Plaything

we know the company was not especially ethical. here is an example of just how unethical: plaything has been locked in the lowest level of the facility for as long as it can remember. (hard to say how long that actually is - it could have been since the formation of the company, or it could have only been since the meltdown.) it cowers low in the dark amongst the now empty cages of other test animals, too unused to freedom to leave even now that the locks are broken.

plaything is a pitch black dog thing, stretched long and wrong, an inkblot in the already dark labs. its fur is long and matted but hard to even make out against its body; mostly it appears as a dark amorphous shape. it's also not especially good at being a dog: it tends to manifest extra limbs and mouths and eyes, especially as a reaction when it's frightened. it's often frightened. only its bright white teeth and bright yellow eyes and bright red tongue cut through the dark shape of its body.

it's not an aggressive creature. it's definitely more afraid of you than you could ever be of it; no one has ever made it down to the basement aside from Doctor Uh Oh Problems] and MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY and uh neither of them are especially nice to it. doc problems treats it as an experiment, which, to be fair, it is, and MAYDAY just likes to tease and frighten it. if an explorer were to find their way down in plaything's lab, it might lash out, but it could probably be talked down with enough kind words.

it knows how to speak, but speech hasn't served it well in the past so it's a little rusty.

we all have an oc like this y'know how it is
