"It's simple," Julie explained, simply. "Just take your knife and, find a path of least resistance and go ahead and take the stuffing out. It's almost therapeutic, really." She began to hum as she worked, picking out another minipet - this one seemed to have some sort of heart-shaped marking on its belly - before placing it flat against the counter, the knife plunging straight into the thing and -
- bless that minipet's poor soul. Who would have thought Julie was a minipet killer. OOC - Now that you have your pets, its time to um... gut it. And then skin it I guess. Roll a 100-sided dice. If 90 or higher, you successfully manage to hold down your minipet as you ATTEMPT to gut it. Quote your target.

Jove's eyes went wide as he was approached, and didn't even have a chance to wiggle out before he was scooped up by a small-ish hunter with blonde hair. A muffled whine escaped as he was lifted into the air. But surely they didn't mean...
And then the treat was run through.
Jove thought he was going to throw up, but he managed to hold back the ghostly bile rising in his throat. Hadn't he died enough times at the hands of these hunters? But his options were limited. If he changed back he could throw them off guard, but... If they caught him, they would probably turn him into a weapon. And that was even worse than another dissipation.
No, he had to do this without letting them know what he was! Somehow he had to get himself out... And the other foxfire if he could. The thing was stupid, but it was like family! His panicked mind raced, what would Fruitloup do in this situation?
The answer came to him quickly. And then Jove put on an endearingly dumb expression, dropping his jaw in a dopey smile, letting his tongue hang out... And twisted in an attempt to scratch one ear with a hind leg.

Take the stuffing out ... ergh. Okay, there was really no way around this. Jordan looked down at the foxfire under his arm. "Sorry, little guy," he muttered, and placed it on the counter.
It squirmed and thrashed and whined like a puppy, and shook itself free of Jordan's grip. ... He might not have been trying to hold the thing as well as he could have, but nobody could prove that.

Well Dakota didn't come back with a minipet after all, since they were called back so suddenly. He looked at Jordan's attempt at the small puppy thing and felt bad for the poor boy.
Even he didn't have the heart to- oh god Julie. The more he stayed in the room, the more he died a little. Any morals left? not really.
"I guess I'll just take one of these...." Dakota was about to reach for one of the minipets but missed.
and that was okay right, they were backed into a corner in the cage and he missed getting them right. IT WAS OKAY RIGHT.

The creature he held was small, pale blue, fluffy, and looked as though it could hardly eat its dinner properly, let alone be a creature of the monster world. Gale gave it a very long, studious look, as though trying to see exactly what it was doing, or if it might have been casting some sort of illusion on him to just make him think it was a harmless little puffball of a creature.
All he got instead was a pair of large, pitiful looking eyes and a happy, deliberately adorable expression.
Gale scowled.
This was all Julie's fault.
He tried to push down the squirming little thing, but the paleish, blue-eyed foxfire was not really helping much, since he kept giving Gale looks with big, sad, baleful eyes.
"Stop that," Gale told him. "I'm still doing this even if you look at me like that."

Jove's stupid dopey expression faltered for a second as he heard the other foxfire whine, but then the sound of little claws scrabbling free on the counter gave him the chance he needed. He gave his own experimental wiggle as the blonde hunter tried to hold him down, staring back with a stupid intentness...
And then with one quick twist he slipped from the hunter's grasp.
"BARKBARK!" He yipped at the other foxfire, the poor dumb thing, and leaped off the counter. He knew the fruit foxfire would follow him, they always did. And with any luck, he would get them both to safety before the fluff behind him even noticed they were in danger.
Eight claws scrabbled on kitchen tile before Jove spotted an open door, and bolted through. First... they escape the hunters. Second... they find a way home.

Julie remained entirely obvious to the fact that Jove had escaped, however, as the 'minipet' was able to scramble out of the contained kitchen and into the rest of the hallway, it was becoming increasingly clear that the trainees had an escaped specimen on their hands.
And boy were they going to get into a lot of trouble if they didn't get it under control soon. CAPTURE JOVE - All trainees in this mission are responsible for re-capturing Jove before the higher ups find out that they caused a small problem. IF YOU ARE JOVE: - Every time you post, roll a 100-sided dice. This is where you ARE somewhere on Deus Ex. You can roll as many times as you want, but make sure the trainees have a second to REACT to your post before you roll again. Feel free to RP/ roll/react as you wish. 1 - 20: You are now in the dormitory hallways huh, wait, how did you get here? Who cares? RUN. 21- 40: You are in what looks like an open training field. A couple of Hunters stare at you as you run by 41 - 60: You are in the cafeteria. It's rather empty right now, but the wet floor makes it super slippery! 61 - 80: You are close to the infirmaries. Nothing much to do here, though a few Hunters seem to be yelling at you as you run 81 - 100: You are in the dungeons, the cave is super dark and dank, but you're more focused on getting the hell outta here! - - This is now a self-run RP so make as many posts as you like/need/would like, and feel free to plot with other Hunter characters for interactions with your own as you need! IF YOU ARE A TRAINEE- You must CHASE AFTER JOVE AND ATTEMPT TO RECAPTURE HIM. After Jove's post, read their location they are currently in and respond with your trainee attempting your best to capture them in that area. - Feel free to quote other peoples' trainees as you pass by them and involve them in the rp TOO to capture Jove. (Ie: I am Bob, and I want to tag Sally into this RP, I just quote Sally, their trainee can now also chase after Jove) - They can use whatever item at their disposal, good luck! (Though that puppy seems to be super slippery, sigh). You better capture him before the higher ups get pissed.... - If Jove escapes, its too late for you then... - This is now a self-run RP so make as many posts as you like/need/would like, and feel free to plot with Grey as you need for interactions with Jove.

Zooming down the hall with the dumb little fruit foxfire close on his heels, Jove's panicked mind was going a mile a minute. Where should he go? How was he supposed to get back home? Was there even a way to get home, or was he stuck here forever, like those ghosts that haunt the human world? The foxfire behind him had no such qualms, it was just excited at the chase.
Jove veered towards the sterile, surgical smell of what seemed like a veterinarian office, hearing the sound of shouts behind him. He needed somewhere to hide, somewhere dark and cosy... like under a bed. If the human vet's office was in any way similar to vets in Halloween, there would be beds here.

(HUR HUR IGNORE THE DICE ROLL
Dakota watched as the ball of fluff jumped down from the table and take off at high speed. Even worst, he watched it and debated just letting it go.
Then he wouldn't feel so guilty! But then, Julie didn't even notice and that made him feel even worst. What if the pet caused trouble in the island? What if...WHAT IF THE HIGHER UPS SAW IT RUNNING AROUND?
There was no way in hell he was going to deal with another head throwing him into a wall.

"All I'm sayin is that Capture the Flag's a staple," Harrison said. Most of the time he responded to B0nez mentally, but when it was 3-something in the morning and nobody was awake anyhow, he just liked the sound of his own voice. "Any FPS game that's worthwhile-"
He froze. He'd wanted to get a late-night snack, but he hadn't been expecting the place to be slopped with blood.
Or to see a familiar pair of doey, heart-shaped eyes staring out (fiercely) from the corner of a cage.
"Hey!" Harrison said, half-panicked and recognizing some of the other melting, disembowled fuzzy critters that were scattered across the counter. "Julie. What...what's going on? Killer's not supposed to be out of the Life labs."

Damn, the little things were fast! Jordan set the knife on the counter (with a degree of silent relief; hunting predators that killed deliberately was a different matter from gutting a stupid, defenseless little animal thing) and sprinted after the fleeing balls of fur. There'd be all kinds of trouble if they just let the creatures run loose, but maybe they could just stick the things into the tanks down in the petting zoo once they'd been caught. He didn't waste any of his breath yelling at the foxfires. It'd only spook them further.
The minipets went skidding through a doorway leading into the infirmary area, and by the time Jordan got through the door, they had gotten out of sight. "Crap," Jordan muttered, and started looking for the fuzzballs. If they were anything like the tiny dogs they resembled, they'd be looking for a small dark space to cram themselves into. Probably both in the same spot, once they found a suitable place. He started looking under furniture and checking cabinets, one by one.

...And there went the puppies.
A part of Eva was relieved--run, puppies, run!--but the other part of her (and Chara) pointed out that they would all be in deep trouble if they let those things escape. It was that thought that led the young woman to run after Jordan, following him and the minis down towards the infirmary area. And now...
Noting that Jordan was in the process of searching beneath everything, she knelt down at the doorway, attempting to block the path lest anything try to run out. From where she was, she tried her best to search for the pair of foxfires, her gaze sweeping high and low.

It was hard to hear anything through the loud whirr of the eggbeater as Julie began to mix the contents of the bowl furiously. A little belatedly, she noticed Harrison, beaming and waving at them with her free hand, gesturing for him to come closer.
The caged and tied minipets on the counter looked at him sadly.

"I SAID," Harrison started, but the eggbeater was pretty impenetrable. "Aw, hell."
He navigated his way around the blood puddles, feeling like he needed a splashguard. Once he'd made it to Julie's side, his hands were clenched up in fists.
"WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS IN THE LABS!" He repeated.

What Julie heard was pretty much, well, honestly who knows what. Thankfully she stopped the eggbeater. "Hi Stevie, can you bring me those two bagged minipets over there? I'm in the middle of a breakthrough."
The second Harrison even thought of opening his mouth to retort, the eggbeater was on at full speed again. The Moon Hunter trainee might have also stepped over something that looked vaguely like the remains of tentacles while navigating the path of least destruction.
