Letters to Super C: #17
Dear Super C,
Although I've talked to you in person, the C.I.D.F. had asked for written documentation of my transformation, so I hope this letter I am writing to you is a way to do just that. I'll recap for you what I've said in a different letter I wrote to Cripto; it's a good thing I type these, and use the shortcut keys to copy and paste. I turned out to be a unique case. Whereas he is are forever stuck as a tiger, I apparently gained the ability to shapeshift into any character I want to be. My default appearance, though, is a wildcat, because it looks like the wildcat mascot of WU. Why? It references all the times I got to perform in the costume. As a wildcat, I also grew several inches, so I now stand at 6'3" instead of 5'9". I began to do everything barefoot as a result because my feet were too big for my shoes. But with the powers I have now (see below), I'll have new shoes in no time.
Being the mascot all those years helped me out strongly when the NBA's OKC Thunder recruited me as a temporary substitute performer to take on the role of Rumble the Bison, whom I believe to be one of the best if not the best mascots out there. But then I got to meet the real Rumble, and all his animal friends who are real-life counterparts to all the animal mascots in NBA. I remembered hearing stories about some of the times where you, out of boredom and misery, brought a bunch of characters to life (i.e. Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends) because you had nobody to talk to who would listen to you. So my first question in this letter is this: did you or somebody else wish for the mascots?
The university is getting a new mascot costume, though, and they wanted to generously offer me the old costume as a gift, only to discover I was a wildcat. However, I still accepted the gift as a thank you, because I can actually still be a human at times. What CNG did to me, therefore, is this: in public, or when I am at home and don't have the costume on, everybody will always see me as an animal. The only times I turn human again are when I have to go to the bathroom, and all the doors are closed and locked, or when I am in public and using one of those restrooms, where the doors are locked. (For whatever reason, Dad had installed locks on all the bathroom doors at home so that nobody would have the embarrassing case of opening the door while somebody was sitting down on the throne. These are the same locks you might have seen on public restrooms, where when the door is locked, you can see a sticker, or whatever it is, with the word "VACANT" written on it in white text against a green background. When it is locked, you can see the words "IN USE" written in white text against a red background. I think that's genius; I just didn't see practical use for it in the home. But Dad was trying to protect me, he says, because while I'm an only child, we babysat our cousins quite a lot, and some of them were more trouble than they were worth.) This also applies if I am taking a shower, so long as the doors are locked, and I do always lock them. But when I am done with what I need to do, I go back to being the animal I was, whether it was one of my own, or whether it was me pretending to be Zeke the Big Bad Wolf, as seen in those Disney cartoons.
I can only shapeshift, however, when nobody sees me, but I can do this by snapping my fingers after saying out loud to myself what I want to be. (I also have to be specific, though; if I want to appear as Tony the Tiger, for example, and I just say Tony's name, I'll be what he is in his default appearance: a naked tiger with an ascot that has his name on it. If I want Tony to appear in a drum major uniform, but marching on his bare feet and not wearing shoes, I would have to mention that detail, and then mention what sort of uniform I would wear. The first time I tried this, I was Tony in a uniform identical to WU's marching band uniforms, and then I played military drum cadences I had memorized on my concert snare drum.)
I mention my condition, however, because I also want to mention this: whereas Cripto and I are on total opposite ends of the musical spectrum (I am more geared towards the marching band and classical side of music, with a little bit of jazz, whereas he is pure hard rock), we are both on the autism spectrum, and I was fascinated to discover just how much we had in common from talking to you the first time we officially met. There's a chance my level may be more severe than yours is, but I don't know how severe. All I know is I am not a high-functioning autistic individual like you, but neither am I a low-functioning autistic. I may be closer to being high-functioning, but I think I fall somewhere in between. I had people saying that I looked ugly, and my voice was ugly, but it was my fault for wanting the spotlight over and over again. I say this because I used to be overweight, but through no fault of my own, because Dad was overweight. I tried to eat healthy because I wasn't sensitive to the textures of certain foods like rice or vegetables. Then, almost miraculously, my metabolism decided to get its act together and start working again, and so I lost weight in a heartbeat, prompting my grandma to think I had mono or some other disease that caused it. I didn't. (The CNG effects have obviously kept me in perfect shape no matter what I eat.)
However, I liked to sing and dance as a kid, based on certain things I had seen on television, and that was part of the reason for the bullying. The bulk of it, though, came from the fact I was just an easy target. I don't think I had any outbursts like the ones Cripto had, but I was always upset with the constant targeting. When I lost weight, it started to disappear, but it was still there. I don't think it ever stopped until my junior year of high school, but by the time I got to high school, I was the typical "band geek," and the bullies were your typical jocks. (Sadly, CNG killed off the jocks.) My talent level, though, while nowhere near the Forsythian levels, was much further advanced than everybody else's, and percussion is my field. I can't help but wonder if CNG boosted me to the Forsythian levels; do you know?
During my freshman year of high school, though, I was selected to be the mascot, and I soon found I had a talent for performing in costumes. I'd be able to do the dances moves and such (as well as play the drums) in the costume, and I wouldn't have people picking on me. It therefore became the highlights of my times at school. It almost felt as if I became an entirely different person inside. This trend continued into my college life at WU. (Note that while I felt I wouldn't be able to go anywhere with it, I had been trying to write my own songs and music, since my ambitions in life were to write music, so that's why I majored in music. It was the only thing I had any confidence in.)
WU has a policy that when possible, and as much as possible, the Cat (the mascot) has to play the drums, because one of its founding fathers was a wildcat who played percussion instruments. This is why the Cat stands on a platform during a football halftime show and plays a snare drum while the others march on the field. The platform is next to the drum major, and is also slightly elevated so the Cat can help lead the show. When marching in parades, the Cat will play a bass drum. The university also experimented with having the Cat play timpani in our symphony orchestras and symphonic bands, but that didn't work as well as we hoped. Still, it was worth a try. And yes, I was the Cat, so I was banging on the timpani. (They later had me play a military field drum so that the bands could do a patriotic medley as a showstopper.)
My parents were worried I was making a mistake majoring in music, because I couldn't do anything with it but teach, and I didn't want to be a teacher, but it did help me cope with life because there were other stressful factors involved; this is because while I had gotten scholarships to help me, I still felt I had to work a few jobs to help me because I had gotten a master's degree in music as well (but I didn't go for the doctorate), and then you have the complication of Grandma's case of Alzheimer's getting to her, because she was making snap decisions that she shouldn't have made. One decision was suddenly selling her property and a few things she owned, and moving into our house, stating she was moving in for the rest of her life. But we took her in, because we had to get her to stop driving a car due to her dementia. (We had the TV on one day, and she called the police because she thought what she saw was real; it was two street gangs terrorizing the neighborhoods. I forgot what the show was, though. Another time, she called the police to report her car was stolen, when, in fact, it was right there in the driveway; she saw somebody else driving a car identical to hers. From that day on, we decided, "That's it. For her safety, she's getting a nondriver's license." And she did.)
My first job, as a result, was working at Burger King, although I was moving up towards management levels because I did discover I had some leadership skills I didn't know I did. It helped me care for Grandma and pay some other bills related to my master's degree. I also began playing the drums in the church's worship band, which I've done since I was done with my bachelor's degree. I just didn't know your family went to that same church. Then COVID-19 broke out in March of 2020, and Walmart, whom I had been trying to get a job with anyways, suddenly decided they would hire me on the spot, and now I am a digital personal shopper. I think I technically walked out on Burger King because I didn't get a chance to give them a proper two-week notice; instead, Walmart said, "We need you here now!" It was an awkward job orientation, because almost immediately, I was picking items. (I didn't learn the other elements, such as staging and dispensing, until way later on.)
Burger King is at peace with it now, though, because they knew I was trying to get a better job, and so on what ended up being my last day at Burger King (because I was working two jobs for a brief period as a result of the confusion), I brought a letter to announce my retirement, as well as a few greeting cards with gift cards hidden inside for my bosses as a thank-you to them. (CNG obviously picked up where COVID-19 left off when that pandemic came to an end, but the virus never really left us. It just became just another one to watch out for and get vaccinated against, and yes, I have the vaccine shots and a booster, since Walmart said I had to get those shots.) I also, at random intervals, go to lunch at that Burger King after I get off work just so I can keep in touch with my former co-workers and bosses (although some have moved on, and at least two of them actually work with me at Walmart.)
Grandma was nothing like Cripto's grandma; she just had the one bad moment where people thought she was another Chloe Clements. My grandma always believed, however, that I should have nothing to do with alcohol or drugs whatsoever, and so she thought it was a sin to dine out at places that have a bar, like Applebee's, or go into the alcohol aisles at a supermarket or grocery store. Thus, when I was obeying my boss to do a regulated pick walk, she snapped and pulled off a Chloe, and told the management to fire me. They didn't. I think you know the rest from there: an attorney walks in and buys lottery tickets for his wife, even though he's a Christian, and he was trying all he could to get his wife to be saved, but couldn't figure out how to do so because she was an atheist. (I got saved when I was just five years old, by the way.) But he agreed to buy the tickets and just have the computer pick random numbers for him. Then she suddenly calls him and tells him that because of a bad dream she had, she changed her mind and decided to suddenly quit the lottery cold turkey. He had already bought the tickets, though, and so he thought, "Maybe if she wins, we can figure out what to do the money."
However, he chose to give me the tickets because Joey Swanson, a wanted criminal in multiple states for various oustanding warrants, suddenly entered Walmart, and it was clear he was going after the attorney. CNG had clearly gotten to him, because it magically appeared and then disappeared from his possession. It therefore got me on that fateful day, but it didn't decide to alter my body into the shapeshifter that I am now until a few days after I was finished performing as Rumble the Bison. It therefore confused me that I was a wildcat by default and not a bison.
Then it got weirder because a public relations worker from the OKC Thunder comes in and tells me that because my name is Nathaniel Simmons, they wanted me to perform as Rumble the Bison. It resulted in one of the strangest working vacations I ever had, but it was a lot of fun doing those things, though I don't see myself doing that all the time; people still get hurt doing those stunts. However, I managed to do all those things without injury or fault; I think that was another CNG effect. I may be wrong; I'd have to check with Super C on that. But the management and the company had gotten the notice in advance, and so they were planning to surprise me with the vacation time, because until that point, I had never taken a single sick day in my life, not from my time at Walmart, and not even from my days at Burger King. Though there are rules about how to do that, the company made an exception to them because of this trip. The OKC Thunder also let my parents and grandma attend the two games in question for free, which was nice of them to do so.
The first game was a loss, while the second game was a win, both against the L.A. Lakers, and Super C was also attending the games in person because he was helping add to the security, since we had the awkward case of me having to testify against Swanson, as well as those other smugglers who were trying to free him from prison so they could kill them; one of them got in the crazy car wreck he was in, and he was broke from doing all those drugs, so that was why he was going after the attorney's lottery tickets. He and all the smugglers are dead, obviously, from CNG's doings, but he was ruled not guilty in terms of the CNG smuggling because it just appeared out of nowhere and messed with his head. The smugglers would have been trying to blow up the arena so the Thunder and the others who use that arena couldn't use it, just for the sake of the Lakers becoming NBA champions last year. (In the end, the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics to become champions, so it was all for nothing.)
Both the Lakers and Thunder players wanted to meet me as well, it seemed, and so, yes, I have met LeBron James, who very well may surpass Michael Jordan as the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).
But the best part of that trip was seeing so many people give their lives to Jesus, including the attorney's wife. She insisted I tell her because she was stressed out from the bad dream, even though she reconciled with her husband. I lead her in the prayer, and find out an entire family full of African-American people had also prayed the prayer. It was amazing!
The weirdest part of the trip was discovering I won the lottery, and was the sole winners of the two jackpots, Powerball (at $47 million) and Mega Millions (at $194 million), so if the attorney had been able to keep him, his wife finally would have won after years of trying and losing. Instead, she gave up the habit, and now she has an even more valuable grand prize: eternity in heaven with Jesus. And believe me, it doesn't get any better than that! I had originally wanted to give all of it to the church (minus taxes) because I felt it wasn't my ticket to start with, so it shouldn't have been my money in the first place, but the Lord directed me to keep some of it for myself so that I could move out of my parents' house (which I now have done), and that I could continue to take care of my grandma, which I did. (She died in September of that year, so it was about two months after my performance as Rumble, and it was after the big bang that symbolized the death of CNG.)
I told the church about it the following Sunday, where later Cripto and I met at Braum's to discuss it even further. The following week, I went through the transformation, and I was worried about how everybody would react. However, everybody still knew it was me. Grandma's Alzheimer's led her to think I was dead, however, and that my parents had suddenly decided to adopt a cat who coincidentally had the same name. We tried to explain it to her, but she wouldn't listen, because she didn't understand the way CNG worked, or wasn't willing to believe there was such a thing.
So my question to you in this letter are as follows: is this letter good enough, or do I need a written documentation? Also, I am awaiting the C.I.D.F. to call me back since they had some of their soldiers do an examination of me. They spoke to me yesterday (meaning the day before the day I wrote this letter.) I do thank you and the G-52s for your help during my time as Rumble, because it wasn't easy, and I was worried that somebody was going to go after me. However, that didn't happen. I also thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Note that I demonstrated new powers to Cripto just a couple of weeks ago, and I also did this for Leo the Tiger, the Marching Wonder, because he wanted to introduce me to all three bands he leads. Then he was kind enough to make me an honorary member of his bands, and we exchanged a few drum cadences and the like. It was one of the best honors of my life.
Sincerely yours,
Nathaniel Simmons, age 34 (wildcat by default; formerly human being)
Wildcat City, Kansas, USA
P.S. I keep in touch with Rumble and the mascots, and he said to tell you hello, and that there's a 100% chance of thunderstorms in your forecast.
Super C's reply:
Dear Nathaniel:
I do appreciate you taking the time to write this letter, because by the C.I.D.F.'s declaration, this is indeed good enough for written documentation. If you hadn't spoken to them, I still would have, because their policy is that while I am the commanding officer of the G-52s, and not one of the C.I.D.F., I am still from the same planet as them: Caticon. (The "C" stands for "Caticonian.") Therefore, their policy is that whatever they discover, whether it be related to CNG or something else, they tell me.
If ever I meet your dad, I wish to ask him why he put those kinds of locks on the bathroom doors. What if a fire broke out and you couldn't get out? I think I understand him doing that to keep your troublesome cousins out, but still, locking the door is a fire hazard. I'd say that was ultimately a parent fail, but don't let your dad take that personally. It was his decision to do that.
The C.I.D.F. have told me to tell you that given the CNG effects, you are now indeed at the level of the Forsythians when it comes to your music. CNG wanted identical furries that were like-minded instead of letting each of us be unique and special, which is what God wanted. As a result, you can summon any musical instrument of choice and play it professionally. You can change clothes on the fly by waving your hands in front of your face (though you may have to say it out loud), you can summon sounds with your hands if you desire (though I don't picture you doing it, but suppose you facepalm; you might hear an eerie piano chord when you do that), and you can summon portals to get you from place to place faster.
I will tell the mascots hello, and I like Rumble's sense of humor. He and the other mascots who are musicians have gained the same superpowers you have, in addition to their athletic abilities increasing tenfold (Moondog likes to do parkour, for example). If they don't play a musical instrument, they can only summon portals and change clothes on the fly. (Note that any animal mascots across the NCAA, as well as the NFL, MLB, and NHL also had this happen to them. All the animal mascots of the NCAA now play musical instruments as a result.) So do not be surprised if your YouTube channel has you performing with them, because the NCAA wants to see you keep drumming as your true wildcat self, and all their college marching bands actually look up to WU's marching band as a good example. Even Ohio State University, who is said to have the best darn band in the land, is coming out and saying WU is actually better than them. And you were part of it.
Hope that helps, and thanks for writing to me.
Yours truly,
Simon Corrineson, a.k.a. SuperCat (Super C)
Commanding Officer of the G-52 Organization

Letters to Super C: #17
Dear Super C,
Although I've talked to you in person, the C.I.D.F. had asked for written documentation of my transformation, so I hope this letter I am writing to you is a way to do just that.

Then it got weirder because a public relations worker from the OKC Thunder comes in and tells me that because my name is Nathaniel Simmons, they wanted me to perform as Rumble the Bison. It resulted in one of the strangest working vacations I ever had, but it was a lot of fun doing those things, though I don't see myself doing that all the time; people still get hurt doing those stunts. However, I managed to do all those things without injury or fault; I think that was another CNG effect. I may be wrong; I'd have to check with Super C on that. But the management and the company had gotten the notice in advance, and so they were planning to surprise me with the vacation time, because until that point, I had never taken a single sick day in my life, not from my time at Walmart, and not even from my days at Burger King. Though there are rules about how to do that, the company made an exception to them because of this trip. The OKC Thunder also let my parents and grandma attend the two games in question for free, which was nice of them to do so.
The first game was a loss, while the second game was a win, both against the L.A. Lakers, and Super C was also attending the games in person because he was helping add to the security, since we had the awkward case of me having to testify against Swanson, as well as those other smugglers who were trying to free him from prison so they could kill them; one of them got in the crazy car wreck he was in, and he was broke from doing all those drugs, so that was why he was going after the attorney's lottery tickets. He and all the smugglers are dead, obviously, from CNG's doings, but he was ruled not guilty in terms of the CNG smuggling because it just appeared out of nowhere and messed with his head. The smugglers would have been trying to blow up the arena so the Thunder and the others who use that arena couldn't use it, just for the sake of the Lakers becoming NBA champions last year. (In the end, the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics to become champions, so it was all for nothing.)
Both the Lakers and Thunder players wanted to meet me as well, it seemed, and so, yes, I have met LeBron James, who very well may surpass Michael Jordan as the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).
But the best part of that trip was seeing so many people give their lives to Jesus, including the attorney's wife. She insisted I tell her because she was stressed out from the bad dream, even though she reconciled with her husband. I lead her in the prayer, and find out an entire family full of African-American people had also prayed the prayer. It was amazing!
The weirdest part of the trip was discovering I won the lottery, and was the sole winners of the two jackpots, Powerball (at $47 million) and Mega Millions (at $194 million), so if the attorney had been able to keep him, his wife finally would have won after years of trying and losing. Instead, she gave up the habit, and now she has an even more valuable grand prize: eternity in heaven with Jesus. And believe me, it doesn't get any better than that! I had originally wanted to give all of it to the church (minus taxes) because I felt it wasn't my ticket to start with, so it shouldn't have been my money in the first place, but the Lord directed me to keep some of it for myself so that I could move out of my parents' house (which I now have done), and that I could continue to take care of my grandma, which I did. (She died in September of that year, so it was about two months after my performance as Rumble, and it was after the big bang that symbolized the death of CNG.)
I told the church about it the following Sunday, where later Cripto and I met at Braum's to discuss it even further. The following week, I went through the transformation, and I was worried about how everybody would react. However, everybody still knew it was me. Grandma's Alzheimer's led her to think I was dead, however, and that my parents had suddenly decided to adopt a cat who coincidentally had the same name. We tried to explain it to her, but she wouldn't listen, because she didn't understand the way CNG worked, or wasn't willing to believe there was such a thing.
So my question to you in this letter are as follows: is this letter good enough, or do I need a written documentation? Also, I am awaiting the C.I.D.F. to call me back since they had some of their soldiers do an examination of me. They spoke to me yesterday (meaning the day before the day I wrote this letter.) I do thank you and the G-52s for your help during my time as Rumble, because it wasn't easy, and I was worried that somebody was going to go after me. However, that didn't happen. I also thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Note that I demonstrated new powers to Cripto just a couple of weeks ago, and I also did this for Leo the Tiger, the Marching Wonder, because he wanted to introduce me to all three bands he leads. Then he was kind enough to make me an honorary member of his bands, and we exchanged a few drum cadences and the like. It was one of the best honors of my life.
Sincerely yours,
Nathaniel Simmons, age 34 (wildcat by default; formerly human being)
Wildcat City, Kansas, USA
P.S. I keep in touch with Rumble and the mascots, and he said to tell you hello, and that there's a 100% chance of thunderstorms in your forecast.
Super C's reply:
Dear Nathaniel:
I do appreciate you taking the time to write this letter, because by the C.I.D.F.'s declaration, this is indeed good enough for written documentation. If you hadn't spoken to them, I still would have, because their policy is that while I am the commanding officer of the G-52s, and not one of the C.I.D.F., I am still from the same planet as them: Caticon. (The "C" stands for "Caticonian.") Therefore, their policy is that whatever they discover, whether it be related to CNG or something else, they tell me.
If ever I meet your dad, I wish to ask him why he put those kinds of locks on the bathroom doors. What if a fire broke out and you couldn't get out? I think I understand him doing that to keep your troublesome cousins out, but still, locking the door is a fire hazard. I'd say that was ultimately a parent fail, but don't let your dad take that personally. It was his decision to do that.
The C.I.D.F. have told me to tell you that given the CNG effects, you are now indeed at the level of the Forsythians when it comes to your music. CNG wanted identical furries that were like-minded instead of letting each of us be unique and special, which is what God wanted. As a result, you can summon any musical instrument of choice and play it professionally. You can change clothes on the fly by waving your hands in front of your face (though you may have to say it out loud), you can summon sounds with your hands if you desire (though I don't picture you doing it, but suppose you facepalm; you might hear an eerie piano chord when you do that), and you can summon portals to get you from place to place faster.
I will tell the mascots hello, and I like Rumble's sense of humor. He and the other mascots who are musicians have gained the same superpowers you have, in addition to their athletic abilities increasing tenfold (Moondog likes to do parkour, for example). If they don't play a musical instrument, they can only summon portals and change clothes on the fly. (Note that any animal mascots across the NCAA, as well as the NFL, MLB, and NHL also had this happen to them. All the animal mascots of the NCAA now play musical instruments as a result.) So do not be surprised if your YouTube channel has you performing with them, because the NCAA wants to see you keep drumming as your true wildcat self, and all their college marching bands actually look up to WU's marching band as a good example. Even Ohio State University, who is said to have the best darn band in the land, is coming out and saying WU is actually better than them. And you were part of it.
Hope that helps, and thanks for writing to me.
Yours truly,
Simon Corrineson, a.k.a. SuperCat (Super C)
Commanding Officer of the G-52 Organization

Chuong: He says his voice is ugly but I bet he can sing in English better than I can.
Konrad: Orthopedic surgeons are usually ex-jocks but they're super smart and passionate in physical health.
Zax: Now I see why so many orthopedic surgeons tend to be very tall and quite buff.
Jill: It's also a very gnarly occupation since they're working on bones a lot so it gets graphic, even when using surgical robotics to assist them in their jobs. It's an extremely tough job still.
Chuong: True, but also a very rewarding occupation.

Cripto: I think he said his voice was ugly because he recorded himself on tape once, and to him, it didn't sound anything like him. Sometimes he has problems with enunciating certain words.
Super C: But he does have perfect pitch, just as Cripto does. Still, it's all in the head; the way you hear me sound versus the way I hear me sound can be two distinctly different things.
