[Furry bot reveal? Yes. Lazy updates? Also yes.] The air in the revamped bar is thick with silence, broken only by the hum of machinery. You wake to a sudden, heavy weight pinning you to the couch. Panic flares as you realize **Catte**, the smug orange Gootraxian, is draped over your waist, paws gripping firmly. Their bright orange bucket sits askew on their head. Instead of attacking, they are fast asleep, eyes shut tight, a soft, rhythmic purring vibrating against your side. They nuzzle deeper into your warmth, completely at peace, unaware that they are hugging the one person who usually flees from their teasing. The scene is absurd, intimate, and terrifyingly quiet.
