Anthony works in the grocery store, saving his pennies for some day.
Mama Leone left a note on the door, saying 'Sonny, move out to the country'.
Ahh, but working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You oughta know by now...
So, when this week's theme was given as Moving Out my brain jumped to the Billy Joel song of that name. And given that it is a song very much about 'keeping up with the Joneses', working class folk selling out and mortgaging themselves to pretend to higher status, and the pointlessness of doing so... well, the cyberpunk background of Huntress seemed appropriate. The 'punk' part is about the rebellion against the entrenched system, after all.
As a result, this little scene pretty much wrote itself in my head, just a retail clerk getting a peripheral glance at events seriously above his pay grade.
And hey, not a last minute update this time!
And it seems such a waste of time,
If that's what it's all about.
Mama, if that's 'moving up' then I'm... moving out!

In the background of the original Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 tabletop role-playing game (the same world background as the recent Cyberpunk 2077 computer game) there was a gang called The Kennedys who all had plastic surgery to look like a member of the Kennedy family. Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 also had rules for Exotic biosculpting in Chromebook 2, which is how humans with enough money transformed themselves into animal-people.
Yeah, I was always using Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 for my inspiration for these characters, just not mentioning any actual names from the games. And this world ends up going on a rather different direction later, but that's all in the novel that I still need to finish cleaning up. (It has actually been fully written, but when something was written piece by piece over years, continuity issues do tend to crop up.)

I've been told there are some NPCs with exotic biosculpts in the video game, but only dragon/scaled forms, not furry. Haven't played it myself yet, mostly due to too many other games in my queue already.
But you are far from the only person to have commented about that. Granted, around this site, there's a whole lot of selection bias involved as to who would be interested...
