Weird Science

[Aconitum]

Magnolia rubbed her eyes and hugged her knees. "You got us into this mess." She cried. "I-if we wait long enough, maybe the director will come save us."

Acon shrugged. "I wanted to let you into an arena with another one of my subjects but we must wait until he's awake."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "Suit yourself." He tore his jumpsuit apart, and did his best to create a hollow cocoon. After a few moments, he sighed. "I can't do it, I don't have enough fabric." Ray tried different shapes, but to no avail.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia pressed buttons on the band that was strapped to her wrist. She shook with fear as tears ran down her cheeks.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and stuck his arm inside the cocoon. "Miss, would you like to teach these fools a lesson?" He held his paw to Magnolia.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia looked at Ray with an eye of hatred. "How?

[Rayleonarde]

Ray chuckled. "Light is fleeting..." He opened the cocoon slightly, showing that it was pitch black inside. "But shadows are forever."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia turned away from Ray. "Do what you want. I wanna go home."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray slid into the cocoon, as the shadows engulfed him. "Suit yourself...I was planning on taking you back...but..." He slowly sank into the darkness, paw outstretched.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia ignore Ray, still facing the other direction.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and stepped out of the darkness. "I can't leave you here...not alone." He pulled the cocoon apart and put the lower half of his jumpsuit on. The upper portion was torn to pieces. Ray sat across the room from Magnolia, looking at the floor.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia turned and smiled at Ray "I knew you couldn't leave me."

[Ben]

"I've got all day"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "Not with a clean conscious."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia scooted closer to Ray and folded her paws in her lap. "So... why did you leave?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "Too many questions, not enough answers. So, I left to find myself."
