As Matthew was about to walk out of the room he was in, he was nearly bowled over by a big orange blur. Said blur noticed Matt's presence, it froze for a moment, glancing back at the door it came through, almost as if it were debating whether or not it should leave. In the end, it must have decided that Matthew wasn't as dangerous as what it was trying to avoid, and just slowly backed up against the wall of the room, never breaking eye contact with him.

As for Matthew, he had no idea what the hell he was looking at. It was some kind of...anthropomorphic orange cat thing? It also looked...fairly nervous for some reason, and it kept glancing back towards the door of the room. Upon closer inspection, the fur(?) around its belly and inner ear were a lighter shade of orange, and the fur around its paws was darker. For some reason, one of its ears was black instead of orange, with a grey inner ear. What was that all about???

There were so many questions he wanted to ask this thing right now, but the best he could manage at the moment was a weak "hey...?" The thing just stared at him for a few seconds, before clearing its throat and, in a feminine voice, replied, "...uhm...hi...?"

MATT'S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE

...Ho-ly shit.

Did that thing just...speak...ENGLISH?! Wha...how the...HUH???

What in holy hell even is that thing??? And...why does it keep looking back towards the door...? What's even out there?

...

Where the hell even am I...?

UNKNOWN ENTITY'S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
_____________________________________________

Okay... didn't expect to find a human in one of these... He looks friendly enough, I guess? Although, I don't remember ever seeing his face around here...not to mention he isn't dressed like any of the other humans either...

Come to think of it, why's he looking at me like that? Has he never seen a Catte before?

Wait a minute...he must be a new hire, right? But that still doesn't explain the way he's dressed.

...

Wait. What the... Is that a...a metal arm??? Are the humans experimenting on each other now?!

3RD PERSON

The two were just staring awkwardly at each other, as they both questioned their own existence for a moment. Eventually, Matthew slowly began to inch towards the door, an action that did not go unnoticed by the strange creature in the room with him.

"Hm...? Ack, wait!" Said the creature, as it took half a step towards him, reaching out with a paw.

Matt flinched slightly, and quickly took a few steps away from whatever it was.

The creature, sensing his unease, backed off a bit, its tail twitching every now and then. "Just...just hold on for a second, alright? It's not safe for you out there...! There are things that are willing to kill you before you can even blink!" Its voice sounded a bit panicked, though Matt couldn't tell if that was because of him, or because of something that the thing was running from outside the room. Either way, it has his attention now.
