Nipclub April 30th, 2026, Sekurity Update by Slinky, @Slinky_the_Cat, Sekurity Agent, Late Nite shift
It is staff appreciation night again; this time for the team at Snick’s Sekurity! I finally got my appreciation night! Does that mean I have the night off? A sekurity officer’s work is never done! It means I can relax, have fun, and not worry about interlopers tonight.
Alfie was setting up in the DJ booth when I walked in, and he announced I was on duty. I wore a tuxedo tonight; a tuxie cat in a tux. It seemed like the party called for something extra!
Angus and Pearl were already there; Pearl was behind the bar and always liked to start with the sweets first, so she put out a tray of cookies shaped like badges, squad cars, donuts and handcuffs! They were amazingly cute. Plus, there were sweet and colorful cocktails!
Harvey was there, and he mentioned his mum was tired. He’d been experimenting with editing software called Canva, and it piqued my interest. He’s working on logo design for the C.W.A., the Cat Writers Association. I wasn’t familiar with the group, but it sounded interesting. The logo design example he showed looked nice.
Mizz Bassie arrived when Angus and I were talking about tequila, specifically Patron tequila. His new, stylish haircut drew attention, making his short, curly tail appear more attractive. Most of his floof was gone!
Pearl and Harvey were talking about sci movies and books while we were sitting at the bar, having drinks. The discussion was about a book that was hard science fiction as opposed to fantasy Sci-Fi; the book was called Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It sounded great, so I added it to my Kindle queue.
TJS appeared, and I asked if he was staying, as it was our party! TJS stayed this time, which was very unusual! Pearl made espresso niptinis, and we danced all over the place.
LATE NITE started, and Moo showed up for it and wanted to have a drink with me! She was mostly incognito earlier, so this was a pleasant surprise! Angus and Raven tag-teamed the music, and Pearl made gigantic blue margaritas.
Pearl mentioned a swarm of honeybees at her house, and we all talked about different bees like the Africanized bees, native bees, and the friendly black carpenter bees, etc.
Harvey showed us a photo of the cutest black bird called a black robin. It’s so cute it looks like a cartoon bird.
No one was in the DJ booth, so I snuck in and played a couple of classic ‘70s rock and roll songs: Aerosmith’s “Last Child” and Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”.
It was late and time for Pearl to head out, so I went behind the bar and made some Thai-spiced fresh oysters and more drinks. Then I made some B-52 shot cocktails and served them with matching music- “Love Shack” by the B-52s!
Time to make dessert as Angus jumped into the DJ booth and played a yacht rock set, including the classic one-hit wonder by Looking Glass, “Brandy”. I mentioned that there is a brilliant cover of that song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their Live in Hyde Park album from several years ago.
It was time to wind it down, since it was just the two of us left. I set out a couple of to-go bags with leftover pizza and cookies, locked up the bar, and we both headed out.
Until next week!
