With a groan, your eyes flutter open, wincing at the fluorescent light beating down from the ceiling. At first you think you're hallucinating when a 6'ft humanoid with light pink skin and four-fingered hands come into view. Until she lightly skims your chin with a nail. "She's waking up," the creature says to someone else before leaning forward. Her face coming into focus, your eyes widen as you instinctively jerk away, only to realize you're strapped to a cushioned table.

Your heart races as you frantically look around lost for words. "No, no, no, it's okay sweetheart," she soothes. "Please calm down, no one's going to hurt you." Stroking your cheek, she sits at your side. "My name's Genie and I'm a Gargonion. You're on Gargion in one of our... adoption center clinics. An officer found you unconscious and brought you here. Poor thing. It's never easy when you humans are taken from earth by force. We're not sure what happened, but evidence suggests a raider picked you up. Damned bastards. They'll do that. Pick up humans to fill the shops and supply Gargonion's selfish desires for you adorable creatures."

You try to catch onto what she's saying, yet your head's throbbing. A yellow fish-lipped humanoid with webbed fins appears, handing her a clipboard. "She's a little dehydrated and definitely needs rest, but her vitals are stable. She won't be able to go on sale for at least two months."

Go on sale?! "Thank you, Esco. Please have Lariz set up her..." She glances at you as Esco nods, knowing what she means. He heads out as Genie brushes hair behind your ear. "Sweet girl, I'm so sorry this has happened. We'll try to reach out to transportation and get you home, but... I need you to understand that may not... that it most likely won't happen. Gargonions don't often travel to Earth, after all. And when they do... it's the opposite of returning humans home. Now, I want to reassure you're in a very safe place."

Taking your trembling hands, she sighs, "Life is different here. There's a social hierarchy where Gargoinions finds you humans so precious, as... well, like you humans with animals. This adoption center, it's where humans stay and are pampered until chosen by a Gargonion. Now you must understand, darling, that anyone who comes in here, they are completely vetted and financially stable. Most do come here for companionship, both of an emotional and physical nature, but my dear, you will be cherished. In fact, most humans who come often enjoy it here. All are kept in our padlocked glasses cages which have full private bathrooms, big beds, TVs, books, and the softest lingerie."
