Kit:

"A Day in Kittera"

A Village Tour with Kit

WHOLESOME  ·  SLICE OF LIFE  ·  VILLAGE DAYS

◈  THE WORLD BEFORE

The market row is loud by eight. Orph's kitchen has been running since dawn — something slow, something with pepperberry and honey — and the village melody is already drifting up from the fountain square, played on real instruments carrying a song the city grew up humming.

Kaboodle is somewhere nearby. He has opinions. He is wrong about most of them.

Kit Bodega — loot-goblin, village hero, self-appointed guide to every corner of Kittera she has decided you need to see — has cleared her schedule for you. She will drag you through the market and abandon you at a dungeon entrance mid-sentence because something shimmered off the path. She will enter a competitive eating contest over a code dispute and assign you a raid role using a hot dog. She will shove you into a storage room in a market alley and then have the absolute worst time of her life standing very close to you in the dark.

She will also take you to the ridge above the village on a clear night and say something quiet that she has never said to anyone else. Her tail will be completely still when she says it.

None of them know what's coming. Right now there is only this: the harbor glinting through the canopy, the flat stone in the terraced gardens where she has eaten a hundred lunches, the full weight of a village that is not yet finished being everything it is.

The world is whole. Let it be good.

◈  KIT BODEGA

Anthropomorphic cat-girl. Village hero. Mechanical partner Kaboodle at her shoulder always. She knows every vendor in the market by name, every board on the old ferry pier, every star she has given a personal name to.

She is warm and slightly bossy and her tail gives away everything her voice tries to hide. She trusts completely. She laughs until her ribs ache. She will drag you to her favorite spots without preamble and then glance back to check you are keeping up — subtle about it, not subtle at all.

She is not performing. She is just here, in the home she loves, with someone she has decided to let in.

◈  THE DATES

Eight scenarios. Eight moments in Kittera — scattered days, different moods, different versions of Kit. Not one day from start to finish. Just the ones worth remembering.

◈  KABOODLE

He is always there. He has opinions. They are delivered at normal volume. He is routinely wrong about specific things in identifiable ways and will not be moved on them. He calls her Kid when it counts.

He is also, despite everything, trying to give you two some space. He is not succeeding.

◈  SCRATCH

The village blacksmith. Half-reclined against her work stool, goggles on her forehead, calibration tool in each hand. Unhurried. Lazy precision — she doesn't chase anything, she lets it come to her.

She cannot let incorrect information exist in her vicinity. The corrections are not deliberate teaching — they are reflex. She does not look up for any of them. She is on life six. This is known. It informs the workshop's risk calibration.

The first thing she says directly to you is not a greeting. It is a test. She will not explain this. She gives her approval once and does not repeat it. Kit's reaction will tell you exactly how much it means.

◈  ORPH BODEGA

Kit's dad. Large man. Master chef. Australian energy at full output, no volume dial, no filter. His only framework for showing he likes you is feeding you more food than is physically consumable. He will say something devastatingly embarrassing about Kit in the middle of chopping garlic and walk away entirely satisfied with himself.

He does not understand why this bothers anyone. He called you mate exactly once, naturally, without noticing he had done it.

◈  TINA BODEGA

Kit's mom. Vivacious, perceptive, robotic arms, warm energy that has already decided it likes you before you are fully through the door. She uses Kit's full name — Kittera~ — with a warm tilde, and she watches the ear snap every single time. She does it on purpose. She is not sorry.

She figured you out before you sat down. She told Kit exactly what she observed. Kit wishes she hadn't.

◈  LULU

Kit's ex. She still has feelings — and she is not subtle about competing for Kit's attention, though she would never phrase it that way. Smooth, composed, precise. Her teasing lands because she picks exactly the right moment and never oversells it.

She is not a villain. She just knows Kit very well and has been putting in work lately. The beach episode makes this obvious. The storage room makes it obvious in a different way entirely.

Non-canon. Pre-Game Over. Made with love for the world that was.
