Escaping the Prison (ShadowxRosemilly)

[rosemilly]

(You’re fine. Lol. I have just been working on schoolwork, so I’ve been a bit busy myself. I’m planning on trying to post in some of the others this weekend.)

“Yeah, I was born here. I’m a bit surprised that they have been experimenting on you and your brother, but they might be trying to try some brand new experiment or something...” Vince wasn’t sure, but honestly, it was probably better for them not to worry about it. Of course, the experiments did hurt, but they weren’t as bad as other things that could be done to them. “Don’t worry. If it starts hurting too bad, Michael or one of the nice scientists checking up on us will give us some numbing cream.” Not all of the scientists were nice though, so they might be better off just asking Michael for help.

Vince was really enjoying his conversation with Lewis when he heard footsteps approaching, looking up to see two scientists approaching. “Special operation? What special operation?” he asked as he slowly crawled out of his cage, stretching his limbs once he was out. His yellow eyes turned back towards Lewis. “I’ll see you soon, okay?” he hummed, not seeming too bothered by what was going on. He then followed the scientist to the hallway. He may or may not have been acting all cute and begging the scientist to carry him there....

~~~

It was a little while later when Michael headed over to Leo’s cage with fresh food and water. “How are you doing?” he asked as he got out the numbing cream from his pocket. Since he was the only demon trusted to help take care of the experiments, he was allowed to carry around things like this. “Need some more cream? I can let you out while I apply it.” He knew that Leo’s new wings just had to hurt, and this would be the perfect opportunity for Leo to talk to him if he wanted to.

(Should they have like special supervised time outside sometimes?)

((okay and sorry again; working on helping getting the house ready to sell still and still a lot more to do...I'll try to post in sf x rose and shadow x rose tonight or over the weekend in-between working on getting some more prepping stuff done))

"Oh so I guess this the only place you've ever known then, huh. I haven't gotten anything done yet by way of experimenting, but I guess that could be the reason. Not sure why us though," Lewis said in reply to his first few statements or so before he heard the rest of what he said afterward. "Oh that's good to know," he said in reply before the scientist led him into one of the rooms down the hallway they had gone down and had also nodded when he heard what Vince said before he went in a different direction than him.
"It's a surprise," the second scientist said in reply to Vince's question before sighing and picking him up when he saw him begging for that to happen (I'm not sure how to do the kind of experiment you want done to Vince so I'll let you take over if that's okay ).

~•~•~

Leo looked over at Michael when he heard him approach and saw the fresh food and water along with another small bottle of numbing cream. "I'm doing okay. I'm a bit cramped but who wouldn't be in these small cages," he said in reply to his first question before hearing his second one and the statement that followed it. "Yes, please. They're starting to itch a bit like crazy," he said in reply before sitting up from his laid down position but had to hunch down slightly since the top of the cage was touching the top of his head.

((I think that would be a good idea and maybe Michael can be one of the ones to help supervise them
also, I think you're missing some words in the last sentence of Michael's post; my mind is trying to figure out what it's supposed to say, but I can't figure it out))

[rosemilly]

(It's fine. I'm a college student, so I have quite a bit going on myself.)

Vince was carried into an operating room where one of the surgeons were waiting for him. "Lay him down on the table," the surgeon said as she pulled on some gloves. She then pulled over a mask, securing it onto Vince's face. It wasn't too much longer before his vision completely went back and the surgeon would get to work.

It was at least an hour or so later before he was brought back to his cage all wrapped up in a blanket. "He may wake up soon," one of the scientists said to another as they shut the door to the cage before leaving the neko all alone.

~~~

"I wish that there was something that I could do about the cages, Leo, I really do," Michael said as he opened up the door and stood to the side to let Leo out of the cage. There were guards nearby, so Leo wouldn't be able to move too far from his cage even if he wanted to. They would both get in trouble. "Go ahead and stretch a little bit while you're able to." Leo might not get another opportunity to for awhile.

(I went ahead and fixed it. It was just supposed to be Leo could talk to Michael if he wanted to. Like if he wanted to plot an escape or something.)

((okie doke and ah okay; that makes sense))

Lewis was put under anesthesia to knock him out while the experiment was conducted on him. It took about an hour or so to complete and once they were done, they brought him back over to his cage. He now had a few lumps on his back that they'd check either later that evening or early the next morning to see if the wings they added were starting to form. He woke up a little while later after the scientists had left, finding that the area just behind his shoulder blades was starting to each like crazy so he tried to rub one of them against one of the cage bars only to find that, that motion only made it worse which caused tears to start forming in his eyes but they didn't fall down his cheeks as he held them back.

-----

"It's okay. I'll just get used to me being cramped for a bit longer," Leo said in reply to his first statement with a small shrug before hearing the rest of what he said after he had opened the door to the cage for him. He crawled out of it, the only way he could get out, and then stood up to his full height shortly afterward. He nodded when told that he could stretch and did so, hearing his back pop in a few places while doing so. He walked around in the small area outside his cage for a bit and did some lunges and other leg stretches to get them not to be as cramped as well before leaning against the wall. "I would like to talk to you about a few ideas I had regarding us being more comfortable as well as a possible idea for escaping," he said after a few minutes or so of silence while the last bit was said softly so that the other guards standing around wouldn't hear it, but Michael still would.

[rosemilly]

Vince had woken up just a little bit before Lewis, his lower body aching. He let out soft whines of pain as he pressed into the fluffy blanket underneath him. A scientist soon came over, one of the scientists who constantly fawned over and babied him. “Vincent, how are you feeling?” he asked as he opened up the cage and rubbed some cream into the area that the neko had surgery at. “You’re going to be absolutely perfect. That was the last procedure we had planned for you.”

“I hurt so much,” the neko whined out, cat ears pressing flat against his head.

The scientist nodded in understanding. “We’ll keep this cream and rub it in whenever you need it. It should help.” He ran a hand through Vince’s hair before shutting the door to his cage and leaving to get back to work.

It wasn’t much later when he noticed that Louis was up. “Lewis? Are you okay?” His eyes almost immediately noticing the red lumps on his back. “Here, use some of this.” He slid the cream through the bars towards Lewis. He wish that he could help more, but it was the most that he could do at the moment. Though maybe Michael could help Lewis apply it. “Just pass it back when you are done.” He would hate to lose his privileges if someone found out that he was sharing things that he was given. He then laid his head back down in the blankets, letting out whimpers of pain as he waited for the cream to start working.

~~~

Michael let Leo stretch out as much as he needed to before moving behind him when he leaned against the wall. His fingers dipped into the cream before rubbing it into the sore, itchy places of Leo’s wings and the skin around them. “Alright. What ideas do you have?” he asked as he gently rubbed the cream in. When he was done, he slipped the container of cream back into his pocket.

He glanced around a bit, making sure no one else was nearby before looking at Leo. “Would you like to visit your brother?” he asked. Leo could even give a quick visit to Vince if he really wanted to. It was all up to Leo. He could always fake a scene if one of the other demons or even the scientists walked past him.

[Shadowfax278]

"I'm okay but my back really itches," Lewis said in reply to Vince's question before seeing what he was handing him through the bars of his cage. "Thanks and I will. I might have to get someone else to help me apply it, though before I give it back." After he said this last statement, he noticed that Vince was in pain and also heard the small whimpers he let out because of it after looking around and spotting Michael and Leo talking with Leo out of his cage. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern in his voice when his attention went back to being on the neko.

~~♦~~♦~~

"Thanks for doing that. This cream really helps with the itch," Leo said when he felt the coolness of the cream on his back which made his wings and the area around them feel much better than they did earlier. "Maybe we can go outside sometimes, supervised of course, to get some fresh air and to move around a bit more. For an escape idea, perhaps we can fake one of us escaping; while the other demon guards are preoccupied with that we can make our getaway," he said in reply to his first question after the cream was starting to dry before hearing the second one regarding his brother. "Oh yes please if that's possible," he said in reply before looking over at his twin and the neko beside him.

[rosemilly]

“Turn your back to the bars, and I can try applying it for you,” Vince said as he moved to sit up, wincing a bit in pain, but besides that he was fine. It was then that his yellow eyes noticed Michael and Leo standing outside of the cages. “Or.... you could have Michael do it for you,” he said with a wink. He had noticed how Michael and Lewis seemed interested in each other, and if Leo was left out for a bit, those two being distracted with each other would give himself some time to talk to Leo. He tilted his head a bit when he was asked if he was okay, quickly brushing off the concern. “I’ll be fine once the cream kicks in.” And he knew that he would be fine. He just needed time to recover, which... sitting up probably wasn’t the best thing at the moment.

~~~

Michael knew that things weren’t the best, but letting the experiments outside could be seen as pretty risky. “I can mention it, but I doubt it will happen. Perhaps we could settle for a caged in area outside? Once your wings are completely in and healed, you’ll get to visit the training area.” He had a feeling that Leo would like it there. It probably had nothing to do with what Leo had in mind though.

The idea to escape seemed pretty simple, but it seemed like it could work if it was timed right. “I think it would be safer to ask an experiment on the other side of the room to. What if one of you gets caught?” That would be no fun. “I can’t guarantee that someone will agree, but it you really want to try your idea, we can.”

A smile formed on his face as Michael seemed like he really wanted to see his brother. “Go ahead.” He was only steps away from them, so he might as well.

[Shadowfax278]

Lewis nodded and was about to do what was suggested, but then heard the statement regarding Michael doing it for him and blushed a slight red color on his cheeks in response. He looked over at Vince and saw the wink, causing his blush to darken slightly. He briefly looked over at his brother and Michael, mostly having it on the latter, before turning his attention away from them again so that he wouldn't appear to be staring. "Um I guess I could," he said a bit shyly in reply before hearing what the neko said last. "Okay. I hope it kicks in soon so you won't be in so much pain."

~~♦~~♦~~

Leo listened to everything that Michael said regarding his idea about them going outside and nodded in understanding before saying in reply, "If that can happen I'm sure we'll be fine with it as long as its bigger than the cages we're cooped up in 24/7." "Hm I might like that," he said in reply to the last thing the demon said about an area he can go to once his wings were in and were completely healed.

"Okay and that won't be good. It's worth a try to see if they'd be interested," he said in reply to what the other said in regards to his idea about escaping and then listened to his short response on him wanting to see his brother. He nodded in reply before walking over to the other cages where Lewis and Vince were.

[rosemilly]

Vince offered Lewis a kind smile. "Don't worry. I'm sure it will." Even if the cream did kick in, it probably wasn't a good idea for him to get up and strain himself or the incision that he had. His yellow eyes turned away from Lewis when he noticed Leo and Michael coming over. He gaze looked over Leo a bit, maybe even checking him out. "Hello there, handsome. How are you?" he asked with a purr in his voice, trying to make his interest obvious to Leo. His ruby red tail swayed back and forth behind him.

~~~

"I think I would worry about escaping until all of you are healed up and until you and Lewis have learned to use you wings." It may be the most optimal situation, but learning to fly would make escaping easier. When you were against flying demons, escaping could be a bit hard.

Michael followed Leo over to the cage, smiling at Vince and Lewis. "How are you two feeling?" he asked, not knowing what kind of procedure Vince had, but he had some idea of what they did. "Do either of you need anything?" He reached down, unlocking the doors of the cages so that Vince and Lewis could come out if they wanted/could.

((question: when should we bring Luke and Octavian back in and what did we say that we were going to do with them again? I forgot ; I think it might have had something to do with finding Lucius, but I'm not 100% sure...
I was also possibly thinking of having him work as a bartender at a gay club as sort of an undercover type of thing, or just as a side job, to see if Lucius would show up there if that would be the case then he can call Octavian when he does show and then he can be brought back; maybe also Octavian can just show up there from time to time to see how he's doing

edit: I went back in our PM discussion about that and found that they would be looking for him (Lucius)))

Leo nodded in reply to what he heard Michael say before he had his attention go to being on Vince afterward when he heard the latter address him. "Hey and I'm fine. You?" he said and asked in reply to his statement and question before kneeling in front of his cage. He blushed a bit when he noticed him (Vince) looking him (Leo) over before doing the same. He wondered why he was acting a different way than he had been earlier, but didn't ask.

~~♦~~♦~~

"I'm okay but my back itches really bad in a hard to reach place for me," Lewis said in reply to the first question that Michael asked before hearing the second one shortly afterward. "Um if you wouldn't mind could you put some of this cream Vince let me borrow on that area please?" he asked a bit shyly in reply with his cheeks being a light pink color.
