[ when Rat can focus again against the lurch and shift of worlds and consciousness, it's the smell that hits him first. The overwhelming stench of rotten flesh and clotted blood, offal and bacteria. And the rust of iron.

When his vision slides back, he recognises the cage for what it is. What he doesn't recognise is the pile of meat that must have been a large animal at some point in the past. He's used to dead things, though, and after he remembers to breathe shallowly and through his mouth, he can occupy himself with working out a way out of the cage some bastard left him in.

An hour or so later, and he's exhausted himself trying to break the lock with alternatively a large rock and a shard of femur. It's only after this resounding failure that he deigns to try the radio. ]

Someone want to tell me why I'm in a fucking cage?

	[No way in hell she's actually haring out to lend a hand, but it's an interesting report. Patience tunes in.] I have no idea. A cage where? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A zoo. How many places with cages do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with this city to guess. [And she's not going to hazard a guess, either; this is hardly a normal city. For all she knows there are hanging cages at the walls and holding cells on every corner she didn't personally see.]

If you'd been dropped in the middle of the street in a cage, that would have put a whole new light to the proceedings.

	Nothing at all to be grateful for. [She sounds like she finds the very prospect a little distasteful.] But perhaps the things roaming the streets won't be able to get through the bars. If so, you'd be safer than any number of the rest of us. [There's a little note of dark amusement in her voice she didn't mean to reveal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A... cage? Well, that one's new. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	How encouraging. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Color me curious, I wasn't expecting someone to be stuck in one. [Then again, it's only been two days.] Need any help? [He frowns. He's... not too comfortable running around right now, not with those creatures prowling about, but he's not coldhearted enough to leave a guy open to being attacked.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	radio smokefall 2011-10-26 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ well, this means it wasn't on purpose. So there's that. He settles back against the bars of the cage to wait for his robot spies to rumble back ] Nah. I'll just enjoy the view for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[It had been a long day, Shion had helped people where he was able to and listened to the radio with growing fear. When Rat's voice crackled over it he just stared in shock, it wasn't until other people started to answer that he realised it was real.] Rat? You're in a cage? [Yes he is leaving the building, monsters or not. One of the things he has done in the last few hours is study the map on the wall of the lobby.] What can you see?

	[ Fuck. He can't NOT tell Shion where he is, he can't find private bands on this thing. So, distraction. ] Why am I not surprised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's not the one in a cage. He is however wandering around blindly outside until Rat gives him some kind of indication where he might be] I'm coming to find you. How long have you been there? [He looks round at a monster sound and runs into an alley] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokefall 2011-10-26 09:58 am UTC (link)
	An hour. And, Shion? Try looking for a zoo. [ there's some rustling as a thought finally occurs to him and he searches his pockets. Two discovered rats later and he sents the little robots whirring out of the cage bars towards what look like the zoo entrances in the distance. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A zoo, there had been a zoo on the map and it wasn't too far away. He ran down the alley and crossed the road onto Eve street. He blinked at that but the monsters sounded like they were getting closer. He had no weapon, hadn't thought to pick anything up before running out to look for Rat. He saw monsters coming closer but he also saw the zoo and ran towards it.]

Rat? [He spoke on the radio still but hopefully if he was close he would be able to hear him]
