... Must bear the crown.
(( i should use my other characters more but gosh i'm just really in a jasmine mood ))
Jasmine snarled as the whitecoats approached her cage, backing away from the cage door. The whitecoat passed by her and opened the cage to her right. The miserable creature retrieved made no attempt to get away, and let itself be taken into another side room. They wouldn't stick a needle in me so easily, Jasmine thought bitterly. I'd make a fuss. They'd need their little remote control to get me to cooperate. So she told herself. But in truth, when the whitecoat returned some time later and came to her cage, she didn't struggle. Struggle meant punishment. And punishment? Chances are it'd mean death.
Not that I'm not going to die anyways, she laughed to herself as the test came into view: a large container, filled with dark water. She'd heard about this before - she'd have to swim and find the hidden platform to avoid drowning. She'd never done anything like this. She'd never even swum before. Oh well, she sighed inwardly. I'll just have to see if I get lucky. Suddenly, she spotted another animal across the pool also being lowered into the water. They're going to make us compete. I'm sure of it. She could see it now; the platform would only be large enough for one of them. One of them would have to die.
At least, she told herself that.

(heck I'm just gonna throw Tod in this)
~Tod~
He was being lowered slowly into the mysterious dark blue water, 'must be really deep' Tod thought. He never swam before but he has to learn if this is a fight for survival due to seeing the rat acrosş from him being lowered in the same pool as him. 'competition to see who will die or not... Typical for the humans to want to learn this ability in intelligence' He thought chuckling darkly believing he will survive this small task.

(( you know we can all join, it's fine either way! ^^ but like i said in the other thread, lewis, i'm not going to be on AS often during the school week but... ))
Her paws hit the water, and suddenly Jasmine was submerged. She felt a flare of panic, but forced it down as she burst through the surface of the still, cold water. She paddled, and realized it wasn't too much of a struggle to keep her head above the surface. But I won't be able to swim forever, she reminded herself. Find the platform. If it means that other rat has to die? So be it.
She began to swim around the pool, keeping a sharp eye on the other animal as she did so. Should I confront them? she thought. After a moment, she decided, No. Keep it impersonal. Don't realize they're someone with a brain too. Yet she kept thinking, and realized, But who will miss them if they die? What does it matter? We're all just pawns. Mind changed (to some part of her's dismay), she turned and swam towards the other creature, every nerve on edge in case it tried to attack her.

(ah I see ;v; ) ~Tod~ The water finally hit his paws and when that happened Tod immediately stood upright in a panic of the cold liquid. Then the rest of him finally was submerged. Tod paddled with ease like it was natural but mostly his long neck was the thing keeping him above the water. He tried looking around for the platform but couldn't see it anywhere. 'where is that platform?.... I wonder if I should meet with the other creature competing and we can work out a deal.' Tod though looking around for the rat he saw paddling around in the same pool. then he saw the rat from a couple inches away from him but it looked like the rat was coming towards him. 'oh saves me the trouble then~' Tod though smugly. (hhh here is Tod's information ;v; ratsinalab.proboards.com/thread/996/characters-ye he's on the bottom of the page .O.)

Jasmine approached the other creature carefully, stopping a few tail-lengths away. "Hey," she called. "You." She didn't say anymore, just waited to see what the ferret would do. If worse came to worse, she'd fight the thing, even if it was bigger and stronger than her. She wouldn't flee. I'd probably die, but not before I'd give it some scars to remember me by, she thought bitterly before pushing those thoughts away. Right now, she would try to work something out. Something where I live.

~Tod~
Tod did a polite grin to the rat seeing she was staying a few inches or so away from him, 'obviously being on the safe side... Oh rats amuse me, but now's not the time I gotta gain her trust or something before I drown in here' He thought spitting out some water he accidentally swallowed then finally spoke, "Hmm? Oh hey! I suppose your the one I'm competing against?" Tod said still grinning but struggling to paddle now as his legs already felt tired. 'Oh my I really need to have more experiments that involve swimming.' Tod thought mentally slapping himself to keep swimming and stay polite to the rat.

(( oh gosh so sorry i took so long to reply i got really busy ahh sorry ))
Jasmine flicked her ears, partly to get water droplets off of them, and partly as some kind of gesture of disdain. "I would think so. You know what that means, right?" Her dark eyes narrowed. "At least one of us is most likely going to die." She paused to let the ferret think about that for a moment, then continued, "So here's the thing. Do you want just go ahead and get rid of the competition now and maybe survive, or do you want to work together to ensure one of us lives and then start killing?" She stared, resolute, at the other animal. "Just want your... opinion."

(aaa it's okay ! I understand if life's making you really busy ;w; )
~Tod~
Tod took in what the rat said thinking, 'hm..... Should I work with her and survive together or dare to try and kill her to survive on my own..?' He paddled up to the rat closer and said, "I think we should work together instead of being selfish monsters to survive one petty compition." he waited for the rat's answer back to his decision.

Jasmine nodded wordlessly before looking around. "Just swim. Hope we bump into the thing before we get too tired to swim any more." A thought came to her. "If one of us starts tiring and we haven't found it yet, the other helps them. Okay?" She glanced back at the ferret as she began to swim in a random direction. "We'll worry about finishing the test once we find the platform."

~Tod~
He nodded to himself and swam a different direction as the female rat and he stopped abruptly, "Hey what is your name?" Tod slightly shouted at the rat hoping she at least heard him not too caught up in finding the platform.

Jasmine just heard the question over the soft sloshing of the water around and the roaring of blood in her ears, and turned her head to look at the ferret. "Why do you want to know?" she shouted back.
