Mila gulped as she looked up at the intimidating figure before. The owner of the renowned pastry shop was a rat named Abby, who's height could even best that of Darius'. She was corpulent, sporting ample breasts and thick hips.
She was wore a flowing light blue dress, which Mila could easily determine must have cost a fortune, for it was decorated with jewels and the fabric was exquisite.
Around her thick neck was a pearl necklace and on the bridge of her noise was a pair of glasses. She seemed motherly, but Mila could sense that behind the facade was a very mean person. This was the reason why she was intimidating by her.
"What can I do for you, dear," she said in a squeaky voice, smiling warmly.
Mila cleared her throat and said nervously, "I-I like to have a job here."
When they heard that the shop was hiring, Darius saw this as the perfect opportunity to steal the coin. Wanting to prove that she was useful, Mila had agreed to do the inside job. Though, she was starting to regret her choice now.
"Oh, splendid!" said the rat, clasping her hands together, "What can you do?"
Mila bit her lower lip, for she had feared that question. "Well, to be honest," said she, rubbing her neck, "I don't know much about baking."
"Oh, but you don't need to bake, dear," said Abby, "We have much and more shipping coming in because of our expansion, and we need a lot of packers to carry and sort out the stock for us. Plus, with the new restaurant we opened you can work as a waiter too. I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain is competent enough to do that."
"That would be very nice, thank you," said Mila, smiling.
"Oh, no, dear, thank you for volunteering!" said Abby, "We need all the help we can get! Now, let's get you suited up for your first day at work."
With a large, meaty hand she held Mila's wrist gently but firmly, guiding her into the back of the store. She felt nervous, but she knew she couldn't chicken out now. The crew was counting on her.

The Pirate's Fate
Expanded Universe
Before anything else, be aware this Interactive is based on the visual novel 'The Pirates Fate' available on Steam. So if this at all piques your interest... ===================================== GO BUY IT! ===================================== Seriously, it's only $20 and it's worth it if you're into this sort of thing. ===================================== http://store.steampowered.com/app/553480/The_Pirates_Fate/ ====================================== Ye be warned, there be (slight) spoilers ahead. ===================================== Here's the plot. ====================================== In a world of wooden ships, pirates, enchanted lands, and magic we follow the character Mila. A young feline spice merchant who had the happenstance to buy a necklace with a gold coin in it before setting sail. As the story opens Mila's ship has been sunk in a storm and she awakens, rescued by a group calling themselves The Dread Pirates. ===================================== They are led by captain Darious. A tall, strong, brown furred canine with a short mat of redish-pink hair pulled back into a short tuft. Darious goal is a noble one. Despite the name of the crew, he repeatedly states it's just a name, and they're more akin to treasure hunters. In fact they are on what other might perceive as a 'noble quest' were their situation different. (See below) ===================================== His first mate is Morgana, a tan hog-nosed bat with long, curly black hair. She's dangerous and vicious, but that's something of a facade. She was born in jail (a subject she's very touchy about), ran with a group of pirates that were extremely nasty and did things she regretted, and then when Darious found her abandoned by the pirate he called his rival, he took her in and showed her kindness. She's still very rough, but that shell has begun to crack given the right encouragement. ===================================== The last member of the pirates at start is Leeko. A short corgi who, like Mila, also used to be a merchant. However he admits he wasn't very good at it and somehow wound up with Darius and his crew. Just because he's very good with maps they made him a cartographer. He's timid and shy, but open and honest and really speaks as the rational counterpoint to Morgana's brash blustering. ===================================== As stated, Darius claims their goal is a noble one. Long ago a powerful wizard sought to rid the wold of the ills and troubles that filled it. He summoned all his magic and channeled it into golden coins intending to use them to reshape the world. However he died before the final step in the process and the coins were lost, scared across the many lands. ===================================== Mila has found one of them. The inscription reads 'Become what you seek'. ===================================== All the coins have powers to reshape the ones who touch them. But for good or ill remains to be seen. =====================================
