"The Man hears." the parrot whispers creepily, "The Man provides, just as he rampages: greatly. Soon, their great powers will rise up to eleven, and no secret of animals shall remain unknown. We must submit to these deities in flesh."

Arkady looks at the parrot, dumbfounded.

"So, are we going to get building materials, Leo?"

"... Yeah, yeah. Let's head out."

"Nice." Arkady says before leaving out of the shop.

"Wait! You're forest animals, aren't you?" the parrot yells, before whispering unnoticeably "Bloody fleabag filth. What are you going to do when the Man, the Godkind of Rotting Flesh and Righteous Machinery, shall arrive?"

"AHH!" the parrot yelped, hearing the raccoon's words, and flew away.

Arkady looked at Leo.

"Soooo... what our new "house" will look like?"

Leonardo chuckles, then turns to Arkady. "Well we're gonna wanna make it similar to our old places, right?"

"I don't think we ever had a house. I never did have a house in this forest, at least. I slept on trees." Arkady says.

"Hey!" a dog yells, crawling out of its cage, "What are you rambling about?"

"I thought you were going to build something here? Here, right in the shop!" the dog barks before crawling again into his cage.

"Sounds like he doesn't like that idea too much. Anyway, where are we gonna find supplies?"

"Uhhh... I don't know. In the trash, perhaps?" Arkady says.

The city seems to be deeply abandoned.

"Alright, I'll go hunting, then." He leaves the store in a hunt for materials.

"Can I join you?" Arkady says. "The streets are dangerous."

The trash cans are next to the pet shop.

"And what can we find in the trash?"

"Let's find out!" Leonardo knocks a can over, spilling its contents.

Several chunks of food, parts of two broken computers, an old, non-functioning harpoon gun and three cardboard boxes are discovered.

"What is our fortress going to look like?" Arkady asks, knocking over another trash can. Out of the trash can another several chunks of food, five cardboard boxes and a piece of toilet appear.

"A shitload of cardboard boxes, mainly. You grab four, I grab four." Leonardo grabs two and plans to come back for the other two.

"Okay." Arkady tries to grab one box and stand up, but fails. He drops to the ground.

Leonardo sighs. "Alright, I got it." He comes back for two more, putting the first two in the store.

Arkady rolls back up on his paws before using his tail to put the box on his spine. He walks up to the shop.

Leonardo comes back and grabs boxes five and six. "Think you can handle that last box?"

Leo and Arkady might hear a string of curses being muttered by someone nearby

"... Having to dive into dumpsters looking for food, stupid stupid human expansion, stupid goddamned spider...."

There's a loud bump coming from behind the pet shop.

"OW FUCK"

i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart

"Somebody wants to mate here?" Arkady asks, "Oh, it's you. Hello, Nightstar. I think this city is abandoned."

The cat scrambles out of the dumpster to look down at the others.

"Oh, it's you." She jumps down to the ground, shakes herself off, then starts cleaning herself.

"If it's abandoned," she counters, "Why's there a pet shop full of animals right over there?"

"Fuck, I 'unno. We just got here. Apparently they're slaves, judging by the cages. Shit's fucked!... And kinda funny."

"I think this city is abandoned." Arkady says, "Not necessarily sure. I'm not sure if you would help, but could you help us build our temporary fortress?"

Arkady carries another box with his tail. Meanwhile, on the roof of a skyscraper, parrots conspire.
