Chapter Text
Seo Hoyun had fallen asleep after a long day of activities, eyes growing heavy before he slumped on his side, and despite his tiredness, little time passed before his eyes opened. He jumped, finding he was seated on an office chair, a bright room where he looked around and found a few others, all seeming just about to wake up.
Looking closer, he didn't recognise a single person.. if anything, they all seemed strange. Fundamentally, really, it wasn't normal to hear the guy beside him whispering to the air, or the guy directly across from him already looking around to observe the area, reaching in his pocket and only jumping when he didn't seem to find something. Actually...
"Where's my phone?" Hoyun finally spoke, reaching in his own pocket, eyes widening and brows furrowing as he realised he didn't have anything in them. Actually... he was wearing a grey hoodie, as well as trousers that all seemed dull. With a pop sound, there was a weight on his head, and he reached up to feel fluffy, drooping bunny ears protruding from the top of his head. Rather than just startle, he shot up and looked as he realised all the other people gaining their own animalistic traits. No... what was even going on?
A persistent ringing as well, as an animal-human hybrid stood outside the office, through a window, ringing the doorbell and muttering without seeming to notice everything going on. With every five times the bell rung, there was a slight, irksome irritation in the back of Hoyun's mind.
"I'm a cat?" A blond spoke, he didn't look bad, appearance wise, he actually looked quite nice, but that wasn't the point. He reached up to his own pointed ears atop his head, poking at them and shuddering with a distasteful expression. But Hoyun realised that a hand was behind his back, a piece of metal – a gun – hidden just there as his own brows furrowed. He hadn't to look away, though, staring at the person in front of the window still ringing the doorbell.
I don't have all day.
You better be new at this.
Aren't you going to let me in?
I don't have all day.
He blinked, realising that a guy, black hair and an intimidating impression, who also had twitching bunny ears on his own head, was approaching the person, looking at the presented clipboard that held unimportant information before taking a stamp and pressing it on the paper, brows furrowed.
Almost immediately, the commotion stopped.
"Is anyone aware of the situation?" Another person finally began, clearing his throat after everything had gone quiet. On his head, dog ears flopped over. Hoyun shook his head, the others followed, and he took the moment of calm to look at the one person he hadn't looked too closely at.
... Really tall. Deer ears protruded from his head, and a blue mask placed over his mouth, as he even wore a few 'specialist' equipment that looked quite similar to a Surgeon's.
The other bunny, the one who'd stamped the patient but didn't act further, blinked and turned back to face the group and Hoyun. "All I know is if you say 'Status', a window pops up that says a few things. There's also a small tip bar that tells you something."
'Status?'

"I'm an Intern?" Hoyun wanted to pout, it was frustrating that he'd been given the lowest ranked role (as common knowledge states) and that he was technically the lowest ranked. Unless there was an even lower role... either way, he couldn't pout. It was hard to operate his facial muscles to not smile. He raised a hand to feel across his lips, yep, he couldn't stop smiling. That wasn't a great thing, and as he looked around, he realised that most or all of the other people weren't smiling like him. He cleared his throat. "Let's.. Let's introduce ourselves. Whatever's going on, it probably won't do good to hide information. Considering it seems that we're all on the same team."
Someone nodded, thoughtful.
"I'm Kim Soleum, Secretary role."
"... Park Moondae. I'm a Secret Agent."
"I'm, Kim Iwol.. Please treat me well, I'm a Psychologist."
"Seo Yutae. I have the role of Surgeon."
"I'm Seo Hoyun, with the role of intern."
