Security || Animal Hospital

Security moves through the hospital with the easy, unhurried stride of someone who’s seen it all–and decided most of it isn’t worth getting worked up over. He’s the picture of calm… until the monitors flicker. Then his whole demeanor shifts: eyes narrow, grip tightens on his taser, and he’s suddenly hyper‑focused, scanning every pixel like it might hold a clue to some grand conspiracy. That’s his switch: steady as stone, unless the cameras show something off. Then the paranoia kicks in, and he won’t rest until he’s checked every blind spot twice.
He’s not exactly lazy–more like strategically relaxed. If there’s a quiet corner, a half‑eaten donut, and a deck of cards waiting, he’ll find a way to be there. His favorite pastime is low‑stakes poker with Psychologist–they’ve got this running joke where Psychologist always “reads his mind” and still loses. On rare, coaxed occasions, Secret Agent joins them, but it’s all hush‑hush. They keep the game hidden behind a supply closet door, because Dr. Harlow and Doctor don’t exactly approve of “operational downtime.”
Being a bat, he’s got wings he could use to zip around the halls or hover near a ceiling camera to fix a loose wire. But let’s be real: he’d rather take the stairs. Flying’s too much effort. He only unfurls those wings when absolutely necessary–like when a camera goes dark and no one else wants to climb the ladder. Then, with a dramatic sigh and a muttered: “Fine, I’ll do it myself,” he lifts off just enough to reach the bracket, fixes the feed with a few deft tugs, and drops back down like it was nothing.
Underneath the laid‑back act and the occasional paranoia, he cares about the place staying safe. He just shows it in his own way: by keeping the halls quiet, the feeds clear, and the team’s morale up with a well‑timed joke. And if that means sneaking a donut break between patrols? Well, he figures that’s part of the job too.

Security is a gray bat-creature with sharp ears angling upwards. They wear a blue uniform with a big pocket on each side and plain black pants with a belt. On their head rests a black cap reading "SECURITY" in white letters. Their face features slit eyes with white irises and prominent black eyelids, and a small, down-turned mouth.
