The first thread featuring Astrocracy as a world and the source of most information pertaining to the setting.

Synopsis

Demon Cam is summoned by Fireheart. Over the course of endeavoring to improve the cats' lives, he discovers the differences between his home world and the world he's been summoned to.

Summary

Due to the thread being over 200 pages and still updating, the following summary is a work in progress.

• Cam is summoned and discovers that he can now speak a language that consists of meowing.
  • He learns that cats can't understand human speech and of the clan/kittypet divide.
  • When consulting a video of a cat from Revelation meowing, he can't understand it. He discovers that one of the local human languages is extremely similar to English.
• While Fireheart, his summoner, requests permission from his clanmates to introduce Cam to them, Princess shows up to investigate. 
  • She doesn't find it surprising that Cam meows at her, but is surprised that he can say anything more advanced than "hello" and understand her when she speaks.
  • Cam refuses to tell her about any cats he already saw, to her frustration, but agrees to pass on to Cloudpaw and Fireheart that she was looking for them.
  • Fireheart returns with Sandstorm and Cinderpelt. When Cam passes along Princess' message, Fireheart and Sandstorm leave to find her, leaving Cam alone with Cinderpelt.
• Cinderpelt has questions for Cam about human lifestyle and habits!
  • He answers her questions the best he can, revealing that he used to be a nonmagical human before he died, that he has demon powers, and that he has medical training that can be applied to said powers.
  • Cinderpelt asks Cam to heal her leg, which was injured in a car accident. He's willing to help, but cautious about anesthetizing her properly. They decide to wait until Fireheart and Sandstorm get back to proceed with the plan.
  • While they wait, Cam tells her about how humans practice medicine and introduces her to germ theory.
• Fireheart, Sandstorm, and Princess return, Princess having gotten injured running away from a dog.
  • With Princess' permission, Cam cleans and repairs the cut on her foot. Also with her permission, he pets her, which she enjoys.
  • Cinderpelt asks to be healed next. Sandstorm and Fireheart are suspicious, mostly that Cam might try to demand payment that they wouldn't want to or be able to give. Cam assures them that he just wants to establish positive relations with the clans.
  • In lieu of poppyseeds, Cam wants to use lidocaine as a painkiller. A basement dweller test doesn't uncover any allergic reactions, but a test on Cinderpelt reveals that it doesn't work as a painkiller. She decides to do it very quickly with poppyseeds and a stick to bite on.
  • The operation is a success! Cam burns the basement dweller and injured leg and Cinderpelt goes for an experimental run.
