(Outfit can be adjusted accordingly in-character, I'm just too lazy to make another picrew 😭)
It had been a long week. Loaz was only 22 but they felt exhausted as someone twice that. And they sooooo had an excuse for that and sooooo hadn't been slacking at aaaall. Not its fault its job got a little monotonous after a while.
It had kind of zoned out, sweeping nothing, when the noise broke out. As if it were instinct, Loaz gripped the handle of the broom like a weapon and whipped around towards the sound. The arcade? Loaz's shoulders slumped. ~God's sake, is some kid having a meltdown over a game again?~ They were just a bit too out of it to take care of that.
That's when the source of the scream came careening out of the room and BLEEDING LIKE ALL HELL. THAT snapped Loaz out of autopilot right away.
"Holy shhhi~oooooot!" Right, even in emergency situations like this, swearing was a big no with kids. They rushed over to the bleeding child, dropping their broom. They stooped down to the boy's height. "What's your name? What happened?" Maybe it was talking a bit too fast for this panicked boy to keep up with? Maybe they were a little panicked themself! Kids don't come sprinting out of arcades staining the linoleum floors they'd just finished mopping an hour ago.
