At least up until now. She'd turned around quickly, hoping to see whatever might be watching her and was rather surprised that she actually did.
The small calico cat meowed pitifully at her from its sitting position on the ground. When all she did was blink, baffled, at it, it meowed again, this time louder and more insistently.
"This is a dream," she declared to the air (and the dream-cat, but not, because the dream-cat wasn't real).
It made a pathetic noise at her, getting up to wander closer to her. Sylvi backed away, afraid of what this really was - another creepy thing disguised as normal, no doubt. But the cat just followed her until eventually she'd back up all the way into a wall.
Tense, she waited for whatever hell was about to unleash from the little thing, but all that happened was the little cat did 8s around her ankles. It was purring loudly and rubbing its face on her and damnit, cats had always been her weakness.
She crouched down, offering her hand to the kitty and after being approved, started gently petting it. The cat only purred louder, pleased at having won her over.
The next hour was probably the happiest she'd been since this whole zombie apocalypse s**t started going down. She sat in the damp grass, back against the wall and cuddled with the soft kitty and for the first time in a long time felt some peace. There were still good things in life, like a purring cat on her lap, even if they were few and far between.
She was stroking it gently down its back when she first noticed something wrong. Something round, weirdly smooth-feeling and with a growing sense of dread she moved the kitty to get a better look.
Eyes. It had eyes on its back, all blinking at her at different times. Three of them, to be exact, two yellow and one green.
"It's okay," she told it, patting the kitty gingerly on the back. "We've all got our little flaws...?"
Usually not eyes anywhere but in the head, though. How had she not noticed this earlier? Idly she scratched the kitty under its chin, thinking. She was sure she'd stroked the cat down its back before... hadn't she?
"s**t!" She startled, looking down at her hand, "you bit me!" It wasn't even a lovebite at that, the bite had really drawn blood.
The cat sat up and meowed at her, innocently.
Which was when she noticed something was wrong on its chest - "teeth?" Her tone was quizzical, taking in the odd sight. How...?
She didn't have much time to contemplate it, as the cat went at her face, all claws out and sharp teeth ready. "Hol-" it scratched, it bit, it meant business - she tried to lodge it off but it was going for her eyes and it wouldn't let go of her face and finally she panicked, instinctively grabbing it as hard as she could and throwing it away from her.
"What's wrong with you?!"
OOC: SCENARIO 10
Scenario requirements:
gaia_crown [ PROMPT 10 ][ OUTSIDE ] Blossom
As you walk around (if you are in a group there is only ONE), a small pet begins to follow you. It is up to you what appearance they take. It loyally chases after you no matter where you go. It is obedient to your commands and seems rather intelligent.
As you play around with this pet, you begin to notice it has a couple of strange defects. Eyes growing on its back. An extra pair teeth from its chest. Legs protruding from its cut open belly. The defects get worse and worse, and the pet slowly grows more hostile. Eventually, you have to put it out of its misery. (5 HP to defeat it, it does -1 auto damage). If you decide to SPARE IT it will hurt you instead (or one person in your group) for HALF YOUR HEALTH before it disappears.
When the event is over, add +10 infection to your character's infection meter
Characters involved: Sylvi
Extra effect: Any player in your party [ carrying a flashlight ] will be able to shine it in dark places. This does an additional +1 damage every time they hit any sort of mob (including boss mobs!) when they flash it at them.
