## Description

Boss is a male cat with fur like that of a Siamese cat; tan with grey-brown fur on his paws, ears, tail, and in a circle in the center of his face. He also has oval-shaped, darker brown eyebrows which are always angled down. He wears a green tie with a white shirt collar around his neck.

## Dialogue

#### **First meeting**

 Hmm, it's quiet and the lighting is pleasant. This will make a nice office.

 This is the perfect place for my **Corpawration** to grow.

(Oh? I wonder what kind of company that is?)

 Our staff will be growing rapidly so you better keep another floor clear too.

 The meeting room can go here, and the reception here.. A place for my naps here.

(He's making plans all by himself. I don't think I need to be here.)

#### **First request completed**

 You're ten minutes late to your interview.

(My what?)

 Young cats these days have no sense of time. Well, at least you turned up eventually.

 First things first, what makes you wish to **Join our Corpawration**?

What do I say?

1. Uhh... Umm...
2. I would love to play a part in helping you become the greatest company in the world.
3. I heard the salary here is pretty good.

 Tsk... You're not just furless but brainless too, apparently.

(Boss scribbles on his notepad. I don't think it's anything positive.)

 Well, that is interesting to hear. Now, what **Talents** do you have?

My talents...

1. Nono...grams...?
2. Everything! I can do anything you ask!
3. I'm pretty sure I can do anything better than you.

 Hmm... Interesting. Talent at Nonograms is certainly important.

 But no use in an office environment!

 Hmmm... Well... I will inform you of the result soon.

 Don't get your hopes up, though. We have a lot of applicants.

(I'm not sure I did very well and yet Boss looks strangely satisfied. Have we grown closer?)

(...I still don't know what his company does though.)

#### **Second request completed**

 Even after being late to your interview, you're now ten minutes late on your first day.

 Your seat is... Hmm... Over in that corner.

 It used to be Coco's desk but she's on indefinite leave.

 Since it's your first day try practicing using your **stamp**

(Boss looks busy with something. Should I try approaching?)

 Hey! This document is top secret! Go focus on your own work!

(It was just a piece of paper covered in paw prints...)

 Hmph... When I was your age, I would have been too scared to even breathe in front of my boss.

 You don't know how lucky you are to have a kind boss like me.

(Hmm... Will he like me more if I do more fake stamping?)

 That's more like it! Do you like working overtime too?

Overtime!?

1. Uhh... Umm...

2. I can never work enough! I'll work 24/7!

 Haha! You may not have fur, but you're certainly very charming!

(Boss is laughing loudly.)

(I still don't know what this company actually does, but I think he likes me!)

#### **Third request completed**

 Phew...

(Boss lets out a big sigh. He must be worried about something.)

 I have so many worries these days...

 It has been so long since I set up the Corpawration...

 When I set it up a week ago I never imagined we'd come so far.

(A...week? I'm not sure that counts as "so long".)

 We have grown greatly but we have lost our way.

 What do you think? **Which Direction** should we take next?

What direction should the company take?

1. Uhh... Umm...

2. Let's just enjoy ourselves.

 Enjoy ourselves? This is work!

 But... Maybe you're right.

 We've worked so hard up until now, maybe it's time we took some rest.

3. No idea.

 Youngsters these days really are clueless.

 Back in my day I could never talk with my boss like this.

 But... I think it's good to hear your opinions.

 Let's talk like this more often!

(Boss seems to have an idea.)

(But seriously, what does this company do?)

#### **Forth request completed**

 Do you know what my dream is?

 It's for every cat in the world to know the Corpawration.

 This has been a dream of mine for so long... Two years and two months... So very long...

(He's lost in his memories. He's younger than I thought.)

 Hmm... But Coco is on her long vacation...

 And I can't always sit here working every day...

 You're still new here,

 but judging by how much overtime you do, and your skill at Nonograms,

 I think you're pretty good for a youngster.

 I've decided! I'm going to make you **Vice President** of the Corpawration!

Vice President?!

1. Uhh... Umm...

2. I'll make sure you don't regret it!

3. That sounds like a lot more work...

 Of course it is! But do you think any cat would be given this chance?!

 Pretending to run a company is never easy.

 But think of this all as being for the sake of your future.

(...Pretending?)

 Pretending? I said nothing about pretending! Anyway, I'm done for today! See you!

(He looks so relieved.)

(But will I ever find out what this company does?)
