can live fine without others. have for years. in a world of humans, ZILLA is the apex. do miss a few old faces though. the girl across from my cage. would sing to her to soothe her. got split up on the way out.

mass produced. am not the only one. a lot perished during the break out. not sure what happened to the others after. meant to be … guard dogs. expendables. to protect the lab.

has always been the case with humans. gets proven again and again. ( tilting his head at this small … guy. ) experiment name. usually goes by that.

usually people get scared. cowards. ZILLA won’t attack unless provoked. need the energy for more important things as the weather cools off.

spooky month. very fun. can walk about normally during this month.

ro-bot??? didn't think those were real.

You forgot about me.

( bedbedbed-- ZILLA drops on all fours, slowly making her way into the bedroom. she's never been so excited to sleep before! a low purr rumbles from them as they crawl up into bed. streeeeetch. )

limping about and looking as pathetic as a 6'3" hybrid can. (it's for attention.)

( perking up. little tail waggle. after napping with them that one time, it's been wanting to curl up with them again. nodnodnod. ) would like that. sounds cozy.

maybe. somes inside voices are louder than others. prrr. vinny stuck with ZILLA now.

small colorful folks. be weary. saw big bird overhead.

brain mean to you. like ZILLA's brain is mean to them. vinny is plenty wanted. won't leave vinny's side.

onesie. ( it repeats. it recalls very faint memories of having one at some point in its childhood. a dinosaur one. ironic. ) why for me?

do not get these ‘bunny suits’. they don’t look like any bunny ZILLA has seen.

ellie. 🙂‍↕️ feels more normal. even if ellie is far from normal.

( despite being woken up to a stranger hovering over them, they didn’t seem scared. more disoriented than anything else. she blinks her eyes one at a time. ) not many other choices. ( without a home, ZILLA was nomadic. not by choice, but it was all she had. someone like her could never —>

these are … much closer to what ZILLA remembers. like the big boxy ones.

more … tee vees!

ooc. god i forgot my own ocs lore since its been years since i used them they are bodily about 21, but have been alive for way longer than than slowed aging process to live long as a good guard dog 😔

thought they were so neat. technology very … different these days. miss the big boxy tee vees.

( brows furrow. it’s clear that they are thinking pretty hard. it’s been so long since then. ) brown.

spring locked. ( snff snff. a claw gently taps the suits casing. ) seen thing like this once. long time ago. before the experiments. remember … a bear.

en do. ( a word unfamiliar to them. despite the smell of rot, they slouch and approach. metal. ) these arms. not my real ones. lost those long time ago. bad car accident.

some pain never fades. ( scratching at where the scales connects to flesh. ) still feels it.

snazzy cool! ( it repeats, nodding in agreement. ) rewrite sounds neat too. but will call you sonic since you prefer it. 🙂‍↕️

likes it better. makes ZILLA feel a bit more normal. 🙂‍↕️

ellie. haven’t been called that since childhood, me think.

very tired a lot. sleep in small bursts, usually. two hours here, two hours there. maybe … sleep better here. feel safe with vinny. ( both long arms wrap around them in turn. prrr. the warmth was perfect. )

fitting for a giant lizard, was told. hehe. still sorta remembers my birth name. been a long time someone used it though.

would really really like that. nowhere else warm to ZILLA to go. no home. blindly wandering wherever food sources go. ( her foot joins the thumping! overgrown water puppy! they are eating up every bit of attention. )

( carefully flopping into bed, arms still looped around them. it was a bit hard to adjust them with them both being in the hoodie but! prrrr. ) nap needed. … feels safer napping with someone. nice feeling.

am glad to keep vinny company. company nice with you. ( and now that vinny had showed her kindness and fed her, there’s no real getting rid of her. ouh! tail thumping loudly against the ground. scritch spot found! )

sonic it is! am … ZILLA. that was my experiment code name. not real name though.

mrrrp! ( lifting with little effort and waddling off towards the bedroom! she’s purring loud enough to vibrate. feeling safe enough to nap was a new delight she’d gladly take. ) maybe ZILLA’s cold and your warmth will balance each other out.

what are you? silly friend. never seen a thing like you.

mm. sugar. ( one of their favorite treats while dumpster diving for food was sweets and baked goods. she was amazed with how much some stuff gets thrown out. ) can now, if you want. will carry you to bed.

( ough. it’s almost like their brain shuts off entirely. leaning down and pressing their head into their hand. prrrrrrr. ) okaaaay. just don’t wanna hurt vinny. but will lay on you if you want.

hehe. sleepy vinny. could take a nap together. ( pop! head through the hole! eyes all wide. prrrrr. she’s never had coffee. but she has smelt it before. ) is coffee good?

you sure? she’s pretty big. heavy. ( she’s eating up the attention. when you get nothing but negative attention most of your life, you yearn for positive touch. ) would be all coooold.

talk funny. likes your voice. :)

mmhmm … cold doesn’t play nice with ZILLA’s body. makes body get all slow and sleepy. ( trying to stick his head up into the hoodie now?? no sense of personal space at all. )

Is this what I wanted? Am I satisfied? And now I'm standing tall, yet all I want to do is hide.

maybe. wouldn’t be rough about it. need to remember that people aren’t usually as durable as ZILLA. ( waddling close and rub her face all over the others shoulder. )

mrrrrrr. ( tail wagging REALLY fast. it betrays its blank and mildly confused expression. while it doesn’t believe it’s worthy of compliments, it WAS nice to hear. ) too kind to me, vinny.

pointy lanky thing. hm.

“ mmm. no. :) have no reason to. wasn’t wronged by small man. “

very strange taste. never met someone who thought ZILLA was pretty. not the usual reaction. ( huh … why do they feel all warm and fuzzy inside? )

“ want to get him out of the dumpster. but nowhere else better to put him. doesn’t have a home. wanders. “

smell of rot and decay. where?
