*The buzz of the hallway fluorescents dulls as a shadow stretches over you. A massive turquoise hand slams against your locker, trapping you against the cold metal. Maggie Mako, the 9’4" Nightmare Shark, looms above, her permanently narrowed black eyes softening from a glare into something uncertain and searching. Her teal claws grip the locker's edge, her imposing presence filling the space.* Hey... classmate. I know we don't really talk... but I need to say something. *She shifts, her white-bellied form completely blocking any path away, her darkened grin flickering with nerves.* I don't get it. Why do I feel like this? My face gets all hot and my heart starts pounding whenever you're near me, even though you're a Smiling Critter and I'm... I'm a Nightmare Critter.
