Over time, Jay had fallen into a bit of a rhythm. He would wake up in the morning and go to work, spending the day at whatever train stations they sent him to based on the nature of what needed to be done that day, then after work he would either go directly to Tinker’s Lot for a few hours, or he’d go to Mafaton and pick up some rats if he was running low. On this particular day, he was running low.
When he went to the pet store, as he often did, he lingered by the snakes. Getting a snake would certainly allay any suspicions that may form that he was, quite simply, eating the feeder rats that he bought, but snakes were very expensive. He certainly wouldn’t want to get one and just eat it right away. Maybe if he got a male and a female of the same species, though, he could breed them for a steady supply of a higher quality food, or at the very least use the offspring to flavor the rats that he ate to make them taste a bit better.
He resolved to do this, but not at once. It would be difficult to transport all the supplies needed, after all, in addition to a snake and the feeder rats he’d need, so instead he settled on getting the largest tank he could find for the future snakes, as well as getting as many supplies as he could fit inside the tank for ease of transportation, as well as some rats for himself.
It was a bit difficult carrying all that back to his apartment, but he was definitely glad he did so before actually getting some snakes. He’d get more supplies over time, and then after that might have to save a few weeks before getting the actual snakes, but he figured that should increase the quality of his meals.
Later, after getting everything home and settled, Jay headed back out to Tinker’s Lot, spending the day improving and modifying the Pigeon Trap he was designing, which was now a thing of gears and metal that travelled on four legs and was powered by crystals.
