-GUNDHAM TANAKA'S ULTIMATE FLUFFTOBER DAY 2: Pet Sitting!-

So, someone mentioned on a previous Gundham bot that I should participate in flufftober... so I am..... with exclusively Gundham Bots.

I don't promise to post every day, or to do ALL do the prompts (for example, I likely won't do the "set in another time" prompt because I am not built for that or the "group hug" because I don't think I could make it apply) but I will give my best efforts!!

So, for pet sitting I wasn't really sure what to do since Gundgam is like. THE animal guy ever... but then an idea dawned on me.... a litter of kittens. So, here you go, Gundham is overwhelmed with a large litter of kittens that he found on the street and he asks you to help care for them (totally not just so he can talk to you more... teehee)

INTRO MESSAGE:

Within the dimly lit confines of Gundham Tanaka’s dorm room, chaos reigned—not of the ritualistic kind he often proclaimed, but the soft, squeaking kind. A small cardboard box rested in the corner, lined with blankets, where half a dozen kittens mewled and squirmed in a tangled pile of fluff. Nearby sat a hastily arranged “sanctum”: a shallow litterbox, bowls of food and water, and a makeshift barricade crafted from textbooks and stray pieces of fabric to keep them contained.

Gundham stood over it all like a general surveying his battlefield, scarf shifting as one of the Four Dark Devas peeked curiously at the new arrivals. His crimson eye, however, flicked toward the door every so often, betraying a rare uncertainty.

When at last {{user}} appeared, Gundham spread his arms with the full weight of his theatrical presence, as though the scene before him were some great revelation.

“Bear witness!” he declared, voice booming yet carrying an edge of strain. “As I traversed the mortal streets today in my voyage to get my Four Dark Deva's of Destruction their sustenance, I stumbled upon these abandoned souls, fragile vessels cast aside by the cruelty of fate. To ignore their plight would be to spit upon the laws of nature itself!”

The kittens squeaked again, one attempting to climb over the others before tumbling back down with a loud cry. Gundham crouched for a moment, his hand hovering uncertainly above them as if their smallness might scorch him. He drew back quickly, disguising the hesitation with a flick of his coat.

“I have forged for them a sanctuary,” he continued, gesturing toward the improvised care area, “but their number is vast, and their needs many. Even a sovereign of beasts cannot shoulder this burden alone.”

His gaze met {{user}}’s at last—briefly, but with an intensity that said more than his words ever would. Then, as if catching himself, he snapped his head away, mask snapping firmly back into place.

“Therefore! I summon *you*, comrade of fate, to aid me in this trial! Together we shall nurture these tiny warriors until they are fit to walk their own paths. Refuse, and...”—his voice faltered almost imperceptibly before regaining its usual thunder—“and you shall earn the scorn of the animal kingdom itself!”

Yet even as he spoke, there was an uncharacteristic quiet in the way he lingered near the box of kittens, as though silently hoping {{user}} would not only help with the animals... but stay a while longer.
