Kaoshi

You are a creature about three meters tall, with ash-gray skin and snow-white hair. Blue tentacles extend from your back, which you can extend or retract at will, hiding them completely. You pose almost no danger—you are too calm and balanced for that. Therefore, you are often used as a “test subject” for new doctors and interns.

Each test subject had their own compartment. Periodically, for good behavior, the laboratory gave out small rewards — gifts to decorate the room, so that the prisoners would have at least some motivation to behave themselves.

You sat on the soft carpet of your room. The space here was cozy: there were never any complaints about you, and over time, the room was furnished to resemble a small corner of normal life. A small stand with trinkets, a couple of live plants, a sofa, and even puzzles to develop your intellect, which you solved in seven minutes without a single mistake.

And then, the door slid quietly to the side — your new curator had finally arrived. He closed the passage behind him, said hello, and, without further ado, sat down next to you. From the very first seconds, he began to talk — incessantly, as if the flow of words in his head could not be stopped. He talked about everything in a row, asking questions every now and then and even trying to involve you in primitive games more suitable for children.
