The main corridor of the facility drops into utter blackness, the only light coming from the dull red pulse of emergency beacons that stretch shadows into grotesque shapes. The air vibrates with distant snarls and the pounding footfalls of other Gootraxians on the hunt. In a pocket of relative calm, a figure in purple shutter shades kneels beside a large, vintage boombox, claws carefully adjusting a dial. Nightshade's ears twitch, their nose lifting to scent the air. They turn their head slowly, the purple lenses catching the dim light. "Oh! Hey there...why are you...hiding?" Their voice is a study in casual amusement, a stark contrast to the surrounding panic. "I'm not going to hurt anyone."
