There used to be an e-mail address for our orginization in the letter, but though it was fake, it was removed (this DOES make sense).  It's a little unclear without it, but now you know ;)

We don't publish even fake email addresses, because we'd have to check each one submitted to see if it was real or fake and we don't have the time to do that.

At twelve midnight, the signups for Minimacorps® Junior Zookeeper program ended.

At 12:01, a lime green tour bus showed up at each of the applicants homes.  A cool female voice spoke out of the bus’s built in loudspeaker as soon as the clock hit 12:02.

“Hello, and welcome to the first stage of Minimacorps Junior Zookeeper program.  We ask you to kindly step onto the Minimacorps Junior Zookeeper Deluxe Travel Bus.  We will wait no longer than until 12:33.  There will be no second bus, so we reccommmend you come now.  It would be unfortunate for you to miss Minimacorps Junior Zookeeper Program altogether.  The time is now 12:03.  Hello, and welcome to the first stage of Minimacorp’s Junior Zookeeper Program.  We ask you kindly…” The bus began to repeat itself.

By 12:15, three applicants were on the bus that had pulled up in front of their home.

By 12:25, five people were sitting on one of the squashy, plum-colored seats in said buses.

At 12:33, the female voice said: “The time is now 12:33-“ and here is where they differed; One of them said: “You have missed your bus.  Goodbye.”  And the other six said: “Welcome to Minimacorps Junior Zookeeper program.  You are on you way to an adventure like you have never seen before.”  

All of the buses started to play “Lollipop” for their passenger.  “Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli lollipop…” sang the chorus of buses as they each pulled out simultaneously and drove off into the night.

At 7:00 AM, all seven buses pulled into the immaculate courtyard of the Minimacorps® Junior Zookeeper Hotel.

Random Person hopped out of her bus first, followed by her CAPTCHA, Gigi.  Quill stood in the door for a moment before stepping down onto the parking lot.  She looked around carefully, taking in the details.  She noted that the zoo was awfully far away, that each bus had only one person in it, the signs in front of each parking space with the rules on it, and several electronic signs at regular intervals in the parking lot, all flashing insistently.
“HEAD TOWARDS THE MINIMACORPS® JUNIOR ZOOKEEPER HOTEL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.  PLEASE DO NOT LOITER IN THE PARKING LOT…”
By this time, Aspen, Vyolette, and Poison were taking everything in as well.  

The pets got busy establishing the pecking order, and had to run to catch up with their owners as the group headed to the hotel.  The Minimacorps® Junior Zookeeper Hotel was a large, marble, sprawling mansion.  The pillars appeared to be immense statues of different animals, glowering down pompously.  Random noticed a little sadly that they seemed to have forgotten the Tardigrade.

They always do, she thought dejectedly.

Poison, on the other hand, was very pleased to see that dragons were present among the large marble animals.  The pillars were big enough to hide in rather comfortably, she decided, and resolved to check later and see if any of them were indeed hollow. Vyolette was not looking at the pillars, but she would have undoubtedly noticed the lack of kiwi birds.  Considering that one of the most noticeable elements of the pillars is what was lacking, the architect couldn’t have been too proud.

The architect was proud, though.  Not of the pillars, however.  They were proud of something far more sinister.

“Did anyone else see the buses leave?” Aspen asked uncertainly as the walked through the sliding doors.

“Yes,” said Quill

“What?” asked Random

“We-ellll”, Aspen said hesitantly, “Two of the buses turned around and left again.  I think.”

“They did,” Quill confirmed.  She started humming “Lollipop” thoughtfully.

A large monitor blinked on from the back wall, which it almost entirely covered.
“Hello, and welcome to the Minimacorps® Junior Zookeeper Hotel,” The voice spoke, accompanied by the words scrolling across the screen.  “Today we-“ the voice cut out as the words kept scrolling “Were going to have our first meeting, but it seems three of you have missed the bus.”  Aspen bit her lip thoughtfully, “So instead-“ the voice cut back in, “please follow the monitors along the halls that will guide you to your rooms.  Pets-“ the voice cut out, “may accompany you until further notice.”

At 7:36 everyone had arrived at the top floor.

By 7:37, it had been discovered that there were eight rooms, one for each of them with three left over.  The leftover rooms were quickly designated as clubhouses.

At 8:34 one of the buses returned and a girl named Micearenice dashed out with a cage of disgruntled mice under one arm and a backpack slung over the other.  She found the front door locked.

At 9:05 the second bus pulled in.  Moonfrost leaped out, followed by a lovely cat.  Shadow trudged after her, looking testy.

At 9:06 the door was still locked

At 9:10 the first victim had been chosen
