[Veah crawls through the vents leading to what seems to be a more secure spot, she peaks over and spots the "A block". She continues forward and finds another one of the rooms with a cool looking person]

Hello..?

[She whispers into the room from the vent]

- @hiding-little-star

[Athena glances around, confusion on his face as he tried to spot where the voice was coming from]

“H-Hello?? Who is that?? Where are you??”

[hiding-little-star]

[Veah giggles a little at the confusion]

"Hi!!! I'm Veah! I'm in the vents!"

[She pauses for a second]

"What's your name?]

[experimented-wildfires]

“I’m.. phoenix.. why are you in the vents? Is that safe?”

[They’d hesitate slightly for a second]

“I’m not familiar with anyone being in the vents before-“

[hiding-little-star]

"You have such a cool name!!! and I'm hiding from the mean man! and I haven't seen anyone else in the vents so I'm the only one!"

[experimented-wildfires]

“Oh.. yeah! That makes sense.. the mean man shouldn’t be able to get you if you stay up there..”

[ Phoenix nodded their head]

“Uh.. but.. i don’t think i understand why you are in the vents to start off with.. why is the mean man after you.. did you find a way to get out?”

[hiding-little-star]

[She nods as well]

"I'm looking for a friend! the man took them."

[experimented-wildfires]

“Oh- well i hope you find them!! I don’t think i have many friends to loose..”

[They’d fidget with their shirt slightly]

[hiding-little-star]

"I hope so too! I know I will!"

[she pauses a second]

"Do you have any friends?"

[experimented-wildfires]

“Uh.. not really! I don’t.. get to talk to very many people.. often.. so it’s nice to talk to you!”

[experimented-wildfires]

[out-of-the-tank]

[Fable would knock on Ulysses’s lab before not waiting for a reply to let himself in. Walking straight into the lab and glancing around]

“Themist? Where are you?”

@creation-by-a-god

[He stands from his desk quickly, legs wobbling a little]

O-oh- uh- m-mister Fable- sir-

[creation-by-a-god]

[Fable glances at him unimpressed at the stuttering]

“Stop that. Unless i need to fix it myself?”

[He would sigh and rub his head]

“Look. I’ve just come to give you some reports, since phoenix is your assigned subject, but i simply had a few tests i couldn’t wait to be actioned. Read through them.”

[out-of-the-tank]

[He flinches at the first part but nods quickly]

Yes- yes sir, i’ll get on it right away sir… i.. i want to see Phoenix first, to make sure it’s still… viable for the testing i had planned

[creation-by-a-god]

[He’d wave his hand dismissively]

“They are viable for any testing. You know how easily they’ll say yes anyways. Just go in there and do it. We aren’t here to make friends”

[out-of-the-tank]

I know, b-but.. if they were hurt, i need to know - you know they hide injuries-

[creation-by-a-god]

“You don’t think i know.. he is as stubborn as his father.”

[Fable mumbled the last part under his breath as he started to pick stuff up off the desk next to him]

“Okay.. maybe you do have a point. I’ll let you this once go through with this, but for future note. If they are hiding the injury then that is on them. I care about them just as much as you do, but sometimes the consequences of their own actions are needed”

[He’d pick up a empty glass bottle and raise it to the light slightly. Turning it around before looking back at Ulysses]

“Go on then. I expect the best from you.”

[out-of-the-tank]

Thank you sir-

[He limps past him, quickly going to Phoenix’s cell and opening the door]

Athena?

[experimented-wildfires]

[A small noise would escape the room before it seems to be silenced. Quiet again like nobody was there if you hadn’t heard the noise before.]

[out-of-the-tank]

Its me, its Uly

[He closes the door behind him, kneeling down]

Its okay, im here now

[experimented-wildfires]

[They’d peek slightly from their curled up position against the wall, before finally realising who it was. Using the wall, he pushed themselves up and stumbled over to the other, still not speaking as they crashed themselves into the other]

[out-of-the-tank]

[Uly wraps them up in his coat, holding them close]

Im so sorry, little fire.. i-i didnt know he was going to do tests, im so sorry i didnt stop him, im sorry..

[experimented-wildfires]

“It’s not.. your fault.. it wasn’t.. bad bad this time..”

[They’d fall quiet for a second]

“Just.. bad..”

[out-of-the-tank]

Oh little one..

[He holds them slightly tighter]

Does anything hurt? Or are you too cold- or hungry- or anything?

[experimented-wildfires]

“It’s cold. He.. He wanted to see how long i could.. go.. i did good.. he said i went for longer than last time..”

[out-of-the-tank]

[He wraps them up in more of his coat, trying to warm him up]

You… you did so good buddy.. you’re very brave and im proud of you

[experimented-wildfires]

[He’d nod his head]

“I don’t feel like it.. brave.. ‘m not that brave”

[out-of-the-tank]

You are.. you’re braver than i am

[He pats their head]

Let’s get you warmed up, hm?

[experimented-wildfires]

[They’d nod their head slightly]

“warm.. yeah.. are you okay?”

[out-of-the-tank]

Mhm, im a-okay

[He keeps them close to his side, going to her bed setup and wrapping them up in their blankets]

You’ll warm up soon

[experimented-wildfires]

“Thank you..”

[He’d mumble softly]

“I know you.. are busy.. so i try to stay out of trouble…”

[out-of-the-tank]

I do get busy.. but im gonna try and make more time for you

[Uly holds her close, trying to keep him warm]

[experimented-wildfires]

“Don’t have too, i don’t know what goes on out there but,, ‘m okay on my own if i gotta be,,”

[Athena pushes themselves closer, happy to finally be warm in such a cold room]

[out-of-the-tank]

I know.. but i dont like leaving you alone, i miss you too much

[experimented-wildfires]

“Miss you too..”

[out-of-the-tank]

[Uly sits on the floor, holding Athena in his lap]

Yknow, you’ve probably earned some time in the playroom after all these tests.. want me to ask about it later?

[experimented-wildfires]

“You know he’ll say no. He always says no. That’s not for us. We aren’t allowed in the playroom..”

[Athena fidgeted with their hand slightly]

“I’m not allowed to leave..”

[out-of-the-tank]

…you deserve to be a kid, ‘thena.. you deserve to have fun

[experimented-wildfires]

“I’m not allowed.. i don’t wanna get into anymore trouble.. i want to be good..”

[out-of-the-tank]

[Fable would knock on Ulysses’s lab before not waiting for a reply to let himself in. Walking straight into the lab and glancing around]

“Themist? Where are you?”

@creation-by-a-god

“It’s cold. He.. He wanted to see how long i could.. go.. i did good.. he said i went for longer than last time..”

[out-of-the-tank]

[He wraps them up in more of his coat, trying to warm him up]

You… you did so good buddy.. you’re very brave and im proud of you

[experimented-wildfires]

[He’d nod his head]

“I don’t feel like it.. brave.. ‘m not that brave”

[out-of-the-tank]

You are.. you’re braver than i am

[He pats their head]

Let’s get you warmed up, hm?

[experimented-wildfires]

[They’d nod their head slightly]

“warm.. yeah.. are you okay?”

[out-of-the-tank]

Mhm, im a-okay

[He keeps them close to his side, going to her bed setup and wrapping them up in their blankets]

You’ll warm up soon

[experimented-wildfires]

“Thank you..”

[He’d mumble softly]

“I know you.. are busy.. so i try to stay out of trouble…”

[out-of-the-tank]

[Fable would knock on Ulysses’s lab before not waiting for a reply to let himself in. Walking straight into the lab and glancing around]

“Themist? Where are you?”

@creation-by-a-god

[He stands from his desk quickly, legs wobbling a little]

O-oh- uh- m-mister Fable- sir-

[creation-by-a-god]

[Fable glances at him unimpressed at the stuttering]

“Stop that. Unless i need to fix it myself?”

[He would sigh and rub his head]

“Look. I’ve just come to give you some reports, since phoenix is your assigned subject, but i simply had a few tests i couldn’t wait to be actioned. Read through them.”

[out-of-the-tank]

[He flinches at the first part but nods quickly]

Yes- yes sir, i’ll get on it right away sir… i.. i want to see Phoenix first, to make sure it’s still… viable for the testing i had planned

[creation-by-a-god]

[He’d wave his hand dismissively]

“They are viable for any testing. You know how easily they’ll say yes anyways. Just go in there and do it. We aren’t here to make friends”

[out-of-the-tank]

I know, b-but.. if they were hurt, i need to know - you know they hide injuries-

[creation-by-a-god]

“You don’t think i know.. he is as stubborn as his father.”

[Fable mumbled the last part under his breath as he started to pick stuff up off the desk next to him]

“Okay.. maybe you do have a point. I’ll let you this once go through with this, but for future note. If they are hiding the injury then that is on them. I care about them just as much as you do, but sometimes the consequences of their own actions are needed”

[He’d pick up a empty glass bottle and raise it to the light slightly. Turning it around before looking back at Ulysses]

“Go on then. I expect the best from you.”

[out-of-the-tank]

Thank you sir-

[He limps past him, quickly going to Phoenix’s cell and opening the door]

Athena?

[experimented-wildfires]

[A small noise would escape the room before it seems to be silenced. Quiet again like nobody was there if you hadn’t heard the noise before.]

[out-of-the-tank]

Its me, its Uly

[He closes the door behind him, kneeling down]

Its okay, im here now

[experimented-wildfires]

[They’d peek slightly from their curled up position against the wall, before finally realising who it was. Using the wall, he pushed themselves up and stumbled over to the other, still not speaking as they crashed themselves into the other]

[out-of-the-tank]

[Uly wraps them up in his coat, holding them close]

Im so sorry, little fire.. i-i didnt know he was going to do tests, im so sorry i didnt stop him, im sorry..

[experimented-wildfires]

“It’s not.. your fault.. it wasn’t.. bad bad this time..”

[They’d fall quiet for a second]

“Just.. bad..”

[out-of-the-tank]

Oh little one..

[He holds them slightly tighter]

Does anything hurt? Or are you too cold- or hungry- or anything?

[experimented-wildfires]

“It’s cold. He.. He wanted to see how long i could.. go.. i did good.. he said i went for longer than last time..”

“warm.. yeah.. are you okay?”

[out-of-the-tank]

[Fable would knock on Ulysses’s lab before not waiting for a reply to let himself in. Walking straight into the lab and glancing around]

“Themist? Where are you?”

“They are viable for any testing. You know how easily they’ll say yes anyways. Just go in there and do it. We aren’t here to make friends”

[out-of-the-tank]

I know, b-but.. if they were hurt, i need to know - you know they hide injuries-

[creation-by-a-god]

“You don’t think i know.. he is as stubborn as his father.”

[Fable mumbled the last part under his breath as he started to pick stuff up off the desk next to him]

“Okay.. maybe you do have a point. I’ll let you this once go through with this, but for future note. If they are hiding the injury then that is on them. I care about them just as much as you do, but sometimes the consequences of their own actions are needed”
