A simple stroll (OPEN)

[Xion Alistair Dance~]

Xion smiled at Kit's question and Fox's Handshake "G350 Or if you want my name its Xion Alistair Dance. My Abilties dont cause me pain unless I intentionally do something stupid Watch." He smiled as he shot one of his finger bones out of his hand before snapping it off cleanly, only for it to grow back almost instantaneously. (instantly). He the continued to say "Im pretty strong or so they tell me, Anyway my bones grow back as you just saw. You Fox your not as Sqeamish as most people I like that. Most see my ability and run for the hills. or the walls." he Smirked at them as he talked all the while, his finger bone on the floor. he picked it up and played with it manipulating the shape and turning it into a fork before putting it down and it returned to its original shape.

[Kit]

Kit smiled at her introduction and then just stared at the newcommer blankly as he played with his externalized bones. Her mind was elsewhere as she thought back at the bones of rats....oh how she'd love a good sport to chase one at the moment. Her tail began to swish at the thought and she wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation as she spaced out for a moment.

(ugh, the shortness D: )

[Fox]

"Most people don't even wait to see my powers before they start running. It's terribly lonely not having anyone to talk with... but now I have you two to talk with so I don't have to be lonely anymore!" Fox said, going from depressed to ecstatic rather abruptly. It seemed the little fellow was prone to sudden mood swings, but was in a rather good mood overall. It was nice for him to be able to chat with anyone. The strangeness of the two only made him feel luckier, like he was special for getting to meet such interesting people who actually wanted to chat with him too!

"Anyway, it's nice to meet ya Xion! I don't really like the number thing the humans seem so obsessed with. They keep changing mine it seems, so I don't even know what mine is at the moment." He added with a chuckle, his laughter sounding a bit odd considering their surroundings. "I'd show you what I can do, but these metal rings on my tails make it painful to even try." Fox curled his tails around so that all three were sitting on his own lap, then started to groom them a bit with his hands.

"I hope they don't give me another ring whenever my next tail grows in..." He added, more to himself but still loud enough for both to easily hear. His ears perked straight up when he realized what he'd just said, then put both his hands over his mouth. Every time he grew a new tail people seemed to get hurt and things got destroyed... and he usually got a new number and was moved somewhere else too. Fox wanted to avoid that, but he knew it was inevitable that he'd grow another tail sooner or later, though the last time hadn't been that long ago by his reckoning. That meant he'd likely not have to worry about growing his next tail for a good while. He removed his hands from his mouth and smiled shyly, trying to glaze over how awkward he'd acted for a moment.

"I feel lucky to have met you both, and on my first day that I've been able to leave my room without an escort too!" He was smiling again, his tails wagging once more as he stopped grooming the fuzzy appendages.

[Xion Alistair Dance~]

Xion listened to what they said, one thing in particular caught his mind, "Once his next tail grows in..." He thought before saying aloud "Next ? how many are you having ? or can you not control it ?" Xion thought about the Foxe's powers, something he usually has an escort for ? probably level 1 or below but he doesnt seem like the kind of guy to hurt anyone... or at least not on the surface "How many people did you kill when they brought you in ?" he said it calmly as if he was commenting on the weather, he focused on the foxe's facial expression afterwards to see if he could Ascertain (gain) any insight into the foxe's life by the reaction... he ignored the girl somewhat but he would start questioning her later.


OOC: Sorry it's short and sorry for the lack of colour my laptops being gay on me.

[Kit]

Kit saw movement from Fox's tails and she was instantly brought back to reality of the present. "Huh?!" she looked around, wide-eyed, "sorry, spaced out for a moment...what I miss?"Looking at Xion, she couldn't help but shove him to prove to herself that he was real. She squinted a bit and turned her attention toward Fox, awaiting an answer, not knowing what she expected or why, but something told her he was about to speak...some part of her that was paying attention even if she hadn't been fully in the conversation.

[Fox]

"Uh...well, ya see... I grow a new tail every one hundred years or so. Eventually I'll have nine in total." Fox said a bit reluctantly. He was a little worried about how they might react to his age or the fact that he'd sprout new tails every century. It wasn't something he could help though, it was just part of who and what he was. Fox didn't want to flat out lie to two potential friends though, as he was terribly lonely.

When Xion asked how many people he'd killed when they brought him in it sort of shocked him, making his eyes widen and his ears stand straight up as well as causing all the little fox-fires to grow brighter. "K-k-kill? I didn't kill anyone when they captured me. In fact I gave myself up so they wouldn't hurt some of my human friends." His ears drooped down as he wasn't telling the entire truth. Sure he hadn't killed anyone when they brought him in, but since his capture he had killed more than a few... but not by his choice. He decided not to comment on those unpleasant memories for the time being, afraid that Kit and Xion might think him some sort of bloodthirsty monster if he admitted to killing quite a few humans in the labs.

[Xion Alistair Dance~]

Xion smiled as Fox and himself had been caught in almost the exact same way, he was still wondering why the Black Rose did that... it wasnt even a true victory in his eyes... he then said "I lost count of how many of them I killed... it was when i first gained my powers, my brothers pinned me down while my father being a hunter saw it as his "God Given Right" to imprison me here. I shoot bones out of me... sort of like a hedgehog, as he recoiled and jumped through the window and ran... in the process i killed my brothers..." Xion sighed now that he thought about it he hated himself for killing his brothers, he had actually liked them before the incident and he sighed, he was getting depressed again. he then carried on to say "Then after my escape and after i killed lots of hunters... they sent my mom after me yeah Cliche i know. turns out she and my dad where both hunters. they Claimed no Relation to me at all. and if i ever get out of here i will visit them."

[Kit]

Kit sat by in silence at the conversation. Killing? Killing what? "Hmans?!" she soon realized in terror. Rats, bugs, birds, other tastey animals smaller than one's self...or the occasional dog that wants to kill you first, perhaps...but harming humans was out of the question. Well...at least not more than it took to make a point...right? Kit couldn't believe what she was hearing, even if humans in league with the asylum were spiteful she couldn't think of taking the life of one. Her tail seemed to die slowly behind her at the thought, her face fell saddened, and she grew ever nervous at Xion's words, but she kept relatively silent, looking away into the nearby wall.

[Fox]

"That's... that's terrible!" Fox said with horror as he listened to Xion's story. The whole thing seemed so tragic. That his own family would turn on him like that, the fact he'd killed his brothers, and especially he part where his parents brought him in. The loss of human life was also appalling to Fox. Sure Fox himself had slain quite a few humans, but never on purpose. He could understand defending oneself though, so reserved his judgement for now. He glanced at Kit and it seemed that she shared Fox's feelings on the subject of killing humans.

"You don't like hurting people do you? You were just trying to defend yourself right?" Fox asked, hoping that his possible new friend wasn't one that enjoyed violence.

[Xion Alistair Dance~]

Xion smirked at there expressions, they seemed horrified and scared yet he didnt know why, they had imprisoned him and the rest of his kind behind bars, why shouldnt he enjoy killing them ? he then said "Your living in a fairy tale fox, in this world the strong live and the weak die and theres nothing anyone can do to change that. So yes i enjoy killing but why shouldnt i ? wouldnt you want me to step in and protect you and kit if needed ? thats why i kill becuase i know it makes me strong." Xion said completely Non-chalant again completly oblivious to there fear or wahtever emotions, he noted Kits fear and foxe's recoil before sighing and adding "Unless you guys annoy me im not going to attack you" he was trying to calm them down. well put them at ease he didnt get why they were suprised that he enjoyed killing his jailors, he thought about this as he played with the bone he had broken off. He then shot out a bone about half a meter and broke it off clean, he smiled as it slowly grew back. he placed the bone in one of the Large pockets on his trousers that in reality they were designed to hold things like that, there were slots that would keep the bone in position.

[Kit]

Kit didn't move. She wasn't scared, more shocked into disgust. That is...until he mentioned haming them too. When she heard Xion say this, her ears perked up and eyes widened as she turned to face him. "You lay a finger on me and it's curtains for you, I don't care what powers you have." She snatched the bone from his pocket and gripped it in her teeth before getting up to walk away. Bold move for her, perhaps, but she wasn't going to sit around listening to any more of this crazy talk. To her, this guy had his weak and strong all wrong, but Kit didn't care to correct him for now. She didn't know if either of them would follow or try to stop her before she left, but it didn't matter much to her at the moment with the last disscussion in mind.

[Fox]

Fox was a little confused. He knew that killing happened sometimes, but it wasn't something one should go and look to do. "I really don't think killing someone makes you strong. Not all humans are mean ya know. If we act like monsters then that's what they'll treat us like." Fox got up a few moments after Kit and went to follow her, he really didn't like talking about hurting humans. Sure they'd imprisoned him, but he knew he'd get out one day.

"Wait up Kit!" He called out as he quickly closed the gap, then walked beside her. All his little fox-fires followed him as he went, leaving Xion in near darkness.

"That conversation was making me uncomfortable." He admitted as he walked alongside Kit. "I think Xion has just had a hard life. I mean his family betrayed him and everything. I feel kinda bad for him, but that isn't an excuse to be so bloodthirsty." Fox added with a little sigh.

[Xion Alistair Dance~]

Xion watched as kit threatened him and left and fox followed her. he sighed, they were Kidding themselve's if humans would ever be nice to mutants, He knew that... they were already being racist to each other, to them Xion and his kind would be even worse. Xion sighed, as this was getting no where and his new "friends" were leaving, He got up slowly and followed, he was silent through all of this as his bones finally healed. He sighed cracking it hard back into place. he realized fox was talking about him, having a hard life and all that stuff. He didnt care what anyone else thought about his methods. Xion knew that eventually someone would try to kill him, and when that day came he wanted to be ready. He followed kit and fox, he was really bored and had nothing better to do than go to his cell and shout at the wall... he hated the confinement it was terrible and unfair.

[Kit]

Kit was silent in her frustration, but was cheered up slightly as Fox came to walk with her. She turned to look at him with a pathetic smile, still uneasy with the subject as Fox gave his final view on the matter. Kit was absorbed in her own deep thoughts. Only the people in this prison had hurt her, the others out there left her alone including her own family, but one human family in particular had given he food and shelter along with the love and comforts of home she never knew. She would die rather than wish harm on them. Kit was smarter than that; some humans were good and some were bad. It didn't matter to her how bad a life whatshisname had, in her mind, there was no excuse for such hatred.

She realized her pace had quickened, in such deep thought, and stopped, noticing Xion was not far behind them. Kit wondered what he could be thinking, but she didn't want to get into a debate with him. She knew full well, those who discriminated were no better than the humans who ran this prison.

Finally, she turned back to Fox, "Where to, now?" she asked trying to change the subject and lighten the dismal mood.

[Fox]

Fox kept pace with Kit but he had to think on the question. No one had ever asked him where they should go next. It was kind of odd now that he thought about it for a moment. Usually he just kind of wandered around as he pleased, well at least where he wasn't restricted from going. He didn't think that was the best idea though for today. Yet where would Kit like to go? He didn't want her getting bored or she might not wish to hang around him anymore. Fox also didn't want to go somewhere that Xion might not be able to follow. Despite Xion's views on humanity, he still wanted to be friends with the fellow.

"Well we could go back to my room. I have some comfy chairs, much nicer to sit on than the floor. I also have some toys... but you have to promise to be gentle with them okay?" Fox offered, but didn't want his stuff getting damaged.

"You can come too if ya want." Fox said, turning his head so that he was looking at Xion. Fox had a goofy little grin on his face now, wondering if they'd like his room. He hadn't ever really had company there, and the humans hardly ever entered it either. Now he was second guessing himself on his decision. Was it normal to invite people to his room to simply hang out and maybe play? He really hoped that these two didn't think he was too weird, as he desperately needed a friend or two.
