ooc: Cool, cheers Zerox.
I edited my last post with Krik so it makes a bit more sense.

IC:
Somi looked around the storeroom. It looked empty so she and Sturg took a shortcut through it and out into the stockyards.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Anni was talking to Jim about her garden and what was planted where and what she hoped to do with it, and Jim was nodding and oohing and ahing and not paying much attention, when he looked over Anni's shoulder towards the factory. "Hey, Anni, there's a paramite over there."
"And I think I might be able to get Arnie to buy me some- what?" She looked over her shoulder. "It's Somi!"
The paramite had already seen them and was running towards them. Anni reached down and hugged the paramite. "Where have you been?"
Somi answered, "I met an animal who could talk and he wanted to ask someone a question so I've been trying to bring him to you!"
Anni and Jim looked up and saw Sturg. Jim stared in surprise and said loudly, "Wow, is that a meech? I thought they were extinct!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Krik's head began to clear and he pulled himself to his feet. "Where the hell is that slig?" He had to find Dionysia quickly, before that slig did. His head was fuzzy but he was reasonably certain of that at least. He was going to murder that girl!

(ooc: not literally murder her, figuratively).

Scranton looked at Arnie in shock. Vykers product? Perfect? Scranton laughed inside, thinking about how they all thought he was a perfect little guy when really he was the top vandalizing mudokon. Scranton looked at them again remembering the invention for spraypain he had came up with, wherever he worked if there was enough parts he could make spraypaint. Where could he work to get the spray paint. Noticing the slig behind him, Scranton quickly asked where exactly do I work? Then he moved to the side.
>>><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Jade waited as the mud moved aside, gesturing Jade to start his talk with Arnie. Jade walked up slowly, admiring the beauty of the richness and wealth around him. Jade quickly stood upright and reported: "I am Jade SIR! I am going to work with Arthur in his cooking industy SIR! I was asked to inform you of this SIR! I am Jade SIR! One of the industrialists top sligs. Here are my second copy of papers SIR!" Jade handed him the papers, and with that he left the same way he'd came and found his way back to the station room and waited for Arthur, wondering where he was actually gonna meet Arthur. Jade was interupted during his thought by hearing a mudokon gasp, he sounded scratchy and hoarse.

Zap crouched in the shadows, waited. Silence, then a slig was moving. He could hear the pants screeching. Wow, they must have been in bad condition. Alarmed and surprised Zap gasped, pretty loudly, especialy since there was dead silence. Then Zap

Grum hobbled out of the train and inhaled the new smells, his tame guide-Paramite, Tutu, hopped infront of him. Tutu's lead was heavily wrapped round his left wrist and he held onto it tightly with his left hand. In his right he rested upon a walking stick. Tutu was desperate to explore, but Grum was lost. Grum scratched his head and one of his stitched eyelids.
"Can anyone help me? I'm here for a job... h-hello?" Grum called, hoping someone nearby would help him. He slowly stumbled around trying to find his way around.

Dek turned to Praetyre. "Test tubes are in one of the cupboards. As for fuzzles, like I said I have yet to do a Fuzzle test here. I'd imagine there's some in the stockyards, so DSlap, go get some fro mthere too if you please."
~~~~~~~~~
Arthur dashed for the Fone, then suddenly halted. "Damn, I forgot to find out the number for New Businesses. Where's Slap when you need him!!!"
He took off as fast as he could, charging for the cafeteria. He skidded in, noticed Slap wasn't there. And took off again. 'He must be in the Lab!!! Arthur thought.

Slap noticed how both of the Vykkers had decided to make him their personal nurse. And if he did remember correctly, he was hired as a doctor assistant. This started to frustrate him as he saw Praetyre that he was not a person who could manage such things, see that both seemed to not go and do it themselves. These feelings were not new to him, but he hated to know why they were happening. They only happened whenever.....

Slap closed his eyes and tried to relax. He then typed onto the laptop something that might surprise the both of them. "Sirs, I would like you two to know that when I applied for this job, I said I didn't have any tempermental issues what so ever. However, I do have one that might surprise you. It is the rage against Vykkers that assumed that by their species I had no ability to compete with them in medical profession. My first master was named Dr. Eloha, you might have heard of him. He was one of the few that started a Slig improvement project and performed the first ever body transplant system. At birth, I was ordered by himself to have me be his personal secretary. In those times, I was either roughly given orders or given torturous punishments. And not all of his punishments were because I made a mistake, but just because he was angry with his co-workers. Those punishments had harmed me so badly, that once I was given the priviledge to attend a school, I was ordered to have my scars removed by a Vykker first. They were afraid that my scars would disturb my fellow classmates enough to want me to be used as a murdered science project. Dr. Eloha did these experiments on me because I was an Intern. It didn't matter to him even if I was his best friend, he wanted me to be sure that I was his second bapple, and not an equal one at that. Yet maybe you should consider how you treat me before having one angry Intern.

Oh and Praetyre, this Slig is considered like a cut to me. I have 25 years of experience in the medical field. These kinds of conditions of Sligs are not a surprise to me. I have seen what happens to Fuzzles with gasleaks. I have watched them get affected physically by the gas until they die. That was the most horrifying thing I ever saw in my life. I will have nightmares of them dying of having to cough up their organs, having the eyes bursting into flames because of the gas. And the worst part was that they had their hair on them rot and be shed off. And underneth, you saw the horrible mutation they were developing on their furless bodies. So don't assume I know nothing about these subjects.

On a different subject, may I add that you should restrain Arrack until his wounds are completely healed. When he is healed, send him to a locked storage room with me inside. I can fix his problem. I just need 26 hours, a key, and a painting of Mullock. His condition is probably the result of having to suffer like this over time. His locomotion abilities in the frozen chamber died, but his mind wasn't. His mind probably wanted to know why he is being sent to death like this. Arrack eventually thought that this was all part of the Hot Intern Church (That isn't real, but to him it is) and eventually started to create ideas on why he was tortured like this. The worst problem of his case is that he believes these ideas. He is mentally insane, but nothing a trained doctor can't fix. If I can relate to him or at least make him think that he simply angry, you can take it from there. So that is all you need to do.

And Praetyre, this laptop is fixed on a writing program. It was designed by a Vykker that needed a portable computer to write mathematical equations since he was a mathematician. When he died, I accuired the laptop and changed the key figures to form letters instead of operation signs and numbers. I had to memorize what number meaned which letter, so you can see that my photographic memory paid off. If you want internet access, ask Arnie that. I can't fill out that order. Besides, he is already frustrated by me trying to tell him that there is a problem in the Labortory. However, I do have 600,000 bags of moolah. I could see if I can use some of it to afford some equipment we need here at the Labortory.

I will fill out those orders for you. But I have one for you. When a metallic Slig starts coming around here wanting my body his mouth, order him to go have a talk with Arnie. He goes by the name Molt by the way. That is all. Goodbye."

Slap took his laptop with him as he headed out to the door. Maybe he can finally do collect enough Fuzzles to test some experiments on them. Hopefully not the ones he saw in the early days, but the ones he was taught to preform.
-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-===-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Gappiqu looked down at the Vykker he had just wiped out. His anger became a strange kind of shock to him. It was a little surprising to see that an hit from himself can even slightily make someone go unconscious. He did do some boxing in the years before his new self came along, but he never was a good boxer even then. Why did he make this subject be harmed?

He gleefully accepted the compilaments from Goresplatter. He was going to turn around and verbally agree to them, but his surprised self became scared. He turned to face RG-49, which obviousily had saw it all. And if robots knew one thing, was what was considered an assult. Gappiqu knew one thing as well. For one thing, that was to get the Odd out of here!!

Gappiqu sprinted all the way out of view of Goresplatter, but not RG-49. Heaving and gasping for breathe for each step he was making, his thought were set one making his way out to escape. His plan was to hide from RG's scanning device until he got Goresplatter to attack RG. Yet his main priority was to kill off RG's chances from shooting his pants off. He saw a little space behind a pipe coming out of the ground and into the ceiling, and saw that as his chance to get himself into hiding until he figures out what to do. Gappiqu dashed harder to the pipe, but found himself unable to stop RG's shootings. The shots being given made him dive into crouching position, making himself realize that this was the end.

After the rapid noise of RG's rifle wasn't going off anymore, Gappiqu slammed his eyes open, breathing as slightily as he could. He realized that he hadn't been shot. But how? That was answered when Goresplatter had said, "Opps!" from a distance. It was clear to him now that he had somehow prevented RG from making himself fall onto the floor dead. Did Goresplatter make the shots and directed it to RG or did he simply caused RG to not shot directly at Gappiqu, he didn't want the answers for those questions. All he cared about was how he was going to use this chance to escape.

Gappiqu made his final sprints to behind the pipe, where he sat against it, trying to think of how he was going to survive. Yet all his plans died because of guilt. He heard Goresplatter say in the backround, "Even if you do get me, Gappiqu will rescue me, like I did him. Yooooouuu know it robo! If I had my arm free I'd take you on myself, I would..." Gappiqu didn't think to rescue Goresplatter. He just thought of being with Dionysia. Never Goresplatter.

Gappiqu started to discuss with himself in his head, "I'm already suspected of causing heavy amounts of damage around here. I don't need to be convicted with saviory of Slig terrorists! But I'm the reason for that mess. I'm probably already in trouble because of that. I probably should be returning the favor. Besides, maybe we can both try to eliminate RG-49... Maybe I could somehow make enough damage be inffected on him, I could try and delete all of his memory of us being criminals."

After he made his decision. What could he do to stop RG-49 from doing any damage? Prehaps he could.... Gappiqu got it. The pipes on the ceiling were the answer. He could try to get onto the pipes. He could scale them well until he got to a place above RG-49. When he did, he could land on the robot's face to cause enough destruction to be needed to fix him. He could put the robot back together again, but destory all of his protocalic memory of the last hour of his activeness. From there, he could say to him that he saved him from being destroyed.

Gappiqu brought himself to his feet and prepared his jump into the pipes. His Steef legs got ready to do some muscle jumping, and then Gappiqu tried to pray that all would be alright. He launched him small body into the air, and grasped onto the pipes. Gappiqu proudly congratulated himself for doing this as pulled himself into the maze of pipes on the ceiling.

He crawled along the top of the pipes on the small space he had to get across the pipes. As he scaled, he listened for any robotic movement. When he did sense some, the pipes he was on divided themselves across more regions of the basement. He looked down, to see that he was just above RG. His plan finally went into action when he dropped himself from the pipes and flipped himself to have his legs come down. He tried to land on the robot, while hoping he would.

IC: Zap quickly covered his mouth and didn't dare move.
<><><><><
Scranton stared into the glukkons eyes waiting for his direction to be told where to work, and hopefully un-escorted.
<><<>><><><<>><><><<>
Jade walked toward the corner where the gasp came from. He drew his gun from his back. Looked down into the alley and saw darkness. "Hello?" Jade called walking into the shadow a little bit, not knowing where the end of the dark alley was Jade crept closer and closer to where Zap crouched. Zap unable to move, moved backwards until he was cold up against the wall. Jade swung his gun down to see what was in front of him and beat the mudokon to the ground. Zap did not know of the no beating law. Jade though was unaware of this and began pleading sorry, and that he didn't mean to. Zap being decently smary caught on. "This must be an anti beating industry!" Zap thought and decided to get the slig to do whatever Zap pleased. Jade stood afraid of being fired, pleading sorry. Zap stood up and eyed the slig and started his hideous plan. "THIS SLIG JUST BEAT ME! HELP! HELP!" The slig began to leave the alley terrified. Zap laughed to himself and left the alley as well hoping someone would come. Zap thought he couldn't get in any trouble for being unregistered. Zap planned to take this slig to court, and get him fired.

Praetyre listened to Slap, then tried to disguise his shock at Slap's wealth. Even the Head Intern back at his cousins estate was only paid 80000 Moolah a year. Maybe Slap was an investor, maybe he was a noble of sorts, or maybe.. maybe he was just damn lucky. Praetyre replied;

"I am terribly sorry if I was treating you like a servant. But you must understand, I'm a Vykker, and an aristocratic one to boot. I grew up in an environment, indeed in a species when Intern's were largely fulfilling the role of nurses and servants. As such, this attitude has left a mark on me, and I sometimes rely a little too much on Intern co-workers. I apologise if I ever inferred you were inferior to me. I will try to put these things behind me and work with you as an equal, not a superior.

Now, on the matter of that order. I will attempt to contact our boss Arnie and request a grant. Part of that grant will include internet access and a few thousand Moolah for our yearly lab supplies. That should cover the couple hundred needed for my order. By the way, you probably need the boss to give you permission to get a portrait of Molluck, given that it's likely in his office."

Praetyre turned to his superior;
"I'll get the tube right away, sir."

Praetyre walked over to a nearby cover and opened it, taking a tube out. He layed it down on a nearby bench, and waited.

Slap stopped in his tracks before continuing. If he kept on making all sorts of conversations at once, he was never going to get anywhere today. Slap walked back to Praetyre and started to type yet again, "I am thankful that you realize now of my behavioural disclaimer. I hope that we never have such conversations ever again. I too, was raised to think that Sligs, Mudokons, other Interns, ect. were all degradements to Vykkers. The only difference between your education and mine is that I was to accept that I was one of them. I wanted to prove Dr. Eloha wrong. From there on, my goal is to become Head Medical Officer of some sort of Magog Cartel factory, with a team of medical doctors that are Interns as well. But I guess I will have to wait until then.

Now back to business. We could just use the moolah that I have back in the bank. I could just call my Chronicler friend to get it. Besides, I have no use for it. But I already have an idea to get Molluck's portrait. We could ask him for it, and let me draw one of Arnie place of it. I bet he would prefer one of himself than one of a traitor of the Magog Cartel.

Now I really need to collect the Fuzzles and other materials needed. Goodbye."

Slap finally exited the Labs without another interuption.

Praetyre watched Slap leave and then turned to his superior;
"Sir, while we're waiting, I'd like to ask you something. Well, three things actually. One, does this place remind anyone else of that old port off the southern coast? The one nicknamed "Misfitz Haven"? Because this place seems to attract unusual Inhabitants, myself included. I am a Vykker of a minority race with very different characteristics and personalities, you seem to be untouched by the age-rank conditioning of our species society, Slap is a free spirited Intern with a nurturing personality, I met an angry Slig who tossed a Mudokon at me earlier on, a strange looking Paramite, the former giant Krik, and of course, our deformed master of song and dance here. I mean, this is my first day, but even I can see this place is a strange yet in its own way, wonderful place to be. I think I'll enjoy working here.

Secondly, did you lose anyone in Lab 13, like I did? And have you ever worked near or under Humphrey or Irwin? I once got the honour of spending two nights in a suite to relieve an ill superior. In a way, I was really lucky it was only two nights. The day afterwards, all hell broke loose after that Gabbit did and, along with his evil Fuzzle friends, killed everybody on board except me and everyone in the bathrooms, interrogation chambers, and therapy rooms. Poor Lulu. He was absolutely hysterical after the place had exploded. I saw him in the lobby room begging after he was bankrupted and my aunt had left the auction.

Thirdly, have you ever worked in the same place as me before? You seem like a professional and experienced individual, so I'm just wondering. I've worked in Slog Hut 1029, 1030, 1544, Rupture Farms 987, 1000, Vykkers Labs 11, 12, 13, and even Flubco."

Jade had no idea what to do, he knew he would get fired and all of his hoped of being a vallet would be lost so he did the only thing he knew to do. Shoot. Jade aimed his rifle straight at Zap. Zap stared realizing what he had just done. Jade stared at the mud and whispered: I will shoot you right here if you don't shutup and wish this never happened. If you ever, I repeat EVER tell a single soul about this, I will make it my duty to blow your puny muokon feelings across the ground you walk. Kapeesh? Zap simply nodded, terrified.
Jade had never been mean to a mudokon on his own wanting to do so. ingHe did it and realized the power he had. The amazing this rifle held. Jade smiled. "Now, go to Arnie and get a job." Zap nodded and acted like he was picking something up, and Jade turned and left the alley.

Matthew replied to him, while cupping his mouth to ampilafy his voice, "Business if moving smoothly in the Scrab Legs section, but not so well with the rest! We need more Mudokons to help us!! Can you help?!? Or at least call the rest of the Mudokons to work around here??"

Ralph stood looking at Matthew silently for a few moments in that familiar (to those who knew him) way. It was almost like he would "analyse" every new person he met before he would speak to them. Then he said, "I don't know about calling other mudokons, as I've only just arrived at this factory myself. And I have no desire to go on a hunt for mudokons. However, I think I can assist with something."

He turned and walked back the way he came, then proceeded down the stairs to come out the door on the lower levels and walked up beside Matthew, "What needs to be done?"

EDIT: Figured Mitsur had a pretty good idea with his map thing, so here's Ralph's position (I think I'll just update the picture at this link every time I post here, and either include the link at the end of every post or even just chuck it in my signature).

Dek felt guilty as he watche Slap leave. He knew how talented the Intern was at medical work and felt bad ordering him around like a servant. He'd make it up to him somehow, maybe buy him some new surgical tools, or a computer upgrade.
He listened to Praetyre's in-depth discussion about past places of employment, and answered.
"Yes this palce certainly is bizzarre. You haven't met Arthur properly but he's odd for a Slig, no doubt, considering he gets on with mudokons and now enjoys cooking. Then there's Gappiqu, who seems to have affection for Dionysia, an experiment mud I briefly examined. Then there's Anni, sheesh, I won't even go there. I tried to examine her to see why she' different- she used to have visions or anger spats, you see- but when I returned she'd escaped and another Slig said she set the restraints on fire somehow. The place certainly attracts both the oddballs and the dregs."
"Anyway did I lsoe anybody in the Lab 13 incident.....yes but, I'd rather not talk anbout it. A cousin of mine was killed in it. And he was a friend as well. We broke into the medial proffessionat the same time, me slightly before him. Both of us went to Lab 13 about oh.....18, 19 years ago? Before that I was an engineer and inventor. I left there around 12 years ago, having set my sights higher, he stayed. I also met Arthur there, funnily enough, but he left shortly before me and went to some obscure place. Anyway, i don't know if I worked with you. Were you at Lab 13 around 18 years ago? The only thing of notice I can remember is there was once a riot that broke out because someone hadn't laoded the fuzzle cages properly and they broke open, and while everyone was rounding them up the Scrubs took it upon themselves to stage an escape attempt."

"And as for where I've worked, I worked at Lab 6, Eugene's Engineering 2, Slog Hut 247, some small pharmaceutical compnay, and most recently Lab 15, where I was very high up the social ladder until i got kicked out. I never even intended to join here as n employee you know. I was called out on a 'one-off' medical call by Arthur, as a couple of hsi friends had sustained accidents in the Boilers. I was delayed however, as treatment took longer than I expected and more people soon became patients, so I got the sack. And that's pretty much my lfie history. How about you?"
~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur tore up the staits by thre first grinding area, noticing a large batch of mudokons down there as he went. He shot out into the 2nd floor corridor and managed to ctach Slap. "Pant.....*Pant*....Slap, Boy am I......*wheeze* glad to see....8You buddy......*deep breath*..What's the Foine number for the Patents office you want me to ring to confirm our soup deal?....Tell me and I'll...phew I should never run on a full stomach again......I'll go ring 'em and get a Chronicler down here to sort it out." He leaned against a wall, still catching his breath.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean started heading to the security office, expecting Kix to follow.

ooc: Just to make it clear, I don't consider that map to scale, it just shows where rooms are and the shape of things and stuff.
I don't think it really matters as far as showing where characters are goes, that's pretty much what I had intended (and what I assume Mitsur intended) when I put the marker showing Ralph's position, it's just to give a general idea of where he is, like what room he's in and stuff.

Oh, and if Ralph had jumped that far he'd be a little splodge of guts on the floor right now.
Oh... damn, didn't realise it was that far I'll edit.

Praetyre replied to his superior;
"Well sir, I decided when I was 32 to take up a life of science and medicine. As such, I acquired support from my parents and studied for 10 long years at the Nolybab Academy. As such, I acquired numerous degrees, which I have already mentioned.

My first job was as a AutoSlaughter tester in Sloghut 1544. I had to test a new device that would of automated most new Sloghut work. It was a disaster. The idiot who designed it had glued together the transistors, and spilt alcohol all over the monitor. As such, it took them 2 years to get a new research team, rethink the plans, design, and construct the thing. But it was too much of a power hog, and as such the Magog shut the project down. Shame really. It could of prevented lots of Mudokon accidents.

I was fired in a rage by the boss, who decided he would take it out on all Vykkers for a few's stupidity. At the time, there was an unemployment crisis, and Inhabitants were lining up for jobs left and right. I decided to use this opportunity to study for 4 years at the Irwin Engineering School. I completed my education there with a 70% pass rate, then found the crisis was over. As such, I found work at Sloghut 1030. The boss was kind of old fashioned, but at least he wasn't a racist psychopath. I helped repair the pants of some of the Slog Attendants there, and even once performed eye surgery on an elderly Intern. The whole concept and subject makes me queasy, so I'd rather not discuss that. I continued for 9 years at the same old job, until the Cartel sent an inspector in and decided to promote some of the staff. I got transferred to Sloghut 1029, important strategically given its proximity to Mudokon lands. That's where I encountered Arrack, and the rest of my job there is history. After that 5 year stint, I was invited to a Medics Dinner at New Yolk. Quite nice, plus I got to spent my holidays there. Idiot Outlaws kept screwing things up, though.

My next job was a 7 year contract working at Flubco designing extraction devices. After an unfortunate few first incidents with concussion cannons and Slig skulls, and numerous spiritual repentance trips after that, I managed to build a fat extraction device, the one called the Lipocannon. It was quite sucessful, becoming the industry model for 20 years until the invention of the Flubpod. The added financial padding caused my boss and most of his "racially preferred" personnel to receive some extra cash. I accepted, but secretly actually distributed 95% of it to my underlings. I used the rest to buy my grandfather a cybernetic pair of legs.

My contract ended, and I found myself a job at Rupture Farms 1000. Believe me, you don't know Meech meat until you tried one of Honest Manfred's Meech Delights. They really are delights, unlike 90% of Magog meat. I spent 5 years there as a slaughterhouse meat grader, but quit due to a new boss coming in and asking me to become a therapist, both a field I have no experience in and one that in Magog terms normally involves causing pain to other living intelligent beings. By this time, my medical tenure was mature enough to work at the glorious Labs themselves, and so I went off to #11. I was put in the position of both Intern medic and Mudokon medic. #11 is quite dangerous if you don't know where to look. As such, I continued to try and save lives until getting a promotion to #12 after 3 years.

I spent another 3 years there, this time as the Master Medic. There were also a lot of horror stories there, including one where some Intern nurses didn't wash there hands after a toilet break and caused an entire Mudokon ward to die. The smell was so bad, I had to wear armour normally reserved for the Chemical Labs even to prevent myself from vomiting my recently eaten Gabbiar meal up. I continued for 3 more years, until I was finally moved up to Lab #13 after designing a new GabbitHunter 31415.

Lastly, I held the position of Senior Vykker Executive at Vykker Labs. And the aformentioned Vykker superior, who was on the Labs board of directors, made me his substitute. The rest, of course, is history."

Jade left he Alley-like thing. Jade looked around. "ARTHUR! OH ARTHUR IM READY TO COOK!" Jade looked around. "ARTHUR! ARTHUR! ARTHUR!" Jade waited. Zap ran out of the alley and darted past Jade and smacked him across the face as he ran. Jade swung his rifle at him, but missed. Zap left down the hallway and leapt through the cafeteria. He walked up to the glukkon called Arnie. Zap had an idea, a sneaky one at that.
Scranton asked: "Where am I to be working?"

OOC: Hey Guys, I think im going to start over again if thats okay. Im talking to Jade in this post.

IC: Jet exited the train and heard somone shouting. He walked over to the edge of the train station and saw jade shouting. He was very curious and exited about the new executive of rupture farms and what exiting job he would give him. Jet walked closer and closer to Jade and he finaly made a stop. "Umm.. Hello. What is your name and where am I supposed to go?"

Matthew looked at the Mudokon, and was a little more frightened by the appearance of him. Dark blue and far stronger looking than Joel normally was something he didn't not want to look into a Mudokon. Big Bros were enough, Mudokons didn't need to go onto the steroids. Perhaps he could get him to at least be a friend of his.

Matthew attempted to make a joke and replied swiftily, trying to get his shock off of his face at the same time, "OK first, we need to get you to have a new hip outfit. We need to put put some color on our pants, give you an Intern cap, alng with an undershirt. I mean look at you, you're as dull as a bird in a factory!" Matthew waited for the Mudokon to respond.

Isaac finally collected enough meat on the ground back into his barrel, using a cloth he packed into his pocket, as well as his hands. Making his cloth bloody and his hands, Isaac knew that he had to eventually clean off. But first, he had to get all of the meat clean of dirt. Isaac lifted his barrel up into the air and triedto look around. He tried to find a hose, so he could fill to barrel with water. He started to walk onto the platform he was on, searching for some kind of barrel. Isaac was relieved a Slig wasn't watching, or else he would be punished for not working.
-=-=-=-=-===-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Slap got out of the Labortory before someone started to talk to him. Finally, he could work on his job and not have to worry about some sob story about a Slig's or a Vykker's poor life. But he could hear the two Vykkers in the Labortory, discussing some matters by themselves. He wondered how much time they actually spent performing surgeries, than talking about the past.

As Slap walked around the corriders, he noted on how the factory was remarkbly large and very dark. The pipes and all kinds of machinery above him hummed with movement, like a living breathing monster. The lights blinked on the wall, almost giving a feeling that it was night time. It never seemed to fail to be like that. Since no light came into the factory, artifical light brigthened the place, but like those time, the factory just seemed not big enough to make it look like day there. Normally, back at the hostipal and the Vykker Labs he was raised in, the light of day shone into the facility turning the lightning to represent what it was like outside. Here, it was just plain dark, making everyone's skin tone to appear darker. When he was normally pale, his skin was turning a light shade of bluish purple. Strange how it was, he liked it all. Made him feel that he wasn't back where Dr. Eloha lived.

Slap was starting to think of how he was going to get all of these supplies, when he was interrupted by the worn out Arthur. He seemed highly deprived of required energy, just by his breathing. Slap was curious how that was so, since usually Sligs only get tired from running when their brain is working hard to pulse his pants to go into that kind of gear. He realized that he needed the number for the Chronicler. Slap sighed and opened up his laptop. He needed to work on a patient so he typed, "eight-six-six-four-two-one." He tried to avoid saying anything else, since he feared of having to go through another conversation.

OOC: Just so you know, I didn't intend for Ralph to look much different from other mudokons except for his skin colour. I don't mind if he turns out being a little taller and bigger, but none of this huge muscly stuff His changes, except the skin colour, are supposed to be near invisible. So yeah...

IC:

Ralph was used to this. Trying not to show annoyance in his voice, he answered, "Sorry pal, humour doesn't work on me. I didn't choose to be this way, so I'm sure you can figure the rest out for yourself. Now, what needs to be done?"

Jade still stared thinking. Albino? What was this? Some sort of circus? Albino. Wow, Jade thought of all the jokes that would go around about this poor 'feller. Jade still examined him but then awnsered him. "Go to the cafeteria and talk to the head gluk. Arnie, there should be a map next to the left turn over-" Jade pointed at the map - "there! Anyways, Hello Jet my name is Jade and I am currently looking for a slig named Arthur who is starting a cooking buisness I will be joining, so if you could find him and tell him im at the train station...I would be truley greatful, thank you Jet! Good look, best wishes!"

Jim looked characteristically nervous and nodded, "Years ago, before Rupture Farms was destroyed the first time, they stopped making meech munchies and people all said it was because meeches went extinct, cus they were all hunted till there was none left."
Anni said quickly, "There have been stories lately that some have been seen in the wild, but no one knows for sure."

IC: Sturg thought as he took it in, then replied "for many years I've been living in the outskirts of Rupturefarms, generally trapped in the low pen areas and not going to close to the main factory. But there is only so much one can take before they get bored of staying in one area...before that, though, I noticed general decreases in wildlife populations in areas that were frequented by Sligs and other such 'industrial' creatures. Since Meech numbers, in this case, appear to have gone right down, but if there were a few left, they've been given time to start re-estabilishing the species, so maybe that's a reason why more have been seen lately. I wouldn't be too surprised if similar happens to other creatures maybe...Scrabs and Paramites are collected from far out in the wilds, but not from Rupturefarms itself, so I presume they are far more scarce outside the factory's walls. Am I right there?"

OOC: Ah, thanks for clearing that up Gretin.

IC: Matthew looked at the Mudokon carefully. What Mudokon doesn't have a sense of humor? What did he mean by, "the rest of it."? Was he some sort lactose intolerant kind of person, that has been reduced down to being obsessed with SoulStorm Brew and forcing himself to think all of life is horrible? Matthew was raised to do, not to think. Glukkons did that. And he guessed that he had the privildge to tell him what kind of work was needed.

Matthew took a good look around, thinking of all the problems that needed to be solved. Well, there was a grinding process that needed to be finished as soon as possible. More Mudokons needed to be around. Then people needed to put together wooden planks together to form barrels. Another thing that was needed was someone needed to continue to clean up all ther messes around there. Matthew clarfied, "Well, Mudokons need to grind up meat around here quickly, so they can be sent to the Production Lines. Wooden planks need to be placed to together so they can be used in the Production Lines as well. We also need someone to clean up after our messes. You could be either one of those. I'm just sending barrels into the Production Lines. See?"

He shoved his lever on and watched the commotion. Barrels were being lifted into the air with the conveyor belts, and being carried into the Production Lines. Hopefully someone was there at the Production Lines, also working.

Matthew remembered Sam and remembered his fear of strangers. He also commented, "Oh and don't talk to that Mudokon down there. He is uncomfortable with strangers. But if you're going to take our job, we can go off working somewhere else."
