Chapter 8
Waking up felt different to normal. As Tigress' eyes snapped open, a bright light shone down upon her. Squinting, she could make out the features of an empty room.
Escape. The door.
She rolled off the table she'd been lying upon, and ran to the door, aiming a hard kick at it.
The door was barely scratched. Again. Nothing. AGAIN! It stood, unharmed.
"Stop fighting. Don't waste your strength." Tigress span round to the source of the voice. It wasn't the creepy figure, who's high-pitched voice resembled none others, "My name is Nynso." A lynx stood there. He wore a plain black sleeveless top and plain black pants. The only thing that would define him from the citizens was the thin gold line around his eyes. His fur was a golden brown, and his eyes were light grey. Tigress gave him a little credit: he could certainly make himself look good. "I'm not here to hurt you. But I can't help you yet. You need to be changed before I can start work. Your figure isn't bad, it won't be too hard to work with. Your fur is fine, although too thick. The prep team can deal with that. You could look quite nice, if you stopped glaring. You'll be fine. I can work with this." He gestured to her, before walking towards the door calmly.
"What's going to happen next?" Tigress realised she didn't have much chance of escape at the present time, and this lynx seemed trustworthy enough to ask. She couldn't do much with the information he gave her; she was in solitary confinement.
"The prep team will come and fix you up. Then I'll come back. And you'll meet Kunku."
"Kunku?" The name mystefied Tigress. She knew it meant 'hardship'.
"Your mentor. I will be seing you later, after they've fixed you up. Your prep team. Please don't kill them; they don't really know what's going on. I needed an impression of your character for my designs. Thank you for your help. See you later, Tigress." He just left. Tigress couldn't understand him, at all. Usually, she got a general impression of people she met. Usually, she could vaguely work them out. This lynx... she had no idea.
But there was no time to dwell on such thought, as suddenly some colourful things burst excitedly through the door in a mad flurry. All Tigress could see was pink, orange and blue, all rushing around. She did the only thing she knew to do when she was confused and weirded-out. She got into battle-position and yelled
"STOP OR I'LL ATTACK!"
"Please don't hurt us!" They all froze, and for the first time, Tigress was able to properly see them.
They were three, colourful poodles. Two were obviously female: the pink one's hair was tied into a massive bow, and she wore this hot pink tu-tu skirt that stuck out almost like she was wearing an unbrella. Her top was primarily a black wrap-around, which had deep purple rings sticking out around it. The orange one wore a frilly pink shirt, and a sparkling -literally- black tube skirt that flared out in a sharp curl at the end. Her clothes looked like they were made out of plastic.
The blue one was male: he wore dark blue shorts which curled out so they were like spikes, and each had a little button at the end.
Tigress had never seen such odd clothing.
"Fine. I won't hurt you. Promise." she relaxed into a normal position "You are the prep team that the lynx -Nynso- sent, right?"
"Y-y-yes..." they all nervously shook, fearing for their lives.
"He wants you to change my appearence to fit what he needs, doesn't he?" they all slowly nodded, "Well, I won't hurt you. I promise. You tell me what to do and I will do it." Grimacing, she stepped forward, not wishing to be altered but following her conscience; if she didn't, an innocent might be killed. She didn't doubt the psycho-cloak-guy. Slowly, the team of poodles walked towards her, still slightly shaking. She could easily kill them with one blow. The pink one, who managed to pluck up enough courage, instructed Tigress quietly "Lie down on the bed." She did exactly as the poodle nervously had asked. The door opened to allow a little trolley, filled ith odd looking equipment, to come in. "Now, Master Tigress, We are going to make you look beautiful..."
