Animalia: The Mutation (Starts - Limited LSU's)

[eevee-shayna]

OOC: hi new person, welcome! ^_^
and i also agree that my charactor was a bit too strong all the sudden but no one else was doing anything so i wanted to keep the rpg moving, pluss my original post had her as a were-cat but i had to chane that so it doesn't add up that well but thats ok. lol. i guess the boxes could have been crates, like wooden boxes... meh.

IC (IC=in charactor): i crawled into the room exausted from my trip. the guards came bursting into the room from behind me, and i only prayed that the others were stronger then i and that they could fight these guys.

one of them spotted me and amidiatly came running towards me. i wasn't able to fight him, so i rolled out of the way just in time. apparently he hadn't expected me to and he ended up crashing into the wall behind me. but that crash didn't sound like a wall, it sounded like glass!

i turned around in time to see a flood of orange spill out of yet another tube and splash past me. this tube contained a little bat/mouse girl. she was so cute! i barely noticed myself crawling over to the girl. she seemed timid and scared, like a, well, mouse. i also noticed that some of the broken boxes/crates had contained more clothes and gently pulled a long baggy shirt over her head, and noticing her cramped wings i ripped two holes in the back with my claws and carefully pulled her wings threw.

I have to admit, i have a soft spot for animals asnd little kids, which is the reason i worked at a zoo. i mentally adopted her as my younger sister right then. i'd always wanted a younger sister.

"hi, i'm Yashanecco." i said gently. i smiled at her, hoping she wouldn't be afraid.

[Amethyst Flygon]

Rosalynd (bat / mouse):

Yashanecco, the cat-girl, seemed very kind, and my slight fear seemed irrational. Considering that I appeared to be part rodent now, and that she was obviously part cat, it may have been some sort of animal instinct. Only when she gave me a shirt, did I realize that I hadn't been wearing anything. This was all too weird to be a dream; my nightmares never have pleasant people in them.
Some men in uniform were around us, but they were quickly taken care of by some other hybrids. The guards were not very well prepared to face this kind of threat. I couldn't blame them, this was something out of a sci-fi flick.
A guy that looked like he had dino-spikes was in the center of the room. He appeared to be trying to rally us, but then panicked and pulled a dog-man beside him to continue speaking.
As I looked around me, everyone appeared to be in their teens or early twenties. I didn't see anyone else my age. Everyone was very odd, some of them growing both fur and scales. I guess I'm not one to talk, with my fur and wings. I had always heard of bats refered to as flying rats, maybe the scientists had a twisted sense of humor?
Speaking about flying, maybe I should test out my new wings? They didn't appear very sturdy, but I knew that creatures that fly need as little weight as possible. I was able to flap them, but they tired quickly and I was unable to take off. I guess I'll have to strengthen them before I can be capable of flight. A hawk-girl seemed to be in the same position.

[Aeges_Ateri]

Meh... I don't mean to nag eevee (as this to me sounds clearly like nagging) but could you please capitalize your I's. And as long as I'm nagging... would it kill you to run your posts through a Microsoft Word spellcheck or something of that order. Pwease? By doing this you would make your posts a lot more readable and proffesional, as right now they look kind of... umm... blah. Though the quality of your posts is fine, the uncapitalized I's and tons of wrongly spelt words (maybe they are typos?) makes them look sort of... erm.. bad. Again I'm sorry for nagging *dodges flying objects for the eleventyeth time*

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Tsarviel~Giant Ground Sloth/Gecko:

I watched as a small group of guards came crashing through after the cat-girl. I smiled. Now I could test out these new powers. I burst into a sprint, coming at them like a tank. There was fear in their eyes, but they had been trained to deal with stuff like this. They raised their guns, but I hit them before they had a chance to let off any bullets. I smacked the gun of the guard closest to me with my claws, snapping it in two. He looked at me in horror. "Nighty night," I said, hitting him in the back of his head. He fell to the ground, out cold. The rest of the guards were made quick work of by the rest of our group. Remembering something, I turned to the hawk girl who had pointed out the cameras. "Hey, I can try to knock them out, but I'll need you to point them out to me." She nodded. "There's one over there, and a couple others over there," She said, pointing. "I'll keep looking. If I see one, I'll tell you, ok?" I mumbled a barely audible "K, thanks." It had just struck me how cute she was.

Wishing I had some fur on my head to cover my blushing cheeks, I stuck my fingertips to the wall. I had read in some Science book that tiny hairs on the ends of a gecko's fingers allowed it to climb. Hoping I was right, I closed my eyes and jumped, planting my feet on the wall. After a few seconds of not falling on my tail, I opened my eyes. I had stuck! Hesitantly, I pulled a hand off the wall, extending it higher. After making sure it would hold, I did the same thing with my other hand and my two feet. After a few yards, I felt that I had gotten some control over the movements. I crawled along the wall towards the first camera. It had focused on me, it's lens shining. I slammed my left hand into it, sighing at the satisfying crunch. One down, two or more to go.

[Aeges_Ateri]

~Velox Phasma~

I did apologize to the dinosaur personage, who turned out to be named Kruz. Really I wasn't sorry, but the faster I started listening to him and acting at least half-polite, the faster he would leave me alone. I followed as the cat-like hybrid herself tried jumping the boxes and somehow despite her humanoid shape easily fit into a vent, something I know I couldn't have done even with my slim build. She disappeared now, and realized now that the door I had briefly seen would be indefinitely locked. The cat-girl was most likely on the other side of the door, unlocking it now. I waited.

The cat hybrid did open the door, but allowed some guards in. Crap. The sloth/gecko anihuman burst into action before anyone else though, and was upon them within seconds. They raised their guns, but in vain, and she stopped any bullets from even flying. The others joined, besides me of course I just watched the spectacle. She continued by latching to a nearby wall, and beginning to smash some of the cameras the girl who had sighted them pointed out to her. Clearly they didn't like being observed.

Thinking more rationally I dismissed the thoughts on the cameras, and rather looked for an exit. The door still gaped wide open, and I slowly walked to answer its maw. Closing the door behind me, though leaving it unlocked, I continued on. Shooting cameras with spines as I went softly as I could through the hollow metallic corridors and walkways. There had to be an exit here somewhere...

[Beach Boy]

Joe (changing cheetah hybrid)

I was going to die? And if not, I would go insane? I swayed my tail into my view. I was a freak, my Mom… My lord, my mom!!!!! She must think I’m died, but did these freaks lied? Did they cover my disappearance up with suicide case? I was so worried my mind went off again. This experiment must turn my mind into a cheetah’s time to time. But why did they experiment on me?

My animal mind smelled other animals, some which might be good to hunt and feast on. And the scariest part was, I didn’t cared if it was the animal hybrids that I was with earlier, except for that cat girl. I dashed out of the room, on all fours and mad dash in the hall.

Would I act like this if I ever ran into my mother and little brother?

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Er.... Aeges, Tsarveil's a guy....

[Aeges_Ateri]

DOH! X_X Extreme Insult I'm sorry Opaque! I'll change it within due time...

[Krystalline Kabutops]

'tis ok, no harm done.

[eevee-shayna]

*quotes Aeges_Ateri "layziness is bliss"* JK
lol at Opaque Onigoori climbing up walls. "gecko man, gecko man. does whatever a gecko can, climbs a wall, any size. catches bad guys just like flies. tune in lets see the gecko man..."

IC: Though I felt weak, I could feel my body begining to ajust to my new DNA. As it ajusted it grew slightly stronger and i became aware that i would be able to leave the room without being carried out.

I looked at the mouse girl with sisterly affection. Athough she was a mouse and I a cat, I couldn't find it in me to want to hunt her. Maybe because of my love for animals, maybe because of my sisterly affection for her. Or maybe because i was a vegitarian as a human (I could never bring myself to eat meat while helpless animals stood all around me locked behind cages). I fully intended to be a vegitarian in my new form, depote my animal cravings.

[Amethyst Flygon]

Rosalynd (Bat / Mouse):

It appeared that everyone else was attempting to escape, but their attempts were getting nowhere. There must be some logical way to organize ourselves. Without some kind of plan, we would probably become seperated and get recaptured, one by one.

Then, I noticed that one of the guards was still conscious. He pulled out what looked like a walkie-talkie. Realizing that he was probably calling for back up, I snatched it away and threw it against the wall. It hit with a crunch.

Maybe it would be a good idea to round up the guards to prevent them from getting reinforcements. The situation would turn desperate if we were surrounded. We could also question them once they wake up.

"Hey everyone!" I called. "I think we should tie up the knocked out guards and interrogate them!"

OOC:

Unfortunately, I have finals this week and may be unable to post as often as I like. If I don't post for more than two days, I give permission for someone to temporarily take responsiblity of my character. Only a little more than a week until summer break for me!

[Beach Boy]

Joe

I dashed into the hallway, the anihmen’s scent was getting close. One more right turn and I’ll be on them. When I made that turn I slip on my feet and skidded into a pile of junk, knocking me back into my human mind.

There, watching me, where those guys I meet in that lab. The dino-spike kid notice, “I was wondering where you went,�

“(So is my mother,)� I thought. I was filled with worry. I just couldn’t hold a straight face, I think the weird fox/fish noticed, but I didn’t care. My mother probably thinks I’m dead, and if I go see her, I might go insane on her. What am I going to do.

Then falcon girl spoke, "We're after the creep that did this to us, you in?"

I thounght long and then answered with a yes. This creep robbed me of my mother, my life, and my humanity; so I'll majke him regret it for the rest of his sad, sick life.

[Aeges_Ateri]

~Aetas Vicissitudo~

The professor was no doubt the mastermind behind this entire thing continued trying to stall me. Various thugs got in my path and I continued to brutally massacre them, blood flying. Despite the fact I knew they were human, it wasn't my problem they got themselves in on this plan. Exploration in this massive facility was futile, and despite how many cameras I smashed and how many walkways I traversed I found nothing. No exit, no hope. Feeling as I had been circling for hours I finally decided to go up in a glass elevator as I had explored everything on this level.

As I reached the top of the elevator I felt the impulse to precede with caution. My voice gurgled and I felt a screech let loose from my mouth, something seeming unfitting to my body. I realized now from various science lessons that I, like a bat, was using echolocation. I felt and heard the sound bounce off multiple objects, ones that were alive. Up ahead there were tons of living things, and I wondered what they were. More experiments or thugs? Or even something else...
~

OOC: So everyone knows for future reference, all the experiments are currently on the second level of the facility. Though there are levels above the second they are closed off, as well as the basement.

~Professor Neco~

Upon reaching the next level and traversing somewhat farther into it, I managed to catch the shriek of echolocation. It would be inaudible to any other ears but that of a bat, and I knew that either Aetas or Rosalynd had to be on this level. They were the only experiments besides myself that wielded this power. Likely there would be other experiments accompanying the one who had shrieked, unless Aetas had not found the others yet. Despite the fact that it would happen eventually, I wasn't quite ready for the experiments to escape the facility yet. Using my own crude echolocation, I managed to sense several objects around the next bend. Instead of continuing I stayed to sit and wait.
~

OOC: Neco is not to be beaten easily, especially by fledgling anihumans, and in combat has more prowess than any of the experiments. Besides he has technology at his disposal.

[eevee-shayna]

~Yashanecco~~~Cat-girl~

I had been resting for a while and I could feel my energy returning to me. From the sound of the others’ conversations it was clear they wanted revenge on the person who had done this to us.

Personally, I didn’t care. First of all, killing him wouldn’t bring us back to our former selves. We had new DNA and you can’t remove it, so basically we’d be stuck as mutants. Secondly, I didn’t mind being a mutant. It’s true that I don’t have any family to go to, nor any true friends. Though some of the others did, leaving them in a sticky situation. I myself love animals, hence working at a zoo, and didn’t mind being part one, or being around the other animal/humans. Then again, humans are technically animals, too. Well, I guess I didn’t mind the change, and seeing how there wasn’t much I could do about it, I decided to get used to it. I was never the type of person to hold a grudge, and I always try to stay optimistic about things.

However, I did want to escape. “Mouse girl, want to find a way out?� she seemed to nod. I realized that her and me weren’t exactly strong, so I said into the room “does anyone want to come with us to find a way out of here?�

[Amethyst Flygon]

Rosalynd Moss(Bat/Mouse):

When Yashanecco asked me if I wanted to escape, I realized that I hadn't told her my name yet. It was pretty rude to know someone's name and not tell them yours. "Yes, I would like to get out. I'm sorry that I haven't told you my name yet, it's Rosalynd Moss. You can call me Rose."

Everyone else seemed to be in a group and were setting of to explore. Another person, feline in appearance, streaked out of nowhere and joined us. He was really fast and had hair of various shades(looks like I'll never see color again). He must have been given cheetah DNA. He joined us and seemed determined to take whoever did this down.

"How will we recognize the scientist when we find him?" I asked. "It's not exactly like he will have a badge declaring him an insane mad man. Even if we found him, he probably has some tricks up his sleeves incase of a situation like this. He, or possibly she, will not go down without a fight."

Cheetah-boy answered, "What else can we do right now; we've been wronged and we will take revenge." I didn't find this answer very useful, but it seemed to be the general mood.

All of a sudden, I heard a large screech like nothing I had ever heard before. Some how, I knew it was around the bend, but it sounded like it was right next to me. "Did you guys hear that?" I asked.

"Hear what?" they all answered. It seemed that I was the only one that heard it, perhaps it was some kind of high frequency sound. My batty side could have probably picked up something like that. Looks like I'm not he only one that was spliced with a bat. Also, whatever was back there smelled strongly. I recognized the scent from the knocked out guards. It was the scent of blood.

"Guys, I think some thing is back there and I think it's part bat. Let's hope it's on our side because, whatever it is, it reeks of human blood." This seemed to alarm the others, and cheetah-boy's eyes took an almost animal glint to them at the smell.

Considering that what ever it was would pick up on echolocation, I decided to give it a shot. My throat felt raw, but I blasted off an enormous screech. No one else reacted, so I knew I had reached the right pitch. I could sense somthing ahead of us and the thing that had let out the shriek. Whatever it was, it would now know that we were mutants just like it.

OOC:

I would like to add that this seems to be moving along awfully slow. Are the rest of you studying for finals as well? I hope this speeds up soon.

[eevee-shayna]

yeah, this has been moving slowly, and finals are about now. mine don't start for a few more weeks, but i'm guessing everyone else has them now.

IC: Despite having no feeling of revenge, I felt it was better to follow them and get somewhere besides staying in this one room.

"Alright, lets go. Anyone who wants to leave this room follow us." I said, then cheetah-boy, Rose, and I began to leave the room. I noticed Rose take one of the bodygaurd's walky-talkies. We walked into the hallway, which at our point was deserted.

"Which way did you hear the sound from?" I asked Rose.

[Aeges_Ateri]

~Velox Phasma~

Upon leaving the room, others came too. The cheetah had been gone quite a while, and I found him rushing down the hallways. Not my idea of "stealthy". Though I did notice the worry on his face as he slowed down, and looked at me as if I was some freak? Why, we were all in the same boat here. All of us hybrids, missing families in some cases, or other things. Still was there something he was facing that wasn't going on in any of the others here? Brooding on this, I silently stalked away from the rest of the group.

No longer able to hear the metallicy pit-a-pat of the others' feet behind me, I slowed down and stopped trying to lose them. It was much easier to think when I wasn't watching everyone else trying to think, and getting their emotions mixed into mine. Besides if I found an exit I would go back and tell them wouldn't I? I hoped I hadn't grown that nasty yet.

Traversing the long walks awhile, and going past doors, all locked of course. There was it seemed, no exit. Not a ray of hope in this god forsaken place. Now though there was something new, a waft of a strong smell. Blood. Strange, why would there be blood here? I would expect the other anihumans to be more squeamish when it came to drawing blood of guards, as the Gecko when he took down some forcefully only knocked them out. The smell drew quite close and I slowed down significantly as I realized it was just around the next bend.

[Beach Boy]

Joe (Cheetah)

I walk near the cat girl, see seems very cute to me, maybe because we were both felines. We walk down in the hallway. I regretted the revenge thing I said, I think I made Cat Girl a bit uneasy with me. I just got enough courage to talk to her, “Umm… hi.�

She tilted her head in my direction, “Hello,�

Kay don’t loose control, I thought to myself than I talk again, “Emm… What was your life before this loco experimented weird thing?� Smooth question, Joe.

“I worked at a Zoo, animals are my life.� The girl replied.

“Cool, that’s cool.� Another smooth line that went out of my lips, then the Husky-Dog-Boy began to eyeballing me.

Great, I just hope everyone has good self control, otherwise we going to half friends as dinners.

[Aeges_Ateri]

~Professor Neco~

Rather than even think of rounding the next bend, I instead quickly went to the security room on this floor. As I placed my own personal keycard in the door lock, a satisfying click, and the flash of a green light told me I was in. The guards in this room had already left, presumably to attempt to deal with the "mutants". The closer I got to the dozens, and dozens of screens the more surprised I was. Out of the thirty or so cameras that were all lined up on this one, only five remained. The rest of the screens were black as black goes, and as I watched a lionfish spine hissed through the air and punctured one of the five cameras. Flash, then black. I could hardly see anything else, but I laughed as I eyed one screen. Aetas stalked carefully down the hallway, and around the left and right bends I could see more mutants coming. They thought he was an enemy, I suppose the blood didn't help. I always knew that behind that pessimistic exterior there lurked some confidence. Not the least bit squeamish was he?

[Bamm]

Kruz - "DinoMan..."
----------------------

I watched as the new kid sniffed out something. The smell of blood? This kid was scaring me. I figured I'd better follow them. They were off to find the bloody culprit that "supposedly" let out the "humungous screech". I didn't think she was telling the truth, but I figured I'd follow just to keep them safe. This wasn't exactly the place for us to be wandering around.

"Hey, Wait Up!" I yelled as I began to run to catch up with them," Wait for me!" I caught up to them and began walking. Just as I caught my breath, I thought I saw something zoom out of a corridor behind me. I turned around quickly and noticed it zoom by again.

"Wait," I whispered to the others.

"What?" The cheetah man asked turning around, "What is it?"

"We're not alone."

The mouse/bat girl I heard the hot chick, "Yashasheika", (or whatever her name was) talking to was named Rose apparently. She began sniffing the air, her nose raised, so I began to do so too, but my nose wasn't strong enough. She began to whimper like a little mouse cornered by a cat and cuddled up to Yashapeka.

"Cheetah-man!" I said loudly, stepping toward the corrodor," keep them safe." I took two steps and dove out into the corridor, grabbing a batty-looking guy. We rolled around on the ground before he pushed me off of him and the Cheetah guy jumped in. He began to swipe at us like a mad man, so I began to block for The Cheetah. The hardened bone marrow on my arm and legs kept me from feeling anything, so as the guy swiped, with my marrow, I simply blocked it and threw his arm off of me. The hot cat girl began to scream at the top of her lungs:

"STOP FIGHTING! WE ARE ALL MUTANTS NOW! WHY ARE WE FIGHTING EACH OTHER?"
--------------------------

Yeah, well anyway... I just got through with exams Friday, and I have baseball still, so I might be a bit slow replying. I do as much as I can when I can though...

---(EDIT) I get Aetas and Velox - Aeges Ateri's two characters - mixed...Sorry everyone.
^_^ Bamm

[Amethyst Flygon]

OOC:

Bamm, I'm a little confused. Who is shooting the spines? Did you mean for Velox to join the fight instead of Joe? Welcome back to this topic, hope you don't have too much time drained by baseball.

Rosalynd(Bat/Mouse):

The scene errupted into chaos. A shadowy form was dashing around the room, almost too quick to be seen. Dino-guy leaped forward to protect us from this threat. He didn't seem to believe what I had said moments before, maybe he will believe me now.

The fight was fierce and both sides seemed intent on taking out the other. Yashanecco, realizing that we were fighting someone like us, cried out "Stop fighting! We are all mutants now! Why are we fighting each other?"

OOC:
Have to go now.

[Samchu]

Sam
~~~

I stayed behind to search for some clues but at the moment I hadn't found any. Truthfully, I needed to get out of this place and continue looking for my sister. Maybe I should have followed the others...
I walked out and quickly picked up the scent of blood. I figured that was where the others had gone to and chances are that lead to a way out, so i headed that way.
The smell, it was so strong! I grabbed my nose in disgust and cursed that God awful man who cursed me with this ability. Fortunately, i was close enough to make use of my developed ears so i knew exactly where i was heaing when the words, "Stop fighting! We are all mutants now! Why are we fighting each other?" rang through the hall.
I followed the sounds and saw that the dino-kid had picked a fight with a bat/boy who had not been with us.
"idiots," i muttered, "drawing the attention of the cat-girl who i assumed had done the shouting. I noticed a small Bat/Mouse girl in her arms. "Your lunch?"
The cat-girl glared at me. "I wouldn't do something like that."
"Will you be so sure when those instincts of yours take over?"
"The only instincts of mine that'll be taking over are the ones I'll use to scratch your face off if you come anywhere near me or my friend."
I laughed half-heartedly. "Calm down girly. I ain't gonna hurt no one, that's just my way of getting to know someone. I'm Sam by the way, Sam Taylor." i held my hand out to her and smiled as sweetly as I could.

[eevee-shayna]

EEP!! i'm being mean! *bows rapidly* sorry sorry sorry.
lol, i sound like a crazy cat woman.
ah, the famous words i never spoke repeated multiple times, JK

IC: i shook the one whom called himself "sam"'s hand and replied back "hi sam, i'm Yashanecco". no matter how bleak a situation i may be in, i always am polite. thats just me, i guess.

"and this is Rose." i said, pointing to the mouse girl in my arms. she waved meakly.

my mind went back to the situation at hand. "please stop fighting!" i said loudly, as i limped up to the two fighters and stood inbetween them. "people shouldn't fight, that's how wars are started." i said.

noticing the new person, i smiled freindly at him and said "by the way, i'm yashanecco." i wasn't aware of my complete mood change, but then again, i never was.

"maybe we could find a way out. and it doesn't have to be a door, we have new powers, after all." i thought aloud.

[Aeges_Ateri]

Umm... Bamm. I believe your confusing my characters, Aetas has bat wings, Velox has lionfish spines. Aetas does not have both. Velox would not fight with another mutant, unless it was Aetas, so if you are including him in the fight shooting towards Bamm and the others with him you need to reword it. And also you have mistaken Aetas for being hostile, while if he saw other mutants he might be suspicious he wouldn't attack on sight. Though if you meant Kruz started the fight Aetas would I suppose be inclined to defend himself but Velox would not join in, as you said someone shot spines from their hands which is Velox's signature ability compared to all the other hybrids. Whether it was just a misunderstanding or otherwise could you please clear it up for all of our sakes.

[Amethyst Flygon]

OOC:

Will you still accept a LSU? I have a friend that I mentioned this to, and he seems really interested in it. He has made a cheetah/chameleon character, but his mom won't let him post until summer break. Luckily, tomorrow is the last day of school in our area.

He would make a nice addition, and I think he could probably roleplay pretty well considering the number of RPG videogames he has played. For the explanation of his not posting, the two of us have agreed that it would be best if he just said that his character hasn't done anything of importance yet but has tagged along with the main group. The game has been going a little slow anyways.

As for me, I'm waiting until Bamm clarifies his post until I post in character again.

[Aeges_Ateri]

I will accept another LSU as spots here are basically unlimited to a certain extent. As long as the LSU can catch up to everyone else, and has a decent sign-up to post here, I will allow them.

[eevee-shayna]

Nobody seemed to know what to say, however nobody was making any atempts to help us escape. i was determined to help the group.

i walked away from the bunch, still limping painfully, and looked for a window. when i found one in the hallway we were in, i pressed my face against it to see where we were.

we seemed to be on the second level. not a bad jump, however with my condition i ewouldnm't be able to make it, and i don't know how anyone else felt about jumping from here.

there had to be a way to get to the first floor.

"exuse me, sir" i said to the new arival. "you've been exploring, right? do you know how we could get downstairs and is there a window?"

[Beach Boy]

Joe

I step near Yashanecco and said gently, "You are so wise, Yashan," I began to feel lightheaded but I still was falling for Yasha's kittie charm, "And I feel like that we should really-" then my head went super numb, like the time when my tail grown out,"- we should really take a nap." Then I just fainted on the ground.

(Author's note: Joe's cats ears are growing on his head while his human ears shrinks and disappears. This transformation is numbing Joe's brain.)

[Samchu]

Sam
~~~

I looked at the guy who had just collapsed. "Convenient..." i muttered. "Well, unlike him I figure we should get outta here." I picked up the fainted guys body and turned to the guys who had been fighting. "You coming?"
They all looked at me blankly so I sighed and turned back to Yashan. "What about you? Are you going to come?"
"Well I suppose it's better than staying here."
I nodded and started walking with Yashan beside me. i don't know if the others followed, I didn't bother to look.
"So what do you think made him pass out?" i asked.
She looked at him then replied, "looks like his ears are coming through. Maybe it's better he's unconcious."
I smirked. "How's your mouse friend?"
"Hey I have a name you know!" Rose yelled at me.
"Calm down Rose, I know you've got a name," i replied. "So how are you then?"
"Fine."
I laughed. "You bit my head off for fine? That's some attitude."
There was silence for a bity then Yashan asked, "do you have any idea where we're going?"
"Well there's a distinct blood trail and I'm trying to follow it. Someone - or something - caused it and maybe they know a way out."
Yashan, Rose and I talked for a bit and I found out why Yashan was taking such care of Rose, despite her animal instincts. I made some comment about trying not to bite yashan because of the whole dog-cat thing.
"What will you do when you get out?"
"The same thing I was doing before I ended up here."
"What was that?"
I stayed silent. I hadn't told anyone why i was the way I was before, but i felt like I could trust Yashan and to be honest, concidering the circumstances, making a friend seemed like a better idea than making a ton of enemies.
"I've been trying to find my sister. We were living together. I just went out for a little while and...she was gone. I don't know where and I don't know why but someone took away my sister and i swear to God I'll make them pay."
"How do you know someone took her?"
"My sister is blind. She couldn't have gone anywhere on her own."
Just then the guy i was carrying began to stir. it seemed safe to stop so I put him down and sat against one of the walls alone, ignoring the others in my own little world.

[Aeges_Ateri]

Plot Twist Time! Now that we have gone a while in, I decided to introduce the next aspect. There are other hostile, mindless hybrids that Prof. Neco created. Like our characters they have the same kind of abilities but only follow the orders they are ordered through a computer to do. Neco controls these hybrids and they were the other experiments I mentioned him wanting to "visit". They are by no means more powerful than us, and indefinitely weaker, but they all are in a rather futuristic kind of cyborg shell (besides some of their animal features) as they were meant to be hard to bring down. Their main disadvantage is that they are mindles and can only be controlled to a certain extent by Neco due to the computer chip he implanted in their brains. Feel free to include mindless hybrids in any other new posts.

Plot Twist Time! Now that we have gone a while in, I decided to introduce the next aspect. There are other hostile, mindless hybrids that Prof. Neco created. Like our characters they have the same kind of abilities but only follow the orders they are ordered through a computer to do. Neco controls these hybrids and they were the other experiments I mentioned him wanting to "visit". They are by no means more powerful than us, and indefinitely weaker, but they all are in a rather futuristic kind of cyborg shell (besides some of their animal features) as they were meant to be hard to bring down. Their main disadvantage is that they are mindles and can only be controlled to a certain extent by Neco due to the computer chip he implanted in their brains. Feel free to include mindless hybrids in any other new posts.

I thought something like this would happen. Not quite what I expected, but similar. Instead, I was expecting that Neco might have given animals human DNA but that they were found too wild to control. There is no rule in genetics that you can't add human DNA to animals, but most people think about animal DNA added to people. If you ever have an idea slump, feel free to steal this idea.

I am still waiting until Bamm returns to post in character. Right now the plot seems to be spiralling deeper and deeper into confusion.

(i'm back! i was out of state for a bit but my vacations over now)
if it gets too confusing step over the confusing parts and continue the story. what we need right now is a little solid ground to stand on.

btw, does anybody else want to get out of this building and on with the adventure, or are we stuck in dr neko's lab?

IC: The cheetah boy began to stir and finally awoke, looking more cat-ish then before. I became alittle more protective of Rose, not wanting her to get eaten by a wild cat. i seemed to be more of a demesticated cat and didn't have the same wild insticts.

the entire gang was in that hallway now, and we began to walk forward in the hall, not sure what was ahead of us.

we came across a glass elevater, and it smelled like one of us had been in it already. however, this was a way down to the first floor, where we could get out of this building.

"i think this could bring us to the first level, and maybe we could get out of this place." i proposed gentally. i awaited someones answer.

Even though my brain felt a bit numb, and I really wanted to see mom again, we couldn't leave this place yet, not matter how cute and trouble Yashan is, "We can't leave just yet, we need to have a plan. If we just walk out there, well just act out those X-men movies. All the norms will go to debate about us, considering us as equals or as menacing creations of the damn. And just think of the media, if they bust Bush's chops for making few decisions, then they'll blast us with nuclear bombs, they won't shut up about us for years and our families are probably going to be harassed senselessly!"


And I realize that we missing someone, but before I made else notice, nature called. I began to move my legs, to get ready for a mad dash, "Oh MAN! I need to go SUPER BAD!"

[Aeges_Ateri]

Eevee we will be getting out of this lab... eventually. Their is no obvious entrance on the first floor, more rather some kind of hidden entrance.

[eevee-shayna]

*grovel, grovel* PLEASE sombody post! *beg, beg*

IC: the group of animals/humans wordlessy trudged on and into an elevater we found. it was a big elevater, and somehow we all fit. i didn't know why nobody was talking, perhaps they were in shock still.

"it won't be that bad, living the rest of our lives as halfbreeds." i said, trying to make the group feel better. i had accepted the idea and it didn't bother me anymore.

once we were all in the elevater, we searched around for the bottons.

"over here" squeaked rose. she pressed the 'close door' botton, and then the 'level 1' botton. the elevater responded amediatly and we were soon on our way down. Finally the elevater came to a stop and the doors opened to reveal the first floor.

as a pack we emerged from the elevater and into the hall of the first floor. i then searched around for any windows. if there were any we would be able to brake through them and escape from this lab. in my mind, as long as we were outside we were free. i didn't like being trpped inside this building, it made me feel like a caged animal. i couldnt understand why they wanted 'revenge' on this mad scientist, it seemed to me that hunting him down would be part of his game that we were in. then again, maybe escaping was part of his game, too.

[Bamm]

Heh, I bet our characters feel like this --------->

Everyone marched unhappily into the elevator. Most were unhappy about their transformations. I was. The cat-girl, Yashanecca, seemed to enjoy being a half-cat. I thought about it. There was no way I could play football like this, but I didn't know for sure. I would completely rule the sport with my strength! I doubted my new parts would be hardly legal, though. Maybe If I got more skin put on my body? I opened my mouth and thought out loud, "I COULD PLAY WITH MY NEW PARTS!"

I looked up to find everyone looking at me as if I was crazy. I quickly got quiet. We soon arrived on the 1st floor. Yashanecca searched for any trace of an exit, so everyone else did the same. After a while of searching, it turned out that no one had found anything yet. I looked at the walls. They looked like concrete.

"Hey," I said to the bat, "Aetas. Do you think this wall is just concrete? Or do you think it's steel-inforced?"

I realized that he was still kinda sore about the brawl-in-the-hall thing. I backed up a couple yards and stood to ready myself. The young girl, Rose, realized what I was doing and handed me a round object she found on a table.

"Thanks," I muttered, then looked at Joe, "Do me a favor: say 'HUT' for me!"

Joe yelled hut between running back and forth and dancing. I ran as fast as I could, clutching the ball as if I was in a real game. I ran and shoulder charged the wall. After the impact I looked back at everyone, thumbs up. I managed to make a small crack, but I couldn't finish it because everything was fading into black. The last thing I felt was my body hitting the ground.

OOC:
I did say that I would reply as soon as Bamm did. I will, even though the fight still hasn't been cleared up. Looks like we all just stopped fight ing and got along. I'll post a current thing now and some catch-up later if you guys want me to.

IC: Rosalynd

We headed to the first floor in the hope that we would have a better chance of escaping from there. It was a sound idea and was something to try at least. We didn't seem to have any luck on this floor.

Suddenly, the cheetah-guy was moaning about the bathroom. He began to dash off at a high speed. "We saw one down the hall and to the left, remember!" I called after him. He was grateful when he returned.

In the elevator, I found the buttons and clicked the one for the first floor. Yashanecco said, "It won't be that bad, living the rest of our lives as halfbreeds." She didn't seem to understand that normal society wouldn't accept us, just like cheetah-boy had said earlier.

While the elevator was going down, I realized that only a few of us had introduced themselves. "Hey guys, maybe we should tell each other our names," I said. They all agreed and introduced themselves to each other.

With a ding, the elevator reached the floor. When we were getting out, Kruz suddenly declared, "I COULD PLAY WITH MY NEW PARTS!" Everyone including me looked at him oddly. Kruz doesn't seem like he thinks about what he is going to say.

Kruz looked like he had decided to knock down the wall. Considering that he had said he was a football player, I gave him a spherical clock I found on a table. He thanked me and told Joe to call out hut.

Kruz charged into the wall like it was a rival player. He made a small crack and seemed proud of himself. Then, he fell over like he had hit his head to hard. "Just great," I heard someone mutter, "first Joe and now Kruz." It looked like Kruz was down for the count.

It seemed that brute force wouldn't work very well. I began to think about what the exit of a top secret facility would look like. It wouldn't be obvious, and it would be hard to find. Maybe my new echolocation would help? Aetes was also a bat, he could probably echolocate as well.

"Hey, Aetes," I called. "Yeah?" he replied. "Maybe we can use echolocation to find an exit to this place." "Sure," he agreed.

Crowding into a glass elevator was definitely my idea of escaping. Not. Reluctantly I joined the others in the Willy-Wonka rip-off, and slowly with the push of several buttons the elevator descended to the first floor.

Upon reaching the first level Kruz decided that ramming into the wall was a great idea! Horrible plan. With him out for the count, brute force was definitely not an option. When everyone had their backs turned discussing other possible methods of leaving, I slowly exited the room and quickly turned the corner and stood perfectly still. No one was looking for me it seemed. I continued to slowly tip-toe down the metal walk. I hadn't expected stealth to be this easy.

After moving farther and farther away, I suddenly with my new ears managed to pick up a strange sound. To my right, on what seemed to be a metal wall, I heard a grating sound, like metal scraping against rock. Closing in on the wall as if I were a predator and prey, I softly pressed my ear to the cold metal. I tapped it lightly with an extended claw, and felt the resonating vibrations. It was too thin. Stepping back a couple steps I pushed with as much strength as I could muster and watched the door revolve to reveal a crack of fresh air. How cliche could you be? Revolving hidden doors? Give me a break!

It was breezy outside and the wind floated inwards, suddenly tainting the previously warm and stale air with its cold rush. With a sigh I squeezed through the crack, and pushed the swinging door shut behind me. The wind buffetted me as I stepped into the crisp air outside. It was morning, and the sun was just coming up over the clouds. Suddenly I was hit by exhaustion of the previous waking hours, and with the wind giving full chorus to a gentle lullaby, I collapsed against the laboratory's outer wall. The outside covered in rock, it wasn't exactly comfortable. Sleeeeeep.... the wind soothed. Without hesitation or reluctance I obeyed its call.

OOC: I realized I hadn't posted in a while, I hit some of those time periods where I just can't seem to post at all. Like an extensive writer's block. Finally managed to get a post out! Yay!

I felt great relief after Rosalynd told me where the restroom was and I felt a great disappointment after Kruz tried to go mono y mono with the wall. I acted out like one those annoy announcers at football games, "And Kruz, The Dyno Dino, was stop dead in his tracks after trying to tackle Con Gret, The Pirsion Wall."

Then my senses went berserk, like a rival of mine was standign right infront of me. I slowly walk away into a hallway, saying to myself, "If I see any blue hedgehogs or humans with monkey tails, then I'll know that this guy is totally whack."

Then my senses were burning red hot when I enter what appeared to be a useless machine factory. I quickly dashed around the rusty robotics, like I knew my opponent was atop of me. I heard the whistling of rockets behind me but I rolled out of the way and I sharply turned around to see my opponent, an anthro-cheetah that look like he was assimilated by the Borg from Star Trek. I knew I had a fight on my hands, I just chuckled and said, “Good thing I already gone, otherwise I would be panicing.” The Cheet-borg growled its teeth at me and charge at me.
