Slippy's First Days {Open to all}

[Slippy]

Slippy turned and sped off, stumbling over himself as he rolled around a corner, sliding a bit as he went, squealing.

((I don't mind ^-^))

Echo ran off but she would have been alot faster, if the robotic leg didn't make her shoulder burn with pain. Echo screetched as she stumbled but got up and ran faster, as the rabid rats were about to bite off the tip of her tail. She ran after the others but stopped dead as the two rabid rats started attacking each other, and to Echo's horror, started eating each other. Echo hid behind Luna as she watched the pool of blood grow bigger from where the two insane rats once stood.

Luna----------------------------------
Luna froze in place and her jaw dropped in horror. She saw Echo hide behind her, Luna reached out to her and pulled her close, hiding her face from the horrific scene in front of them, realizing how young and vulnerable the doe was. "Hush, darling, it'll be alright, just don't look." her voice did nothing to betray how scared or disgusted she felt at what was going on, instead she almost sang, her voice soft and gentle like a nurturing mother's. She rested her paw against Echo's ear to try and block out the sound, not thinking whether or not this stranger would freak out over the contact as many would.
She glanced at Slippy. "Oh gosh, are you alright?!" she asked, concerned, but not letting go of Echo.

Yeolch----------------------------------
A large auburn rat paced back and forth from two turns. His path had branched off and he had no idea which way to go. One could lead to death, or hell, they both could for all he knew. He sighed and sat down, feeling defeated, when suddenly he heard nasty snarls and screams coming from one way. Without much thinking he darted down the path.
He stopped suddenly, spotting the group of rats and horrible mass of blood and gore that had come of the two large beasts that had been rats at one points.
"Oh my..." he muttered, suddenly out of breath.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

When Echo felt Luna put her paw on her, she relaxed a little. She was still feeling quite ill but then she heard a stranger's voice and whipped around. A large auburn rat was standing in the entrance to the path. "Hello, I'm Echo!" she said to the stranger. The greyish-brown doe walked up to the new rat and asked, "What is your name?"

[Slippy]

Slippy waddled back, terrified. "We need to keep going. Any strangers that feel like joining us, let 'em join us. The whitecoats will probably kill us or put us in Black-Boxes if we don't finish soon." He said, terrified.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

Echo tilted her head in a questioning gesture. "Black-Boxes?" she asked. She had never heard any rat say "Black-Boxes" before. Echo asked, "Aren't they the weird things with the bags inside them that the whitecoats refer to as 'trash cans'?

[Slippy]

"Nope. Black-Boxes are places the whitecoats put rats to punish them when they do bad things, or they don't like what they've done. Trying to escape, not completing the test, stuff like that. It puts you in the Black-Box. If you do something bad enough, you're put in a cage and the whitecoats rub stuff into your eyes, and into your fur, bleaching it or making it fall off completely. Someone from my Mob, back when I was a ratling- They had that happen, but the place was completely destroyed and he escaped in the mayhem." He said. "His eyes were blind and burned to the point of total blackness, like shadows- His pelt had pink bald spots and burn marks all over them from the torture they used to punish him." He shivered at the memory of the old rat.

[~stArstrUck~]

Luna looked at him sadly. "How awful..." she murmured. "Oh gosh i don't ever want that happening to any of you..." she added softly, glancing at all of them and then almost forgetting about the newcomer.

Yeolch was almost unable to take his gaze off the mutilated scene before him. He glanced around finally at the other rats, they all seemed kind enough. After a few moments a goofy grin broke out on his face. "Oh! hi! I'm Yeolch! Any idea what's going on here?


(random, but i was thinking about Yeolch possibly being Luna's mate at first but then i was wondering, slippy, if you'd maybe want to have slippy and luna together? i think it'd be cute x3 and i really want some plotting done with other people lol)

[Slippy]

((I ship Luna x Slippy so hard it's painful. xD))

Slippy sighed. "The poor old codger died of some disease not long after he joined us. Died in his sleep." He sighed softly. "Let's keep going!" He hissed before turning and starting down the pathway- Hopefully, the safe one.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

Echo gasped when Slippy explained what the black-boxes are. "How terrible!" she said. When Slippy turned into the path, Echo thought she smelled the faintest smell of poison, but just thought it was coming from the other way. Suddenly Echo chocked and colapsed, and she fought to get air in her lungs.

[Jasmine]

(( Hi, would anyone mind if I joined? I know there's already quite a few people here already, so I thought I should ask before jumping in... ))

[Slippy]

((It's fine with me, if it's fine with everyone else. ^-^))

Slippy whipped around in shock. "Echo?!" He squealed before suddenly he, too, collapsed, gasping and writhing as he struggled to breathe.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

Echo reached and grabbed Slippy's arm with one paw and Luna's leg in the other paw and flung them back down the path from where they had been away from the poison. Echo trembled furiously and painfully attempted to drag herself back towards the others.

[~stArstrUck~]

(alrighty, Slippy x3 i think they'd be cute <3 of course you can, Jasmine!)

Luna froze, sniffing the air carefully when suddenly she could feel her lungs starting to seize up, her eye widened and she gasped loudly trying to get oxygen and instead inhaling even more of the toxins. Her muscles suddenly felt horribly weak. She felt Echo push her forward, and she fell onto Slippy, feeling her fur quickly burn with embarrassment.

Yeolch tilted his head curiously but shrugged and went ahead and followed them. "Hey guys, i think i sme-" his sentence was cut off by a series of loud, deep coughs. His eyes watered up and he too suddenly felt weak. He saw Echo push Slippy and Luna to safety and he couldn't help but smile at the young one's good nature. His large body size didn't react quite as quickly to the toxins and he lunged for Echo, grabbing her by the scruff and running after the other two.

[Jasmine]

(( ok, thanks! im actually using one of my adoptables, but since no one adopted him, i decided to keep him for myself - im giving up one of my other characters, rain, because i never rp with her anymore... prob going to put her up for adoption soon if i can motivate myself to write a proper bio ))

Tao had fallen behind. Pausing to scent the air, swearing he smelled that familiar scent, he had stopped for too long and lost track of the group he had been tailing. Picking up his pace, he saw them turn into the path he knew wasn't safe. "No, no, no, no!" he cried, rushing forward, then halting at the start of the path. He stared in wide-eyed dismay at the rats struggling to breathe. "Poison!" As if they didn't know already. I should help, he thought. Taking a deep breath, he plunged into the toxic air and ran up to the large auburn brown rat. He gave him a look that he hoped showed he was trustworthy and made a motion to help the other carry Echo. He was trying not to breathe, but was quickly running out of breath.
