The Hyena And His Demanding Cat

Eighteenth Critter: Icelandic Rainbow Penguins, Opening Acrostic

Eighteenth Critter: Icelandic Rainbow Penguins, Opening Acrostic

Oct 29, 2026


"Everything about that New Mexico Alien SoulCritter search was so weird, and great, now

I have deep ethanol burns from a fallout zone, cough, cough,

Gah, and I

Have work

Today, too, cough, cough,

You know, I can't believe there's still


Eighty eight aliens

I have to find SoulCritters for, I don't

Get why the other people the CEO tried roping into this

Haven't had any success? I

Truly don't understand


At all, ugh, it's

Like they're deliberately taking the others to places their SoulCritters aren't, ugh,

I just don't get it, not

Even a little,

Nothing makes

Sense anymore, I feel


Like, they only want me to actually help them,

Everyone in the work group chat said the same thing, they

Failed, they weren't able

To find


The aliens their SoulCritters,

Obviously they're just taking my coworkers in places they know their SoulCritters aren't just because, ugh, why? Ha ha ha ha, I can


Feel the mothership about to call me any minute now, gleep glorp, we need you again today

In, in, in, in, in Antarctica to find our SoulCritters

No, no, no, Iceland, no Greenland, cough, cough, ugh, why

Do I feel so hot? I don't know, I don't know, sigh, and I bet if I have


To go to Greenland or Iceland, Mr. Tux will demand I ski with

Him just to show off,

Even

If the aliens

Roar with me to


Say, gleep glorp take this seriously,

Or else we'll eat your SoulCritter,

Ugh, ugh, just, ugh

Let's prepare myself for

Constant

Ridiculous demands

I probably can't say no

To! Which, I know

They're going to

End up

Ramping up those numbers

Soon,


I'll have to help twenty a day


And then they

Might demand I


Give them all

Of my attention,

It's just so annoying, I will

Never see my apartment again, hooray,

Guess I'll be moving onto


The spaceship, wo hoo, I am

Outer space bound, cough, cough,


Agh, whatever, I have to focus on work,

Since I have been hearing

Something strange ended

Up happening in demon junction yesterday while I was in New

Mexico, Mexico and Central America,

Eh not sure what, but


Things feel like they

Have

Ended up going from bad to worse,

Yikes, I


Will have my work cut out for me,

I can feel it! Not

Like I haven't had my work cut out for me for

Literal ages now, but


Does it matter? It doesn't

Especially, but what else is new, nothing 

May

As well tattoo, I

Never catch a break smack

Down the center of my forehead,


Ha ha ha ha

Even more so now, with the alien

Load I have on my

Plate, and now I have to pay my bills


For the month soon, too, the messy home tax bill's coming, ugh I bet they're going to do a

Reinspection in a couple

Of

Months to drain


Me of my savings, too, hooray

Everything


Must go, estate tax, ha ha ha ha!

Of course they're going to do that, that

Rancid king will probably

End up introducing an excess electricity tax too,


Oh, I can

Feel it now, I'll have no money left

To do anything, not

Even buy food, ha ha ha,

Nothing to my name but


Constant bills, taxes

And a demanding SoulCritter who is

Never satisfied, and this


Is the cat I was supposed to be destined to find, it's a load of


Garbage, look, I don't want aliens to

Eat him and all

That, but he's still


A huge money sink, 


Barely anything has changed since the

Really late summer and it probably won't

Ever, but

Ah well, this is what I signed up for,

Koff, cough, ugh,


Please hacks of doom,

Leave me alone, I have work today,

Eh, and

Aliens to help, I

Swear the CEO probably won't

Even pay me for this project either,


Not like I care, but still,

Oh, well,


Oh well, if

He doesn't, he doesn't,


Why should I

Even care, it's not

Like it matters, not

Like it ever will. Here's to another four days of nonstop work, yay!"

Siorc, a twenty four year old hyena chimera is soulcritterless in a thankless job in Enig, Sweden. Until, one day, his life is changed by a black cat whose tail he just happens to be his. He is his soulcritter.

But, there's just one problem.

He's one demanding cat.

This is the story of animal companions and their partners. Or, is there some invasion ready to happen as well?
