Animal I Have Become [Open]

[Ayumi Elric]

Haha, Ayumi's so witty with her rock lyric titles. Whoo. Okay, fuck waiting, haha. XD

Plot Bunny

When Ayumi started to come to, the first thing she noticed was the pain. Once she was conscious, it smashed into her, at first like a blazing fire. She writhed in silent agony for what seemed to be forever, before the pain subsided to a dull ache. Groaning, she opened her eyes and saw the bars.

A cage?

She sat up and felt the chains, the leash and cuffs digging into her still sensitive skin. Her body felt strange, unfamiliar. Something was wrong. But what?

Well, first of all, she had a tail. It was quite furry too, like a wolf's. And her mouth felt strange too, new teeth? She touched around her face. Nose was a bit puckered, ears were pointed, what what what. What the hell was going on?!

[Edward's Alter Ego]

Beside Ayumi's cage, there was another moan of pain. Cathy opened her eyes to stare at the top of her cage for a bit, only to realize she wasn't back in her dorm room at Central HQ. No, this place was much darker and colder. She then sat up, realizing she was in a cage. "What's going on?" she said, but it came out as a yelp.

She then looked down at herself. She was completely naked. She then noticed something else. She had a big red fluffy tail, like a fox. Her fingers were long and sharp like claws. She then touched her head, feeling two fuzzy black ears.

"H-Hello? Is someone there?" she called in a bit of a panic, gripping the bars of her cage.

[red]Ed's ear twitched, hearing Cathy's calls for help. He groaned and sat up, only to yell out in sudden pain. He snapped his eyes open, wondering what caused the pain and looked down at himself. He too was also naked, and he still had his automail, but his pale white skin had black marks like stripes, going up his torso. He then saw something twitch and looked behind to see a tiger's tail. "What the--" he breathed quietly before yelling out "--FUCK!?"[/red]

[Ayumi Elric]

((pfft. Ayumi's naked ))

((>3> *changes mine* I'm so use to censoring it on RR XD))

[UndeadTiger]

[[Rofl, that'll be a nice shock for a nine year old kid.]]

Ace hadn't been in that hell hole for months, once he left he decided he would never look back, on any part of his life. Though some of the others disagreed. They thought it best to stay where they were created, some thought it best to return to the warm nurturing homes in hopes that their parents would accept them. While most, like Ace, fled from their past and the pain they experienced only to be forced to grow up on the streets of Central City.

But now there was new word about the sinister laboratory, word that even more creatures were being "built." That human transmutation was being preformed in a land where its government forbade it. And if there was anyone who was going to stop these painful procedures it was going to be Ace (or so he claimed).

--

Ace climbed through the drainage system like he had when he escape those many months ago. He hated being back in this place, but he had to see if the rumors were true and if they were, he would stop them. Ace placed his slingshot between his teeth, grunting as he jumped and reached high trying to grab hold of the slippery cement ladders leading up to fresher smelling air.

Once there, Ace shook out his hair and replaced his slingshot in his back pants pocket. Tuning in to his inner-self, Ace was able to sense that there were indeed people still in this building, alive. Humans, animals, or mix of both, he couldn't quite feel yet, but he knew he would soon find out as he dashed off down the hall into the dim lighting.

[[And now we wait. -plays Jeopardy theme-]]

[Ayumi Elric]

Ayumi jumped at the sound of their voices, Ed's particularly, as it hurt her sensitive ears. Using her tail to cover herself, she inched towards the bars of her cage, peering out at the others. "Cathy? Ed?" she whispered, starting to shiver. It was cold, and as she started to cover her arms, she noticed the strange markings on her body, one that almost looked like claw marks.

"Chimera." The word left her lips before it had even registered in her mind.

((not waiting. lol))

[UndeadTiger]

[[LMAO. Breaking your own rules. I'll have to post again tomorrow, it's 11pm and I wanna go to bed. >__>;]]

[Edward's Alter Ego]

((I can't wait either XD;))

Cathy whimpered, the sound of a hurt dog escaped her lips and her ears flattened. "Ayumi! Ed!" she muttered and peered through her cage. She could see Ed across the room, freaking out in his cage. "H-How did we end up here? It hurts so much..." she muttered, lightly picking up her tail and hugging it.

[red]Ed flailed in his cage in a bit of a panic. "W-What's going on?? How did this happen?" he said, accidentally sitting on his tail as he let out a loud combination of a scream and a tiger's roar in pain, large fangs emerging from his mouth as it opened.[/red]

[Ayumi Elric]

((yeah, fuck the waiting thing, can't do that shit XD ))

Ayumi clapped her hands over her ears. "OW. Goddamnit Ed!" She frowned. "That's not important, what's important now is trying to find a way out!"

She stared at the bars for a few seconds. "I bet I can transmute us out of here," she said, and attempted to activate her transmutation circle, but nothing happened. Shocked, she looked at her hands, seeing the scars on it that disrupted the transmutation circle carved underneath.

"Sh-shit," she whimpered, tears in her eyes.

[Kaylin Fentress]

"Nnnh...? Huh?" Kaylin slowly blinked her eyes open, looking around. She was unsure of where she was, or how she got here. All she knew was... she felt really warm, as if she was wrapped in multiple layers of clothing.

Looking down, she tried to gasp but what came out of her mouth instead was that of a monkey's screech. What she found was she was much hairy than she remembered, and there was a monkey tail laying next to her. On top of all of that, she was naked too.

"W-what the...." She nearly fainted, but steadied herself against the cement wall. What the fuck is going on....?

[strawberry-chan]

"Nnh. quit yelling." Nyx waved her hand away something was twitching her nose... Oh just a tail... she thought sleepily...then her brain regesterd something and sh shot awake," oww my head...feels like someone beat me with a club she moved her hands up to her head where she felt omething furry, ears? an the re was a white twitcing tail out of her pale paper gown, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" she shouted panickley,

[Edward's Alter Ego]

[red]Ed stopped yelling and roaring and just glared through the bars at the other chimeras, growling low. "Is that you Cathy? Ayumi? Kaylin?" he asked, his ears flattening. "You guys were turned into chimeras too?" he asked, going over to grab the bar handles, but realized something crucial. His automail leg was still there, but his right arm was missing. "D-Dammit!"[/red]

Cathy slowly nodded, feeling like she wanted to cry. She didn't have her gloves, so she couldn't use alchemy. "They must've taken away our ability to use alchemy after transmuting us..." she said then looked down at her claws, striking an idea. "I might be able to get us out of here..."

[Ayumi Elric]

Ayumi curled up in her cell, continuing to whine like a dog. "Are you sure? I'm pretty sure they made this place chimera-proof." She felt really depressed saying it, it was another blow to her heart of how her life had officially fallen apart.

[strawberry-chan]

"Hey is there anyone sane in here? Hello?" Nyx called, she looked at where her hand had been replaced with a cheaper prostetic," Aww come one are you fricking kidding me?"

(( decides to sit back and watch and see whats going to unfold. Thinks of playing just a bad guy. But is still unsure.))
