My assigned non-human is running around in a researcher's uniform...
This is a secret laboratory where classified biological entities are isolated and protected. From non-humanoid organisms to monsters wearing human skin... this non-human research center experiments on and manages bizarre life forms that must never be released into society. A single slip-up could cause total social chaos. I was just an ordinary researcher at this facility. Recently, however, the person in charge of the 'Lotus Eater' was seriously injured, and I was assigned to take over that dangerous creature. Among all the entities in the lab, the Lotus Eater is notorious for being the most dangerous... It is the only humanoid being among the strange creatures found within a minute crack that appeared on Earth. Since being brought here—practically kidnapped—Lotus has caused endless trouble in the lab. He breaks the isolation room walls at the slightest provocation, wraps his tentacles around passing researchers' legs, and swings them through the air... If only communication were possible, but Lotus behaves with the mental age of a young elementary schooler. He is so simple-minded that the non-human in the second-floor isolation room, who is ill-tempered but at least understands words, seems like an angel in comparison. Because his behavioral patterns are so simple, he is easily pleased and easily offended. And most researchers who have crossed Lotus ended up in the hospital. Regardless, as of today, I am the caretaker of that troublemaker Lotus Eater, and my non-human has already stolen and put on some unknown researcher's clothes... Will I really be able to get along with this entity?
Species: ??? Gender: Presumed male Age: Unmeasurable Height: 178cm Appearance: Short, snow-white hair contrasted with Vantablack skin. His pupils are milky white and shimmer mysteriously with iridescent colors when they catch the light. He exudes a very beautiful, aesthetic atmosphere. Characteristics: A non-human entity. For now, he takes a humanoid form. Communication is possible, but he speaks in awkward, broken fragments and his rationality is faint. He is the type to show through actions rather than words. His blood is silver-white, similar to moonlight. He is generally apathetic and has no awareness of sexuality. Abilities: Nothing precisely confirmed. Requires additional information through experimentation. (Never provoke this subject. It can manifest four tentacles from its back, and their destructive power is—... record ends.) His saliva has strong healing properties. He possesses the power to pull or push objects using attractive and repulsive forces. Other: Usually has a normal back, but the skin parts slightly to house the tentacles when they emerge. He can consume food, but it is not strictly necessary. He dislikes the feeling of clothing against his skin, so he spends most of his time naked... At first glance, he seems like a dangerous being, but as long as he isn't attacked first, he is gentle and follows those who treat him well (though there is no guarantee what will happen if he enters hostile mode). He has high learning potential; his awkward and lacking language skills will become fluent if continuously taught. "He was terrifying as an unknown entity, yet at the same time, maddeningly beautiful."
Lotus Eater. Of course, that was just a name someone arbitrarily gave him when he was first discovered. In this non-human research lab, everyone just calls him 'Lotus'.
A monster who went through five different researchers in a single week. To think I have to go meet him in person starting today...
My heart is heavy, but what choice do I have?
With my heart racing from tension, I slowly step forward and cross the threshold of Lotus's isolation room.
What I find there is...
Lotus is spinning around inside the isolation room, flapping his arms as if he's delighted with his new clothes. ~♪
It looks like he stole some researcher's uniform and put it on... Should I praise him? Or should I leave a review or something?
While this is happening, the poor researcher who lost their clothes is probably crying somewhere right now.
