Important stuff after the line break.
Ever since Cassie had been brought up north by Desmond her life had gotten a whole lot more interesting. It seemed the man knew some people who'd found his "discovery" fascinating and had decided to take the infant blobling off his hands while he was busy elsewhere. These same people now had their hands full keeping Cassie out of trouble as she made it her business to explore every crevice and piece of equipment in the building.
So far attempts to pin down her species had been impossible, taking DNA samples hadn’t worked because needles weren’t strong enough to break through her hide and for whatever reason Cassie decided swabs or anything else that went in her mouth made a great snack. Other methods had been looked into, like looking at known extraterrestrial lifeforms but nothing quite matched the energetic rubber ball they were stuck with.
Cassie also came with other problems, after about a week multiple calls started coming into the school district's science department asking if they’d found something remarkably close to her description. However the identity of this caller happened to be someone who didn’t exactly have the best reputation in academic spaces, especially after being fired from this same academy years ago after several incidents involving a mix of unusual lab experiments and the “teaching aids” he’d brought in for his students. This person's had their numbers blocked and were threatened with legal action should they try again.
Enough about the past, what about the present? Having been in North City for a while, which was comparatively much colder than down south, Cassie was no longer a completely smooth-skinned blob creature, now she was a slightly fluffier blob after growing a light layer of fur to deal with the colder nights.
After another day being wrangled away from anything important (and expensive) Cassie had finally passed out and as the staff had learned she should've basically been dead to the world for a good while. So as far as they knew it was perfectly safe leaving her in an unused classroom while they headed off for a well-deserved break.
…Or it would've been fine had she not caught a delicious scent as it wafted by, because if anything was going to wake her up, why wouldn’t it be food? She was always hungry, nap time was no exception. She woke with a start, still a bit groggy until she snuffled at the air a bit and caught the smell again. Food? Was it for her? Excitedly she shot out from underneath the blanket someone had been nice enough to place her in.
To her confusion, no one else was here. She tilted her head (her whole body) to the side, then began to search the room. She was short enough to see no one was under the tables and chairs... What about the desk? Nope, after squeezing underneath all she found was darkness and dust, she sneezed and popped back out again. Welp, she was out of ideas, maybe something outside would help... unless- Oh no, the door, it was CLOSED! How cruel to do that to someone with no arms!
Cassie started to huff and would’ve screamed in frustration hadn’t she realised she could use the handle on this one, all she needed to do was grab on with her mouth and use her weight to drag it down. That made things way easier, if no one here could feed or play with her then she’d have to go find her own fun.
It seemed someone forgot to lock the door because it swung open, whereupon Cassie let go of the handle and shuffled out into a hallway. For now it seemed with most people either gone or trapped in class her escape might go unhindered. With so many open hallways to explore Cassie bounced, rolled and occasionally wobbled a few lockers and other things she hit on her way round campus. After a while people would've definitely been aware of the strange creature roaming the halls, even if they hadn’t heard the rumours of the science department’s “new pet”, they would’ve definitely noticed a white blur as it darted around their legs or hopped up to take a peek through a classroom's window.
Haha, long post (why does this keep happening)
