Los Eurosia Wildlife Alliance. Misti had frequently cycled past it as a kid. She’d dreamed of working there one day, patching up hawks and raising motherless puppies…[break][break]
The universe made it clear to her that playing piano was her intended path. She wasn’t entirely sure if she believed in fate, but she certainly believed she was good at what she was raised to do. It was too late to change course and try something else.[break][break]
Nevertheless, Misti had chosen to volunteer at the Alliance that day. She had an open weekend; a client had cancelled on her at the last minute.[break][break]
She’d volunteered a few times before and probably annoyed the organisers with her inconsistency (she could almost hear the volunteer manager roll his eyes when she gave her name), but there weren’t many places in Los Eurosia that would turn away free labour. This time she was delegated to cleaning up the cattery, which could be done without needing a paid member of staff to move the animals out of the way.[break][break]
Unfortunately she’d been delegated a partner as well: a gregarious older woman who’d seemed taken aback when Misti pointed out that being so chatty wasn’t efficient. [break][break]
She felt a bit guilty when she later turned around and saw the other woman had left without a word. And yet, Misti did seem to get the job done a lot quicker without the other woman’s aid. The cats seemed happier with the quiet as well.[break][break]
Having completed her checklist of tasks, she knew she should probably return to the volunteer room and get coffee (or be forced to make and hand out coffee) with the others. She checked her phone for the time. She was ahead of schedule; if she headed back now, she would definitely be on hand-out duty. Her scorned partner was probably already there, telling everyone how rude she was – maybe it was best to stay in the cattery for a bit longer.[break][break]
Sighing, she let herself into one of the small rooms that held two bonded sibling cats. Their elderly owner had passed away and they'd been given to the shelter to be rehomed together, but the surly temper of one of them was making it more difficult than the staff expected. She slid down the wall and closed her eyes, sitting with her legs crossed. She was sure if she sat there long enough, at least the friendlier of the two would get curious and come over to say hello.[break][break]
OOC: Feel free to join her or Nell could drag her out to help with vet things or they could try to catch an escaped animal together idk <3[break][break]
