The Outfitters

Not long after, the two reached a building that reminded James of a cross between a hospital and a mall, with groups of people and human pets entering the two distinct entrances. one towards the mall side and another towards the hospital.

“Boy, once we enter this building, you must answer the questions of the staff directed towards you using your human words truthfully and follow their instructions,” Chris said to James as they approached the medical entrance.

“Hello, what are you two in for today?” the Receptionist asked, directed more toward the assumed owner in her most friendly business tone.

“We’re here for human pet registration and processing,” Chris said as a notification came across the Receptionist’s computer.

“You’re just in luck; the staff in charge of both those processes are currently free due to a last-minute cancelation and absence of walk-ins. I’ll send you to the back after you fill in the basic information. I assume you want to do that for your pet as well?” The Receptionist asked Chris, who nodded yes before handing him the two forms he quickly filled out while sending a reply.

After filling out the forms, the Receptionist led the two down the hall behind her, splitting the pair up, leaving Chris in a room resembling a Therapist’s office, and taking James to the medical room where a bald doctor waited.

“Here is the person awaiting the pet procedure,” the Receptionist told the doctor.

“Oh good, you’re here. Let’s get started quickly, first a psyche eval, then an understanding evaluation, next the consent check, and lastly the pre-procedure adjustments before finally reuniting them with their master and the final procedure,” the doctor said, ushering the Receptionist out of the room.
