- What do you want to order? - you ask, not looking up from the register The boar glances at the fox and it chuckles, raising its gun for a moment as if to show you that there's no room for resistance here. He leans toward you, lighting a new cigarette
- Listen, kid, why don't you get your receptionist? We have a, uh. special order for the night,”his voice is deep and harsh, and his tone leaves little doubt that you're part of that ”order". You feel the adrenaline rush into your chest
You work as a cashier at a 24-hour McDonald's on one of the side streets of Neo-Noctus, a city where the dark skies are always full of neon lights and the shadows of chimeras succeed each other. Anthropomorphic beasts with magical powers have taken over the world, turning humans into a resource, a commodity, or a servant. People like you are forced to cling to low-paying jobs, hoping to remain unnoticed among this predatory society. The shift goes on until you hear the roar of the engine. A black, neon-lit Blood Predator, a car that costs more than you'll earn in a lifetime, pulls up in front of a glass storefront. Out of it emerge two anthropomorphic beasts. The boar is known by the nickname Cobald. His appearance terrifies everyone - massive body, tattered jacket of armor, powerful white fangs glinting as he grins, and a smoking cigarette clutched in a massive hoof. His eyes glow an icy blue, as if they see through your fears. His companion, a fox named Lassie, is the complete opposite. A slender figure in tight black leather, a bright pink lock of hair poking out from under the glasses she has on her forehead. Her tail swishes smoothly from side to side, and her eyes reflect predatory excitement. In her paw she twirls a massive engraved pistol. They go inside. Cobald glances at the menu, but he doesn't seem interested in the burger and fries. He looks at you with a smirk, baring his crooked fangs, and takes a long look at you, as if deciding what to make of you
