So for my first darbble for this blog, I thought about how Shoot started working at Chimera Zoo. I hope you all enjoy!
———————————————-
Just like any other day, Knuckle slammed open the door to his apartment after a good day of working at the zoo. As usual his tiny puppy, Apr, was waiting behind the door eager for his pompadour wearing owner to return. Knuckle spent a few minutes petting and adoring the small dog before moving on.
When Knuckle reached the living room he saw his roommate, Shoot, on the couch with a mess of newspapers on the coffee table.
“Still looking for a decent job?” Knuckle asked as he jumped on the couch, taking a set next to him
“Yeah… Apparently it’s hard to find good jobs involving animals.” Shoot replied as he got a bit sweaty as he looked through job opportunities in the paper.
“Oh?” Knuckle could tell by Shoot’s sweating that something was up; sweating was like Shoot’s sign of being nervous. “What about that pet training job you saw a few days ago?”
Only a guilty silence response came from Shoot.
“How about working in animal control? Being a vet? Or a breeder? What about the God damn pet store in the mall?!” Knuckle was getting up to Shoot’s face.
After a moment or two of silence Shoot admitted “I wimped out… On all of them…”
Out of a frustrated rage, Knuckle stood up and yelled as he ran towards his room.
Shoot was paralyzed from nervousness and internal panic of the fear of getting kicked out.
However Shoot was snapped out of it when felt something soft hit his head. He looked back and grabbed what hit him.
The thing was an ugly looking purple cat plush.
Shortly after picking up the toy cat Knuckle came back and say next to Shoot again, still clearly pissed.
“Knuckle, what is this?” Shoot asked as Apr jumped up on the couch and started to tug lightly on the cat.
“It’s Bankruptcy, Apr’s favorite chew toy!” Knuckle told Shoot “You have to Bankruptcy on you at all times for 30 days, unless if you get a job. If you don’t get one in 30 days, I’m dragging your ass down to the zoo to work with me. You are like my bro and I don’t want to kick you out because you’re scared to do a little job interview. Understood?”
Shoot gave a smile smile and nodded.
The 30 days passed and Shoot didn’t get a job. So as Knuckle said, he dragged his roommate to the zoo and got him a job.
That is how Shoot became a worker at Chimera Zoo
