Church Grim

[crypt-void]

Born to walk around in the woods, and have someone shriek in horror, exclaiming, "Good GOD, what is that thing!?"

Then, to have a group of kids make up stories about that weird dog thing that stares at you from the edge of the woods.

Forced to just be socially awkward and pay taxes.

I'm just an animal.

Humans and I aren't the same species. Somehow, it's like they see the animal in me. Speak to me as rarely as they can, skirt around where I step like I'm a danger to them. They speak in a language I don't recognize, make quips about how ragged I look, how uncanny my behaviour is, and how sharp these teeth and claws I hold look in their eyes.

I am not built the same as them. My mind and body are made from different flesh. And they can tell. They can tell just from looking at me. Not one of us, I see the thought behind their eyes. I can't understand the concept that one of them could not be a danger to me, that any of them don't want to hurt me the way they have my whole life. I snarl and bite my teeth at them, then cover my mouth in hot shame. I can't even mimic their rage.

My teeth are inhuman and monstrous. I look at them in the mirror and see a wide animal maw staring back at me. I learned early to not smile or laugh in a way that shows them off. Humans don't like when a beast bares it's teeth at them.

My voice is garbled and broken, throat damaged from mimicking a language my vocal chords didn't evolve to speak. I used to take comfort in growling, snarling, crowing, screaming. It became clear that did nothing but scare them. I stopped.

Finding ones that aren't a danger is almost worse. Longing. I can be a good animal for you. Bite my tongue and hide my teeth away from you. Never speak so you can say anything you want to me. I can lay on the floor so you don't have to share your furniture with a filthy creature. Let me stay, I can be a good animal for you. I would be so good at it.

I'm as much a human as I am a rock or a leaf in the dirt below their feet.

What's Alfred like in your Backrooms AU?

*vibrates*

Alfred is an entity almost exclusively found in the Sublevel of Gotham, and is simply known as 'the Butler' in the files and all that created by MEG and the human wanderers.

He looks similar to a normal human. In fact? Most mistake him for one at first glance. But the longer you look the more off he looks. Limbs a hint too long, just enough to cause his silhouette to be... wrong. Eyes too bright, face too symmetrical. Gaze too... sharp, too predatory.

He's also a reality bender, but it's limited to the sublevel that is the Manor. He can move and alter it as he pleases.

Personality wise he's pretty much the same as usual. Very Sassy immortal old man who is unimpressed with his not-son's shenanigans of continuously bringing children home or going out wandering the levels only to get lost for days.
