<h2>Costumer’s Guild Raffle</h2>
<p>The Beyond Reality Costumer’s Guild is sponsoring a raffle!

<h2>It’s Just Yogurt</h2>
<p>It has come to our attention that rumors have been circulating regarding the “geek yogurt” on sale at the convention being made of geeks. The editoral staff has found no evidence with which to substantiate said rumors.</p>

<p>The Fiction of Norwescon 39</p>
<h3>Felis Catus</h3>
<p>by Matthew Buscemi</p>
<p>What an outfit!” the lizard said. “Didn’t your mother teach you how to dress yourself?”</p>
<p>I looked down at the cage beside my feet. The creature contained within was perhaps a meter long and rainbow-striped from head to tail. It wrapped its claws into the grill and stared up at me with beady purple eyes.</p>
<p>I proceeded into the store silently. Engaging genesplics is generally a bad move. If they’re telepathic, that will only give them better access to your thoughts.</p>
<p>The shop was a cavern of a place. Wire mesh and glass and plastic formed twisting passages.</p>
<p>A dog here, a fish there, those were the mostly normal ones. Other genesplics represented more ambitious endeavors. A horse the size of a wolf with the head and neck of a giraffe. I passed a dozing mini-lion with scales instead of fur. Finally, I came to the counter at the back of the room. It stood empty. I stood and stared at the empty wall inset with a dull wooden door.</p>
<p>I searched the counter with my eyes, and discovered a holographic call button. I pressed it, and waited. And waited. I crossed my arms, glancing back at the monstrosities behind me. Having nearly given up, I turned to leave, but the creaking of the wooden door caught me, and I jumped, flustered.</p>
<p>A man peered out, older. His long fingers curled around the doorframe and his eyes bulged, unfriendly, even hostile.</p>
<p>“What do you want?”</p>
<p>I shifted my eyes to the counter. “To buy something.”</p>
<p>“Something? Animals are things to you, are they?”</p>
<p>Indignation welled up within me. “You’re selling them, aren’t you?”</p>
<p>He released a snort. “I suppose I am.”</p>
<p>He strode out from behind the door and stood before his counter. “Well?”</p>
<p>“A cat,” I said.</p>
<p>His face dropped. “Can you be more specific?”</p>
<p>I pursed my lips and did my best to smile.</p>
<p>“Just a cat.”</p>
<p>“You know how many breeds of cat there are?”</p>
<p>“Yes.”</p>
<p>He rolled his eyes. “Well?”</p>
<p>“I want a <em>felis catus</em>.”</p>
<p>He blinked a few times.</p>
<p>“Not a genesplic,” I huffed. “A regular cat. No scales, vocal chords, or telepathy. Just a cat.”</p>
<p>The man shifted his weight. “I can get you a <em>felis catus sonus</em>. Best I can do.”</p>
<p>I smiled weakly. It’s not enough that it looks like a <em>felis catus</em>. A creature that can fell airborne prey with mentally generated sonic waves is not a cat.</p>
<p>“I’m sorry I wasted your time.” I turned to leave.</p>
<p>“Wait,” the man said. “I can, but it’ll be expensive.”</p>
<p>“How much?”</p>
<p>He told me the price, and I took a moment to work through my deep inner consternation. The things we silly humans do for a little companionship. “Fine.”</p>
<p>He retreated into the mysterious place behind the wooden door. After some time, he returned holding a stripy orange tabby in his arms.</p>
<p>I held up my computer. “May I?”</p>
<p>“Sure,” the proprietor said. He set the cat down on the counter, held him in place, and I initiated my usual gamut of programs. Forty-seven biogenetic scans later, I witnessed a first-time occurrence: the stripy furball had passed my entire suite of genetic tests.</p>
<p>“Huh,” I said. “<em>Felis catus</em>.”</p>
<p>The cat let out an adorable meow.</p>
<p>I paid, still apprehensive about the cost, but at long last I had my cat. I pulled him into my arms. At first glance, I’d thought him fat, now I could tell this guy was a big ball of muscle.</p>
<p>I thanked the owner and turned, carrying the cat through the maze of cages. My big orange bundle curled up in my arms, narrowed his eyes, and yawned. I approached the exit.</p>
<p>“Pfft,” the lizard hissed. “Fat, lazy lummox.”</p>
<p>“Look who’s talking, you rainbow pansy,” said the cat.</p>
