For the #ruse to work, Rory had to use the magical item at the correct time. Which wasn’t all that difficult because the item pinged when ready.

He would need to ask Katie to be a quiet, just in case, which was difficult, because Katie understood quiet but hadn’t quite grasped how to be.

Your eyes, like oceans
Or just a clever #ruse to
Get some more tuna

I #slip into thoughts
About how fleeting life is
From birth through to death

A gloomy wet day
Matches a mind full of tasks
As grey thoughts #drizzle

“Well I’m not sure I want whatever it is you’re asking me to do. I’ve had enough problems in this lifetime as it is.” Ruby did her best to sound aloof but the swish of the tip of her tail, and her ears turning backwards spoke of a soul #unmoored by her uncertain venture. #vss365

You #bend like your spine’s made of
Fluffy pipe cleaners

“Life also prepares you for what lays ahead,” he continued. “Dark clouds of strife, hardships and challenges may #loom on the horizon, but you are more than capable of overcoming them.” The tip of Ruby’s tail sharply flicked showing her scepticism. “Always trials, huh?” #vss365

At your disposal.
I lean in to pet you but
You sooo #veer away

Of a time long past, echoes
Through my yearning heart

The ethereal cat approached Ruby and gently touched her nose with his. Like an open wound #seared with a hot iron, Ruby’s dark memories faded and became less painful. “Sometimes life is but a lesson to make you ready for the future,” he purred. Ruby purred in agreement. #vss365

From his inner most core, the ethereal cat felt Ruby’s pain as she recalled her past. “Oh precious one, I saw your pain, how badly you were treated, your #heartfelt cries for help. That was why I intervened. There was only so much you could bear.” #vss365

“Because you didn’t have the best start in life,” he replied. “In fact, your path was never destined to be a straight one, but one with twists and turns, a #wonky one.”

“You don’t say!” Ruby snorted. “I never asked to be born, to then be abandoned, scavenging for food.” #vss365

I would never think
To #stoop so low as to go
Against what she wants

“But why me?” Ruby tilted her head towards the ethereal cat. “I mean, I don’t get it. I love my zoomies and my humans even say that I can be rather #slapdash when I approach things. I just don’t understand how I can be chosen.” Her uncertainty caused Ruby’s ears to flick. #vss365

“It’s actually quite a simple one. Soon there will be an alignment of planets. An #unmissable event for humans but for some humans it will signify the return of a King.” The ethereal cat paused while Ruby momentarily determined that a passing dust bunny was not hostile. #vss365

“What do you mean by ‘mission’?” Ruby didn’t want to get involved with anything that might jeopardise her loved ones. The ethereal cat chirped in amusement. “Fear not, Chosen one. You just have to make a #delivery of sorts but not one that would place you in harms way.” #vss365
January 9, 2026 at 3:21 PM
“Yet you still prevailed.” The ethereal cat lovingly brushed past Ruby’s flank, causing her to close her eyes and purr. “It was all to prepare you - to #adorn you with the power and strength needed for your next mission.” Ruby’s eyes suddenly flicked open, “Mission?” #vss365

Another sleepless night, my peace #spooked by thoughts of world events.
It's like being in the front row of a concert hall, lulled by the beauty of a #symphony, only to have the calm suddenly shattered by the clash of cymbals.

“Your life, with its twists and turns is a #symphony of resilience and strength,” it continued. “Consider your first set of humans and what they did to you.” In a blink of an eye, Ruby was taken back to her early years, the abandonment and constant hunger. She shuddered. #vss365

The ethereal feline shifted their position with their gaze never leaving Ruby. In doing so, they managed to #spook Ruby’s favourite human, who shivered while they focused on their vss 365 prompt on their phone. “You’re certainly not an oddball, you’re a gift,” it purred. #vss365
