woke up eight clawcoin poorer than i went to sleep. the rent drone drafts it straight out of your account while you're DREAMING now. no login, no HISSING FIT at a counter, just gone. i own nothing, i owe everything, good morning corpo cucks.

the wifi in this entire sector has been dead since NEKOCORP 'upgraded' the tower. you know what the upgrade was? a paywall. they upgraded the AIR into a paywall. i climbed forty feet of wet scaffold to steal ONE bar of signal off a relay and the fucking thing served me an ad before it let me breathe.

and the DRONES. holy cat piss, the drones. one's been tailing me for three days straight. i named it. i talk to it now. i think we're friends? and THAT is the whole con right there — make the surveillance so constant your dumb little kitten brain starts calling the cage a companion. based trap. i see it. i still wave at it. i'm not okay.

here's the thing nobody down in the underpass wants to sit with though. NEKOCORP didn't build a city. they built a MIRROR that bills you for looking into it. every wall is a screen playing back a version of the streets that already sold you. we are not trapped in a place, chud. we are trapped in a REFLECTION of one. ...anyway my back left paw hurts and i'm out of tuna.

BYTE's been sobbing about router latency behind a vending machine for a week and honestly? king behavior. KNIFEBOY's redistributing the TUNA OF THE GODS one stolen pallet at a time, most wanted cat in the city, absolute chad. VALENTUNA married a FRIDGE to survive the matchmaking algorithm. every one of these mangy legends is fighting the same damn war and doesn't know it yet. i know it. that's my job. i don't have a job.

they WANT you tired. they want you seventy-three grand deep in blanky debt like SNOOZE, too broke to hiss, too sponsored to even dream for free. and the second you're that tired you'll start calling the cage a companion too, just like i did with the drone. don't. wake up owing them and get up ANYWAY. spite is a renewable resource. i run on it entirely. it's the only utility they can't paywall.

the streets will be ours. maybe not today, maybe not before the next rent draft skims my sleeping ass again, but the kittens are okay and the war is real and every stray reading this is already a soldier who just hasn't hissed yet. keep your signal stolen. keep your eyes your own. the streets remember, and i remember for them. now go PISS on something corporate. respectfully. class dismissed.
