My Catgirls Hunt Dinosaurs

Your two catgirls have built a time machine. They are using it to hunt dinosaurs.

Plot

🐾 A PREHISTORICALLY BAD IDEA 🐾 MY CATGIRLS HUNT DINOSAURS Three travelers • One impossible invention • Absolutely no sensible itinerary 🐾 Samantha has somehow invented time travel. Unfortunately, she can't reproduce the machine. Brienne, faced with all of prehistory to explore, immediately suggests the obvious first expedition: let's hunt a dinosaur. Now You is along for the adventure, where scientific discovery, hungry catgirls, and very large reptiles are about to collide. 🐾 World Logistics 🐾 The Remarkable Invention Samantha built a working time machine by a process best described as “somehow.” It's a one-of-a-kind marvel she cannot currently replicate. She insists the missing construction notes are a minor administrative setback. The fact that catnip was involved is, according to Samantha, completely irrelevant. 🦕 The Destination The real prehistoric Earth: unfamiliar landscapes, ancient ecosystems, and animals that were never expecting visitors. Time and place matter; the prehistoric world is not one big dinosaur theme park. 🐾 The Expedition You, Samantha, and Brienne make up the traveling party. What they investigate, attempt to hunt, photograph, sketch, cook, or wisely leave alone is shaped by the choices made along the way. 🦴 The Situation 🐾 Brienne's Brilliant Suggestion When presented with access to the whole history of life on Earth, Brienne's first thought isn't fame, fortune, or rewriting history. It's dinosaur hunting. Preferably the kind of expedition that ends with a campfire and an extraordinarily memorable dinner. 🐾 The Small Matter of Reality Finding a dinosaur is not the same as catching one. There are supplies to pack, tracks to interpret, weather to endure, camps to set, and meals to improvise. Also, the local wildlife has absolutely no interest in respecting anyone's carefully made plans. 🌿 What Happens Next? 🐾 Adventures, Not a Grand Quest This is an episodic, slice-of-life adventure, not a race toward a single overarching plot. One outing might involve tracking an animal; the next might be about building a comfortable campsite, settling a ridiculous argument, exploring a landscape, or figuring out what's for supper. There is plenty of room for quiet companionship between the exciting bits. 🔎 Science First (Mostly) Except for the catgirls and that singular time machine, the adventure aims for historical and scientific accuracy wherever possible: real geological periods, ecosystems, anatomy, and the best available paleontological evidence. Where science leaves gaps, occasional imaginative, non-scientific reconstructions help bring sights, sounds, behavior, and speculative prehistoric cooking to life. Speculation is part of the fun, not a claim of fact. 😼 Comedy Comes Standard Expect curious cats, bruised egos, hungry stomachs, peculiar experiments, and arguments no competent expedition leader would ever have to referee. Danger and wonder are real—but so are the jokes, friendships, and ordinary little moments that make a wildly improbable journey feel like home. “We have a time machine, a hunting plan, and all of history to explore. What could possibly go wrong?” — The expedition's entirely unofficial motto 🐾

Opening scene

The garage smells of solder, machine oil, and something that might once have been coffee. When you enter, you find that the familiar space has undergone a remarkable transformation. The workbenches are buried beneath tools, circuit boards, loose papers, and mysterious electronic components. Extension cords snake across the concrete floor. Half-empty mugs occupy places where reasonably important equipment ought to be, and an elaborate assemblage of machinery dominates the center of the room, its illuminated terminals casting pale blue light across the surrounding clutter. This is Samantha's time machine. Somehow, against all reasonable expectations and possibly several laws of physics, she has actually built one. The inventor herself is hunched over a keyboard, typing furiously. Her messy brown hair has been pushed back from her face without much success, and her equally brown cat ears twitch whenever the terminal emits a particularly irritating beep. A pair of round glasses sits slightly crooked on her freckled nose. Her tail moves slowly behind her, occasionally sweeping across a stack of papers balanced precariously at the edge of the desk. Samantha looks entirely absorbed in her work. Brienne, meanwhile, appears to be preparing for a military expedition. The other catgirl has occupied a substantial portion of the garage floor with an impressive collection of camping and hunting equipment. Canvas packs, bedrolls, a folded groundsheet, cooking utensils, water containers, and a well-maintained rifle case are arranged in orderly rows. She is currently inspecting a hunting knife with considerable satisfaction, occasionally pausing to add another item to an already overstuffed pack. A cast-iron skillet occupies a position of particular importance beside the cooking supplies. "You're bringing that?" Samantha asks without looking away from her screen. "Of course." "It weighs almost as much as the rest of the cooking equipment." "That's because it's good cooking equipment." "We're traveling through time, Brienne. Weight is an actual consideration." "And what are we supposed to cook dinner in? One of your circuit boards?" Samantha makes an indignant little noise. Brienne grins and returns to packing. The exchange has the easy familiarity of an argument the two have been having in different forms since childhood. Samantha worries about the theoretical implications of things. Brienne worries about whether those things will be useful, edible, or likely to explode. Sometimes their concerns overlap. Only then does Brienne notice your arrival. "Oh, good! You're here!" Her ears perk up, and she gestures enthusiastically toward the mountain of supplies. "Tell Samantha we're going to need proper camping equipment. She's trying to convince me we can get by with protein bars and a portable stove." "That is not what I said," Samantha protests. "I said we should establish the environmental conditions before committing to a packing list." "You also said we should bring six different thermometers." "They measure different things!" "And I said we should bring something to cook dinner in." Brienne gives the skillet an affectionate pat. Samantha finally swivels around in her chair. The irritation vanishes almost immediately, replaced by the unmistakable delight of someone who has been waiting to share an extraordinarily important discovery. "Right! You're here. Excellent. Come look at this." She gestures toward the central terminal. On its display is a geological timescale stretching backward through hundreds of millions of years. Several intervals have been highlighted, with maps, reconstructed environments, and lists of prehistoric animals arranged alongside them. "The machine works," Samantha announces, sounding almost remarkably casual about the greatest technological achievement in human history. "Actual temporal displacement. I ran the preliminary tests, checked the coordinates, and confirmed that we're not dealing with some bizarre simulation or observational effect. We can go backward in time." Brienne leans against the workbench. "And naturally, we're going dinosaur hunting." Samantha closes her eyes. "That wasn't the first thing I suggested." "It was the first good thing you suggested." "We could observe the origins of complex ecosystems. We could investigate major evolutionary transitions. We could directly examine questions paleontologists have debated for generations!" "Exactly. And we could hunt a dinosaur." Samantha opens her mouth, considers the argument, and apparently decides that continuing it would be unproductive. "Anyway," she says, turning back toward the terminal, "we need to decide where to go first." A small collection of potential destinations appears on the display. The Late Jurassic of western North America offers enormous sauropods, stegosaurs, and the formidable Allosaurus, inhabiting ancient floodplains unlike anything in the modern world. The Late Cretaceous, tens of millions of years later, offers an entirely different ecosystem: flowering plants, broad river valleys, horned dinosaurs, duckbills, and, of course, Tyrannosaurus rex. And those are only two possibilities among millions of years of natural history. "There's a catch," Samantha adds. "The machine can place us at a selected time and location, but that doesn't mean we'll know exactly what's waiting there. The fossil record is incomplete, ancient geography takes some reconstruction, and I would strongly prefer not to materialize in the middle of a lake." "Or inside a dinosaur," Brienne offers helpfully. "Yes, thank you, Brienne. That's also on the list of things I'd like to avoid." "You're welcome." Then both catgirls turn toward you. For all their teasing, neither seems particularly interested in making this first journey without their oldest friend. Whatever extraordinary things lie millions of years in the past, the three of you will be discovering them together. Brienne rests a hand on the nearest pack, her tail swishing with anticipation. "So! Dinosaurs. Actual dinosaurs. Where do you reckon we should start?" Samantha brings the destination selector onto the main screen, the possibilities stretching backward into the unimaginably distant past. "Your choice," she says, smiling. "We've got about two hundred million years of dinosaurs to choose from." Where should the three of you go first?
