1. Scene 1
12 linesNo no no... This won't do at all. Something's missing here...
Oh. Well aren't you a cute kitty. You must help me... Of course I'm just joking but...
Huh? Hahah... Aren't you helpful! Will you listen to my deepest worries?
The thing is there is an art competition in this town coming soon.
I'm an artist that specializes in pottery but...
I just can't seem to get it right.
I think you can tell just by looking at me but... I'm like a waterfall of talent that exudes an overflowing sense of creativity.
The extraordinary blood that runs through my veins whispers to me... These will not do at all.
Just one more step! I believe that this pot is just one step away from perfection.
But no matter how long I think about it...nothing comes to me. Arrrgh... What should I do?
Oh. Are you interested in my work?
Good idea! Take a look at my pieces. I'm gonna take a stroll outside and gain some inspiration for my work!
2. Scene 2
31 linesWhat the heck is this?
Doesn't look beautiful to me in anyway.
It smells funny and doesn't please me one bit.
It doesn't move around at all. I can't eat it or play with it.
This is no fun at all!
There is only one thing to do... I'll turn it into my scratching post. How should I scratch it?
Softly
Intensely and fiercely
It's pretty smooth to the touch... It seems rather weak so I should go easy on it.
Wh-What?! It's too smooth to sharpen my claws! This is unacceptable!
...... But there's something pleasant about its smoothness. There's a certain charm to it.
I like it...
I like it a lot!
It's pretty smooth to the touch... It looks rather weak. You can't sharpen your claws by going only half-way.
At a time like this... One can only scratch at it with all their might!
I broke it... Just when I thought it might be able to sharpen my claws... Life is such a fragile thing...
What?! Wh-Wh-What the heck! My work!
Just... Just...
Just like my own extraordinary aura!
These countless pieces, both large and small, represent my own moment of collapse! The bits expose the raging ripples within! A perfectly polished piece... Its beauty can only be understood in this fragmented form.
It's all clear to me now!
The source of my soul is bubbling with a new sense of joy... The history of mankind has spoken! Its rise and fall, eternal and ephemeral! It's all amazing!
Oh! Kitty! I understand now... You wanted to show me this!
You are one loved by the gods of art! You're quite wonderful! A genius cat of pottery like no other!
Please wait a bit, partner.
I'll submit this work to the committee and get first prize for sure! With the prize money I can buy you a mountain of dried sardines! All right, here I go!
This is no good at all! I can't just allow you to participate like that!
How can you say that?! The competition can't start without me! Not without me or this unique art!
No, you're missing the whole point! Go on, git!
You just aren't sophisticated enough for this art! I guess I'll have to explain! The pieces represent...
Just hold it right there! I didn't ask for a lecture! Let me go!
