Backrooms: The Thing that Breathes

Hello

There it was again. That smell. The smelly smell that smelled... of putrid human scent. It reeked, and pierced through his tiny nostrils. Causing his already grumpy demeanor to sour even further. His own scent trails being dampened much to his annoyance.

Little ear holes underneath his prickly rainbow fur, listened, intently... Silence was not broken by spoken verse. Perhaps I will be quiet. Mr. Squiggles thought to himself, in a rather hopeful monotone. And perhaps they'll make a good snack! The cupcake I had was stale. The fluff worm considered, as a slight rumble danced about his mid area.

The little worm wondered which direction the human would take. Left? Up? Well, in his case, the humans were always up. After a moment of all his pondering and grumbling, Mr. Squiggles uncurled himself from his resting spot under the stairs. The illuminated exit sign cast his shadow along the lower wall, as he inched slowly along the floor.

So the hunt had begun again, and so did a new game.

Meanwhile, a not so vicious entity was considering a few hiding spots. And there certainly were a few good spots to choose from! Under the table? Next to a discarded food tray? A high squeak of a voice might have caught Amanda's attention, Wait wait, I know! But no such luck. Zuzu kept all thoughts silent, then positioned quickly.

Once settled, Zuzu didn't squeak, Let's be friends! The little voice would have been eerie in every sense of the word, being the only vocalized noise beyond the clumsy movement of Mr. Squiggles and buzzing of broken lights. A cute little, Forever and ever and ever! was not verbally uttered.

Upon entering the Cafeteria, if Amanda chose to play, she'd notice the little stuffed unicorn sitting suspiciously out in the open. Directly in front of the employees only exit. Not a sound would be made upon physical inspection, but once placed down and human back turned, Zuzu had every intent of finding a new spot to hide.

Can we be friends? I like making new friends! The unicorn lay quietly waiting, obvious to Amanda's doomed situation... and thought up ways to exploit the woman's fears.

Upon Lucas' arrival into the poolroom, a childish tune and chaotic splashing of water abruptly stopped. That smell...

Human?!? Mr. Squiggles' temper flared as he started squiggling his way to a cold spot in the pool. The little guy just wanted his bath time to be unbothered, and so he hissed happily, "Daddy, come play!"

A cute little melody rang out as a particular rainbow stuffed animal sang a merry little melody, "Splashy splash! Splash! Splashy splash like a fishy fish fishy! Fishy fish! I swim swim swim like a fish! La la splash!"

But the voice Wormy had used, was merely mimicking Maria's, Lucas' daughter.

The ever mischievous Wormy the Squiggles wasn't the only one enjoying a nice bath. Angelica's voice cracked against the hummed silence, "The water feels great! Won't you join me, Lucas? I'm over in the deep end."

The voice the bear was using? Carried a beautifully thick Spanish accent.

The comment had been sincere, about the water being nice. The delightful water the backrooms had provided, deserved praise. It helped keep the place clean after all. But where exactly in the pool was the talkative teddy bear? A warm spot down at the end of a slide. Somewhere between two vibrant shining windows. Rather deep water as well.

"Be wary of the cold spots, my dear." Angelica added after a silent moment, "They litter the pool like little polka dots."

But could the friendly voice be trusted? No, not really. Would Lucas avoid the water altogether? It'd be in his best interest. If the water was ignored, Angelica couldn't be bothered, nor Wormy. The bear felt they would be too wet on land to attack. And Wormy? Well, the worm just wanted a bath.

"Oh hello, my dear!" A deeply dapper squeaked voice rang out, "How are you today?" It was Angelica, and the teddy was incredibly happy to get some new company. The bear was currently mimicking Michelle's husband. But what would she think of the room? "It's a lovely shade of pink, isn't it?"

The question was sincere, and so was Angelica's tone of voice, despite it's stolen human charm. The bear sat directly on the back of a swan, but the voice echoed evenly above room. "Though, I admit the black paint is a bit off setting." The bear continued to falsely comfort the human, "Still though, it really is just a marvelous hue! Glistens gently under the water, floats high within the ceiling."

But Angelica wasn't the only entity in the room.

"I think it's an awful shade." Came a bit of a grumpy tone that mimicked Michelle's youngest brother.

And the response made? "You think everything's awful." While mimicking Michelle's oldest brother.

Bickering. Perhaps from a couple who've lost their child to the backrooms. The argumentative voices seemed to be coming from somewhere near the ceiling. Wilbur and Winston was part of a skyline of sorts. Being a cloud and rainbow stuffed children's toy.

Angelica didn't bother to break up the bickering, but did offer, "How about some lunch, my dear." While still using the husband's voice.

"We have some gum!" Came a cheerful rainbow's sing-songy tone... but character had been changed. This time, the voice was Leila's. A replica. A pirated copy of a little girl's voice.

"But it's stale, mommy..." Just like you'll be.

Everybody's characters look great so far! I can't wait to see them all in IC! <3

To everyone filling out a CS; please avoid anime art for your images. Irl face claims and realistic art is preferred. Thanks, you guys! <3 And of course, if you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to ask either myself or @Estylwen!

Happy character creation!

Backrooms: The Thing that Breathes

I AM SO HYPE FOR THIS :U

Backrooms: The Thing that Breathes

The Unicorn

Zuzu the Ponycorn

Ageless | Genderless | unBirthday | 6" | 5 lbs

Personality: Bubbly and cuddly, but only with those they like.

Phobias/Fears: Losing a game of Hide and Seek to a living human.

History: Been around since the early days of this particular set of Backrooms. May very well be one of the original children...

Skills: Hide good! Scare humans!

Inventory: An old ??? bowtie around the neck.

Wait, they have no tails??!?

Pile of Platypuses Puppyducks Eggbutts

Where there is one, there is many.

Mr. Mister (white), Miss Misses (orange), and Hazard (pink)

4 ???, 4 ???, 5 ??? | GNC | unBirthday | 3" each | 3 lbs each

Personality: Argumentative and hyper, but incredibly happy.

Phobias/Fears: Losing a game of Hide and Seek with non Eggbutts.

History: Sentient stuffed animals that have been around since the second wave of victims. Despite being dead, or at least not one of the living creatures, they enjoy playing puzzle games... If they can ever manage to agree on what game to play. With a closer squint at the trio, Hazard appears to be the leader.

Skills: They're very good little tattletales, despite having no tails.

Inventory: Furballs

The odd couple.

Wilbur and Winston

??? mid 30s | Male | Dec 24, March 16 | 5" | 6 lbs each

Personality: They bicker like an old senile married couple.

Phobias/Fears: Never finding their daughter. Finding the truth.

History: Two lost souls. An old married couple who died at the whim of the backrooms. Tried as they might, they've yet to find their daughter in their afterlife. Maybe she's one of the eggbutts? Or perhaps the unicorn... or did they even have a kid in the first place? Maybe they were employees.

Skills: Float, fly, and hover in place. Since they've roamed the backrooms for so long, they like to think they have a good sense of direction of the place. But they probably don't. Or perhaps they're lying.

Inventory: A strangely half empty pack of bubblegum, that never seems to end.

Mr. Squiggles

Mr. Wormy Squiggles, Esq.

2 | GNC | unBirthday | 9" in width | 6 lbs

Personality: A hissy little guy that even the eggbutts don't like. Despite his soft fluffy appearance, this is one caterpillar you absolutely should avoid. He's an ankle biter at best, and only if you're lucky, but a stabbity-stab you in the foot at his worst. He prefers to keep to himself. Approach with caution.

Phobias/Fears: Being stepped on.

History: For one reason or another, he too, ended up in the backrooms. Maybe it was shitty luck or just bad timing, but he's newer than the other stuffies regardless of how he got there. While he enjoys the riddles the backrooms like to present him, he prefers to solve them by himself.

Out of all the sentient stuffed animals, Mr. Squiggles is the only one who actively seeks out his victims. You'll probably notice him if you pay attention to your surroundings though... if not by the dragging sound his body makes as he inches along the floor, you'll smell his oddly stale, yet still fruity bubblegum sent. Or if those two things don't catch your attention, he has a distinct snake or cat like hiss right before being stepped on.

no step on snek

Mr. Squiggles considers the backrooms his home and has no love for such noisy visitors. The quieter you are, the less likely he'll care that you're invading his house.

Skills: Cling onto objects or puncture flesh with his velcro-like fur.

Inventory: A stolen piece of bubblegum... I wonder where he got it from!

Angelica

Angelica

Ageless | Genderless | unBirthday | 6" | 10 lbs

Personality: Charmingly talkative while being slightly passive aggressive.

Phobias/Fears: Nobody to talk to.

History: An ambassador of sorts... Between the backrooms and the stuffed animals that are too afraid to directly consult it. Nobody knows exactly how long Angelica has been here, but they're here and decidedly not going anywhere.

But when it comes to the living, are they friend or foe?

Skills: communication, leadership, and stealth

Inventory: Stashed away items that have been found in lost purses. Such as a pair of car keys. They've also got a napkin with a map of the backrooms drawn on it, a pair of finger nail clippers, a bottle of antihistamine and headache medicine... and anything else they can manage to steal, find, or trade.
