Itona nodded softly, running a hand through his light baby blue hair. The male hadn't really paid attention at the time, when he had kept biting his tongue. And the venom didn't work on him since his body just rejected it naturally. Sometimes he hated to admit it, but being the way he was... well, it was a good thing at times. He was fast and could get around by flying. Hell, he could fight like a snake too.

Itona smiled. "That's okay. We'll get some food tomorrow. I may be able to see fine, but this is my second night here, I don't know the area well enough to hunt at night yet."

Anna Torres
15 years old (almost 16)
dome hybrid: experimental
60% human, 25% spotted owl, 15% wolf
group 4
tagged: Zach

Anna shook the other hybrid's hand. "Nice to meet you," she replied. She didn't pay much attention to the pawlike shape of his hands. After all, everyone here was this way now. It was definitely less noticeable than her wings and tail. She noticed Zach raising an eyebrow and frowning, but his questioning look disappeared quickly.

Anna followed Zach's gaze as he looked at the sky, looking at the stars. "Yeah, they are beautiful," Anna agreed, staring at the stars. When Zach said he had to hide at night and not look at the stars, Anna felt a little shocked. She couldn't even imagine what it had been like for him. Why did he have to hide? Anna wondered, still not knowing about natural born hybrids. Then she noticed Zach's voice trailing off and felt his gaze on her. The young hybrid's gaze returned to Zach and away from the stars. "Why did you have to hide?" she asked quietly. Anna had begun to relax a little, feeling a little more comfortable around Zach now that he didn't seem like a complete stranger. He was still a stranger, but he didn't seem as much of one now. It was kind of nice, being able to talk to someone. It almost seemed normal, like nothing had changed.

When she was first thrown into the dome and into the Mojave desert it was absolute hell for her because when she was human she lived in a forest like area and plenty of food and water and then now being so...different and thrown into completely different scenery was very hard for her to go through, especially alone. Also snow leopards are used to cold and dry areas and snow, so a hot and dry area was hard to adapt to but after a month she has been there she has began to get used to it. Her jade green slitted eyes scoped the landscape before she continued walking aimlessly, she didn't know exactly where she was going but she knew she needed to find a place to rest for the night, preferably a cave but she could only hope to be so lucky in this terrain. The girls long cat like ears that sat on the side of her head twitched as she heard a sound not far ahead of her and she went down in a crouch, her tail swinging dangerously in instinct when she saw two other hybrids walking ahead of her and she tilted her head, walking a bit closer. In the month she has been here she hasn't seen anybody and she was dying for someone to talk to than herself.

masozi grinned, the light of the fire glinting on his sharp canines. "ja," he chirped quietly. "it's been a while since i've gotten to hunt with anyone! with our skill, we could probably snatch up a feast!" the boy stretched out, before turning on his side, curling up in the dust and tucking his tail over his nose. he closed his eyes, tired out from the nerve-wracking start in the dome. he'd been terrified, hurt, afraid. however, out of the entire experience he'd met someone like him, someone who knew what it was like to not truly belong in either world. for that--for his new friend, he was grateful. "i can't wait." he breathed softly, almost dreamily.

Itona nodded softly, a smile dancing on his lips. The male ruffled his feathers before shifting, going over to the small male, yellow eyes glancing to the fire. Itona lied down, not a meter away from the male as he stretched his wing out towards the male. "For when the fore dies and it gets cold," he muttered softly.
Itona wasn't one for being nice. But Masozi was just a kid. It wasn't like he could have just left him there... if he had he would have been no better than the people that put him in this place.

Ashton Kyte
panromantic asexual | experimental | 30% grizzly, 10% crow | group five | Alex

Ash blushed ever so slightly as Alex seemed to be awed by his knowledge of the night sky, a bit embarrassed by the attention. He ignored this feeling, however, and continued searching the sky as Alex asked if he knew anything else about the stars. "I guess I know a bit, but not nearly as much as some people," he mumbled modestly. "I only know a couple other things... See that bright, reddish star up there?" He gestured to it in case Alex couldn't find it. "That's Antares. It's, uh, part of the Scorpius constellation, I'm pretty sure."

Emily Roberts
bisexual | natural | 21% Steller's jay | group three | Zyr

Emily huffed at Zyr's comment, but followed her instructions and managed not to step on any more cacti. However, she didn't heed her advice to keep her head down; although she had to admit that to do so would be smart if she wanted to avoid tripping over rocks or stepping on cacti, she would rather keep her eyes on the outcrop on the horizon, which they seemed to be approaching rather quickly. Besides this logical enough reason, hubris likely played into it as well, at least a little. The bird girl only walked with her head held high.

"Alrighty, once we get to the shelter, I'm gonna need you to-" Emily froze upon hearing a faint rustle in the sparse brush behind them. Instinctively fluffing her wings up a bit, she muttered to cat girl, "...You heard that, right?" After a pause, she added, "Can you, uh, smell anything?" Cats are supposed to have a good sense of smell, right?

Hopefully, whatever that was behind them wasn't another hybrid; Emily didn't have the time nor patience to have another little chat, but they were close enough to the outcrop that the other would easily be able to follow them home. And what if it was a domestic? That was exactly the opposite of what they needed right now. She'd rather come face-to-face with a coyote than another hybrid at the moment, that was for sure.

Eva Deichmann
bisexual | experimental | 45% Peary caribou | domestic | Bae

Eva let out a small sigh of relief to hear that she wasn't hurting Bae at all. "Okay, all done," she said, putting the remaining gauze on the cot beside them. As Bae reached over to put on his shirt, she couldn't help but to ask just one more time, "A-are you sure the nurse is okay with you leaving the ward?" Not only did she not want Bae to get hurt, but it just occurred to her that if he were to get hurt, she could also get in trouble for letting it happen. Now, don't get me wrong; she'd rather herself get punished than someone else any day. But the prospect of possibly risking punishment, even if it was an incredibly slim chance, kind of terrified her.

She hesitated, at first, to see if the other would heed her advice. Those little things were easy to miss if they were hidden in the brush, or they were just practically microscopic. Her tail twitched in mild amusement.* She’d be limping a lot more if she wanted to hold her chin up like that, but she shrugged and kept walking, her silver gaze switching between the sand and the outcropping.
A small sound behind them slowed her, her ears flicking backwards. She glanced towards Emily, who hadn’t noticed yet and was talking - ‘shut up for a second, please’ - but then another noise, like sand and dead grasses crunching underfoot. Now they were both listening. “Of course I heard it,” she muttered, “and again, I’m not a dog. ...But yes, I’m sure I can smell something.” Her nostrils flared slightly, jaws parting to let her tongue taste the air. It was hard to figure out which scent was which in this environment; if it was back home, she’d have recognized any danger within seconds, but out here everything was jumbled and new. She didn’t need that kind of knowledge to see a blandly obvious patch of white hiding behind some taller grasses and cacti, though.
“It’s another one,” she whispered. Was it dangerous? Was it a- what were they, domies? Or a domestic? Or a ‘they’? Frankly, meeting up with any of those wasn’t something Zyr was looking forward to, so she curled her lips, crinkled her nose, and pinned her ears back.
“We can see you. Show yourself!”

They had noticed her. She couldn't say she was surprised though because she hadn't put a lot of effort into making herself quiet. The two hybrids didn't look to happy that she was there and they didn't look to....inviting but so far these are her first encounters with something other then stray animals wandering around the dome. Star waited a moment before standing up and stretching out her stiff joints a bit, a few pops coming from them as she stretched

The boy shrugged in response to her question. "I'm not too sure.. They were never at home, so I never got to ask, and then they didn't pay off the rent for the crummy apartment... The rest's all a bit hazy, but some guys came and the last I remember was falling asleep and waking up here." Zach sighed, almost shrinking as he spoke about his parents. "They didn't care about me. The found out something about me, and then they stopped bothering. I't'll be a miracle if I knew what."

He ran his hands through his hair, stressing slightly. "I'd rather be in prison than here. At least they give you a bed, some necessities and some meals. Here, it's almost like we're animals." He changed the subject quite quickly, feeling incredibly uncomfortable talking about his own past when he'd just silently vowed to trust nobody.

"kiss me on the mouth and set me free,
but please don't bite"

Alex looked up at the star Ash had pointed out next, named Antares. "What's Scorpius?" he then questioned after locating the star. He looked over at Ash for an answer, then back up at the sky at Antares searching for what Scorpius might be. Alex then began to search the sky for anything that seemed familiar to him, but soon realized he couldn't find anything. "wait" he mumbled to himself as he continued to search the sky "w-why can't I find it?" His eyes continued to scan the sky, feeling like he was going insane. The constellations he had known to look to wasn't there, it had happened a few times but just brushed it off, why couldn't he see it. He had just seen the constellation Orion a couple week ago and now when he looks again its not there

"Forget all the shooting stars and all the silver moons
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue"

Eva, Bae started and placed a hand on the hybrids shoulder "I'm going to be okay, don't worry. The nurse left so she obviously thinks I'm able to handle myself. " he told her with a smile. "Just take a few deep breathes and think about the positives that will come out of this" he suggested trying to reassure her. Eva was a big worrier it seemed, and she just needed to think about the good things that could happened rather than the bad. "We won't be out for long and you're going to be with me, so you'll watch out for me" He moved his hand from the girls shoulder and took a deep breath for himself before asking "ready?"
