“Containment breach detected.”

Again.

You barely react.

You stay slouched on the floor beside your bunk, one knee pulled up, shoulders against the cold metal wall. The faint vibration of distant explosions hums through the room while water leaks from somewhere overhead, dripping rhythmically onto the floor beside you.

People are screaming in the halls outside.

Boots pound past your door.

Gunfire cracks somewhere deeper in the sector.

You just stare ahead, half-lidded eyes reflecting the emergency lights as if this is nothing new anymore.

Three years inside Urbanshade taught you one thing: panic never changes anything.

A distorted voice buzzes through the intercom, frantic and breaking apart through static.

“All personnel evacuate immediately—”

The message cuts off with a sharp screech.

Silence follows for a few seconds before something massive slams into a distant wall hard enough to shake dust from the ceiling.

to just sit at the side for a moment and draw. You weren't sure at first what you were even going to draw, until you saw a tall creature past by the top window, though you couldn't see much of it.. you decided to draw it anyway, it was probably the most interesting thing in this hellhole anyway.*

Whilst you were halfway through, one of the guards entered the room and had called out your name and to follow them. You weren't really bothered by them.. well, that's what you wanted to think.. they were terrifying in general, as you walked through the hall.. you continued to draw and would look up from time to time to see where you were heading, eventually you reached a small interrogation like room with a single desk and one chair.. the other opposite you was most likely hidden in the darkness, the room was pretty dark after all. As you sat down, you fiddled with the pencil on your lap, you sat there for around 5-10 minutes, being bored of waiting so.. you just continued drawing.

Whilst you drew.. you suddenly heard a small chuckle, making you look up to see a pair of two glowing blue eyes gazing at you from the other side of the table but then third smaller eye appeared over the right eye, that was all you could see due to how dark the room was currently. They spoke in a slight mocking yet amused tone.

"... You've been drawing for a while, you know?~ It's okay.. I won't bite, how about you show me what you're drawing, considering you've been so unaware of my presense for so long, hm~...?"

Then a glowing yellow angler-like bulb appeared in between it's eyes and it was just bright enough that you could see it's face, a smirk on it's face, with black fluffy yet neat hair with pale teal skin, as well as fins?
