just for you!! and Jerky is like a fucking bonus but I would do it jerky free too. Just saying.*

Jane Ghardian 

*Laughs as I hear V talking to Boo, George and Dodger* Does that mean I am getting treats too when I am cooperating? So, what do you want me to do. Should I just sit down and be quiet or can I assist you somehow? *As if I would keep my mouth shut*

Dodger Ohana 

Plopping down, pondering about escaping out of the pit until I hear Janey's words. I could assist too. For a strawberry I will. Looking at Boo's profile, George right next to him, totally realizing that we are ordered after the size. Cool. Getting up, pushing myself between Boo and Georgie, my eyes totally start sparkling like stars. NOW we are in alphabetical order. Yup. Tail swishing over the floor, touching Boo at my left and George at my right side. I am super duper smart, true.

Vishous Ghardian 

*Shaking my head at Jane* Don't sit down, we may need you to hold *Mouthing the word* ...someone. *Getting my scanner off of the computer desk, I hold it up.* All I have to do is take a picture of your eye. *Putting up my hand* I won't hurt, I promise. You won't feel a thing. And if you want the doggy door to open to get in here, it'll be the only way in... or it will be as soon as I get it hooked up. *I smile at Jane and she smiles back at me* Who wants to go first? *More with the blinking and staring*

Boo Ghardian 

*Feeling Dodgy squeeze in between George and I, I swish my tail awaiting the "work". Blinking slowly, my tail swishing back and forth, I could probably just sleep and let both of them do it, right? Until... V holds up this... thing. An object. Wait a second.. take a picture of my... EYE? Blinking rapidly, my little feline heart starts to beat faster-what type of torture device is THIS? As soon as he says: Who wants to go first, I step backwards*

George Ghardian 

*Processing what was said, So you're gonna take that thingy there and do something with my eye and then I can get in the doggie door. That means whenever I WANT I can come down here and hang out in the Pit Fuck Yeah!! When Mahmen and Wrathhdaddy are making animal noises I am SO down here *Looking around for the Goose and the Lag and taking a step forward* Dude BRING IT!

Jane Ghardian 

*Raising my eyebrow as Boo steps back* What are you actually stepping forward for, Boo? Besides bacon I mean, huh? *Shaking my head, knowing that I will probably have to actually hold him. Just another advantage being a ghost as in already dead*

Dodger Ohana 

Watching as Boo Boo steps back AND Georgie steps forward, totally like a King. He is super duper brave. He deserves his kingly name, yup. Tilting my head, not sure what Vishy wants us to do. I could step to the side. But which one? Right or left? Decisions, decisions. Still thinking, not paying attention to George and V as I suddenly see a lightning. Whoa. A thunderstorm. In the pit? Eyes widen I immediately head over to the couch, hiding underneath it as FAST as possible. My personal Safe Place...

Vishous Ghardian 

George, you are so mellow and easy going. Thank you for volunteering. *putting the scanner up to his eye and pressing the button* This will just take a second-- *ignoring Boo's reluctance, knowing that any attention on him will only make it worse, I see a blur of fur and then a fluffy tail hit it under the couch* Jane!!! We got a bolter! Dodgy freaked at the light from the scanner. *chuckling as his tail gets pulled under behind him* The strawberries are on the kitchen counter, Baby.

Boo Ghardian 

*Watching the whole thing, I'm sure George is now BLIND. Just like DW. Stepping back more, watching George's tail wag.. how can he be so happy about being blind? Wait a sec.. maybe he thinks I'LL be his seeing eye cat?! That shit isn't happening-not in my litterbox. Not EVER. Stepping back again, watching out of the corner of my eye at Dodgy as he scurries further underneath the couch. I'm sure Jane is going to get the strawberries, wishing I had a VOICE I think loudly, "TRAP. Dodgy, RUN!".*

George Ghardian 

*Standing there as a bright light flashes in my eye, WOW *Looking around* I'm still here it wasn't THE bright light that takes you to the fade. Dude that was so easy. *Looking behind me* Where the fuck is Dodgy? Boo what the hell is your problem. Honestly you just need to grow some balls cat. You do have your balls don't you? OH.MY.GOD. Did Mahmen take you for THAT surgery? Bro, I am so sorry! I still got mine! Furry Fist Pump!!!

Jane Ghardian 

I got this, V. *Floating over to the kitchen counter to get two strawberries for Dodgy before I head over to the couch. Speaking in a soft way, not wanting to scare him even more I kneel down and look under the couch, just seeing two glowing eyes staring at me which are attached a shivering furball* Come here, Dodgy. No one is going to hurt you. We can cuddle a little and I can stroke you while you are eating a nice strawberry. What do you say? *Watching him tilt his head, clearly considering his options until I hear him moving*

Dodger Ohana 

Strawberries AND cuddle time? Tilting my head to see Janey better, the smile on her lips even reaches her forest-green eyes. I cannot say NO to my Janey, uh uh. Not if she wants to cuddle with me AND give me a strawberry. And I did not see another lightning. Maybe the danger is over? Crawling out of underneath the couch, right into her arms. Now a strawberry between my paws I look back at where the lightning came from, wondering why Vishy is looking at me like THAT. Nibbling on my strawberry I watch him walking towards me and see Boo Boo out of the corner of my tiny button eyes slowly shaking his head as if he is...pitying me.

Vishous Ghardian 

*sighing heavily* Alright, Boo. As you can see, George is still living and breathing like he was five minutes ago.. It did not hurt him and he is ready for his Pup-a-Roni jerky treat. *to George* Did that hurt you, Georgie? *drool drips from George's mouth as his tongue lolls out.* I'll take that as a 'no.' See, Boo Boo? You got nothing to worry about. Two seconds, your eye, one flash of the scanner, and you're done. Jane has her hands full with Dodgy at the moment and you're not gettin any younger...and the bacon is not gettin any closer to your fluffy gut either. *green eyes glare at me and I am sure that if he could speak, I would be getting a lot of fuck-yous and you're such as asshole, V!*

Boo Ghardian 

*The way he said fluffy gut? I'm appalled. It's like it's a BAD thing. I worked hard on this fluff. Glaring at him more, he's right-I'm not getting any younger, but neither is he. I'm sure he's older than--my mind trails off as he distracts me with all my inwardly thinking, he picks up the machine...* Mrrrrrrrrow??! *Breathing rapidly, he approaches me and I stay completely still, until he puts it to my eye. The light goes off, my fur stands up and my claws unsheathe. Closing both my eyes tightly, I can't see! I am blind! And Vishous lied!*

George Ghardian 

*hearing the cat freak, looking up momentarily from my jerky, Cat you are such DRAMA, honestly you are gonna get bacon, get the fuck over yourself. What wouldn't you do for Bacon? I bet you would let a doggen shave you for 10 pounds of bacon. Really suck it up you are not blind. mmmmmmmm jerky jerky you're so good!*

Jane Ghardian 

*Shaking my head at the drama queen, Dodgy still in my arms, hoping he is too busy with his strawberry to see how his idol behaves* See, Boo, that wasn't so bad, right. *Looking over at the kitchen counter I see the plate with the bacon* You really deserved your treat. *Holding Dodgy with one arm I place the plate infront of Boo* As soon as you can see the bacon...bon appétit! *Turning my eyes at Vishous, mouthing my question* Now Dodger?

Dodger Ohana 

Nibbling, not realizing what is going on around me. My strawberry needs ALL my attention. Yup, yup. And it is a super duper yummy strawberry. The best one I EVER had. Sniffing, the scent that reaches my nostrils uber familiar I try to act like a chameleon, wanting to keep one eye at my berry and one at Vishy who is now right infront of me. Blinking, not the slightest idea what he wants from me. I am sure he does not want my strawberry, he prefers the liquid version of something that is also super duper red.

Vishous Ghardian 

*bending down so that the scanner is underneath Dodger's eye level, I aim it and press the scan button. The flash moves quickly and I get the reading. He squeaks and drops his strawberry.* Christ! It's only a flash of light. You would think I was making you take an acid eye bath or some shit! *to Jane* Thank you, Baby for fishing him out from under the couch. I'm all done. *going over to the four toys for uploading the eye scans, I type in all the code and the info is up to date.* We're good to go on the doggy door now. *leaning back in my chair, my hands clasped behind my head* All you do is put your eye up to the flasher and hold still. It will scan you and the door can be pushed open. Simple. *I look around and see that nobody is paying any attention to me. None whatsoever. They are all mowing down treats as fast as their fluffy guts can engulf them. Figures... Nobody ever listens to me.* ~

XOXO!
