((Kate! D: But...your character was going to buy MAelen...and now he has nobody. ;c

Dart: You said Paige was a fox person, right? :U I like foxes, so it;s possible. c:))

((Kate, you have upset me. :c


.... Meh.))


[And yeah, Kella does that. xDDD]

Kella noticed how Cole didn't like the idea of putting her on a leash either. The girl just kept silent as he put the collar with the leash around her neck. It felt awkward, cold, useless. The girl tugged at it as she crawled out of her cage. Oh how good it felt to actually stretch. Kella got upon her tippy-toes and threw her arms into the air, sighing as her joints popped. 

Then, the girl's eyes went wide as the boy left the door. Where was he going??? She took it instantly, to run after him. After almost tripping on her hanging leash, the girl practically galloped out of the door after Cole. She didn't want to be left in that place alone. Who knows what the workers would have done.

Kella scanned the small parking lot for Cole, noticing him about 20 yards away, walking towards his car. Kella jogged after him, not even breaking a sweat. She reached him and resulted to walk, keeping a few feet away from him, as precaution.

No I do not.

That's what Shawn had figured. Calyx put on the 'bad-girl' repuation, to keep people away, but he somewhat assumed that she was like him.  "What do I want..." He repeated, thinking to himself. "I'm wondering one thing... Would you rather come live with me and my family? Or would you like to stay stuck in this cage?" Shawn's voice was curious, longing to know her answer. If she didn't want to be adopted by him, he would come back another day for a different animal. It was all up to her decision.

Cole opened the front car door for Kella.  "Go ahead," he said.  Would she run away?  Wait, was the leash bothering her?  "Um, here, I can do this," he said, taking off the leash and throwing it on his seat.  He'd take care of it later.  Then he went back to the car.  "Um... my parents went to go get your stuff, so.. I don't know what they got.. but they usually go big.. so, um.." he stammered.  "Uh, you'll see..  But we have to get to my home first.. Well, it's sort of your home, now, too, I think, so, uh.."

Calyx bared her canines once again at him. "You already payed for me. I have no say in this." She let out a grunt as she stood up, turned the opposite way, and plopped down stubbornly.

-fail-

(( I has a big fail. xDD ))

Cloud's ears perked up a little hopefully when the other male called him by his name, the clouded leopard lifting his head to actually give the other a soft smile. He was just about to ask him what his name was when the employee skittered over and poor Cloud was so rudely stuffed into a little carrier, even smaller than his cage, and then let out a mewl of discomfort as he squirmed, ears pinned back and the fur of his tail bristling as much as it possibly could. He couldn't stand being locked up in spaces this small! He couldn't even twist to get more comfortable!

"Why do I have to be in here?" he asked, his blue eyes wide as claustrophobia began to settle in. He squirmed even more, deperately wanting out of this prison he had been forced into. He little claws scraped against the bottom of the cage as he let out another mewl, burying his face into his hands to try to force his mind away from where he was.

((Yes. Cloud is claustrophobic. :U

But wouldn't you be, too, after being stuck in a cage and changed into a mutant? :U))

_____________________

Allen sighed softly. It seemed the crestures were beginning to get sold off. He thought that he had, perhaps, come in too late to purchase one for himself until he noticed a lonely little fox. Curiosity getting the better of him, he moved over, glancing at the tag. "Paige..." he murmured, blinking. Strangely...normal name for a 'pet'.

Paige stared up at the white cieling of her cage. She tilted her head to the left and heard a crack then to right and heard a crack. She smiled at the feeling. She cracked her knuckles too and buzzed her lips together again. She tapped her boots to the wall for no reason besides to be doing something.There wasn't much she could do but she would have to entertain herself with what she had...which was a bowl of slime, humming, and tapping. Her tail flicked back and forth hitting her in the ear slightly but it felt kind of good. She began to hum to herself again not sure what else to do besides that.

She heard someone say her name and she tilted back her head on the floor f the cage to see who. "Yeah my name is Paige" she said with out difficulty. She turned herself so that her was sitting up right again. She was a bit dizzy as the blood rushed away from her head so she grabed the bars of the cage, "Who are you" she asked

Shawn sighed. He had tried to reason with the girl, but he saw how that turned out. The boy stood up and nodded to the clerk nearby. Shawn was seriously thinking about tranquilizing the girl before he sold her. He bit his lip to hold back his laugh; he would never sell her, and he knew it... But the girl didn't. 

"I figured I could sell you on the street for a higher price than what I bought you for," He told her with a shrug, not that she could see it. A smile lingered in his voice. Then, a few people walked over and grabbed the cage and took it outside. Shawn had bought both the girl, and the cage, so he wouldn't have to deal with her attacking him in the car. He had already put the seats down in the back of his SUV, so he knew that the cage would fit.

((Shawn... Is so evil. c<)) 

(( Zozo is sorry, Cloud, but Kohaku is insensitive. xD; /dies in corner ))

Kohaku ignored the hybrid as he walked out of the pet store, an employee dragging the crate around. "Car's over here," He explained, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he walked over to his beloved-- A big mudding truck with huge tires. Obviously fore-wheel drive. "Just load it up in the back," He called over his shoulder as he popped open the door and heaved himself up inside. he waited. No signs of it being loaded up in the truck. He sighed, opening up a window in the ceiling and popping up his head. He opened his mouth to snap at the employee, but it seemed he was having some....difficulties getting it up. The employee was pathetic, he decided, hopping out and pushing it up himself. He closed the gate and climbed in. "Oh your gonna love your new home, buddy-boy. I even moved the dead cat! The closet's a very nice place." he couldn't help but taunt.

---

Calyx perked up her ears, obviously listening at what the human had to say. She jerked herself around, mouth open to snarl a remark at him, but found herself being lifted up. Her tail fluffed up again, to her dismay. But there were more things happening, other than hr tail having a fail. The human was going to sell her! On the streets! She crouched down, claws digging into the cage floor. She didn't want to be some-some gangster's pet! No, no, no, no, no! She let out a pitiful howl and clawled at the bars frantically.

"Closet?" squeaked the clouded leopard, his head snapping up before his claustrophobia finally took a firm hold and caused him totry to escape from the cage, clawing at it the best that he could as he let out a loud, almost terrified yowl, his ears pinned back as hsi tail tried to lash back and forth within the small area he was restricted to. "No! I will not live in a little closet for the rest of my life!" he yowled, obviously getting quite frantic. "Let me out!" he cried suddenly, twisting within the small area he had to move in.

His breathing got a bit shallower as he curled up in a tight little ball, looking like he was on the verge of a serious breakdown. He heeded to get otu of this little carrier! It felt like it was suffocating him!

"I'm Allen," he stated in return to the foxgirl's inquiry as to who he was. His light blue eyes glanced around quickly before he cocked his head, his dark hair fell into his field of vision. "And if you have the traits I'm looking for, you may just leave this place," he added a few moments later, looking rather thoughtful. She'd have to have a good personality, as well as respond well to contact to other people since his parents had friends over daily.

(( Poor Cloud. D; ))

Kohaku let out a laugh, stomping his foot on the gas. The truck sped off, going straight through the parkinglot and over the side-walk. Many bumps later, they were on the road. He banged his fist on the beeper. It obviously let out a big 'beeeeeeeeep. beeeeeeeeep'. He growled. "We're only goin' 60!" he snapped, again going over the sidewalk. This time he used it instead of the road. Less cars. He zig-zagged happily, completly forgetting about the precious creature in the back. He, not intentionally, banged the crate around with each turn. "Whoo-hooo!" He called happilly, blasting his music up.
