"Seriously, do you guys look for trouble? It wasn't that hard, the
humans aren't paying attention." Lucia laughed quietly and fumbled
around with the keys, holding one up to Kanti's cage and unlocking
it. She pulled the door open with a sigh of relief, and moved to
the next one, doing the same for the other three. "You owe me a new
sweatshirt." She joked as she stepped back. She'd torn her
sweatshirt a bit while changing.
Andromeda dashes out is the cage, going to Yukio’s side to inspect
him. “ Well I don’t know what the humans are doing now but they
were certainly on guard when they captured us,”
Andromeda growled. “ they had their eyes on us the second we
walked in. “ she said. Andromeda looked at Yukio, “ we
didn’t find Yukio’s mother,”, she said, exhaspersted.
Kat remained silent as the others talked. Yukio then glanced over
to Kat before looking back to Andromeda. "I'm sure she's
alright..." Yukio said gently, and looked at his paws.
(we'll see Yukio's mom again in the end of the rp by the way if
anyone was wondering)
Lucia yelped and fell back, laughing. "Alright, alright." She
laughed. She looks at Andromeda. "She's probably being held
somewhere nearby. If you guys get out, I can keep looking." She
offered.
Kanti dropped to the floor. "We'll find her," She sighed.
Someone very casually strolled into the room, a box in their hands.
They froze and looked at the group of animals, all out of their
cages.
"Oh my god." Lucia groaned. "Five minutes. That's all I ask for.
Five minutes, Jeffrey! Five. Minutes." She transformed into a
coyote and growled, the bow back on her ear. "Let's get out of
here."
Kanti walked up to the man and sniffed him. "He's unarmed. For
the most part."
She turned into a human and very calmly took the box, putting it on
the table. He was still frozen. "Sweetie, find a new job. You
aren't cut out for this. Go on. Scoot," Kanti whisked him away and
shut the door. She looked at the box.
(I really hope I'm allowed to do what I'm about to do, but it
makes sense, so I'll go with yes)
Kat looked over and blinked "What in the name of anything was
that!?" he asked in partial confusion. Yukio continued to hide
behind Andromeda in partial fear of the box.
"I've learned that some humans just are so afraid of us that they
just don't want to provoke us. I love them, honestly, it's so funny
how they just stare," Kanti grinned, opening the box. There were
four shots inside. "Hm. What could these-" She thought a bit
harder. "They're meant to keep us in our animal forms," She
mumbled.
Kat turned into a human, and walked over. "What kind of item would
do that?" he asked in a mixture of shock, and disgust. "I mean as
much as I hate my human form...I'd prefer to keep it..."
Andromeda didn’t take her eyes off the human, but her ears were
tilted towards the others, “ They want to take away our last way
of hiding in their stupid towns, “she growled.
"Rude." Lucia grumbled, sitting down and licking her side.
"Seriously. They treat us like animals, but I guess we are
animals? No sympathy for us, I guess. How would they like to be
locked in cages?" She complained.
"They already do that to their own kind. It's called prison, but
they only arrest people who do things that are considered
'wrong...'" he growled crossly. "I mean how are we considered wrong
by their eyes..." he said angrily.
"We're not as smart as them. Or, at least, that's what they
think..." Kanti trailed off, a realization coming over her. She
looked at her feet and sighed. "We can't save anyone in this zoo.
They were all given this shot," She sniffled, thinking of Shima and
the other polar bears.
