Part Ten – The Nervous Investors
Part Ten – The Nervous Investors
Panel 1:
- Visual: The WhiskerCart boardroom. Sitting across from Cocoa is Mr. Sterling, a ruthless Wall Street analyst who is literally a Vulture in a sharp, expensive grey suit. Next to him is a sweating human junior analyst holding a tablet showing a downward trend.
- Vulture Analyst: “The Halloween site crash cost us millions. And the viral video of you attacking Victor’s shoes? Our confidence is wavering, Cocoa.”
Panel 2:
- Visual: Cocoa is sitting at the head of the table, completely unbothered, casually grooming her paw. Buster the Golden Retriever is standing next to her, wagging his tail nervously and holding up a pie chart that says “Good Boy Metrics”.
- Buster: “But our Q4 fetch projections are up 15%! And morale is great!”
- Vulture Analyst: (Looking unimpressed) “Stick to the financials, dog.”
Panel 3:
- Visual: Cocoa stops grooming. She locks intense, unblinking eyes on the Vulture. She slowly reaches out with one paw toward a full glass of water sitting on the edge of the table in front of the Vulture.
- Cocoa: “I don’t negotiate with scavengers.”
Panel 4:
- Visual: Smash! Cocoa has deliberately pushed the glass off the table. Water is splashing all over the Vulture’s expensive suit and important documents. The human analyst is gasping in horror. Cocoa looks incredibly satisfied.
- Vulture Analyst: (Sputtering, feathers ruffled) “You… you absolute menace!”
- Cocoa: “Meeting adjourned.”
