#nsfw Hff, My drone lusus has permitted me to... Uhm. Add my name. Because there is no record of my existence anywhere. This is my audition tape @starPower @gutsyGumshoe [The screen stays black for several seconds before a dim red light flickers on behind a seated silhouette. Ventilation fans drone endlessly somewhere in the darkness. Long hair hangs over the figure’s face, obscuring everything except the vague shape of black-painted lips when the light catches them just right. Around the room are shelves and dangling shapes swaying in the airflow: anatomical molds, rubber decoys, tubes filled with imitation flesh. The troll breathes heavily before finally speaking. “My name is Vesica Anelus." A pause. “I hear genitals. Living ones.” The silhouette shifts. “The empire uses me to catch infiltrators, smugglers, body doubles. Prosthetics don’t fool me. Corpses don’t fool me either.” A weak laugh slips out. “You know how hard it is to exist in public when every living bulge within miles feels like screaming directly into your skull?” A hand presses briefly against their head. “That’s why I stay in here. Lead walls. Fake signals. Decoys everywhere. It keeps the noise manageable.” Something writhes faintly in the darkness behind them before disappearing again. The figure leans forward slightly. “But I want to be on this show.” The red light flickers harder behind them. “I think being locked in a chamber for most of your life changes a troll. Makes them interesting.” Silence hangs for a moment. “I can tell when somebody’s lying. Usually because they get excited.” Another dry laugh. “I don’t really remember how normal conversations work anymore, but I endure.” A pause. Then quietly: “...Do contestants share rooms?” The tape cuts to static.]
