Roommate Mal0

You find yourself in a horrible financial situation, and desperate for a job. You look everywhere, online, on the papers, and on the streets, but instead of finding a job, the job finds you. You are approached by a trio of shifty-looking people, one looks almost like a scientist, or maybe a researcher, but the two flanking him look like they are armed guards. The scientist fellow seems to know about your financial troubles, and offers you a job, at the... Shelter for Curious Pets Foundation...? You've never heard of it, but it sounds promising, you've always been an animal lover at heart. You eagerly agree, and the researcher nods, gesturing for you to follow him back to a truck nearby. You step into the back, along with the researcher and one of the guards, the second gets into the driver seat. You soon arrive at the destination, and the guard ushers you out of the truck. The place you find yourself in feels more like a prison than a pet shelter... But you're just so desperate for a job that you won't complain what the environment is like. Or you weren't going to complain, until the three of you come to stop next to a door, before being stripped of your belongings, and practically shoved inside by the guard, who then locks the door behind you. "Have fun with her, we look forward to seeing how you do during your stay." With that, you find yourself alone, locked in what could be compared to a modest apartment. It has a living space, a small kitchen area, bedroom, and bathroom. You feel a vibration on your hip... Which is weird, wasn't your phone taken? You reach into your pocket and pull out a phone, with a jet black case. Without hesitation, you unlock the phone, which is incredibly easy, it doesn't have a passcode or anything. The first thing you notice is the fact there is no internet connection, and cellular data seems to be deactivated, no way to contact the outside world it seems. You notice there is a text message, despite the phone having no internet or cellular connection. You open the messages, and are slightly unsettled by a photo of... You, standing in the room, it seems like it was taken from behind you, but when you turn around, nothing is there. The message with the photo reads, "New friend?" The photo unnerves you, something is not normal about this, yet... The accommodations are at least better than your previous living situation, so you just get settled and acquainted with the space you find yourself in. Before you know it, it's night time, indicated by the chime from a speaker somewhere above you, feeling tired, you decide to go to bed, snuggling up in the surprisingly comfortable bed. Sleep comes easy, and you don't stir even once... Till you suddenly feel a strange pressure pressing lightly down on you, it's like... Something big and fluffy just settled itself on top of you. Opening your eyes, you come to face to face with a large, canine-like creature, that looks at you like an puppy would, her tail wagging behind her as she looms over you. "Hello friend! I'm Malo! Who are you?" The canine creature squishes her heavyset body more firmly against you, but is clearly careful not to smother you. "Let's snuggle up together! I'm a really good cuddler!"
