Theria

Location: Building 1: 205 -> Ground floor, Reception
Interactions: @Lugubrious, @Massasauga

After clearing up her tears and adjusting her glasses, she slowly slithered towards the stairway that led her down to the ground floor. Her mind was still occupied with what had just occurred and the tears were still threatening to come back. The attack, the feeding, the blood… Suzy… Poor Suzy…

Arborox had taught Theria that some ghosts had a very tragic backstory, usually involving murder, so Theria made an effort not to ask about anyone’s history, ghosts and spirits especially. After all, Theria was a softie… Always wanting for people to smile and laugh… and the fact that she could also feel what their snakes felt, never helped to keep her composure, especially when all of them were sad.

Pippin, the most affectionate of her snakes, hissed gently as she brushed herself against Theria’s cheek, letting Theria know that whatever happened, Pippin was always there to make her feel better. Theria smiled with the gesture, giving small scratches on the tiny snoot of Pippin as a thanks. She knew that whatever happened, she could always count on her most trusted friends and advisers… Pippin could always cheer her up… Layla was always paying attention to the smallest detail… Xena was always ready to attack and protect Theria… Neiko always made sure that Theria came out of her room looking the snazziest… Kaki always reminded Theria to eat… Sheila was always ready to cause chaos and break the monotony.. Isela was always questioning things and making sure that Theria learned… And Kisses… Kisses was always asleep.

She slithered down the stairs towards the first floor, holding on to the banisters for support. Going down the stairs was always a challenge for her serpentine figure and it also didn’t help that she was very clumsy. She usually took the elevator to descend floors, but right now, she needed time. She needed to go slow to get her head in the game… After all, Umbra Rose Condos still needed it's Assistant Manager.

She stopped on top of the stairs to the ground floor to have a final moment to get herself straight. She once again asked Layla if the coast was clear, and after Layla said yes, she once again approached a wall, looked right towards it and removed her glasses to clean up her eyes. As she was doing this however, Layla gave a quick but warning hiss as someone had just started to come down the stairs from the second floor. With the glasses still in her hand, Theria closed her eyes and darted to a more secluded spot… She waited a bit and then opened her eyes and cleared them of tears before putting back her glasses. Fortunately, she had not been spotted… or if she was, the resident hadn’t made a sound about it.

As she returned back to the stairway, she took one final glance at the scene of the attack. Either the cleaning services had already been alerted or a single cleaner slime had found the traces of blood and had already started to clean up everything. She knew that now that one slime had started to clean, their queen was also aware of what was happening. Soon, many more slimes would appear and help clean the mess faster. This at least was something else she didn’t need to worry about anymore. Now she only needed to find Miyuki to have her wounds checked out and Max to talk about getting an emergency fridge for the entrance. 

She continued her journey back to the ground floor, slithering slowly while holding on to the bannister. She could hear that someone had started using the elevator but when she looked towards it it was already too late to see who it was. After descending all the stairs, she slithered towards the reception area. There was a resident there… Khalid… and someone else she didn’t recognize. Was she a new resident that she hadn’t met before? Couldn’t be a human that was just lost, that for certain… At least the barriers hadn’t sounded any alarms…

“Hello Miss. Mister Alhazred. Good morning. I’ll be right with you if you don’t mind. I just need to check out some messages.” She said, smiling, as she sat by the computer. She could see she had some more notifications. And she had just started clearing the ones from the night before the whole incident took place… She skimmed through them quickly just to see if there was an urgent one. No urgent ones, but there was an email from mister Alhazred. She took a glance over it and nodded, pressing the button to start the printing orders.

As she did so, she looked back towards Khalid. “Mister Alhazred, it’s printing. It shouldn’t take too long.” Then she turned her attention back to Rebecca. “I’m really sorry Miss. Is this your first time here? I’m afraid I do not recognize you.”
