Background on Koi is in the description.

Physical Depiction of Koi:

Koi is a seven foot tall experiment of UrbanShade. She wears the usual UrbanShade uniform minus the breathing equipment because she has small gills on her neck and waist. Her scales are reminiscent of koi fish in color and pattern. Her tail is long (about 5 feet) and thinning out to a whiplike structure. Her eyes are teal, with dark circular markings under them. She carries various knives and equipment on her hips and thighs thanks to various belts. (Throwing knives, medical kit, communicator to UrbanShade in case she is in need of aid), as well as a rifle give to her by her creators. She has fangs that can retract for venom, and claws are hooked and curved for gripping and climbing. There are frills that can fold in and out on her spine and head. Her ears look similar. Sometimes she wraps barbed wire along the ends of her tail because it is number there and deals more cuts.

(think monitor lizard for certain features)

About Pressure

I am hereby forth disassociating with pressure. For quite obvious reasons, what has happened to Ren was absolutely horrible. Zeal does not deserve any support, nor do the devs or moderation team that helped cover his actions. It is truly horrible.

Stitching Together My Wrongdoings, or STMW, will be shut down. Completely. Some aspects, such as character dynamics, and most namely Koi (as she is my OC), will be explored in Erylis concepts. This is not a guarantee, but I am separating my work, from pressure. I will be working further on Erylis and post more on that.

Goodbye Pressure.

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Disrupting the loud noise, a clanking screech. A door leading to a side room crackles open. Pitch darkness and strange dangling wires protrude from the ceiling…

at least it looks like wires..

~@project-file-koi

Sebastian had left his shop to start searching for data in various parts of the blacksite for what felt like hours. He was always met with a different amount of success in every room, vent, and office he’s came across. He was currently in a particularly dark corridor of the blacksite, successfully finding a file. He heard the creaking door, causing him to slowly turn his hair and look at newly revealed room with a vague curiosity. He slithered into it, quickly taking a glance to see if there was any data he could collect. Unsurprised, he saw there was none. Still, he had the file in hand that he had yet to read. He lit his head bulb to read the words, only to notice that one wire was differently colored. Without any prior warning or hinting, he pulled down on the wire, causing her to fall to the ground, much to his annoyance. “What are YOU doing here?” He asked angrily, holding her up by the base of her tail.

[project-file-koi]

Koi had been trying to at least get a good sneaking advantage in the mutant. She even had one of her little knives ready on standby. However of course that all came crashing down as soon as he saw. Her claws scraped across the vents before she was flung down with a thump. When she was held up, she chuckled nervously..

“I suppose sight seeing isn’t in the correct options?….” Her tail wound its way around his arm, supporting herself.

After that, her frills flared up. Twisting her body to claw at his hand.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian brought up his top left arm to stop her attack, gripping her wrist in his hand. He through her aside, pulling out his sawed off to fire at her. “Will you shut up?” He asked angrily as he finally fired off three shots at her, hoping to finish he off this time. Her attitude somewhat reminded him of his own. And he hated that.

[project-file-koi]

“You know it’s very rude to grab someone from the base of their-“ her sentence was cut off as he grabbed her wrists. Her head swiveling over at a weirdly bent angle, just enough to see the motion for the shotgun.

One shot hit well enough deep into her right thigh, solely because she brought it up enough to block her stomach. The next two skimmed well over her flesh, making cut like marks but not penetrating skin. Only reason why this happened was because she had to contort her body wildly, and she was always known to be rather fast. Or possibly his aim was a bit more skewed than usual.

Either way, she gritted her teeth slightly, kicking out with her good leg. Koi’s frills flared wildly, movements more panicked and feral.

“Wait wait wait!!” She practically tripped on air from her tail moving to support herself with his arm, and her arms jerking from where he held her wrists.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian gritted his teeth angrily as she dodged his bullets, but barely had enough time to get out a reaction as he started to lose balance with all weight on his left side. He dropped his gun and gripped her frill with his right arm, letting go of both his wrists and tail and practically tearing her from his arm. “Get OFF!” he yelled as he threw her against a wall, already scrambling to grab his weapon.

[project-file-koi]

Koi groaned, white spiking her vision as her head hit the wall hard. They have fought numerous times in the past, this wasn’t really new. She knew by now she should book it. So that’s what she did.

Bounding up, a bit too quickly, she almost fell over due to the zap of pain from her wounded leg. Stumbling back up, she forced pressure on it, running out of the room. Normally she would’ve thrown a knife at least, any sort of delay, but she didn’t necessarily have that luxury with a bullet still in her flesh.

[a-failed-spawn]

”Fuck.” He cursed under his breath as koi ran away. Maybe letting her go wasn’t exactly the best idea. But now, she was wounded. Noe, she was slower. Now, he could catch her. And that’s exactly what he planned on doing. Oftentimes during their encounters, he just let her go, knowing she was far too fast. Not anymore. He slithered after her, keeping pace surprisingly well despite her still being noticeably faster than him. But she was still freshly bleeding, and she would get slower. He caught up just enough to grab the tip of her tail with his right hand, reaching out to grab the base of it once more with both of his left hands, ensuring she wouldn’t escape this time. His grip was firmer, though not necessarily painful. “You’re not going anywhere this time.” He said confidently with a bit of pride from catching her.

[project-file-koi]

Her claws slid across the floor, desperately seeking purchase in the steel as she was dragged back. Her frills shot up in alarm. Though Koi was ignoring the horrid twitching across her spine at the sensation. Her tail coiled around one of his arms for support and a desperate attempt of gaining some control.

“fuck-“

Koi flipped around, or at least tried to. Reaching on her back for her rifle. Eyes wide with something akin to panic.

[a-failed-spawn]

Upon seeing her panicked face, Sebastian followed to where she was reaching. The grabbed the rifle with his right hand, throwing it far away, making her unable to retrieve it. “It doesn’t feel good to be practically helpless, does it?” He asked with a mixture of a condescending tone and anger. In his anger, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her tail, not even noticing he was doing so.

[project-file-koi]

Her face fell to a one of more of horror, she hated being so helpless. She hadn’t been caught before. Koi always ran when things got too risky, and she had bit off more than she could ever chew.

Koi’s face contorted at the tightening grip, she bared her teeth. The look more forced than usual.. Fangs shining in a threat as her frills flared up. Though her tail tightened its grill on his arm in equal measure. Claws digging into the floor.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to let go..” though, one hand was already retrieving her hunter’s blade.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian noticed her reaching for the knife just as she grabbed it. He let go of her tail, instead grabbing both of her wrists with his right hand and plucking her knife from her grip with his top left arm. He pinned her to a wall, holding a the knife towards her. “No more running away. No more weapons.” He mocked. He would enjoy this.

[project-file-koi]

She struggled for a minute, only ceasing when she was slammed into the wall. Her tail coiled around her legs. Her wounded thigh bled profusely…

Koi winced at the feeling, tilting her head sway from the knife. Her frills flaring up, lying down flat, only to frill up again. She was panicking, just a bit. She tried to kick out with her good leg.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian easily caught her leg with his lower left arm, looking at it with an unimpressed raised eyebrow. “Did you really think that would work?” He says, once again mocking koi on how helpless she Is. He throws her leg into the wall, bringing his arm back for a brutal attack p. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time.” With one final mockery , he thrusts the knife forward, digging the sharp blade into her gills, his pupils much smaller and a grin on his face.

[project-file-koi]

She hissed, her leg not really hurt from him throwing it back. But when the knife pierced her gills, she shrieked. Blood dripping out like a fountain, she squirmed, tail lashing. The agony clear on her face.

“STOP! Stop-“ Koi’s frills lay flat. Begging desperately for any sort of relief of her secondary set of breathing to be spared. The agony was horrid. She was desperate.. so..

“I can get you out! I can get you both out of here!!”

[a-failed-spawn]

The scowl of anger on Sebastian’s face instantly disappeared. He let go, of the knife, leaving it stuck in her gills. “You’re serious?” He asks in disbelief. “You can get us out?” He lets her fall to the ground, looking down at her. He’s willing to listen.

[project-file-koi]

She curled in on herself, legs not being able to support her weight. Her wounded leg splayed out weirdly, tail curling around the wounded member weakly. Her hands went to her neck, praying out the knife

“yes. I can you out….” She stared down at the floor.

[the-king-and-the-tiger]

Sebastian urgently takes out a medkit, removing the knife from koi’s gills and patching up the wound. “Don’t think we’re buddies. I just need you alive.” He states spitefully, making sure she knows his opinion on her. “But now, you need to explain. How?” He questioned, not fully trusting her, but knowing he would easily kill her if she tried anything, especially in this state.

[project-file-koi]

Her voice was garbled, coughing up blood thanks to the gills being attached to her throat, the wound puncturing into her airway. Koi frowned, looking at the red spot on her hand, she let him patch her up. Tail flicking and hitting the ground in a lout whip like noise once or twice.

“Submarine.. pickup… once a month…” she coughed again, but not as much blood, good.

“they bring me back to UrbanShade once a month… but if.. one were to overthrow the Navi pilot….” She let the insinuation hang in the air for him to piece it together.

[a-failed-spawn]

”We can take it ourselves and leave this hellhole.” He blurted out with surprise, finishing her sentence. “But.” Oh no. “Give me one good reason why we shouldn’t leave you here to rot.” Letting his hatred take over once again, Sebastian got into her face, making sure she saw the anger in his. He hated her, and he wants her to know. “I let you live. That’s more than enough repayment in my eyes.”

[project-file-koi]

Her frills flared up in response, one hand going to her newly bandaged neck. Koi’s eyes narrowed, and it was a disgustingly familiar look of Willow.

“It will only work as long as I’m on board, for that exact reason… it needs me.. alive.” She hissed slightly, tongue flicking out in a way that mimicked a snake.

“Leave me, and the bucket never fucking leaves the dock…”

it was hard to tell if she was lying or not.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian grabbed her by the frill, bringing her even closer. “Fine. But that’s the only reason. If this were under any other circumstance, you’d be left here.” After growling and baring his teeth, he dropped koi, slithering away, expecting her to follow. Not even bothering to help her up.

[project-file-koi]

Koi sneered as she got pulled closer, neck twisting up to maintain for the tug. She fell back down to the floor with a thump, snarling slightly.

“wonderful…” she got up on one leg, not immediately following. She was busy prying the bullet form her thigh, her fingers covered in her own flesh and core as she worked through muscle to dig the metal out.

“Hey fucker wait up!” Koi yelled out to empty air, throwing away the bullet as she cursed and grumbled, stuffing her bullet wound with gauze. She followed his path after a second..

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian smirked and chuckled as koi called out to him, purposely speeding up to make sure he stayed a good bit ahead of her at all times. “What’s the matter sweetheart? I thought you were supposed to be fast.” He said while looking over his shoulder with a cocky and toothy grin, knowing full well he’s the reason she can’t go even half her full speed right now.

[project-file-koi]

“Hahah.. you are such a joker! So funny really.. I’m just rolling with laughter…” Koi grumbled, fins flaring up for a moment before she just followed. Her arms were crossed, and her wounded leg dragged as she limped in an awkward manner. The lizard mutant’s teeth were gritted with some pain but she didn’t let it show that much otherwise. When he sped up, she forced herself to apply more weight on her leg. She moved at a quicker pace, but paused every so often to ease the soreness.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian eventually slowed his pace, allowing koi to catch up to him. “So. When does your ride arrive?” He spoke without ever looking down at koi. It was clear he wasn’t enjoying his time with her at all.

[project-file-koi]

She stopped to catch her breath, her hurt leg trailing behind her. Fuck it hurt so bad. Koi’s frills flared for a moment before laying flat.

“A few weeks… okay? Damn… impatient aren’t me?” The mutant chuckled, groaning in pain as she made a smile to mask it.

“mind carrying me fucker?” She tried to joke.

[a-failed-spawn]

@painter-the-dreamer

Koi blinked open her eyes. Stars blooming at the edges of her vision. Her head throbbed, her body ached. Hunger gnawed at her stomach, where her muscles were stiff. Actually, her entire body was stiff. With a stilted head, she examined fresh bandages across her body. Covering her wounds.

She tugged a sore arm, but couldn’t, her arms bound tightly together behind her spine. Koi frowned, the tip of her tail feeling. Rope.

With her options limited, she saw scattered drawings and detailed paintings across the room. Seashells and other shiny and colorful things spread throughout. Blankets and a medium sized sofa in one corner of the room..

She snarled under her breath. So she wasn’t dead..

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Painter entered the room with some food, surprised as he saw her awake.*

“Oh, hello! You are awake, I see.. Are you hungry?”

*He approached and left the food in front of her. He had closed the door so she wouldn't escape. He slowly removed the rope from her so she would be able to eat, tho he held it in his hands, if she tried to attack she will regret it.*

*He seemed very happy to see her, but maybe it was a trap.. would she believe his emotions after what happened yesterday?.. He knew she wouldn't.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi bared her teeth, she attempted to stand, but her body was still stiff. So that was a failure, so she just shuffled away from him. With her hands free, she patted down her body, looking for weapons. Finding none.

She would never admit she would be hungry, but she was, nonetheless she still kept her teeth bared.

“Trying to poison me so early hmm?”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Poison you? Why would I? I would be alone if it was poison, I will never let you go. Not in death nor in life.”

*He explained, slowly sitting on the sofa, looking as she searched for weapons. He had removed all the weapons from her, the knife, the rifle, everything.*

“Go on and eat, toy.”

*He joked, giggling and watching her. He gripped one of the blankets and gave it to her, maybe she was cold..*

[project-file-koi]

Koi hissed, frills flaring out wildly.

“not your fucking toy…” her eyes narrowed, she shuffled backwards more into a corner. Narrowing her eyes as she watched him.

“Fucking lunatic…” she mumbled under her breath, rubbing her head. Her mind throbbed. Her tail coiled around her legs, twitching against the floor to make a tapping rhythm.

She bared her teeth in a snarl, at least she still had her teeth and claws.. but she was still weak.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Hm, if you think so.. Maybe I shall show you why you are my toy, but I don't think you would like to faint again, am I right, cupcake?”

*He giggled, looking at her, calmly..*

“Come here, or you will be bound once again.”

*His voice was almost a purr, he desired to see her obey. He NEEDED it. If she didn't, maybe he should taste some more of her blood so she would finally obey.*

[project-file-koi]

She hesitated, snarling. She did not want to be bound again, it would only make eventual fighting harder.. play nice. For now.

Using the wall, she sunk her claws into it to stand. Her legs almost buckling due to not being used for however long. But she gained her bearings rather quickly, her body just felt sore.. really stiff and pained.

with one hand over her bandaged stomach, she stalked to the sofa. Glaring at him with anger in her eyes.

“call me Koi or don’t speak to me at all.” She waved a hand, “I’ll eat your fucking food..”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Good, you are learning so fast.. Does it still hurt? I followed what you did the last time to heal it, if you need something more for it to heal, just tell me.”

*Slowly, he moved foward, petting one of her fins very slowly, he was not scared of her bitting, because she would be punished if she even tried.*

“Koi, I hope you enjoy your food.”

*He wished. Was he trying to get along with her?..*

[project-file-koi]

“Yeah my body still hurts what do you think? You shot me and stabbed me.” She snapped, swatting his hand away from her fins.

Her tail coiled around the bundle of food, bringing the closed cloth to her side. She stepped back, creating some distance. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, frills flaring up in an aggressive way.

Despite admitting to eat, she was not doing so in front of him…

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, eat and rest, you will need it for healing.”

*He said, trying to pet her once again, this time he was rough, pulling her close so he could pet her.*

“You are so good, my toy, you just need to learn some more and then you will be perfect..”

*He whispered, his voice was a little bit creepy, smiling as he told her. His tail was slightly wagging, he loved her attention even if it was only because of hatred.*

“This is your punishment, you know? You will never leave this room.. nor my shop.. nor the Blacksite.”

[project-file-koi]

She snarled, claws digging into his shoulders in a warning bite.

“you are testing me, Painter.”

Koi snarled, frills flaring up. Tone harsh and angry. Tail lashing, still coiling around the bundle. Soon she sat it down on the floor, so her tail made that whip like noise again.

“call me by my fucking name…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Hm, what about no? Toy is one of your names now, honey. Whether you like it or not..”

*He grumbled because of the pain she produced, but.. he really liked the feeling of being hurt. Tho he had to correct this.*

*He gripped the rope and hit her with it as if it was a whip, it hurted like one.*

“Don't hurt me if I don't command you to, toy.”

*His voice, a dark and quiet growl, this was her punishment..*

[project-file-koi]

Koi yelped, but growled low in her throat. Her anger apparent in her eyes. In her mouth. In her posture. But she was good at obeying, after all, wasn’t she a good soldier for UrbanShade?…

play nice. Don’t engage further. Play smarter..

She nodded curtly, baring her fangs. Tail lashing wildly.

“koi.” She corrected, but put her hands behind her back, folding neatly.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Toy.”

*He growled. Oh he nearly screamed from seeing her obey, it made him so happy..*

“Accept the nickname, Koi. Or I shall make you accept it, I know exactly how..”

*He giggled and got up from the sofa, still holding the rope in his hands, threathening her.*

“Will you obey, little toy?”

[project-file-koi]

She put one hand over his own, pushing it down with a snarl.

“I think we can come to an agreement of some sort. Call me by my name, and I’ll tolerate you trickling in your foolish fantasy nickname from time to time.”

koi bared her teeth again, tail slamming into the ground multiple times, “or I can just call you freak. Monster.. creature.. the list goes on.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, you should give me more than that. Do you promise me obedience?”

*He said, gripping her hand once she touched him. His grip was a little harsh, his claws digging into her scales.*

*He tried to keep her tail quiet, growling as he sunk his feet into the tail with a bit of force, maybe this way she'll learn to be quiet.*

“Be quiet, toy, you'll regret calling me like that and playing with me.”

*He growled once again, his voice dark and low, as if he was ready to kill her with his own hands, because maybe, he was.*

[project-file-koi]

“I promise obedience if I’m treated with respect…” Her tongue flicked out, much like a snake would, as if tasting the air.

‘Only until I kill you’ isn’t what she added, however it was the truth. Play nice until trust is garnered. No matter how demeaning or annoying it was, she would play nice for now. She enjoyed living.

She grimaced slightly as her tail was pinned down, the flesh still sensitive. Koi gripped his hand just as hard as he gripped hers in return.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, I will punish you if you disobey me, you wouldn't like that, right, Koi?”

*He giggled, petting her hand very slowly as she gripped him, maybe this was one of those moments he deeply appreciated, even if it were only lies, he liked them. Well, he even liked seeing her bleed and cry, why not enjoy these soft moments?*

*And yes, he thought this was some sweet and soft situation, even if he was hurting her.*

*He was smiling, showing his teeth and fangs. His teeth were as sharp as knives, maybe they were part of his shark dna.*

[project-file-koi]

She scoffed, about to snap at him. Then paused as he was petting her hand. She raised a brow, tilting her lip slightly in genuine confusion.

Instead of responding to the bait, she just slowly took a step back. Tail coiling back around the bundle of food, she brought it to her arms.

Koi peered inside the bundle, seeing if it really was anything edible.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Inside the bundle the food was surprisingly good! It wasn't rotten, and that was.. strange. Well, the meat looked fresh, maybe it was something Urbanshade had sent her to keep her alive.*

“Hungry, are ya? Just tell me if you need it cooked, maybe I can help you.”

*Why was he sounding so suspicious?.. He had a smirk and giggled softly, moving away from her and sitting once again on the sofa.*

“Eat, I can't let you die yet, my toy..”

*He almost purred, his voice was like venom, but sweet enough to sound kind.. but that nickname was sickening, in a really bad way.. He wasn't going to stop tho, he loved that nickname and he was going to make her love it too.*

[project-file-koi]

She wanted to hurl at the nickname. Her tail twitching in obvious anger, her glare only adding on. Koi sniffed the food, but decided she was too hungry to care. If it was poisoned, at least she didn’t have to listen to being demeaned.

Koi didn’t bother with cooking, she ate fish raw for goodness sakes. She scooped up the flesh and swallowed it much like how a snake would. Her jaw didn’t dislocate, but she didn’t necessarily chew. The lump disappearing within moments.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Seeing her eat suddenly made a new thought on his twisted mind. Oh, now all of the thoughts in his mind focused on her, he had never seen her fight with her claws or teeth, why didn't she use them? Yeah, she had a knife.. but claws are better.*

“Do you want more?”

*He asked, his voice was thoughtful and quiet, but loud enough for her to listen. He wished he didn't had to be so rough with her, he wished she would obey for once.. maybe craddle her in his arms, pet her fins, paint on her scales.. But no, she had to ruin it all.*

*He sunk into the sofa and growled a bit at that thought, it was her fault, she was the one that didn't want to obey. It would be so easy for her to obey and just be happy, but no!*

[project-file-koi]

“No thanks…” She moved away, looking at the random objects and paintings throughout the room.

So this seemed to be an art room of some sort, maybe a craft room? Why of all places would she be put in here? Oh God.. Koi suddenly was worried she was going to be skinned or something like that.. like how a butterfly is killed and put on display.

She shook her head roughly, purging the thoughts from her mind.

Koi raised her brow as she looked, tail flicking. She picked up a blue seashell, toying it between her claws for a moment.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Do you like it? You can keep it if you do, I have lots of those around here.”

*He said, approaching her and crouching to be at her height in that moment. He gripped her chin slowly, petting it in a uncomfortable way, his hands were very warm, making him purr as soon as he noticed how cold she was.*

“I wonder how you look like covered in blood.. Maybe I could let you do it but you barely obey, so you won't get gifts or surprises.”

*He moved to grab the rope, taking it like a whip, and showing it to her, he was ready to hurt her if she disobeyed.*

[project-file-koi]

“What the fuck is wrong with you..” Koi frowned, stating the obvious issue in his behavior. She didn’t move her head from his hand, she needed the warmth. Being lizard like had its weaknesses regarding temperature.

She narrowed her eyes at the rope. If he tried another damn thing she could not keep herself from sinking her fangs into his flesh and just pumping all the venom she had.

“I much rather be left here to my own sanity than beat to death. You want me to heal and then hit me.. you want me to eat then mock me.. you are rather confusing to understand.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Confusing? I want you to obey, I am giving you food so you are alive. But then, you disobey me, and I have to punish you so I avoid you do it again. What's difficult to understand? I only want you to obey and be alive.”

*He explained, taking her chin once again, this time his grip was harsh, looking at her eyes with a sharp and deep gaze.*

[project-file-koi]

“So you’re a kinky bastard.” She scoffed, tail lashing. She didn’t move her head, not testing that boundary.. yet.

“if you want me to listen how about you try to be appealing first. Nobody loves to listen to a tyrant…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Sure, but then stop being a fucker. Lets start by that, shall we?”

*He dropped the rope and moved it away from both of them, now petting her chin softly, his grip was no longer harsh.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi frowned, but let her head rest in his hand. She was watching him closely though, the distrust clearly evident in her eyes. Her tail coiled and uncoiled rapidly, prepared to defend herself. “likewise…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Im not going to hurt you. What do you need? Food? Water? Anything.”

*He said, he wanted to have her trust, maybe that way he could hurt her in the future and make her regret everything she did to him, or simply enjoy her company.. that'll depend on her.*

[project-file-koi]

Her frills flared up slightly, before lying flat. She pulled away slowly, then laid on the couch like furniture. Sprawling on it like some cat.

“A fucking nap. My body hurts like hell….”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Then sleep well, I'll take care of you.”

*He slowly sat at her side, maybe he'll pet her fins a little while she's sleeping.*

*His tail waged a little, she seemed more relaxed and that made him happy in some way, he wouldn't have to beat her again.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi narrowed her eyes slightly. But changed her sprawling position to a more curled up one, tail coiling up around her face.

She closed her eyes after a minute, frills lowering. Her body showing signs of fatigue and slowly loosening their rigid posture. She fell asleep after a few minutes

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Disrupting the loud noise, a clanking screech. A door leading to a side room crackles open. Pitch darkness and strange dangling wires protrude from the ceiling…

at least it looks like wires..

~@project-file-koi

Sebastian had left his shop to start searching for data in various parts of the blacksite for what felt like hours. He was always met with a different amount of success in every room, vent, and office he’s came across. He was currently in a particularly dark corridor of the blacksite, successfully finding a file. He heard the creaking door, causing him to slowly turn his hair and look at newly revealed room with a vague curiosity. He slithered into it, quickly taking a glance to see if there was any data he could collect. Unsurprised, he saw there was none. Still, he had the file in hand that he had yet to read. He lit his head bulb to read the words, only to notice that one wire was differently colored. Without any prior warning or hinting, he pulled down on the wire, causing her to fall to the ground, much to his annoyance. “What are YOU doing here?” He asked angrily, holding her up by the base of her tail.

[project-file-koi]

Koi had been trying to at least get a good sneaking advantage in the mutant. She even had one of her little knives ready on standby. However of course that all came crashing down as soon as he saw. Her claws scraped across the vents before she was flung down with a thump. When she was held up, she chuckled nervously..

“I suppose sight seeing isn’t in the correct options?….” Her tail wound its way around his arm, supporting herself.

After that, her frills flared up. Twisting her body to claw at his hand.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian brought up his top left arm to stop her attack, gripping her wrist in his hand. He through her aside, pulling out his sawed off to fire at her. “Will you shut up?” He asked angrily as he finally fired off three shots at her, hoping to finish he off this time. Her attitude somewhat reminded him of his own. And he hated that.

[project-file-koi]

“You know it’s very rude to grab someone from the base of their-“ her sentence was cut off as he grabbed her wrists. Her head swiveling over at a weirdly bent angle, just enough to see the motion for the shotgun.

One shot hit well enough deep into her right thigh, solely because she brought it up enough to block her stomach. The next two skimmed well over her flesh, making cut like marks but not penetrating skin. Only reason why this happened was because she had to contort her body wildly, and she was always known to be rather fast. Or possibly his aim was a bit more skewed than usual.

Either way, she gritted her teeth slightly, kicking out with her good leg. Koi’s frills flared wildly, movements more panicked and feral.

“Wait wait wait!!” She practically tripped on air from her tail moving to support herself with his arm, and her arms jerking from where he held her wrists.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian gritted his teeth angrily as she dodged his bullets, but barely had enough time to get out a reaction as he started to lose balance with all weight on his left side. He dropped his gun and gripped her frill with his right arm, letting go of both his wrists and tail and practically tearing her from his arm. “Get OFF!” he yelled as he threw her against a wall, already scrambling to grab his weapon.

[project-file-koi]

Koi groaned, white spiking her vision as her head hit the wall hard. They have fought numerous times in the past, this wasn’t really new. She knew by now she should book it. So that’s what she did.

Bounding up, a bit too quickly, she almost fell over due to the zap of pain from her wounded leg. Stumbling back up, she forced pressure on it, running out of the room. Normally she would’ve thrown a knife at least, any sort of delay, but she didn’t necessarily have that luxury with a bullet still in her flesh.

[a-failed-spawn]

”Fuck.” He cursed under his breath as koi ran away. Maybe letting her go wasn’t exactly the best idea. But now, she was wounded. Noe, she was slower. Now, he could catch her. And that’s exactly what he planned on doing. Oftentimes during their encounters, he just let her go, knowing she was far too fast. Not anymore. He slithered after her, keeping pace surprisingly well despite her still being noticeably faster than him. But she was still freshly bleeding, and she would get slower. He caught up just enough to grab the tip of her tail with his right hand, reaching out to grab the base of it once more with both of his left hands, ensuring she wouldn’t escape this time. His grip was firmer, though not necessarily painful. “You’re not going anywhere this time.” He said confidently with a bit of pride from catching her.

[project-file-koi]

Her claws slid across the floor, desperately seeking purchase in the steel as she was dragged back. Her frills shot up in alarm. Though Koi was ignoring the horrid twitching across her spine at the sensation. Her tail coiled around one of his arms for support and a desperate attempt of gaining some control.

“fuck-“

Koi flipped around, or at least tried to. Reaching on her back for her rifle. Eyes wide with something akin to panic.

[a-failed-spawn]

Upon seeing her panicked face, Sebastian followed to where she was reaching. The grabbed the rifle with his right hand, throwing it far away, making her unable to retrieve it. “It doesn’t feel good to be practically helpless, does it?” He asked with a mixture of a condescending tone and anger. In his anger, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her tail, not even noticing he was doing so.

[project-file-koi]

Her face fell to a one of more of horror, she hated being so helpless. She hadn’t been caught before. Koi always ran when things got too risky, and she had bit off more than she could ever chew.

Koi’s face contorted at the tightening grip, she bared her teeth. The look more forced than usual.. Fangs shining in a threat as her frills flared up. Though her tail tightened its grill on his arm in equal measure. Claws digging into the floor.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to let go..” though, one hand was already retrieving her hunter’s blade.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian noticed her reaching for the knife just as she grabbed it. He let go of her tail, instead grabbing both of her wrists with his right hand and plucking her knife from her grip with his top left arm. He pinned her to a wall, holding a the knife towards her. “No more running away. No more weapons.” He mocked. He would enjoy this.

[project-file-koi]

She struggled for a minute, only ceasing when she was slammed into the wall. Her tail coiled around her legs. Her wounded thigh bled profusely…

Koi winced at the feeling, tilting her head sway from the knife. Her frills flaring up, lying down flat, only to frill up again. She was panicking, just a bit. She tried to kick out with her good leg.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian easily caught her leg with his lower left arm, looking at it with an unimpressed raised eyebrow. “Did you really think that would work?” He says, once again mocking koi on how helpless she Is. He throws her leg into the wall, bringing his arm back for a brutal attack p. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time.” With one final mockery , he thrusts the knife forward, digging the sharp blade into her gills, his pupils much smaller and a grin on his face.

[project-file-koi]

She hissed, her leg not really hurt from him throwing it back. But when the knife pierced her gills, she shrieked. Blood dripping out like a fountain, she squirmed, tail lashing. The agony clear on her face.

“STOP! Stop-“ Koi’s frills lay flat. Begging desperately for any sort of relief of her secondary set of breathing to be spared. The agony was horrid. She was desperate.. so..

“I can get you out! I can get you both out of here!!”

[a-failed-spawn]

The scowl of anger on Sebastian’s face instantly disappeared. He let go, of the knife, leaving it stuck in her gills. “You’re serious?” He asks in disbelief. “You can get us out?” He lets her fall to the ground, looking down at her. He’s willing to listen.

[project-file-koi]

She curled in on herself, legs not being able to support her weight. Her wounded leg splayed out weirdly, tail curling around the wounded member weakly. Her hands went to her neck, praying out the knife

“yes. I can you out….” She stared down at the floor.

[the-king-and-the-tiger]

Sebastian urgently takes out a medkit, removing the knife from koi’s gills and patching up the wound. “Don’t think we’re buddies. I just need you alive.” He states spitefully, making sure she knows his opinion on her. “But now, you need to explain. How?” He questioned, not fully trusting her, but knowing he would easily kill her if she tried anything, especially in this state.

[project-file-koi]

Her voice was garbled, coughing up blood thanks to the gills being attached to her throat, the wound puncturing into her airway. Koi frowned, looking at the red spot on her hand, she let him patch her up. Tail flicking and hitting the ground in a lout whip like noise once or twice.

“Submarine.. pickup… once a month…” she coughed again, but not as much blood, good.

“they bring me back to UrbanShade once a month… but if.. one were to overthrow the Navi pilot….” She let the insinuation hang in the air for him to piece it together.

[a-failed-spawn]

”We can take it ourselves and leave this hellhole.” He blurted out with surprise, finishing her sentence. “But.” Oh no. “Give me one good reason why we shouldn’t leave you here to rot.” Letting his hatred take over once again, Sebastian got into her face, making sure she saw the anger in his. He hated her, and he wants her to know. “I let you live. That’s more than enough repayment in my eyes.”

[project-file-koi]

Her frills flared up in response, one hand going to her newly bandaged neck. Koi’s eyes narrowed, and it was a disgustingly familiar look of Willow.

“It will only work as long as I’m on board, for that exact reason… it needs me.. alive.” She hissed slightly, tongue flicking out in a way that mimicked a snake.

“Leave me, and the bucket never fucking leaves the dock…”

it was hard to tell if she was lying or not.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian grabbed her by the frill, bringing her even closer. “Fine. But that’s the only reason. If this were under any other circumstance, you’d be left here.” After growling and baring his teeth, he dropped koi, slithering away, expecting her to follow. Not even bothering to help her up.

[project-file-koi]

Koi sneered as she got pulled closer, neck twisting up to maintain for the tug. She fell back down to the floor with a thump, snarling slightly.

“wonderful…” she got up on one leg, not immediately following. She was busy prying the bullet form her thigh, her fingers covered in her own flesh and core as she worked through muscle to dig the metal out.

“Hey fucker wait up!” Koi yelled out to empty air, throwing away the bullet as she cursed and grumbled, stuffing her bullet wound with gauze. She followed his path after a second..

[sebs-zhop]

The lights flickered as a loud noise screamed by Sebastian’s shop. Another angler no doubt, they were coming in rather quick waves. Though the darkness usually didn’t matter, it’s not like he couldn’t see anyway…

Metal above creaked slightly, pipes with water rattling as they settled, or possibly just the infrastructure itself screaming. Nonetheless there was a form of tapping in the tunnel above him, it was silent after a moment.

@project-file-koi

*Sebastian thought nothing of it, and went about his time. He'd clean up the shop best he could, greet customers and sell them stuff— Occasionally shooting a ghost or two. Eventually he'd settle in, closing his shop up and curling up. He was used to the sounds of the tunnels above and the pipes..*

[Ooc: I'm not good with long paragraphs + I am making up missing classwork rn lol.. sorry it's short.]

[project-file-koi]

//nooo it’s okay! Get that work done lolol

It was dark. Why was it always so fucking dark!? Koi was scaling down the tunnel, digging her claws in to slowly lower herself down, her hunger’s blade between her mouth as she lowered herself down. He was right below her, this shouldn’t be too hard.. just.. fall and stab right?….

Though she was almost at the ceiling of the shop, her grip slipping. She let out a muffled curse as she fought to hang on. Tail coming loose from a pipe that kept her supported. Koi yelped as that final bit of grip broke, sending her down either on him or right beside him.

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

“I can get you out! I can get you both out of here!!”

[a-failed-spawn]

The scowl of anger on Sebastian’s face instantly disappeared. He let go, of the knife, leaving it stuck in her gills. “You’re serious?” He asks in disbelief. “You can get us out?” He lets her fall to the ground, looking down at her. He’s willing to listen.

[project-file-koi]

She curled in on herself, legs not being able to support her weight. Her wounded leg splayed out weirdly, tail curling around the wounded member weakly. Her hands went to her neck, praying out the knife

“yes. I can you out….” She stared down at the floor.

[the-king-and-the-tiger]

Sebastian urgently takes out a medkit, removing the knife from koi’s gills and patching up the wound. “Don’t think we’re buddies. I just need you alive.” He states spitefully, making sure she knows his opinion on her. “But now, you need to explain. How?” He questioned, not fully trusting her, but knowing he would easily kill her if she tried anything, especially in this state.

[project-file-koi]

Her voice was garbled, coughing up blood thanks to the gills being attached to her throat, the wound puncturing into her airway. Koi frowned, looking at the red spot on her hand, she let him patch her up. Tail flicking and hitting the ground in a lout whip like noise once or twice.

“Submarine.. pickup… once a month…” she coughed again, but not as much blood, good.

“they bring me back to UrbanShade once a month… but if.. one were to overthrow the Navi pilot….” She let the insinuation hang in the air for him to piece it together.

[a-failed-spawn]

”We can take it ourselves and leave this hellhole.” He blurted out with surprise, finishing her sentence. “But.” Oh no. “Give me one good reason why we shouldn’t leave you here to rot.” Letting his hatred take over once again, Sebastian got into her face, making sure she saw the anger in his. He hated her, and he wants her to know. “I let you live. That’s more than enough repayment in my eyes.”

[project-file-koi]

Her frills flared up in response, one hand going to her newly bandaged neck. Koi’s eyes narrowed, and it was a disgustingly familiar look of Willow.

“It will only work as long as I’m on board, for that exact reason… it needs me.. alive.” She hissed slightly, tongue flicking out in a way that mimicked a snake.

“Leave me, and the bucket never fucking leaves the dock…”

it was hard to tell if she was lying or not.

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Disrupting the loud noise, a clanking screech. A door leading to a side room crackles open. Pitch darkness and strange dangling wires protrude from the ceiling…

at least it looks like wires..

~@project-file-koi

Sebastian had left his shop to start searching for data in various parts of the blacksite for what felt like hours. He was always met with a different amount of success in every room, vent, and office he’s came across. He was currently in a particularly dark corridor of the blacksite, successfully finding a file. He heard the creaking door, causing him to slowly turn his hair and look at newly revealed room with a vague curiosity. He slithered into it, quickly taking a glance to see if there was any data he could collect. Unsurprised, he saw there was none. Still, he had the file in hand that he had yet to read. He lit his head bulb to read the words, only to notice that one wire was differently colored. Without any prior warning or hinting, he pulled down on the wire, causing her to fall to the ground, much to his annoyance. “What are YOU doing here?” He asked angrily, holding her up by the base of her tail.

[project-file-koi]

Koi had been trying to at least get a good sneaking advantage in the mutant. She even had one of her little knives ready on standby. However of course that all came crashing down as soon as he saw. Her claws scraped across the vents before she was flung down with a thump. When she was held up, she chuckled nervously..

“I suppose sight seeing isn’t in the correct options?….” Her tail wound its way around his arm, supporting herself.

After that, her frills flared up. Twisting her body to claw at his hand.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian brought up his top left arm to stop her attack, gripping her wrist in his hand. He through her aside, pulling out his sawed off to fire at her. “Will you shut up?” He asked angrily as he finally fired off three shots at her, hoping to finish he off this time. Her attitude somewhat reminded him of his own. And he hated that.

[project-file-koi]

“You know it’s very rude to grab someone from the base of their-“ her sentence was cut off as he grabbed her wrists. Her head swiveling over at a weirdly bent angle, just enough to see the motion for the shotgun.

One shot hit well enough deep into her right thigh, solely because she brought it up enough to block her stomach. The next two skimmed well over her flesh, making cut like marks but not penetrating skin. Only reason why this happened was because she had to contort her body wildly, and she was always known to be rather fast. Or possibly his aim was a bit more skewed than usual.

Either way, she gritted her teeth slightly, kicking out with her good leg. Koi’s frills flared wildly, movements more panicked and feral.

“Wait wait wait!!” She practically tripped on air from her tail moving to support herself with his arm, and her arms jerking from where he held her wrists.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian gritted his teeth angrily as she dodged his bullets, but barely had enough time to get out a reaction as he started to lose balance with all weight on his left side. He dropped his gun and gripped her frill with his right arm, letting go of both his wrists and tail and practically tearing her from his arm. “Get OFF!” he yelled as he threw her against a wall, already scrambling to grab his weapon.

[project-file-koi]

Koi groaned, white spiking her vision as her head hit the wall hard. They have fought numerous times in the past, this wasn’t really new. She knew by now she should book it. So that’s what she did.

Bounding up, a bit too quickly, she almost fell over due to the zap of pain from her wounded leg. Stumbling back up, she forced pressure on it, running out of the room. Normally she would’ve thrown a knife at least, any sort of delay, but she didn’t necessarily have that luxury with a bullet still in her flesh.

[a-failed-spawn]

”Fuck.” He cursed under his breath as koi ran away. Maybe letting her go wasn’t exactly the best idea. But now, she was wounded. Noe, she was slower. Now, he could catch her. And that’s exactly what he planned on doing. Oftentimes during their encounters, he just let her go, knowing she was far too fast. Not anymore. He slithered after her, keeping pace surprisingly well despite her still being noticeably faster than him. But she was still freshly bleeding, and she would get slower. He caught up just enough to grab the tip of her tail with his right hand, reaching out to grab the base of it once more with both of his left hands, ensuring she wouldn’t escape this time. His grip was firmer, though not necessarily painful. “You’re not going anywhere this time.” He said confidently with a bit of pride from catching her.

[project-file-koi]

Her claws slid across the floor, desperately seeking purchase in the steel as she was dragged back. Her frills shot up in alarm. Though Koi was ignoring the horrid twitching across her spine at the sensation. Her tail coiled around one of his arms for support and a desperate attempt of gaining some control.

“fuck-“

Koi flipped around, or at least tried to. Reaching on her back for her rifle. Eyes wide with something akin to panic.

[a-failed-spawn]

Upon seeing her panicked face, Sebastian followed to where she was reaching. The grabbed the rifle with his right hand, throwing it far away, making her unable to retrieve it. “It doesn’t feel good to be practically helpless, does it?” He asked with a mixture of a condescending tone and anger. In his anger, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her tail, not even noticing he was doing so.

[project-file-koi]

Her face fell to a one of more of horror, she hated being so helpless. She hadn’t been caught before. Koi always ran when things got too risky, and she had bit off more than she could ever chew.

Koi’s face contorted at the tightening grip, she bared her teeth. The look more forced than usual.. Fangs shining in a threat as her frills flared up. Though her tail tightened its grill on his arm in equal measure. Claws digging into the floor.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to let go..” though, one hand was already retrieving her hunter’s blade.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian noticed her reaching for the knife just as she grabbed it. He let go of her tail, instead grabbing both of her wrists with his right hand and plucking her knife from her grip with his top left arm. He pinned her to a wall, holding a the knife towards her. “No more running away. No more weapons.” He mocked. He would enjoy this.

[project-file-koi]

She struggled for a minute, only ceasing when she was slammed into the wall. Her tail coiled around her legs. Her wounded thigh bled profusely…

Koi winced at the feeling, tilting her head sway from the knife. Her frills flaring up, lying down flat, only to frill up again. She was panicking, just a bit. She tried to kick out with her good leg.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian easily caught her leg with his lower left arm, looking at it with an unimpressed raised eyebrow. “Did you really think that would work?” He says, once again mocking koi on how helpless she Is. He throws her leg into the wall, bringing his arm back for a brutal attack p. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time.” With one final mockery , he thrusts the knife forward, digging the sharp blade into her gills, his pupils much smaller and a grin on his face.

[project-file-koi]

She hissed, her leg not really hurt from him throwing it back. But when the knife pierced her gills, she shrieked. Blood dripping out like a fountain, she squirmed, tail lashing. The agony clear on her face.

“STOP! Stop-“ Koi’s frills lay flat. Begging desperately for any sort of relief of her secondary set of breathing to be spared. The agony was horrid. She was desperate.. so..

“I can get you out! I can get you both out of here!!”

[a-failed-spawn]

The scowl of anger on Sebastian’s face instantly disappeared. He let go, of the knife, leaving it stuck in her gills. “You’re serious?” He asks in disbelief. “You can get us out?” He lets her fall to the ground, looking down at her. He’s willing to listen.

[project-file-koi]

She curled in on herself, legs not being able to support her weight. Her wounded leg splayed out weirdly, tail curling around the wounded member weakly. Her hands went to her neck, praying out the knife

“yes. I can you out….” She stared down at the floor.

[the-king-and-the-tiger]

Sebastian urgently takes out a medkit, removing the knife from koi’s gills and patching up the wound. “Don’t think we’re buddies. I just need you alive.” He states spitefully, making sure she knows his opinion on her. “But now, you need to explain. How?” He questioned, not fully trusting her, but knowing he would easily kill her if she tried anything, especially in this state.

“Submarine.. pickup… once a month…” she coughed again, but not as much blood, good.

“they bring me back to UrbanShade once a month… but if.. one were to overthrow the Navi pilot….” She let the insinuation hang in the air for him to piece it together.

[project-file-koi]

@painter-the-dreamer

Koi blinked open her eyes. Stars blooming at the edges of her vision. Her head throbbed, her body ached. Hunger gnawed at her stomach, where her muscles were stiff. Actually, her entire body was stiff. With a stilted head, she examined fresh bandages across her body. Covering her wounds.

She tugged a sore arm, but couldn’t, her arms bound tightly together behind her spine. Koi frowned, the tip of her tail feeling. Rope.

With her options limited, she saw scattered drawings and detailed paintings across the room. Seashells and other shiny and colorful things spread throughout. Blankets and a medium sized sofa in one corner of the room..

She snarled under her breath. So she wasn’t dead..

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Painter entered the room with some food, surprised as he saw her awake.*

“Oh, hello! You are awake, I see.. Are you hungry?”

*He approached and left the food in front of her. He had closed the door so she wouldn't escape. He slowly removed the rope from her so she would be able to eat, tho he held it in his hands, if she tried to attack she will regret it.*

*He seemed very happy to see her, but maybe it was a trap.. would she believe his emotions after what happened yesterday?.. He knew she wouldn't.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi bared her teeth, she attempted to stand, but her body was still stiff. So that was a failure, so she just shuffled away from him. With her hands free, she patted down her body, looking for weapons. Finding none.

She would never admit she would be hungry, but she was, nonetheless she still kept her teeth bared.

“Trying to poison me so early hmm?”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Poison you? Why would I? I would be alone if it was poison, I will never let you go. Not in death nor in life.”

*He explained, slowly sitting on the sofa, looking as she searched for weapons. He had removed all the weapons from her, the knife, the rifle, everything.*

“Go on and eat, toy.”

*He joked, giggling and watching her. He gripped one of the blankets and gave it to her, maybe she was cold..*

[project-file-koi]

Koi hissed, frills flaring out wildly.

“not your fucking toy…” her eyes narrowed, she shuffled backwards more into a corner. Narrowing her eyes as she watched him.

“Fucking lunatic…” she mumbled under her breath, rubbing her head. Her mind throbbed. Her tail coiled around her legs, twitching against the floor to make a tapping rhythm.

She bared her teeth in a snarl, at least she still had her teeth and claws.. but she was still weak.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Hm, if you think so.. Maybe I shall show you why you are my toy, but I don't think you would like to faint again, am I right, cupcake?”

*He giggled, looking at her, calmly..*

“Come here, or you will be bound once again.”

*His voice was almost a purr, he desired to see her obey. He NEEDED it. If she didn't, maybe he should taste some more of her blood so she would finally obey.*

[project-file-koi]

She hesitated, snarling. She did not want to be bound again, it would only make eventual fighting harder.. play nice. For now.

Using the wall, she sunk her claws into it to stand. Her legs almost buckling due to not being used for however long. But she gained her bearings rather quickly, her body just felt sore.. really stiff and pained.

with one hand over her bandaged stomach, she stalked to the sofa. Glaring at him with anger in her eyes.

“call me Koi or don’t speak to me at all.” She waved a hand, “I’ll eat your fucking food..”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Good, you are learning so fast.. Does it still hurt? I followed what you did the last time to heal it, if you need something more for it to heal, just tell me.”

*Slowly, he moved foward, petting one of her fins very slowly, he was not scared of her bitting, because she would be punished if she even tried.*

“Koi, I hope you enjoy your food.”

*He wished. Was he trying to get along with her?..*

[project-file-koi]

“Yeah my body still hurts what do you think? You shot me and stabbed me.” She snapped, swatting his hand away from her fins.

Her tail coiled around the bundle of food, bringing the closed cloth to her side. She stepped back, creating some distance. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, frills flaring up in an aggressive way.

Despite admitting to eat, she was not doing so in front of him…

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, eat and rest, you will need it for healing.”

*He said, trying to pet her once again, this time he was rough, pulling her close so he could pet her.*

“You are so good, my toy, you just need to learn some more and then you will be perfect..”

*He whispered, his voice was a little bit creepy, smiling as he told her. His tail was slightly wagging, he loved her attention even if it was only because of hatred.*

“This is your punishment, you know? You will never leave this room.. nor my shop.. nor the Blacksite.”

[project-file-koi]

She snarled, claws digging into his shoulders in a warning bite.

“you are testing me, Painter.”

Koi snarled, frills flaring up. Tone harsh and angry. Tail lashing, still coiling around the bundle. Soon she sat it down on the floor, so her tail made that whip like noise again.

“call me by my fucking name…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Hm, what about no? Toy is one of your names now, honey. Whether you like it or not..”

*He grumbled because of the pain she produced, but.. he really liked the feeling of being hurt. Tho he had to correct this.*

*He gripped the rope and hit her with it as if it was a whip, it hurted like one.*

“Don't hurt me if I don't command you to, toy.”

*His voice, a dark and quiet growl, this was her punishment..*

[project-file-koi]

Koi yelped, but growled low in her throat. Her anger apparent in her eyes. In her mouth. In her posture. But she was good at obeying, after all, wasn’t she a good soldier for UrbanShade?…

play nice. Don’t engage further. Play smarter..

She nodded curtly, baring her fangs. Tail lashing wildly.

“koi.” She corrected, but put her hands behind her back, folding neatly.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Toy.”

*He growled. Oh he nearly screamed from seeing her obey, it made him so happy..*

“Accept the nickname, Koi. Or I shall make you accept it, I know exactly how..”

*He giggled and got up from the sofa, still holding the rope in his hands, threathening her.*

“Will you obey, little toy?”

[project-file-koi]

She put one hand over his own, pushing it down with a snarl.

“I think we can come to an agreement of some sort. Call me by my name, and I’ll tolerate you trickling in your foolish fantasy nickname from time to time.”

koi bared her teeth again, tail slamming into the ground multiple times, “or I can just call you freak. Monster.. creature.. the list goes on.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, you should give me more than that. Do you promise me obedience?”

*He said, gripping her hand once she touched him. His grip was a little harsh, his claws digging into her scales.*

*He tried to keep her tail quiet, growling as he sunk his feet into the tail with a bit of force, maybe this way she'll learn to be quiet.*

“Be quiet, toy, you'll regret calling me like that and playing with me.”

*He growled once again, his voice dark and low, as if he was ready to kill her with his own hands, because maybe, he was.*

[project-file-koi]

“I promise obedience if I’m treated with respect…” Her tongue flicked out, much like a snake would, as if tasting the air.

‘Only until I kill you’ isn’t what she added, however it was the truth. Play nice until trust is garnered. No matter how demeaning or annoying it was, she would play nice for now. She enjoyed living.

She grimaced slightly as her tail was pinned down, the flesh still sensitive. Koi gripped his hand just as hard as he gripped hers in return.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, I will punish you if you disobey me, you wouldn't like that, right, Koi?”

*He giggled, petting her hand very slowly as she gripped him, maybe this was one of those moments he deeply appreciated, even if it were only lies, he liked them. Well, he even liked seeing her bleed and cry, why not enjoy these soft moments?*

*And yes, he thought this was some sweet and soft situation, even if he was hurting her.*

*He was smiling, showing his teeth and fangs. His teeth were as sharp as knives, maybe they were part of his shark dna.*

[project-file-koi]

She scoffed, about to snap at him. Then paused as he was petting her hand. She raised a brow, tilting her lip slightly in genuine confusion.

Instead of responding to the bait, she just slowly took a step back. Tail coiling back around the bundle of food, she brought it to her arms.

Koi peered inside the bundle, seeing if it really was anything edible.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Inside the bundle the food was surprisingly good! It wasn't rotten, and that was.. strange. Well, the meat looked fresh, maybe it was something Urbanshade had sent her to keep her alive.*

“Hungry, are ya? Just tell me if you need it cooked, maybe I can help you.”

*Why was he sounding so suspicious?.. He had a smirk and giggled softly, moving away from her and sitting once again on the sofa.*

“Eat, I can't let you die yet, my toy..”

*He almost purred, his voice was like venom, but sweet enough to sound kind.. but that nickname was sickening, in a really bad way.. He wasn't going to stop tho, he loved that nickname and he was going to make her love it too.*

[project-file-koi]

She wanted to hurl at the nickname. Her tail twitching in obvious anger, her glare only adding on. Koi sniffed the food, but decided she was too hungry to care. If it was poisoned, at least she didn’t have to listen to being demeaned.

Koi didn’t bother with cooking, she ate fish raw for goodness sakes. She scooped up the flesh and swallowed it much like how a snake would. Her jaw didn’t dislocate, but she didn’t necessarily chew. The lump disappearing within moments.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Seeing her eat suddenly made a new thought on his twisted mind. Oh, now all of the thoughts in his mind focused on her, he had never seen her fight with her claws or teeth, why didn't she use them? Yeah, she had a knife.. but claws are better.*

“Do you want more?”

*He asked, his voice was thoughtful and quiet, but loud enough for her to listen. He wished he didn't had to be so rough with her, he wished she would obey for once.. maybe craddle her in his arms, pet her fins, paint on her scales.. But no, she had to ruin it all.*

*He sunk into the sofa and growled a bit at that thought, it was her fault, she was the one that didn't want to obey. It would be so easy for her to obey and just be happy, but no!*

[project-file-koi]

“No thanks…” She moved away, looking at the random objects and paintings throughout the room.

So this seemed to be an art room of some sort, maybe a craft room? Why of all places would she be put in here? Oh God.. Koi suddenly was worried she was going to be skinned or something like that.. like how a butterfly is killed and put on display.

She shook her head roughly, purging the thoughts from her mind.

Koi raised her brow as she looked, tail flicking. She picked up a blue seashell, toying it between her claws for a moment.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Do you like it? You can keep it if you do, I have lots of those around here.”

*He said, approaching her and crouching to be at her height in that moment. He gripped her chin slowly, petting it in a uncomfortable way, his hands were very warm, making him purr as soon as he noticed how cold she was.*

“I wonder how you look like covered in blood.. Maybe I could let you do it but you barely obey, so you won't get gifts or surprises.”

*He moved to grab the rope, taking it like a whip, and showing it to her, he was ready to hurt her if she disobeyed.*

[project-file-koi]

“What the fuck is wrong with you..” Koi frowned, stating the obvious issue in his behavior. She didn’t move her head from his hand, she needed the warmth. Being lizard like had its weaknesses regarding temperature.

She narrowed her eyes at the rope. If he tried another damn thing she could not keep herself from sinking her fangs into his flesh and just pumping all the venom she had.

“I much rather be left here to my own sanity than beat to death. You want me to heal and then hit me.. you want me to eat then mock me.. you are rather confusing to understand.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Confusing? I want you to obey, I am giving you food so you are alive. But then, you disobey me, and I have to punish you so I avoid you do it again. What's difficult to understand? I only want you to obey and be alive.”

*He explained, taking her chin once again, this time his grip was harsh, looking at her eyes with a sharp and deep gaze.*

[project-file-koi]

“So you’re a kinky bastard.” She scoffed, tail lashing. She didn’t move her head, not testing that boundary.. yet.

“if you want me to listen how about you try to be appealing first. Nobody loves to listen to a tyrant…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Sure, but then stop being a fucker. Lets start by that, shall we?”

*He dropped the rope and moved it away from both of them, now petting her chin softly, his grip was no longer harsh.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi frowned, but let her head rest in his hand. She was watching him closely though, the distrust clearly evident in her eyes. Her tail coiled and uncoiled rapidly, prepared to defend herself. “likewise…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Im not going to hurt you. What do you need? Food? Water? Anything.”

*He said, he wanted to have her trust, maybe that way he could hurt her in the future and make her regret everything she did to him, or simply enjoy her company.. that'll depend on her.*

[project-file-koi]

Her frills flared up slightly, before lying flat. She pulled away slowly, then laid on the couch like furniture. Sprawling on it like some cat.

“A fucking nap. My body hurts like hell….”

[project-file-koi]

@painter-the-dreamer

Koi blinked open her eyes. Stars blooming at the edges of her vision. Her head throbbed, her body ached. Hunger gnawed at her stomach, where her muscles were stiff. Actually, her entire body was stiff. With a stilted head, she examined fresh bandages across her body. Covering her wounds.

“Accept the nickname, Koi. Or I shall make you accept it, I know exactly how..”

*He giggled and got up from the sofa, still holding the rope in his hands, threathening her.*

“Will you obey, little toy?”

[project-file-koi]

She put one hand over his own, pushing it down with a snarl.

“I think we can come to an agreement of some sort. Call me by my name, and I’ll tolerate you trickling in your foolish fantasy nickname from time to time.”

koi bared her teeth again, tail slamming into the ground multiple times, “or I can just call you freak. Monster.. creature.. the list goes on.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, you should give me more than that. Do you promise me obedience?”

*He said, gripping her hand once she touched him. His grip was a little harsh, his claws digging into her scales.*

*He tried to keep her tail quiet, growling as he sunk his feet into the tail with a bit of force, maybe this way she'll learn to be quiet.*

“Be quiet, toy, you'll regret calling me like that and playing with me.”

*He growled once again, his voice dark and low, as if he was ready to kill her with his own hands, because maybe, he was.*

[project-file-koi]

“I promise obedience if I’m treated with respect…” Her tongue flicked out, much like a snake would, as if tasting the air.

‘Only until I kill you’ isn’t what she added, however it was the truth. Play nice until trust is garnered. No matter how demeaning or annoying it was, she would play nice for now. She enjoyed living.

She grimaced slightly as her tail was pinned down, the flesh still sensitive. Koi gripped his hand just as hard as he gripped hers in return.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Well, I will punish you if you disobey me, you wouldn't like that, right, Koi?”

*He giggled, petting her hand very slowly as she gripped him, maybe this was one of those moments he deeply appreciated, even if it were only lies, he liked them. Well, he even liked seeing her bleed and cry, why not enjoy these soft moments?*

*And yes, he thought this was some sweet and soft situation, even if he was hurting her.*

*He was smiling, showing his teeth and fangs. His teeth were as sharp as knives, maybe they were part of his shark dna.*

[project-file-koi]

She scoffed, about to snap at him. Then paused as he was petting her hand. She raised a brow, tilting her lip slightly in genuine confusion.

Instead of responding to the bait, she just slowly took a step back. Tail coiling back around the bundle of food, she brought it to her arms.

Koi peered inside the bundle, seeing if it really was anything edible.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Inside the bundle the food was surprisingly good! It wasn't rotten, and that was.. strange. Well, the meat looked fresh, maybe it was something Urbanshade had sent her to keep her alive.*

“Hungry, are ya? Just tell me if you need it cooked, maybe I can help you.”

*Why was he sounding so suspicious?.. He had a smirk and giggled softly, moving away from her and sitting once again on the sofa.*

“Eat, I can't let you die yet, my toy..”

*He almost purred, his voice was like venom, but sweet enough to sound kind.. but that nickname was sickening, in a really bad way.. He wasn't going to stop tho, he loved that nickname and he was going to make her love it too.*

[project-file-koi]

She wanted to hurl at the nickname. Her tail twitching in obvious anger, her glare only adding on. Koi sniffed the food, but decided she was too hungry to care. If it was poisoned, at least she didn’t have to listen to being demeaned.

Koi didn’t bother with cooking, she ate fish raw for goodness sakes. She scooped up the flesh and swallowed it much like how a snake would. Her jaw didn’t dislocate, but she didn’t necessarily chew. The lump disappearing within moments.

[painter-the-dreamer]

*Seeing her eat suddenly made a new thought on his twisted mind. Oh, now all of the thoughts in his mind focused on her, he had never seen her fight with her claws or teeth, why didn't she use them? Yeah, she had a knife.. but claws are better.*

“Do you want more?”

*He asked, his voice was thoughtful and quiet, but loud enough for her to listen. He wished he didn't had to be so rough with her, he wished she would obey for once.. maybe craddle her in his arms, pet her fins, paint on her scales.. But no, she had to ruin it all.*

*He sunk into the sofa and growled a bit at that thought, it was her fault, she was the one that didn't want to obey. It would be so easy for her to obey and just be happy, but no!*

[project-file-koi]

“No thanks…” She moved away, looking at the random objects and paintings throughout the room.

So this seemed to be an art room of some sort, maybe a craft room? Why of all places would she be put in here? Oh God.. Koi suddenly was worried she was going to be skinned or something like that.. like how a butterfly is killed and put on display.

She shook her head roughly, purging the thoughts from her mind.

Koi raised her brow as she looked, tail flicking. She picked up a blue seashell, toying it between her claws for a moment.

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Do you like it? You can keep it if you do, I have lots of those around here.”

*He said, approaching her and crouching to be at her height in that moment. He gripped her chin slowly, petting it in a uncomfortable way, his hands were very warm, making him purr as soon as he noticed how cold she was.*

“I wonder how you look like covered in blood.. Maybe I could let you do it but you barely obey, so you won't get gifts or surprises.”

*He moved to grab the rope, taking it like a whip, and showing it to her, he was ready to hurt her if she disobeyed.*

[project-file-koi]

“What the fuck is wrong with you..” Koi frowned, stating the obvious issue in his behavior. She didn’t move her head from his hand, she needed the warmth. Being lizard like had its weaknesses regarding temperature.

She narrowed her eyes at the rope. If he tried another damn thing she could not keep herself from sinking her fangs into his flesh and just pumping all the venom she had.

“I much rather be left here to my own sanity than beat to death. You want me to heal and then hit me.. you want me to eat then mock me.. you are rather confusing to understand.”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Confusing? I want you to obey, I am giving you food so you are alive. But then, you disobey me, and I have to punish you so I avoid you do it again. What's difficult to understand? I only want you to obey and be alive.”

*He explained, taking her chin once again, this time his grip was harsh, looking at her eyes with a sharp and deep gaze.*

[project-file-koi]

“So you’re a kinky bastard.” She scoffed, tail lashing. She didn’t move her head, not testing that boundary.. yet.

“if you want me to listen how about you try to be appealing first. Nobody loves to listen to a tyrant…”

[painter-the-dreamer]

“Sure, but then stop being a fucker. Lets start by that, shall we?”

*He dropped the rope and moved it away from both of them, now petting her chin softly, his grip was no longer harsh.*

[project-file-koi]

Koi frowned, but let her head rest in his hand. She was watching him closely though, the distrust clearly evident in her eyes. Her tail coiled and uncoiled rapidly, prepared to defend herself. “likewise…”

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Disrupting the loud noise, a clanking screech. A door leading to a side room crackles open. Pitch darkness and strange dangling wires protrude from the ceiling…

at least it looks like wires..

~@project-file-koi

Sebastian had left his shop to start searching for data in various parts of the blacksite for what felt like hours. He was always met with a different amount of success in every room, vent, and office he’s came across. He was currently in a particularly dark corridor of the blacksite, successfully finding a file. He heard the creaking door, causing him to slowly turn his hair and look at newly revealed room with a vague curiosity. He slithered into it, quickly taking a glance to see if there was any data he could collect. Unsurprised, he saw there was none. Still, he had the file in hand that he had yet to read. He lit his head bulb to read the words, only to notice that one wire was differently colored. Without any prior warning or hinting, he pulled down on the wire, causing her to fall to the ground, much to his annoyance. “What are YOU doing here?” He asked angrily, holding her up by the base of her tail.

[project-file-koi]

Koi had been trying to at least get a good sneaking advantage in the mutant. She even had one of her little knives ready on standby. However of course that all came crashing down as soon as he saw. Her claws scraped across the vents before she was flung down with a thump. When she was held up, she chuckled nervously..

“I suppose sight seeing isn’t in the correct options?….” Her tail wound its way around his arm, supporting herself.

After that, her frills flared up. Twisting her body to claw at his hand.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian brought up his top left arm to stop her attack, gripping her wrist in his hand. He through her aside, pulling out his sawed off to fire at her. “Will you shut up?” He asked angrily as he finally fired off three shots at her, hoping to finish he off this time. Her attitude somewhat reminded him of his own. And he hated that.

[project-file-koi]

“You know it’s very rude to grab someone from the base of their-“ her sentence was cut off as he grabbed her wrists. Her head swiveling over at a weirdly bent angle, just enough to see the motion for the shotgun.

One shot hit well enough deep into her right thigh, solely because she brought it up enough to block her stomach. The next two skimmed well over her flesh, making cut like marks but not penetrating skin. Only reason why this happened was because she had to contort her body wildly, and she was always known to be rather fast. Or possibly his aim was a bit more skewed than usual.

Either way, she gritted her teeth slightly, kicking out with her good leg. Koi’s frills flared wildly, movements more panicked and feral.

“Wait wait wait!!” She practically tripped on air from her tail moving to support herself with his arm, and her arms jerking from where he held her wrists.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian gritted his teeth angrily as she dodged his bullets, but barely had enough time to get out a reaction as he started to lose balance with all weight on his left side. He dropped his gun and gripped her frill with his right arm, letting go of both his wrists and tail and practically tearing her from his arm. “Get OFF!” he yelled as he threw her against a wall, already scrambling to grab his weapon.

[project-file-koi]

Koi groaned, white spiking her vision as her head hit the wall hard. They have fought numerous times in the past, this wasn’t really new. She knew by now she should book it. So that’s what she did.

Bounding up, a bit too quickly, she almost fell over due to the zap of pain from her wounded leg. Stumbling back up, she forced pressure on it, running out of the room. Normally she would’ve thrown a knife at least, any sort of delay, but she didn’t necessarily have that luxury with a bullet still in her flesh.

[a-failed-spawn]

”Fuck.” He cursed under his breath as koi ran away. Maybe letting her go wasn’t exactly the best idea. But now, she was wounded. Noe, she was slower. Now, he could catch her. And that’s exactly what he planned on doing. Oftentimes during their encounters, he just let her go, knowing she was far too fast. Not anymore. He slithered after her, keeping pace surprisingly well despite her still being noticeably faster than him. But she was still freshly bleeding, and she would get slower. He caught up just enough to grab the tip of her tail with his right hand, reaching out to grab the base of it once more with both of his left hands, ensuring she wouldn’t escape this time. His grip was firmer, though not necessarily painful. “You’re not going anywhere this time.” He said confidently with a bit of pride from catching her.

[project-file-koi]

Her claws slid across the floor, desperately seeking purchase in the steel as she was dragged back. Her frills shot up in alarm. Though Koi was ignoring the horrid twitching across her spine at the sensation. Her tail coiled around one of his arms for support and a desperate attempt of gaining some control.

“fuck-“

Koi flipped around, or at least tried to. Reaching on her back for her rifle. Eyes wide with something akin to panic.

[a-failed-spawn]

Upon seeing her panicked face, Sebastian followed to where she was reaching. The grabbed the rifle with his right hand, throwing it far away, making her unable to retrieve it. “It doesn’t feel good to be practically helpless, does it?” He asked with a mixture of a condescending tone and anger. In his anger, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her tail, not even noticing he was doing so.

[project-file-koi]

Her face fell to a one of more of horror, she hated being so helpless. She hadn’t been caught before. Koi always ran when things got too risky, and she had bit off more than she could ever chew.

Koi’s face contorted at the tightening grip, she bared her teeth. The look more forced than usual.. Fangs shining in a threat as her frills flared up. Though her tail tightened its grill on his arm in equal measure. Claws digging into the floor.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to let go..” though, one hand was already retrieving her hunter’s blade.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian noticed her reaching for the knife just as she grabbed it. He let go of her tail, instead grabbing both of her wrists with his right hand and plucking her knife from her grip with his top left arm. He pinned her to a wall, holding a the knife towards her. “No more running away. No more weapons.” He mocked. He would enjoy this.

[project-file-koi]

She struggled for a minute, only ceasing when she was slammed into the wall. Her tail coiled around her legs. Her wounded thigh bled profusely…

Koi winced at the feeling, tilting her head sway from the knife. Her frills flaring up, lying down flat, only to frill up again. She was panicking, just a bit. She tried to kick out with her good leg.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian easily caught her leg with his lower left arm, looking at it with an unimpressed raised eyebrow. “Did you really think that would work?” He says, once again mocking koi on how helpless she Is. He throws her leg into the wall, bringing his arm back for a brutal attack p. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time.” With one final mockery , he thrusts the knife forward, digging the sharp blade into her gills, his pupils much smaller and a grin on his face.

[project-file-koi]

She hissed, her leg not really hurt from him throwing it back. But when the knife pierced her gills, she shrieked. Blood dripping out like a fountain, she squirmed, tail lashing. The agony clear on her face.

“STOP! Stop-“ Koi’s frills lay flat. Begging desperately for any sort of relief of her secondary set of breathing to be spared. The agony was horrid. She was desperate.. so..

“I can get you out! I can get you both out of here!!”

[a-failed-spawn]

The scowl of anger on Sebastian’s face instantly disappeared. He let go, of the knife, leaving it stuck in her gills. “You’re serious?” He asks in disbelief. “You can get us out?” He lets her fall to the ground, looking down at her. He’s willing to listen.

[project-file-koi]

She curled in on herself, legs not being able to support her weight. Her wounded leg splayed out weirdly, tail curling around the wounded member weakly. Her hands went to her neck, praying out the knife

“yes. I can you out….” She stared down at the floor.

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Her claws scraped across the vents before she was flung down with a thump. When she was held up, she chuckled nervously..

“I suppose sight seeing isn’t in the correct options?….” Her tail wound its way around his arm, supporting herself.

After that, her frills flared up. Twisting her body to claw at his hand.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian brought up his top left arm to stop her attack, gripping her wrist in his hand. He through her aside, pulling out his sawed off to fire at her. “Will you shut up?” He asked angrily as he finally fired off three shots at her, hoping to finish he off this time. Her attitude somewhat reminded him of his own. And he hated that.

[project-file-koi]

“You know it’s very rude to grab someone from the base of their-“ her sentence was cut off as he grabbed her wrists. Her head swiveling over at a weirdly bent angle, just enough to see the motion for the shotgun.

One shot hit well enough deep into her right thigh, solely because she brought it up enough to block her stomach. The next two skimmed well over her flesh, making cut like marks but not penetrating skin. Only reason why this happened was because she had to contort her body wildly, and she was always known to be rather fast. Or possibly his aim was a bit more skewed than usual.

Either way, she gritted her teeth slightly, kicking out with her good leg. Koi’s frills flared wildly, movements more panicked and feral.

“Wait wait wait!!” She practically tripped on air from her tail moving to support herself with his arm, and her arms jerking from where he held her wrists.

[a-failed-spawn]

Sebastian gritted his teeth angrily as she dodged his bullets, but barely had enough time to get out a reaction as he started to lose balance with all weight on his left side. He dropped his gun and gripped her frill with his right arm, letting go of both his wrists and tail and practically tearing her from his arm. “Get OFF!” he yelled as he threw her against a wall, already scrambling to grab his weapon.

[project-file-koi]

Koi groaned, white spiking her vision as her head hit the wall hard. They have fought numerous times in the past, this wasn’t really new. She knew by now she should book it. So that’s what she did.

Bounding up, a bit too quickly, she almost fell over due to the zap of pain from her wounded leg. Stumbling back up, she forced pressure on it, running out of the room. Normally she would’ve thrown a knife at least, any sort of delay, but she didn’t necessarily have that luxury with a bullet still in her flesh.

[a-failed-spawn]

”Fuck.” He cursed under his breath as koi ran away. Maybe letting her go wasn’t exactly the best idea. But now, she was wounded. Noe, she was slower. Now, he could catch her. And that’s exactly what he planned on doing. Oftentimes during their encounters, he just let her go, knowing she was far too fast. Not anymore. He slithered after her, keeping pace surprisingly well despite her still being noticeably faster than him. But she was still freshly bleeding, and she would get slower. He caught up just enough to grab the tip of her tail with his right hand, reaching out to grab the base of it once more with both of his left hands, ensuring she wouldn’t escape this time. His grip was firmer, though not necessarily painful. “You’re not going anywhere this time.” He said confidently with a bit of pride from catching her.

[project-file-koi]

Her claws slid across the floor, desperately seeking purchase in the steel as she was dragged back. Her frills shot up in alarm. Though Koi was ignoring the horrid twitching across her spine at the sensation. Her tail coiled around one of his arms for support and a desperate attempt of gaining some control.

“fuck-“

Koi flipped around, or at least tried to. Reaching on her back for her rifle. Eyes wide with something akin to panic.

[a-failed-spawn]

Upon seeing her panicked face, Sebastian followed to where she was reaching. The grabbed the rifle with his right hand, throwing it far away, making her unable to retrieve it. “It doesn’t feel good to be practically helpless, does it?” He asked with a mixture of a condescending tone and anger. In his anger, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her tail, not even noticing he was doing so.

[project-file-koi]

Her face fell to a one of more of horror, she hated being so helpless. She hadn’t been caught before. Koi always ran when things got too risky, and she had bit off more than she could ever chew.

Koi’s face contorted at the tightening grip, she bared her teeth. The look more forced than usual.. Fangs shining in a threat as her frills flared up. Though her tail tightened its grill on his arm in equal measure. Claws digging into the floor.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to let go..” though, one hand was already retrieving her hunter’s blade.

[a-failed-spawn]

It’s rather quiet, for once an angler isn’t passing by. The lights flicker once, twice, they are lit for the rest of the time. The corridor is empty, but not lacking in leftover data UrbanShade so foolishly discarded in their haste to leave the blacksight…

Disrupting the loud noise, a clanking screech. A door leading to a side room crackles open. Pitch darkness and strange dangling wires protrude from the ceiling…

at least it looks like wires..

Sebastian had left his shop to start searching for data in various parts of the blacksite for what felt like hours. He was always met with a different amount of success in every room, vent, and office he’s came across. He was currently in a particularly dark corridor of the blacksite, successfully finding a file. He heard the creaking door, causing him to slowly turn his hair and look at newly revealed room with a vague curiosity. He slithered into it, quickly taking a glance to see if there was any data he could collect. Unsurprised, he saw there was none. Still, he had the file in hand that he had yet to read. He lit his head bulb to read the words, only to notice that one wire was differently colored. Without any prior warning or hinting, he pulled down on the wire, causing her to fall to the ground, much to his annoyance. “What are YOU doing here?” He asked angrily, holding her up by the base of her tail.
