The laboratory door opened, causing a stir among the rabbits in the cages. A black-clad senshi stepped into the room and slipped the access card into his hat. The card had originally belonged to the building's security guard, but Sailor Celemorrow had allowed his mirror wraith to feast on the guard's energy before lifting the card from his unconscious body. Looking around, Celemorrow noticed chemical cabinets, makeup accessories and cages filled with not only rabbits, but rats and cats as well. Fewer cosmetics companies tested on animals these days, but this was obviously one of the ones that did. After briefly stepping back into the hall to open a window, he began going through the cages and transporting the animals outside. The rabbits were easy enough to liberate, as were the rats. The cats, on the other hand, were more difficult to wrangle. Why was this company testing on cats anyway? And was that barking? What is barking? Is there a dog in here too?

"Rowr! Rowr! Rowwr...." A vicious, robust barky cry emanated from one of the far cages. A quite large Norwegian Forest Cat was sulking within the cage, her insolent orange eyes peering malevolently out around her. How dare they! First they make incredibly interesting and appetizing-smelling lipstick and have the absolute audacity to get angry when it's eaten. Then they have the gall to stick her in here with a bunch of cats! It was enough to get someone pretty angry, and Rosie was livid. Just wait until someone let her out of this cage. If they weren't going to let her eat lipstick then she'd satisfy herself using them as a scratching post.

Someone was coming to let Rosie out of her cage just now. Celemorrow had finished with the other cats (except for one kitten who had decided to latch on to his sash and hang there gracelessly). His eyebrow raised slightly when he noticed that the barking animal was...a cat, but that wasn't to keep him from his mission. He unpinned the cage and reached in.

Quick as a flash, Celemorrow found sharp claws digging into the sleeves of his uniform and sharp teeth enclosing upon his gloved hands - indignant orange eyes staring sullenly up at the senshi for a moment. Rather nonchalantly, Rosie blinked. Oh! A senshi. That was unexpected. Still, it wasn't one she personally was familiar with. "Howdy," the cat commented, as though she didn't still have claws embedded in his wispy outer sleeves. "You're not wearing lipstick."

It took a brief moment for Celemorrow to register what had just happened, but not too brief. He had heard mention of talking cats from three other senshi now and he had been hoping to meet one. Somehow he expected the sort of thing a cat would say, however, would have been.....something else. "Of course not." He walked over to the window and set the cling-on kitten outside before trying to pry Rosie off his sleeve. "I hear you cats are giving out cell phones."

Rosie hopped amiably down and out of the now-open cage to sit at Celemorrow's feet, making a face before sneezing inelegantly. Immediately, she got to the important work of getting the snaggy bits of fabric out of her claws. "That sounds like something I might possibly be known to have the potential of doing at some point," she remarked, chewing on the claw and squinting as her tongue curled, trying to get a stray string unstuck from the rough surface. "Hannyway, I'm Rosie. Who're you? Sailor Neutrogena? Sailor Clinique? Ooh! Maybe you're Sailor Chibi...uh...Tall." Some of the other released cats were running around free, and Rosie took the opportunity to bat one of them on the tail as it went by. "Jerk was staring at me," she growled. "Anyway. Where are we going?"

"Sailor Celemorrow." The introduction was curt. He didn't want to stick around the lab too much longer than he had to. Even with the security guard drained of his energy, there was always the chance some other trouble could arrive. Still, he had finally found one of the talking cats and he wasn't about to pass up on the opportunity for a cell phone with a space travel function. "We're going to the other side of the train tracks." He went to grab Rosie by the scruff of the neck, fairly certain that she wouldn't be able to keep up with him if he were to roof-hop.

"Okay, that sounds like a perfectly acceptable place to go -- woah WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT ARE YOU--" The large, fluffy, black and white cat bared her teeth, her claws extended out to an impressive length and her tail brushed out like a duster, recoiling back as Celemorrow's hand plopped down on the back of her neck. But then, suddenly, she couldn't move. Her limbs were stuck out at a few amusing angles, her tail curled up but still brushed out. Her claws protruded, and her jaw clenched as she felt that temporary paralysis keep her still. "Hrrghghhh..." she growled, Rosie's insolent orange eyes flicking up to stare at Celemorrow. Her eyelid twitched, as did her claws. Oh man, was this guy going to be sorry in a few minutes. As soon as he let go!

The senshi didn't notice the cat's discomfort or rage as he was more intent on leaving the building via the open window unnoticed and hopping into the closest treetop. Then he hopped to the next, then the next...and on it went, sometimes substituting telephone poles or traffic lights when the trees were too far apart, until he crossed the train tracks and felt far enough away that he wouldn't be tracked. Mirror walking would have been easier, but he couldn't take animals with him that way. He knew. He'd tried. Celemorrow came to a stop atop the rooftop of a house in an older residential neighborhood. He couldn't sense any powered aura's nearby, so he dropped the cat next to him. "I need my cell phone."

Rosie dropped to the ground with a thump on all four paws, before gracefully sitting down and licking one of them as though it'd never happened. "First of all," she said, flicking her citrine gaze up to fix upon him, "Don't you ever scruff me again, Sailor Celery Emo. You're liable to lose a hand that way. Second of all, would it kill you to say 'please'?" Rosie got up to her feet, arching her back with a pleased look on her face. "Gosh Rosie, you're such a good dog. I'd appreciate it if you gave me a cell phone! Here, I even brought you a hot dog that fell on the ground to say thanks." Stepping over a little ways, she sniffed the air, before starting to dig. "But you'll get it right next time. Let's see here, I know it's gotta be here somewhere."

Celemorrow did not come here to be lectured by a do-....did that cat say 'dog'? "You're a cat." He didn't know why he had to remind a cat what it was. What was it doing now? Was it really.... "You're digging in a roof." Yes, it really was.
