Puppet or Puppeteer (800 words) ::
- Fearful. Jumpy. Easily scared. And yet caring, and would protect someone if he could, if only those nightmares would leave. Those words represented the personality assigned to him, and they ran through Sinto's head as he looked up sadly at his newest victim, his eyes begging for help yet fearful of the viscet before him. His fur was knotted and dirty, with patches obviously sliced and torn off. His nails were dull, blunted uneven, and he was cowering under a rag, to complete the picture. The viscet, like all others before her who relented to their kind nature, crouched down, looking at him worryingly. "Who did this to you?" She said, echoing the voices of Sinto's past victims. She was too kind, to open to strangers! If only he could warn her of what was going to happen, tell her that the strings wrapped around him were not the results of another's actions, but a warning for her not to get too close. He wouldn't dare going against the agency though, and so kept his thoughts silent as he repeated the act done for many others.
"P...please don't dig into this, I don't want you to get hurt. Please, just leave..." He let his voice drift into silence, and dropped his head, his eyes tightly shut. He knew what she was going to say, and inwardly he suddenly fumed at her kindness. Why were viscets so open to others? Are they begging to be controlled, like a puppet on a string? The agency, for the past few months, targeted the week and kind, sending agents like himself to control them and bring them to the agency's side bases. The public didn't seem too concerned with disappearing viscets, since it wasn't something that impacted their lives. But it did! The agency is planning something, but he had no idea what, and he was in no position to ask. He excelled at controlling others, sure, but in the end, the agency was the puppeteer, and he had no choice but to obey their will.
"I'll be OK, so we should report this, find whoever put you in such a mess and patch you up." She reached out a paw to rest on his shoulder, but he shied away, lowering his head and body even further, like he wanted to sink into the ground.
"Please go, I'm all right, you're just jumping to conclusions." He wasn't looking, but he could almost sense her pity and her concerned expression. "Leave me..." He whispered, but she inched closer, cautiously patting his paw.
"Everything's going to be OK, I'll show you..." She replied, and he sighed quietly, knowing she was wrong and was doomed to an unknown fate. I'm sorry I have to put you through this. He thought as he allowed himself to be led away.

"Ah, good job Sinto! I've always known your acting and controlling skills were reliable. Well, that should be the last subject we need, but no worries, we have another job for you to do." They always told him what to do through recording, never in person. Secrecy and whatnot for the agency. Sinto nodded to himself, lost in his thoughts. If only he wasn't so good at acting. If only he never fell in with the agency in the first place. Maye he would be like any other viscet, happily living out life, unconcerned and uncaring about dark plots made by others. He glanced at the pictures on the wall of his room, reminiscing about the past. What was his reason for joining the agency? It was so long ago, he forgot the burning passion he had back then, a strong reason for joining, a reason beyond the sinfulness of controlling others. He had never wanted to be a puppeteer of others, nor be a puppet to a dark organization, but something had compelled him to become who he is today. What was it? Maybe it was so insignificant, a small matter, and that's why he couldn't remember. Maybe, like in all those action series Sinto loves so dearly, it was fate that brought him here. Puppets of fate. Wow I'm rambling to myself. He shook his head and got up, deciding to leave his reasoning behind.
After all, he had a job to do.
