This took so much effort and time, why did I decide to do a meme lol- Anyways, here's my entry for Computing! I actually found it quite easy to think of a backstory for them, and that's always a good sign :) Quick bio- Coralle/23/? Not-so-quick Story: Coralle was walking down the sidewalk. heading back to her apartment as the night grew longer. As they passed an alleyway she heard something in the shadows. They stopped for a moment, before dismissing it as most likely a rat scampering around. They continued on, and as they neared the apartment the street lights seemed to dim. They didn't take notice, and they passed another alleyway. Another sound was heard, louder this time. They stopped again to think, and before anything could be processed a swift figure leapt from the shadows and grabbed Coralle. They didn't know what happened next, as they had blacked out. Coralle woke in a room, with white walls and a bleak grey tile floor. It was obviously a lab of some sorts, and they were in the center. They were tied to a table, and a cart was next to them. "Hello?" Coralle asked in a small voice, keeping down the panic and overall feeling of dread. "Oh, you're awake. Can't stay awake long, I'm afraid," A voice behind them answered. They couldn't turn their head enough to see whoever it was though, and the creature did not come around into view. Coralle heard metal clinging, and the creature's paw came into view. "For the pain," they assured, visible holding a syringe which held a clear liquid. Coralle began squirming as the needle was inserted into their front leg, but settled quite quickly as their eyes drooped. Soon, they blacked out yet again. Coralle woke again, this time in what looked like a cell. They tried thinking back to the last things they saw before they blacked out, a round screen on a cart and... they couldn't remember much else. A sudden, searing pain threw them out of their though process. It was on the very edges of their face, but the thing that really threw Coralle for a whim was the fact that they didn't feel their face. They shakily drew their paw up to feel around. Instead of a soft and fuzzy face they felt cold, hard glass. "What the-" they began to speak, but stopped after they heard their own voice. It was hardly even recognizable, the raspy sound aside. It sounded electronic, as if it were a computer's voice; but it was definitely them speaking. Then they put the pieces together. Whatever the scientists had done, Coralle had been the lab rat. Those horrible beings had replaced Coralle's face with a screen, their voice with something unrecognizable, and completely prevented them from ever having a normal life. "Now its fine for you to be awake," the same voice from earlier echoed into Coralle's ears. They were walking across the room to the cage, but every time Coralle moved their gaze the world blurred for a moment as if their eyes were a camera focusing. "How are you feeling?" the voice rang softly, but echoed like nails scratching on a chalkboard in Coralle's head. They heard their heartbeat as it felt like something was taking control over their mind. Rage filled them from the bottom to the top; something unusual for Coralle, but very real. They lost a grip of their mind and leapt up against the metal bars. They quickly reached their paw out and grabbed the scientist. It was a wolf, but Coralle paid no care. They pulled the wolf up to the bars and reached up their other paw; beginning to slash viciously at the wolf. The pleas of help and mercy flew threw Coralle's mind, as they took no notice. They slashed until the wolf fell limp in their grip. They let go, and slashed the lock until it opened. Coralle pushed the cell door open and dashed out, panicking as they regained some grip on their mind again. They darted out, and found a gun lying on a cart, with a navy and teal jacket hung on it. Coralle quickly put the jacket on and grabbed the small pistol, placed it into a pocket. They darted out the door, and ran off into the night as other scientists of the building attempted to chase after. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man it's been a while since I've written a story, and it was enjoyable to do it again! Also, to clear up the 'they', it is because Coralle's gender is unknown. They felt as if they no longer had an identity after the incident, and decided to go genderless, even though they have very little contact anyways. I hope you enjoyed my entry! It was definitely fun to expand my urban part of my universe a lil, because most of it is based around small villages. I also need another villain in my life since my only others are a psychotic tiger and a demonic cat
