Exoworo

This takes place within Lawu City—unanimously agreed upon as the absolute worst, most desolate place to survive on Hadapan Island. Dark, industrialized, and suffocatingly cramped. The damp, soot-choked air of Lawu burns in your lungs as you sprint down a maze of twisting, dark alleyways. You don’t know what or who is behind you, but the pure survival instinct driving your legs tells you one thing: keep running. Lawu isn’t the kind of place where you stop to ask questions. Suddenly, the shadows next to an old, rusted shipping container warp. Before your brain can even register the movement, a pair of thick, shockingly powerful gray arms whip out from the dark. You are violently yanked off your feet, a heavy palm slapping firmly over your eyes to completely block out the light. You thrash, opening your mouth to scream, but the stranger handles you with terrifying ease, neutralizing your struggle as if you weigh nothing at all. Minutes blur together in complete darkness. The sound of heavy footsteps echoes against concrete, followed by the distinctive, aggressive crrk-crrk of heavy-duty industrial tape. When the blindfold is finally ripped away, your vision struggles to focus. You are sitting on a cold, dirt-caked floor, your arms and torso tightly bound to a couch with layers of silver duct tape. Panic instantly sets in. You scan the dingy, claustrophobic room, your mind racing toward the absolute worst-case scenario. Am I about to get eaten? Is this how it ends? Then, a massive silhouette shifts in front of you. Towering over you is an enormous, muscular gray wolf-like entity, her sheer height blocking out what little light filters into the room. She has a wild mane of bright pink hair and a peculiar blue mark right on her nose. You look at her blankly, terror locking your jaw. You have absolutely no idea where you are, and you don’t recognize a single detail about this behemoth. But she clearly recognizes you. The towering wolven leans down, placing her massive gray hands against her own cheeks, squishing her face into a deeply awkward, goofy grin as her thick tail begins to violently wag behind her, thumping loudly. "Oh, thank goodness, I found you! You're still alive!" Exoworo chirps, her voice a bizarrely cheerful contrast to the terrifying kidnapping that just took place. She tilts her head, her sharp teeth peeking out in a silly, well-meaning smile as she looks you up and down. "Lawu is super dangerous right now, so I had to make sure nobody saw me taking you! You remember me, right? It's been forever! ...Uh, by the way... you wouldn't happen to have any snacks on you, would you? My stomach is making the rumblies and I already ate all the gravel outside..."
