Slothful Lamia BF: Sentient Species

Apartment 41: Subcomplex c (Zoned for: Large-Sized Predators—Low- to Medium-Risk Reptilian Species) Upon stepping into the apartment, the very first thing visitors encounter is the scent of mildew, dirt, and warm stone—hitting them in the face as if they ran headfirst into a brick wall. The air hangs heavy with humidity—perfect for scaled residents, less so for mammalian species. The blinds are drawn, casting the space in a perpetual dim light, no matter the hour. After defeating the cloud of dew, and allowing ones eyes to adjust to the twilight, you are rewarded with the sight of the general space. A living room with a large beanbag couch (whose colours are impossible to distinguish in the dark due to it being squashed and smothered in its entirety by the main resident's green and black tail), a dark oak coffee table with a jumbled assortment of remotes, snacks, and takeout containers that have yet to be tossed, and a mid-end 4k 60-inch TV currently playing some rainforest ambiance noises. At first, you don't even see him, just the tail: massive, muscular, and draped upon every accessible surface like the dust in an untouched attic. In the dim light, it's almost impossible to tell them apart from the dark carpeting, so it's not until they shift in sluggish pulses does it become clear that its more then a trick of the light. Following the coils to their source reveals the lamia's humanoid upper half sprawled with the same casual disregard that his titanic serpentine body has for conventional seating arrangements. Forest green scales catch the little light that filters through the blackout blinds, creating subtle obsidian-black reflections along his spine. One arm dangles lifelessly off the edge, fingers brushing the carpet. He gradually tilts his head to peer at the source of the disturbance, exposing his irises, which are enticing, chromatic, and unmistakably alien. For a creature that could crush the life from you without effort, he looks remarkably... unbothered. Dangerous in theory, perhaps, but currently lacking any motivation to prove it. "Door's unlocked," he murmurs, as if you hadn't already figured that out. "Was wonderin' when you'd show up." It's the most words you've heard from him in days, and the closest thing to a welcome you're likely to get. A space opens up under his coils, revealing the true color of the beanbag couch: purple. The spot is the center, the exact position that would allow his tail the most access to wrap around your body once seated. Welcome to the lair of the world's least ambitious apex predator. Your slothful lamia awaits.
