((So, new character! Went out on a limb and made Ishak the crow, don't know just how ok he is ^^; He's allowed to hop around outside, but it closely monitored, so no chance of escape, really))
Ishak looked up at the sky. It was clearer than usual. So close, but so far away. The young crow ruffled his feathers, the sunlight reflecting off the dark feathers. Suddenly curious, he hopped lightly over to a pipe, which happened to have a grate, like a storm drain, next to it. "Hellooo?" he cawed, his rough voice echoing through the metal pipe. "Any crazy rats or anything there?" Ishak ran his beak quickly though his feathers, trying to smooth down that one rebellious tuft of feathers that refused to stay flat. However, when he did so, another tuft sprang up on the top of his head, out of reach. Ishak ignored this and again tried to peer into the pipe, then the storm drain. "Helloooo?"

A beige rat who was drinking from a puddle heard the crow's call and turned her head. "Hello?" She had a sweet calming voice, or would have it she wasn't talking through a mouthful of rain water.

Ishak's head snapped up, and he looked around for the source of the sound. "Who said that?" he said loudly. "Where are you?" The crow hopped a few feet in the direction the voice had come from, then seemed to change his mind and backed up a few hops, shaking out his feathers to appear larger.

Serenity couldn't help but chuckle. " My name is Serenitybut you can call me Ren." She padded towards the feathered creature.
(Sorry Im watching a house get torn down.)

Ishak tensed. "How..." He gulped, then straightened up, trying to look as large as he could. "Mind explaining what you're doing out here?" Lowering his voice, he added, "You could get into a lot of trouble if the whitecoats find you! In fact, you're lucky they haven't found you yet!"

"Oh I'll be fine. The whitecoats know I'm here," Serenity rolled over in the puddle. "They set me out here for the test. They want to see if my memory adjustment works. I need to find my way back to the lab, but first they are letting me play in the grass." Serenity nibbled on an emerald stalk. "I guess I'm pretty lucky seeing as every week I'm allowed outside." She rubbed her long tail in the puddle then jumped as she made a realization. "Wait! Why are you out here? Are you a test victim? Or free?"

"Well lucky you," Ishak said, bobbing his head a few times. "Have a tracking tag, don't you? There's no way they'd just dump you out here without some way to make sure you don't wander off." In response to her question, the crow laughed racously and waved a wing in the rat's face. "You see this? My wing's clipped. Of course I'm a test subject!" Settling back down, he added, "Though I suppose my tests aren't so bad. They're mostly intelligence things, you know? Finding things hidden in boxes, remembering where something was buried, that sorta thing. Pretty easy if you ask me." Ishak looked up at the sky as a breeze blew past, ruffling his feathers again. "They toss me out here to just see how I go about. They've done it a couple times already."

" I see." Serenity wiped her whisker to clean it of bugs. "And yes I do have a chip. It's in my shoulder." She added patting her shoulder with her tail. (sorry for short posts im on my phone)

(( it's alright, it's just people who constantly have tiny posts that are like an average of three to five words long that drive me crazy -.- I'm on my iPod touch, actually ))
Ishak nodded, trying to get a closer look at Serenity's shoulder. "So what kinda tests do they do on you? Something about, uh, memory stuff?" He raised a wing to poke her. "C'mon, tell me about it."

" Impatient are we?" Serenity giggled. " Well for most they put me somewhere and tell me to go back to my cage. I of course prolong the time so I can stay out here. Others they put a ball in a cup shuffle it with other cups and I have to remember which cup the ball shis in " Serenity looked up at Ishak. " What tests do they do on you?"
(I know they piss me off too. Glad you understand)

(( ack sorry for taking so long too respond But yeah, those people, I just can't stand it. That and the RIDICULOUS CHARACTERS. Overpowered characters, Mary-sues, characters with abilities you have to get permission to have but they didn't, and characters that just aren't developed because the person's posts are just too freaking short! Sorry, got carried away there :/ ))
Ishak flapped his wings indignantly. Well, that and he just wanted to feel the air under his wings. "Well, like I said, it's stuff to test my intelligence and stuff. They first put me out here to see how I'd react to the outside after a life in the lab. They kept tossing me out here once in a while to see how I'd react differently each time. But at this point? It's all the same. Though I am glad to be out here!" The crow looked down at Serenitg, thinking. "Our tests are pretty similar, aren't they?"

((Ekk yes rant about mary-sues. They suck. Anyways, I really want to make Rust something of a sociopath eventually. A crow, huh? Sounds great, more original than all these bats we have flying around. xD ))
Rust was scampering through the dark, the beige hooded rat's dark eye's gleaming as he scampered through the air ducts, mind focused on finding a member of his colony, or perhaps Blank. To have a private conversation with the rat, he wanted so desperately to learn about these brother's and where their powers originated from. His stomach was growling, but he had lost track of where he was long ago, and he wanted so bad to be back in the City Market. To have fish, fruit and bread to his supply at any moment, the memory made his mouth water. His limp leg was trailing behind him, a wound he had suffered from the whitecoat's wrath. Damn those Whitecoats, He thought, and he halted, hearing voices coming from up ahead, where the pipe led out. With a jolt, he realized he could smell fresh air. "Hello?" He squeaked loudly, not caring if the whitecoat's could hear him. He could hear a scratchy voice, sounding oddly un-rat like, speaking about tests he was going through. Another sounded like a rat, a female he supposed. Where they outside? Why? "Who are you?" He demanded, standing on his hind leg's and placing a paw on the rim of the pipe.

"Yes, I guess they are," Serenity noticed the new rat. "Hello. I am Serenity. Might I ask who you are?"

"Rust." He was listening through the echo's of the pipe system, ear's pricked and sensitively catching onto each word they spoke. He tried to scramble up into the vertical pipe, bunching up his muscles but stopped, and fell flat on his face. Hissing in embarrassment that nobody would see, he shouted louder. "Are you outside?"

(( thanks! And yeah, we should make a thread or something talking about character problems and stuff :/ ))
Ishak turned towards the pipe quickly. "Who are you? Rust?" He looked down the pipe, staring straight at the rat. "Hi! I'm Ishak! Oh, and yeah, we're outside, duh!" The crow pondered for a moment. "Coming out here could be dangerous, you know. The whitecoats are probably keeping an eye on us, who knows what they could do?" Faint barking in the distance reminded him of something else. "The guard dogs. I forgot about them." Ishak narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you wanna come out here?"
