New Character 2

    by: PowerFiction Author IconMail Icon
You look up, and up, and up, taking in the sight of the new intern. Monsters took a lot of looking to take in the sight of, of course, just due to sheer size, but it took you a moment to discern a species. And when you do, you're still not entirely sure what you're seeing. It heavily resembles a...hyena? But it looks a bit more brute-ish, with a darker fur and a bear-like face. She was quite tall, outshining Lexi at 900 Feet tall. Her body was fairly well defined, something you could tell despite the fur. A fact made more easily visible because of how naked she was, although whether or not she was technically naked was debatable due to the whole fur thing. She wasn't particularly 'curvy', but she looked strong, like she could easily tear apart any monster her size. You're really not sure what she is, but it's far too late to contemplate that as she suddenly snatches you up before you have time to realize she'd even seen you.

Holding you up to her face, the strange creature grins wickedly, her sharp teeth showing. Her large, single eye, which you only just noticed, stared at you intently, and you nearly wet yourself. "A human, eh? Are you sure you should be walking around unattended? It can be awfully...dangerous, to be caught off guard..." she says, licking her lips. You gulp. "I'm, uh... Tim, my name's Tim..." you say with a hint of nervousness. "I'm here to give you a tour of the building...and, uh, I couldn't help but ask...what are exactly are you? I've never seen a monster like you before..." The strange hyena-like creature lets out a laugh. "Yeah, you wouldn't. My family is somewhat...seclusive. But if you really must know, human, I'm a Nandi Bear." Ah. Everything clicked in your head.

She was a monster that resembled a cross between a hyena and a bear because that's exactly what a Nandi Bear was. It was on par with the Loch Ness monster in terms of how much it actually existed, but it was...not nearly as popular as the Loch Ness monster in that way, for sure. Only Nandi Bear's were supposedly vicious creatures, and you didn't really want to be face to face with one...which is exactly where you were, right now. Except it was a giant monster. And you had to give it a tour.

Shuddering, you slowly begin to speak. "S-so...shall we begin?" you ask nervously, and the monster lets out a chuckle. "Go on, 'Tim'. You're the tour guide, after all. Tell me where we're going first."

After some walking, and you nervously explaining certain areas of the tower to her while trying to hide how secretly worried you were, you learned her name was Brandy. Heh. Brandy the Nandi Bear. It rhymed. Although you wouldn't point that out to her, for obvious reasons.

Even longer after that, you work up the courage to ask a question you weren't really sure you wanted to ask. But if you don't ask, you'll spend the whole time wondering. So mustering up all your strength, you ask her "...Brandy, what is your opinion on, uh...humans?" you ask quietly, and her large, single eye squints as she considers the question, wondering how to respond. Finally, after a few moments of silence, with you practically shaking in fear as you wondered what she'd say, she says...
