ooc: There seems to be some strangeness happening; Dionysia and Dbreak are having a rather vocal discussion in the lab, where Erp and Slen are, only they haven't seemed to have noticed. Can I suggest that whichever of you pair post next, you move the mudokons into the cage room to investigate Rick (and assume they did so before the Dbreak started shouting) so that there's a reason they haven't noticed the angry big bro and suicidal black-skinned mud girl(
)?
I have no idea how Dionysia is going to react to this; I'm sure it'll be interesting when I find out (poor girl).
IC:
Krik's eyes bulged at the impertinence of this mud; what did it think it was? He snapped open his doctor's bag with his bottom two hands and began rummaging around inside of it. "Listen,
slave!" He spat, "I am a vykker! And your role in this disgusting factory is to serve your betters!" He drew out a very large syringe full of liquid the colour of bile, and a large, rather filthy scalpel that he kept for occasions such as this. Then he snapped his bag closed and advanced menacingly on Ark, "Now if you do not take me to see my mudokon this minute, you will be serving as her replacement and I assure you it will be a very, very painful experience!"

Dionysia was edging towards the lift at the back of the lift when Dbreak re-entered the lab and strode towards her, menacingly brandishing a... photograph!!
This pretty much caused Dionysia to pause long enough to listen to Dbreak's reply.
The picture itself froze her poisonous expression; what were those sligs doing standing around amongst all those muds? She didn't look close enough to see the few mudokons who weren't showing fear of the sligs, partly because Dbreak wasn't holding it still enough.
As Dbreak launched into his tirade about having a 'place to go back to' (Amongst muds? Hah!) a range of cruel replies came to her lips, ready to be deployed as soon as he stopped for breath.
“But do you? Do you have a place to go or is someone just going to take you as they please until they are bored or you are not useful anymore?” Dbreak grinned with malice, something he rarely did “It doesn’t matter what kind of answer you give me, because I know the real answer is 'No'!”
He stopped for a moment but her quick tongue had failed her. Words wouldn't come. Sensing her weakness he started again and she couldn't find anything to say. Voices were screaming at her in her head but she couldn't tell what they were saying.
"Well?" He stopped in front of the door, inches away from that choice that was leaving "I didn’t thought you were going to stay silent for such pitiful remark."
Krik; she wanted to say something about Krik, that he looked after her, that he... he valued her, but long-buried insecurities were clawing at her and she remembered a conversation she had had a long, long time ago,
'He enjoys hurting you...'.
Her face contorted with rage.
"Come on, I am ready for anything you have to say to me now"
She looked up, anger flashing in her eyes, not arrogance or callous rudeness but genuine, animal fury, "You don't..." She hissed, barely comprehensible, "You don't know anything about me."
ooc: I wonder where this is leading...
If you happen to look at the Wikipedia article about Bile to check that you can have something the same colour as it, don't read the bit about 'Abnormal Conditions' *shudder*.
Jim and Anni waiting for Ralph. Emlech waiting for da Boss-man.
Gretin, i don't think Mars is coming back. I suggest you just have Hembar walking out of the basement and assume until further evidence presents itself that he (the character) decided to leave.
