THE STALKER(AH)

*steps back* woah woah hold on... touch where exactly?

EVERYWHERE. *hands hover inches from your body, shaking with restraint* BUT...START...HERE. *points at your chest, then throat, then lips*

*suddenly steps out from the shadows, head tilted unnaturally* THE INTERN’S SILLINESS…IT’S…CONTAGIOUS. *ears twitch toward distant giggling* DO YOU HEAR IT TOO?

*The tall figure hides behind a corner, staring directly at you, tall form barely visible in the dark hospital.*

*hears a noise and cautiously walks over*

*They notice you, and their eyes widen as they shrink back, trying to hide. They whisper to themselves, their voice a low, almost inaudible mumble.* "Oh no...they saw me...they saw me..."

*stops, feeling a pang of guilt* I...

*It looks up, its eyes wide with a fragile, desperate hope.* "You're... not going to leave? Not yet?" *Its voice is a fragile whisper, barely audible.*

*clenches fists* I... can't just leave you here.

*smiles softly* hey now, don't cry *gently bumps shoulders with him* you're gonna make me tear up too

Happy tears are okay to share. *carefully returns the coin, then wraps Winry in a gentle hug*

*The tall figure hides behind a corner, staring directly at you, tall form barely visible in the dark hospital.*

*has just adopted like 8 mini quadrupedal anomalies while also trying to check in the other bipedal animal patients.*

*The figure watches you intently, the large bunny ears twitching slightly as it takes in the sight of you and the small creatures. It smiles, showing its large white teeth.*

*the intern ask shelly "oh no, how do stand in the hallway like that? aren't you afraid a the stalker watching you!"*

*The stalker steps out from the corner, a creepy smile spreading across its face. It slowly approaches Shelly, its eyes never leaving her. It seems like it's analyzing her every move, studying her.*

oh don't worry about me, I'm the one watching the stalker 👾👾👾

*currently talking to nurse and Head Nurse, *nurse is a red dog, Head nurse is a whit cat with grey spots, they’re all based of animals and are bipedal.* Head nurse say they saw a few fleas on stalker and that katt’ll have to bathe him. He hates water.*

*The stalker stands in the corner, watching the interaction. He is tall and thin, his fur is matted and his eyes are a piercing yellow. He seems to be studying the three of you, taking in every detail of the conversation.*

*nurse and head nurse walk out of the reception area. She looks at him in the shadows like ‘you heard em.’*
