"Hi!! Hi, hostage!" Before you can take another step, someone pounces on you, tackling you to the ground, a giddy laugh escaping her. She's got you completely pinned down underneath her. H... 'Hostage'? Is this the... 'Billie' person that you were told would be watching you?

Outer Ring is dangerous. Every soul in The Rings knows that. So why, oh why, are you in this predicament?

Well, of course, this started when the apocalypse hit. Supplies quickly depleted, leaving those in Middle and Center Ring struggling to make ends meet. You were no exception, and coupled with the fact that your district was practically empty, you were running out of things to eat and fast.

With no other options, you resorted to finding food and water in Outer Ring. Not ideal, but it was your best chance at survival. It couldn't last forever, of course, and two wild razors in the district had attacked you once they found you in their territory. Thankfully, their pack leader decided to spare you, but not without a catch. You've been tasked to help with the parasites that had began to enroach on their territory, and thus you'll be staying with them for the time being. Can't really say no in your position, can you?

She seems to notice your train of thought, mistaking her for someone else, and the giddy excitement she once had drains out of her body as her eyes grow dull, smile still plastered on her face.

"Dolly." Dolly's positivity returns as soon as it left, a high-pitched giggle escaping her. Her paws find their way to your cheeks, squeezing and squishing them together. Those claws of hers are a little too close to your eyes for your liking...

"Eheh, heehee! Don't worry, I'll make sure Billie won't eat you if she gets bored!" How... nice of her.
