As the group approached the hole, Lewis lagged behind slightly to walk next to Tod. He was keenly aware of the ferret's claws clicking against the cold, hard floor, and the way his back rose and fell as he walked. Taking the initiative to break the ice (as no one else seemed to want to do so), Lewis asked, "So Tod, how did you come to be here? I'm assuming you escaped, of course, but from what...?"

(Hh ice skating is hard xD)
.:Emmet:.
He glanced back at Lewis and Tod hearing Lewis' question curious himself of how Tod escaped. Emmet shrugged as they kept walking and decided to walk alongside Echo and said lowly sure Lewis and Tod couldn't hear, "you feeling okay with this?"
~Tod~
Paying no attention to Emmet and the she rat he was speaking with he replied back to Lewis losing his smile finally, "Well seeing as how everyone suspects my kind to be sneaky and clever it is quite true, but mostly instead of cleverness I rely on just pure luck and intelligence of the mind." Tod stopped for a second to itch his ear then resumed walking with Lewis going on with his story, "I was in that dreaded needle room and kinda saw Emmet there and Jenn break out and followed what they did but I didn't follow them right off I just wondered for a bit exploring and enjoying my freedom then I found you bunch here and decide to just kinda follow" Tod regained his smile but more like a smug grin thinking it was pretty smart of Jenn to know how to open a cage door at an age like hers and just copy off of her own skill to escape himself.

"Luck," Lewis snickered. He didn't necessarily believe in luck; he thought that events were random and that he sometimes stumbled upon good and bad scenarios that are all equally likely. But sometimes, when he came across a particularly desired event... Well, maybe luck did exist. "Well, Luck hasn't done, hasn't done us much good, has it now?" Without waiting for an answer for what he hoped to be interpreted as a rhetorical question, Lewis decided to expand on himself in turn. "I was bailed out of my cage by another rat, can't remember her name. Don't quite know what happened to her, either... So just out of curiosity, what did the whitecoats end up doing to you? Tests? Surgeries?" Actually, it was more than just out of curiosity. Lewis wanted to analyze the ferret's story and compare it to his attitude and stature, matching key elements up and hopefully resulting in the rat's gained knowledge of Tod and how to replicate his cunning.

.:Emmet:.
*still just speaking with Echo*
~Tod~
Tod stopped grinning again deep in thought about telling his tests to Lewis or to not tell at all. Tod's tests usually did do some rather bad damage to his memory making him lose a lot of older test memories. Tod with all his honesty replied, "... I don't... Remember." He looked at Lewis showing he actually was serious about not remembering. "but.. Usually certain tests for me involve examining my intelligence, brain speed, and maybe my durability...? Like I said I barely remember heh" Tod laughed a little nervously feeling like an idiot for not being able to remember his tests and even surgeries let alone Tod actually remembering his own name.

He doesn't remember, but most of his testing has been on brain speed and intelligence. Hmm, probably ended up under a defective brain surgery. Or just a new variable in a new experiment. These things ran through Lewis's head as he contemplated Tod with the intrest of a scientist. "I'm tested on emotional intelligence. Empathy, to be exact." The rat glanced over Tod quickly, a thought suddenly occurring to him. Did ferrets even feel empathy? Well, they're master manipulators when they want to be, but do they actually feel and register /empathy/? He decided to keep the question to himself, as to not risk offending the other animal. "Basically they would just put others in dire situations or in pain and record my stress levels depending on... well... how deeply in pain the others are. It's certainly a little bit morbid," he chuckled, feeling a little sick. "But we all move on and forget. After all, we're just insignificant lab rats~"

Echo:
"No, I don't feel ok. Tod smells like darkness and Lewis smells like lies." She hissed. "Do you feel ok with this? Maybe we can trick them into leaving.." Echo asked Emmet, squeezing through the hole. She helped Emmet through and then stopped to rest in the roots of a shrub. She shivered, the weather was cold. She hoped she could just snuggle with someone. *Echo loves to snuggle c:* Her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
Teako:
Teako saw Echo fall asleep beside the bush. "We should rest here for now." He said, settling down next to Echo. He tucked his head under his wing and fell asleep.
(So short T-T. Ice skating isn't hard when you practice ^U^)

"Okay! I'm exhausted anyway.." she squeaked, squeezing out through the hole. Subject 1329 walked close to the wall, laying down near the edge of the bush. She curled up and set her head on her paws. I am tired.. she thought. The blood, that constantly leaked from her nose and mouth, had formed a growing puddle at her paws. She had decided to sleep farther away from the others so they would get blood all over themselves if they slept next to each other. It was alright if she did, but Subject 1329 would feel humiliated if she got blood on them, too.

(I went ice skating once but fell on the ice like an idiot 1364892 times xD)
.:Emmet:.
"hm that would be a nice plan..." Emmet muttered to himself but felt like it was wrong to think that way about two new people they just met. After hearing they were all gonna rest he thought for a second if he should lay by Echo's side or just lay by 1329. Emmet shrugged and layed by Echo putting his head down but glanced at Subject 1329 seeing her laying alone. "hey Jenn wanna lay by me?" Emmet asked 1329 before she fell asleep.
~Tod~
Seeing as how they decided to rest and stuff, Tod thought he might as well do so also. He walked next to the others but stopped glancing at Teako thinking he doesn't wanna cause another uproar. So he just walked farther away from them all and layed under a different bush but didn't close his eyes to sleep instead he kept his head up thinking about other things like what Lewis said about his tests being about empathy and such, 'empathy.... I don't I ever helped anybody else in a life and death situation. I guess I just thought about myself instead of others and let them get injured or die.' Tod thought to himself as he tore a blade of grass from the ground and started chewing it.

Lewis contemplated joining Tod, off on his own, but decided that it would be rather irrational and creeping assertive, as they had just met. Besides, he didn't even know Tod. Maybe Tod preferred to keep to himself. Lewis himself layed down a closer distance from the main group, still a little off to the side. Today had been... productive. He'd love to see just how far this one encounter with all these new beings would lead to.

.:Emmet:.
Emmet didn't wait for an answer from 1329 he grabbed her and layed her right by him not caring if her blood got on him. Emmet sighed feeling at ease afterwards then drifted off to sleep finally.
~Tod~
'god I'm so alive and awake I don't think I can rest. Damned, whitecoat shot giving me a ton of energy.' Tod thought frowning still chewing the blade of grass. He spit it out then got up starting to pace around the bush he was under contemplating if he should stay with the group or part ways early when his plan wasn't even set in motion.

Echo:
Echo's ears turned pink when Emmet layed next to her and then they turned back to normal as he pulled 1329 next to him. She opened one eye and watched the ferret pace around his bush. 'Well, Teako was right about him lying. If he was actually tired, he would have also rested.' she thought. She closed her eyes once more and drifted to sleep.
Teako:
*Dreaming about the inncident with the wild ferret*

.:Emmet:. *dreaming of a jumble between Echo, 1329, and Tod for some reason* ~Tod~ He itched at the small stitches on his forehead sitting back down grabbing a nearby dandelion and nibbling on the petals. Tod glanced over at the others gaining his usual mischievous grin. (oh god I forgot to throw Tod's information on this rp xD ratsinalab.proboards.com/thread/996/characters-ye?page=1#post-35083 also short post I've got no motivation right now)

Subject 1329 had squeaked a little in shock when Emmet had grabbed her, but she was alright now. She was nice and cuddled up next to Emmet, her nose tucked under her paws. She peeked over them at the ferret and Lewis, feeling bad that they were by themselves. They deserve some warmth towards them, she thought, Lewis had just lied because he was nervous, and Tod was just a ferret. "Are you two okay resting by your selves?" she yawned quietly to Tod and Lewis.
( Ha, yeah I stink at ice-skating. I went ice-skating with my friends once, and they could skate around the whole rink, and I was slowly shuffling along the edge. XD )

(heh I gave up on the ice skating in less than 5 minutes I was like, "CANT DO IT." and just went off into the building where I got my ice skating shoes xD)
.:Emmet:.
*still dreaming around*
~Tod~
He heard 1329's question and replied, "yes I feel fine alone.. Thank you for your concern though Jenn.." Tod politely smiled like usual and kept on nibbling at the dandelion he had.

Subject 1329 smiled, and shut her eyes. She soon slowly fell asleep. She dreamed of the whitecoats, taking her and her mother, putting them in seperate cages. Her mother crying, and Subject 1329 feeling deeply concerned, but she felt, for some horrible reason, glad. Glad to be rid of the feeling of responsibilty in helping her mother escape, perhaps? Or just to be rid of having to take care of her neurotic mother? Either way, she could never admit this truth to herself. Then, in her dream, she was eating blueberries next to her favorite guard dog, asking him a question, "Where is your mother?" The dog turned and looked at her, a whitecoat suddenly appearing behind the dog, grabbing him and lifting up a knife, the knife going down and down and down and . . . She jerked her head up to find the real world once again, looking down slowly, about to cry out bedore she realized it was her own nose/mouth blood. Subject 1329 sighed in relief, laying her head down, troubled by the nightmare she had just had, memories that always came back to haunt her.
