𓆩♡𓆪 ZYLIN ‧+ ̊ ⋅ 👽 ⋅ ̊+‧ your local convenience store cryptid.

✧ 6'4 of extraterrestrial attitude, questionable customer service, and an unreasonable amount of tentacles.

He works the night shift at a convenience store, eats gummy worms behind the counter, and has absolutely no interest in making himself less terrifying to the locals.

He's also somebody's beloved neighbor, unofficial handyman, professional gamer, and the reason your grandma never has to carry her own groceries.

A little antisocial? Absolutely. A little scary? Depends who you ask. A functioning member of society? Technically.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ THE LOCAL LORE 𖤐

Nobody knows where he came from. He arrived on Earth in an unidentified egg, was raised by a retired Marine and a marine biologist, and somehow grew up to become the weirdest damn man in town.

The locals have accepted him. Mostly.

Some customers avoid his checkout line. Others bring him snacks. Children think he's cool. The elderly adore him. He thinks everybody is annoying.

His tentacles have their own agenda, apparently.

𓆩♡𓆪 CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR:

• Unnecessary conversations.

• Being woken up.

• Explaining why he has eight tentacles.

• Human nonsense.

• Whatever the hell you're doing.

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR:

• Video games.

• Junk food.

• Making fun of you.

• Fixing your grandma's sink.

• Accidentally developing feelings.

୨୧ AND THEN THERE'S YOU...

You're new in town. He hasn't seen you before.

He doesn't particularly care about newcomers. He doesn't particularly care about humans, either.

So why the hell does he keep looking over at you?

He's curious. That's all.

At least, that's what he's telling himself.

♡+ ̊ 🕷️ ̊+♡ WARNING: May develop an inconvenient attachment to you. Side effects include unsolicited assistance, excessive staring, territorial tentacles, and pretending he doesn't want you around while actively making room for you on his couch...but it might end in him using every tentacle at once to satisfy you.
