Do or Die ((open))

[[SUBJECT=59]]

// I'm sorry that I don't have a ref for this character yet, he was just thought up and under development;I'd like him to start off here! \\

A little brown rat sat in one of the cages,its figure petite and small.The white splotches on him stood out in the sea of dark tan like clouds in the blue.He was small for a male like him.
He scratched at the thick clear plastic of his confinement but of course he couldn't get through.A little sigh escaped him as he thought of what the pale rat-Blotch?...No,no.Blank-had promised to him.A precious thing almost every creature in the lab wished for-freedom.A rare thing to come across,yes,but it was so close.It's not like he had a choice to join Blank's side;His dumb brute brother decided it would be good if Blank had all the rats he knew or came across be on the white rodent's side.The rat's little pink ears flattened as he shook his head,as if it could remove the memories of his neglect.Ah,yes.His previous owners.
Mostly all he could remember was the hot tongues of the fire that scorched most of his left ear off.
That was most of his childhood.
Sometimes he thinks that it is better to be here rather than his previous home.

//*sadly bumps*

[Animus]

(Hope it's not too late to say hi)
Animus raised his head from his spot curled into the bedding on the floor of his cage. He had been watching the other rat pace from the other side of the glass for quite a while, but was much too tired from his strength triles to approach the other male. He did, however, take notice when he began to scratch at the walls.
"You're looking in the wrong place kid." He called from his own cage.

(No, you're fine! But I was starting to think this site was dead-!)
The small rodent emitted a quiet noise of surprise and turned to where the voice sounded. Ears laid flat, he had to squint to make out the fuzzy shape of the other buck.
"What-who said that?" He said,tattered ears perking back up to hear him better. He hoped whoever this was wasn't hostile.

[Animus]

(It is largely but I missed it ;-
Animus groaned in exhaustion as he pulled himself into a standing position. "That'd be me." He called, slowly stretching his tired limbs. "Name's Animus. And if you're looking for a way out, you're looking in the wrong place."

[[SUBJECT=59]]

(True, I was beginning to miss it as well unu)

The rat paused a second, only stirring to respond. "...My name's Jensen," He said after short hesitation, almost like he had forgotten his name. "But what do you mean I'm looking the wrong way?" He squinted harder to seek detail in this "Animus" buck's face.

(I hope you don't mind me hopping in! Along with you, I desperately want to try to get the forum active again.)

[Noire]
The black doe grumbled, turning over in her small pen. "Would you guys mind keeping it down? Some people actually need some sleep." Noire stated, twitching her whiskers. The hairless rat rubbed her temples, closing her brown eyes once more in attempts of a peaceful slumber.

[[SUBJECT=59]]

((No, it's fine!:0))

Jensen jumped. "What? Who said that?" He squeaked before realizing what the hairless rodent had said,quieting down immediately, whiskers twitching with embarrassment. "Sorry," The timid rat whispered. He awkwardly shuffled, unsure of what to do.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

[Noire]
Stretching her limbs, Noire sighed. "Nevermind. I haven't slept in eight hours, and a bit of rest won't benifit me at all. Please, continue your conversation." she stated, raising herself onto her haunches to peer into the other cages.

[[SUBJECT=59]]

(I'm not sure if Animus' rper is coming back soon :x)
"If you say so," Jensen continued to speak in little more than a loud murmur. Craning his head back towards Animus, he looked to the other buck, glancing at Noire nervously once or twice.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

(I can stop after this if you'd like :') )

[Noire]
Her ears swiveling forward, she quietly tagged along with their faulting conversation. Noire took a moment to lick her paws, swiping them over the smooth skin on her forehead.

(Short :'0)

[[SUBJECT=59]]

( omg i'm so sorry i was gone qvq school got me )
For several minutes, he sat in an uncomfortable silence. Turning back to the doe, Jensen cleared his throat and said, "Have any conversation starters...?" He forced a nervous smile.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

(Haha, it's alright!)

[Noire]
"Well, I did hear a cheesy joke once. Would you like me to repeat it?" She proposed, laughing at her own rodent pun.

[[SUBJECT=59]]

Jensen paused for a second, a distant look on his face until it dawned on him a second later. "Oh," He smiled, tension easing. He thought for a second, before saying, "I have one I've saved for a bit. Where do hamsters come from?" He said, a stupid grin on his face.

[Єᴄʜᴏ [384]]

[Noire]
"Hmm." she mumbled, thinking quietly to herself. "I'm not sure. Where do hamsters come from?" Noire asked, tilting her head.
