(Mkay, so creeperstein's ordered his goons after the experiments. I guess if they're mobile, it's time to rally the troops. When you guys are done talking with Xero about Lily, I'll pop in to tell you they're coming. Since Hex has the best hearing, she'll sense it from when the jeeps start. ))

((Hm, not much action, so I'll put in backstory about Hex in the Habitat)) Hex sat alone, staring at the ground and thinking.She hated the labcoats. She hated what they were doing, hated their lack of compassion for any of the people they'd toyed with and hurt for their ambitions, hated what they'd put Vi through and hated that no one outside was doing anything to find out where all the missing had gone, to research and find out what the company was doing. She also hated herself for lying to Lionel and Xero about her name. She could never tell them that it was a labcoat who had given her that name, who was kind to her in the four years between her arrival as Hildegarde and that labcoat's death... She hated the labcoats for what they'd done when Hex's mutation didn't take.No matter what medicines could do to reverse her genetic changes, what they'd done could never be fixed... She sat there in silence, remembering the years of isolation in the labs as she'd been tested. 'Bite down on this so we can gauge your jaw strength,' a woman said politely, a sensor in one hand and a taser gun in the other. Her labcoat was there, adding in a whisper, 'If you do better than last time I'll sneak you a treat later.' 'Here ninety-three, catch these rodents for us while we time you,' a man suggested jovially, buckling a shock collar around her neck. Again that labcoat was present, saying nothing but winking and deactivating the highest setting of the collar. Always they acted like you were a patient at a doctor's office, just taking a few tests to see what was wrong with you, while they were truly despising what they'd created as below them. And then the day came when Hex went in for another endurance test, and there was no kindness. No hope of a word not spoken in venomous tones or a pat on the head as she beat her last numbers and was allowed to leave. According to the man who put her in a miniature environment for a game of cat and mouse, her labcoat had been 'removed' from the company for fraternizing with the experiments. Tears of hate and loss had streaked her bloodied face as she ran through the mini habitat, pursued by three labcoats and their weapons. In the two years since that day she had almost never spoken, especially not to the labcoats, who she rebelled against at every chance, and she had not once cried. But now, remembering losing her only friend, and herself, for nothing more than the petty satisfaction of the so-called scientists who'd created a hundred 'successful' mutated experiments, she found herself brushing tear from her eyes with the back of her hand. She'd heard about the jailbreak, and she wanted to help, but she feared she was truly defective as an experiment. As her tail had grown out the labcoats had marveled at the bone structure as she lay twisted in pain in a cage. When her hair had turned silver and her new ears had been added through many grafts and forced continued mutation, they had applauded their success. They were fascinated by her long canines, her muscle mass, the morphing of the color in her irises, the flexibility of her spine and tail... But her mutation would go no further despite the attempts at egging on her cells. It turns out that her labcoat had been slipping her supplements of the very drugs they'd been trying to mutate her cells with. She'd had four years as they were busy testing and prodding to build up an immunity to their toxins. Hex also had become immune to poisons, as they'd tested with snake, spider, and jellyfish venoms, rat poisons, and injections of household chemicals. When she figured out what had happened, she thought they'd kill her, but they just sighed and shook their heads. They'd tried again, with x-rays detailing her almost totally human bone structure and chemical tests. Out of habit she touched the scars on the sides of her head, trying to remember her human ears. The mutation wasn't taking care of them, and despite grafts, her new ones were coming along too slowly for the labcoats liking. So they'd cut them off with a scalpel, taking the flesh for DNA analysis and leaving her deaf and bleeding in her miniature habitat hell. It had taken a month of fearful silence, painful healing, and steady mutation before she heard another word, the first ringing in her new ears... 'Ninety-three.' Because that had worked so well, the coats wondered if it would do for another body part. So a month later they'd next removed two toes from her right foot. But there was nothing but pain and hatred in her any longer. There were no sedatives, no drugs to mask the pain, no help to stop the bleeding or aid her in moving about. Even with the higher doses of mutagens, no wolf attributes emerged. After the wounds had healed, she'd had intense pain for a week... and her toes had grown back. Some combination of the drugs, mutagens, poisons, animal genetics, and pain had borne fruit. But why? Wouldn't a lizard mutation have a higher chance of something like that? She almost wished they'd done that sooner, so that her human ears could have grown back. The labcoats patted themselves on the back and harvested DNA to test the regeneration on something else, but her genetic code was destructive, and killed anything it was introduced to... Hex feared that the labcoats had used it on her friend. After another attempt at mutating a new experiment with her blood went awry and ended in the deaths of the experiment and a labcoat, her DNA was taken for study in the lab. They'd drawn blood more times in the past two years than they had in the previous four while she was in her various stages of animal mutation. But now she wasn't human, or wolf. She was afraid of herself. Of what would be done with her now. Hex pulled away from her memories, putting her head on her knees and wishing she was more useful to the other experiments. But she had nothing but brute strength, pain and hatred on her side. She sighed and stared at the ground again, almost wishing also that she had someone to talk to.

"I say we take care of it, Xero, Lionel" Hex smiled, showing her fangs. "Funny name for a bird~" She looked up at the false sun. "I'm also anxious to see the true world. This environment is fake. Even the sun is cold..." She thought to herself for a minute, scratching the scars under the sides of her short hair. "I guess you can know my name too. It's Hex... Well, not really. Another experiment gave me that nickname so I could be a hex to the labcoats... One I intend to avenge." She blinked, scratching her ear. "Sorry, tangent... It's uh... Hildegarde, actually." She glanced at the form coming closer, but didn't join the crowd that milled around Vivi. She killed the other experiment, she realized. Hex stayed back as the girl ignored the others and fell asleep. What happens if she becomes a pawn to the labcoats...?

Hex rubbed her neck in annoyance as the labcoats drove off with Vivi. She didn't retaliate when she'd been struck, and it had taken all of her willpower not to. There were too many there to deal with without endangering Vivi... and she wasn't about to let the girl be hurt further. Cracking her back and glancing at the swift who had retaliated at Jae, one of the labcoats she despised, she listened to the experiment's conversation. "Hey, Vi's strong. If I know her, she'll win... but the other one. Can we let him or her be killed? If we allow them to pit Vivi against their failures, they'll just keep using her..." Her ears flattened against her head and she clenched her fists by her sides. "How dare those bastards call US inhuman. The only monsters I've seen are the ones doing all this to children!" She growled under her breath and glared at the ground. "Someone's got to stop this before it gets even worse..." She looked up at Lionel. "What's your name?"

pizza.

Hex stood outside Xero's den, listening to the conversation the other experiments were having. I knew Vi was being targeted... Her ears perked up at the sound of a jeep coming near. Shit... She dove into a bush beside the path, watching with annoyed grey eyes as Vivi was summoned to the vehicle. No... They can't test that shit on her! It doesn't work, dammit! The wolf stood and walked beside Vivi, who took no visible notice of her. "Oi, labcoat-creeps! Whattaya think you're doin' with her? Are we gonna have problems? Cause if you think you're gonna test "The Experiment" on her, you'll have to tranquilize me again, or I'll start acting like the monster you made me." She snarled at the scientists, her ears down and her tail up in a gesture of challenge.

My sister just got into this. Tom Kenny is my main reason for watching. I love Ice King and Marcelline... And I found out it was based on the Dungeons and Dragons adventures the writers wanted to do while they were busy writing xD I used to avoid it like the plague because it was super-hyped up and I assumed it was as trippy as The Regular Show. But it's pretty good for a kids' cartoon.

Hex walked back to her napping spot, stomping down the mutated grass to squash it and clear a space to lay. She curled up and lay there with her eyes open, touching the scars on the sides of her head. She couldn't fall asleep.

Hex started awake as she heard a light clanking. She glanced at Vivi, who was now awake. "Mind your own business," the girl said, walking away. Hex watched for a minute, her ears flattened against her head, as the bird guy followed her. Then she sighed and stood, stretching and shoving her hands in her pockets. She followed silently for a bit behind them, knowing they'd likely noticed her there. She heard the swift say a few things to her, heard mention of a name. But she'd only followed for one reason. "I helped you because you needed it, Vi. Don't push away aid from those who would give it. There are not many here who would offer it." She scratched her ear, then stopped and stared at her hand, remembering what had happened to her human ears, why her hair had grown over where they had been and she let it get no longer... "Look, next time they call you in for a test, tell them ninety three's observing you. They'll understand." They'd better. It had been a while since she'd seen an experiment that battered. She remembered her own treatment, and how she'd been dodging tests in the habitat for weeks on end after springing a cat from the lab and 'removing' some dangerous chemicals they'd been using on her... "But whatever, if you want me out of your business, I'm gone." She turned and walked away, leaving the birds to their devices, though she did glance back worriedly at the small girl. "I'll just have to play with the labcoats new toys now..."

She'd been curled up, napping in the tall grass near the 'stream' of the habitat, when she began to hear hushed whispers. Hex folded her hands over her fluffy ears, pressing them against her short grey hair. Probably a ways off and still troublesome. Her hearing was so sensitive that she tended to stay away from groups of other experiments, especially when they got to talking, or worse, squawking... She shivered a bit and stretched up on all fours before standing and glancing in the direction of the voices. It didn't sound like they were enjoying what they discussed, and the tone was familiar... Then Hex remembered the hooded girl. She was an even later experiment than herself, and Hex remembered seeing some of her data when she was in the experimental stage of her modifications, testing her capabilities. Pygmy Owl, if she remembered correctly. She sighed and scratched her ear, now flattened in annoyance at the immature experiments. She ambled to where she figured the girl would be, her tail swishing behind her lackadaisically. But when she saw her, Hex clenched her teeth, cursing the labcoats under her breath. It pissed her off when they toyed with the experiments. It may have been her pack mentality which ironically they'd created that caused her to resent them this way, but since she'd been in the Habitat she'd seen terrible things happen. And she was sick of it. Hex was about to approach the prone girl when another figure appeared. Agh, another bird... She hoped he wouldn't squawk while she was in the proximity... And she glanced back, wondering whether she should approach now that another had taken unbiased notice of the small girl. Hex sighed and shook her head, weaving through the crowd of onlookers and growling at those who were talking about Experiment 99, her ears flattened against her head. The fur on her tail bristled as she reached the two, one standing and the other prone. Hex glanced at the boy who was prodding Vivi but said nothing as she knelt beside the girl, checking her pulse for bird-like regularity and taking a look at the source of the blood on her legs. "What have they done to you now?" she breathed, cleaning off the blood with a rag from her pocket.

I learned recently that my IQ is around 140. Or it was when I was seven... Want to get it tested again~

I'm not a big fan of either of these two. Both have personality types and flaws that I don't appreciate. Okiya/Shuuichi is my favorite male character. And Bourbon, but only the ooc version from my fanfic xP BUT I feel that Shinichi has matured more as Conan and developed as a character into a better person than he used to be. So of the two I'd pick Conan/Shinichi. I don't appreciate the 'Gentleman Thief' shtick.

The Hobbit. <3 Although every time I saw young Bilbo I thought, "The late Dent, Arthur Dent?"

Probably Bleach~

I don't know how to get it... I never use it when I'm recording either, so I don't know how to add it either.

Here I'll be posting my covers of music from Hayao Miyazaki's movies~ For now I've only got a partial of Kaze Ni Naru. I have a sore throat and couldn't do anything else when I was recording~ http://youtu.be/_L-89sQymfg Yeah, this isn't Studio Ghibli xP But I figured I wouldn't make another thread just for this~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv3JaPDRrDA
