Lets pretend I didn't read the original plot

Beast Business 3.1

Rayne

I hope this is a zombie world, I hope this is a zombie world. That way I can kill away my frustrations at this janky systems habit of yanking me out at the good be and no feel bad about it. Else in a few more goes I won't care if it's a zombie world or not.

Muttering to myself I shake my head trying to clear the weird fuzziness and ringing in my ears. Then I realise that my ears aren't ringing but rather a cacophony of shouting is the source of the sound. I was standing on a platform overlooking a moderately sized swimming pool, and a large group of people with various animal characteristics; ears, tails, scales and wings stood around below shouting at me.

"Jump, Jump."

"Swim, Swim"

"Come on possum don't chicken out."

Yeah, system it would be nice if one of these days you gave me the plot and goals before I woke up in the middle of who knows what.

In an effort to avoid or at least lesson some of the noise I dive into the pool and start to swim. This will totally be OOC if the character didn't know how to swim. I smirk slightly in the water at the thought of the shock that would coincide with that considering that swimming was my favourite form of exercise. Ignoring the rest of the world I just swim one lap after another after another. If nothing else this body was very fit I didn't feel tired even after swimming for a long time.

Plot uploading....

Hmm, system are you ill you sound almost like you might be useful. Mid turn I flounder a bit as the wave of information hits me. This was a Beastskin world. Where apart from the regular human population one third of people bore traits of and could shift into a beast form there seemed to be a Beastskin race for every animal ever existing on earth as well as a few that hadn't existed.

I was a gliding possum or rather a great glider, the largest specifies of gliding possums, still my human for was still on the petite size. Though this begs the question of what the egging to swim was about since I'm a treetop, light air marsupial, whatever the human part of me is all terrain.

As part of a conservation of races initiative young beastskin where being 'boarded' at specialised integration schools to better blend the cultures that had been segregated. Unfortunately, the schools where focused on the integration of Beastskin and humans and were set up by humans with input from individual Beastskin race elders about the needs of their cubs. No consideration was given to the fact that the Beastskin races themselves didn't tend to get along or more accurately would be equally likely to rip the throats out of a different race as they would a human. Hence my current suffering of a poor attempt at hazing. At least they carefully implemented the no blood no death rule that was leading to heavy discipline by the race elders so life and limb are fairly safe.

The plot of the world revolved around the sweet love story of a red tail deer Beastskin and a rich second generation human involved in the entertainment industry. Huh, since this is a BL story does that mean I wont have to deal with the equivalent of inner court harem tricks?

Predictably the poor deer shifter was bullied by the carnivore Beastskins in the school, primarily a lion beastskin and his pride, until the dashing human steps in to save him. So where just going to ignore the fact that the whole pride of lion's shouldn't have had any trouble dealing with one famous soft skinned human and the fact that a good Stag deer gets a rack on it sufficient to toss a lion like fresh fruit salad?

Interestingly my roll was that of the deer's subject of pity, suffering the bulling first until the deer stepped forward to take all the attention right as I was adopted. After the adoption, my character only appeared again to congratulate the deer upon his engagement with the human and is depicted as having moved to a better place and lived well. Wow, this is so cliché I think that there should be suits for the rip offs. I kinda don't even want to remember their names. So let's not if I play this right I'll have zero interactions with them.

Character Goals

Survive until adoption 1/20

Live a happy life after adoption 0/20

Capture the hidden boss 0/20

Teach the carnivores a good lesson 0/20

Huh? System are you sick or er rather have you caught a virus? No stupid extraneous choices or leaving the goals for the last second the issue must be terminal.

System update has been accepted.

Changes:
Goals are now to be displayed upon mission start.
Choice options only displayed at crucial plot points.
Primary play goal altered from character reformation to character enjoyment.
Automatic close of game zone world altered from Mission completion to natural death or on request.
Fast track clearance removed.

Wow it really had an update. Suspicious as hell but the setting changes seem like I wont get kicked into the next game at some arbitrary point now?

Host please make a choice

Avoid predator
Leave the pool
Counter predator attack

Huh? A sudden splash follows the entry of another person into the pool rolling over I examine the entrant. It's a Wolfskin. Let alone aquatic not even an amphibian beast? Hehe, system wish granted I choose to counter the predator. I have older siblings no way a non-fish beast is going to beat me in the water.
