Fleeting Humanity (Lab Roleplay- semi-lit) Scientist Needed

[harlical]

Willy looked at Aereo tiredly, collapsing again as he attempted to stand up. Crying out once more he sat there, crawling to the wall to help prop him up. Coming back from the dead had stolen away his energy, and all he could do was rest. He looked at Aereo, shaking his head with a small smile.
"Aereo, I told you already- I don't blame you for my death. It's okay." His small smile widened, showing his teeth in tired happiness, "I wouldn't tear out your heart, Aereo. I-I don't even think I would be able to." He said, looking at Aereo with kind eyes.

Aereo stared at Willy skeptically, gaze losing its fearful gleam but keeping its sharp alertness. He studied Willy, searching for any signs of treachery, but found none. Finally, after about thirty seconds of silence, he leaned forwards and turned to face Willy. "H-how are you even alive? I killed you, and you were dead.. T-there was a lot of blood. There's no way you could have survived that." He murmured, letting his front paws slide forward so he was eye level with Willy. He looked at him, trying to find anything different. Other than the obvious signs of fatigue, Willy looked like Willy.. But that didn't make it any less disturbing to see a once dead man walk up to you.

Zara shrugged, forcing herself to relax with deep breaths. The scales faded back into human skin, her fangs retracting and leaving her sharp teeth all one size. She rolled her neck before looking back at him, surprise and horror shooting through her as she saw the razor stuck to the back of the photograph. She stared, looking up at Blade with a wide stare.
"She was trying to slice your hands up." She whispered to the boy, staring down at the thin blade.

Neo waited in his perch, a low rumble of a purr coming from his throat as she opened the door two doors away from his own. His ears pricked he listed, the darkness fading away as though there was a light on. His eyes shone as a cat's should, taking the light from underneath the door and reflecting it, using it to light up whatever he saw. Cat eyes were useful that way. All he had to do was wait for her to come to him.

Willy looked at him and continued sitting against the wall, breathing slowly as he rested. "Funny story- I think I was brought back by Jade. I was dead... after you ripped out my throat I had three seconds to feel everything go cold, and the blood to drain from me. After that- I can't remember anything. I don't even know if there was anything to remember." He said, still breathing, "You don't know how good it is to see you again, Aereo. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

((Evan and Inu are done with their torture scene on the other forum [found on the front page or in my signature]. Viewer discretion is advised. XD Now when Aereo's tortured.... that will be a whole 'nother story. Sorry, Inu, but Aereo's not going to be for getting information. I'm increasing intensities for him.))

[harlical]

[torture scene was awesome B] well played XD and i can't wait for Aereo's turn, too ouo]

Aereo blinked guiltily. "Oh.. yeah, sorry about that.." He said sheepishly. He tilted his head at Willy. "Why would you remember after that? You kinda, like, died." Aereo plastered on a poker face.
He leaned in really close to Willy's face, eyes widening, but he still maintained the poker face. I pursed his lips slightly. "Why are you sorry? You have no reason to be sorry for anything." Aereo broke out into a big grin. "You got killed! Like, died, dead, murdered, et cetera! What, are you sorry for dying off so easily or something along those lines?" He snorted, leaning back on his haunches.

[Season of the Star]

((XD Thanks. Also... your signature amuses the hell out of me.))

Willy laughed, attempting to push Aereo's head away with what little strength he had in his arms. "Apparently you haven't heard of the human's 'heaven' and 'hell'." He commented, looking to the side. He had never been a religious man, but most everyone had heard of heaven and hell.
"I'm sorry because I should have fought. I should have fought because- if I hadn't come back to life- you would be tortured in horrible ways, and you'd be all alone. I'm sorry because, even now, I don't think anything I say or do will keep you from agonizing torture." Willy avoided Aereo's gaze.

[harlical]

[mm... ikr, i love that gif XD don't know what it's from though, gotta find out... hmm..]

Aereo shrugged. "Meh, you were a little bit dull there, but it's no big deal!" He grinned sheepishly. Heaven and Hell were two mythical places that humans believed in. If they did good things, they'd go to Heaven. Bad things, and they go to Hell. Aereo knew only that much about the two places, and honestly, he believed in neither of them. It goes against logic, against science.
"Torture?" Aereo echoed, gaze sobering up slightly as he looked back at Willy. So that's what he's worried about... Even though I basically killed him, he's still worried about me.. I will never understand a human. "You know, torture is no big deal for me." Aereo shuffled his paws. "They've done it plenty of times before. It's nothing new." Aereo brightened up, trying to change the subject. It seemed to make Willy sad, and Aereo wanted to make Willy happy instead. "Oh! You need to tell me, how did you come back to life?"

Then Aereo paused, letting suspicion show in his eyes. "You aren't a zombie, are you? Like, a walking corpse?" He pursed his lips, then tentatively reached a paw forward to put it on Willy's face. He was checking for a pulse, but as it is difficult to find a pulse in the middle of ones face, Aereo didn't find any. He pulled his paw back and stared at Willy in horror. "Holy crap, you are a zombie!" He yelped, scrambling backwards.

{Blade}
Blade slid one edge of the razor softly against his finger, drawing blood without noticing. "This seems sharp enough for making things out of the wood from the trees," he said as a drop of blood fell from his finger. Or she was giving me something to harm the scientists with, he thought as he suddenly smelt his own blood. He looked at his finger and huffed. "Yep, sharp enough all right. Only a soft poke with this would draw blood," he said as he placed the razor in his pocket, making sure it won't cut a hole in the bottom of it.

{Sophie}
Sophie scanned the room then left, disinterested. "Geez! when it comes to hiding, you're fairly good," she said, trying to draw him out. She went to the next door and opened it silently, in case he was in there. She looked around for him, but to no avail. Third time's a charm, she thought as she closed the door and went to the next one (the one Neo is hiding behind) and pressed her ear against the door before opening it, only just able to hear a slight purr. "You should try to hide your amusement a little bit better," she advised as she opened the door. "Found you!"

((I have to say, though, the symbolism between the guy dressed as a llama, the llama itself, and the Emperor Penguin is a bit twisted.))

Willy stared, laughing with much vigor. Despite being weak, he found himself able to laugh hard, "Zombie? Really? How many scenarios have they told you? They must have really thought everything was possible!" He laughed, "Aereo, you were checking in the wrong place for my pulse." He tilted his chin up and placed two fingers besides his throat, "You can find it here." He instructed, "It beats just as normally as yours... at least I think. Does your heart beat normally?"

"Sharp enough to make things from trees?" Zara said doubtfully, looking at the razor and the blood welling up from his finger. As he stuffed it into his pocket she breathed, chewing on the inside of her lip in thought. After a moment she shrugged, looking at him straight on.
"Well, at least your hands aren't shreds. What are you planning on using it for?" She inquired, tilting her head at him in interest. She wanted to know what someone would do with something like that.

"D'aw!" Neo taunted as she came through the door. He laughed, pouncing from his shelf and attempting to knock her over in his descent. If he knocked landing on top of her, he'd sit there for a split second, giving her a smile before darting down the hallway again. If he didn't fall into her, he would attempt to go around her and continue running.

[StevoMagnus]

{Blade}
Blade shrugged. "You can actually sharpen the end of sticks to make make-shift spears and maybe a wooden knife or something," he said as he walked over to a tree, pulling a stick from the side of it. Maybe I can make a trap or something, he thought as he took the razor out of his pocket again to sharpen one end of the stick into a sharp point. "See? We can make wooden weapons and maybe traps," he said as he sharpened the other end.

{Sophie}
Sophie stepped to the side and grabbed Neo as he landed next to her, putting him into a headlock with her left arm. "Nice try, but I've finally got you," she whispered in his ear. She grinned and waited, expecting for something to happen. If he moves I'll have to stun him, she thought as she pulled out a stun-gun with her right hand, pulling the trigger once to warn Neo that it was fully functional.

[Season of the Star]

Zara nodded her understanding, watching him work. That was a bright idea, thinking if they can hide the weapons. They only had an hour left to be outside, and scientists always found themselves coming into the field at random times. It was a risky business, one that Zara wasn't sure of. She was the pessimist, of course, but she didn't wish to be. She wanted the courage Blade had and the ability think positively all the time. It was the thing she had come to admire most about him.

Neo swore inwardly, looking at the stun gun with his hands on her arm. His ears twitched as he searched for any way out. She held a weapon to him- one that would hurt like hell did it ever touch him- and he was in a lock. After a moment of thinking he sighed, relaxing his muscles and closing his eyes. He calmed down completely, making it to look like he had given up. All of a sudden the smile carved his mouth again and he attempted to break away from her. That stupid grin never left his face as he attempted to get away from her and that stun gun she held in her hands.
