Riley stared at Yind, cocking his head curiously. He watched her as she worked and copied her movements when the time came for him to try it out. He makes a decent recreation of what she did but it's not perfect, some rough edges here and there.


"Yeah, I'm new here. Guess there really isn't any hiding that." Riley shrugged, not like he was gonna hide it anyway. "Well... I'm Riley." He had noted how the guard had reacted to her. He wanted to question it but he didn't know whether he should at this moment in time.

[Angder]

"Look... I know what your thinking Riley. You probably already have plans... Escape, Public outcry, I know the drill." Yind looks straight at him.

"So? whats the plan new guy? And it better be good I have heard a lot of escape plans." Yind smirks. "Though hell, maybe yours is actually decent."

[Grovygrunge]

Riley shrugged again, continuing to work as he spoke. "No plan to escape at the moment. I just got here. How would I even know what to do in order to get out?"

[Angder]

"then your smarter than the last group." Yind states. "Guy named Angder wanted out pretty badly. Only earlier today he was dragged off... actually it might have been yesterday... not many places in here you can see the sky I am afraid."

Yind points to a worker with mechanical leg further down the conveyor belt. "See him. He was dragged off in a much worse shape, an accident on the conveyor belt, stuck his fingers in a machine. God knows why they replaced his leg." Yind turns back to Riley. "You want to escape. you need a plan, a setup, and you need friends." Yind says simply. "Otherwise you will have issues."

[Grovygrunge]

"Well thank you I guess. Is that you suggesting to be one of those 'friends'? That's awfully forward of you, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth." He went to shake Yind's hand as he had just finished working on something.

[Jacob Hail]

"E-excuse me for being uneasy. I-its my first day on the job." The fox replies, scratching the back of his head and stealing a short glance at Frost. "Do you mind if I atleast spectate? Just to see how operations are done here?"

[Angder]

Yind nods. "I am glad we understand each other I am 121 if you need my number..." Yind pauses for a moment. "That was not quite what I meant to say." Yind sniggers and stands up. "Take care. You do not want to end up with a broken hand on your first day of work."

[Grovygrunge]

Riley sat there and stared in disbelief, he looked extremely confused. "Did you just hit on me? My number is 426 by the way. At least, I think it is."

[Angder]

Yind examines Riley's collar, rubbing off some of the dirt that was already beginning to accumulate on it. "Yea, that's your number..." Yind moves back. "Oh and that was not quite my intention but... well... perhaps I should get to know you first."

[Grovygrunge]

"My thoughts exactly. This isn't exactly the place for such things after all." Riley sighed. "In a dingy, oppressive factory... Is anyone here because they want to be?"

[Angder]

"Some of the guards... most of the medics..." Yind states. "Basically the worst of the worst... though I would get comfortable, after all this is where they want you to spend your entire life" Yind sighs, "honestly for the majority of us, we take whatever we can get to make life bearable." Yind points to another worker, a small fox turning a hand crank. "That machine is not reliable, most days a screw falls out, and the engineers find it easier to put a new one in due to friction warping the original. So that guy, 257, he collects them. Puts them under his sack, and hordes the damn things. Says someday he will have enough to... I don't know trade it with a guard or build his own gun or something, in truth its an obsession, he does it because its the thing that keeps him sane. That's why the factory has not stopped him doing it."

"You see we all have our coping mechanisms down here." Yind states. "I should get going. I think the guards are getting restless"

[Tina]

Anny was getting bored. She was sucking on another sucker and the working on the assembly line. No one knew where she got her candy and she often handed them out to those who wanted one. Unfortunately she only had one friend and he wasn't here for right now. He was busy else where at the moment. So for now she decided to do her work as best she could, but her dent kept bother her. There days where it was just really itchy and today was one of them.

[Grovygrunge]

"Well, hopefully I won't be here long enough to need a way to cope with it. Definitely won't be here for my whole life either, not a chance in hell. They're lucky I'm bothering to cooperate right now..." Riley waved to Yind then went back to work. "Alright, go and do whatever you need to before the guards decide to kick someone's ass. They seem particularly fond of doing that from what I've seen." Someone so friendly in a place like this and they happen to be the first person I meet. What are the odds of that? Wonder how genuine she is.

[Angder]

Yind smiles, and walks back to her work station.

Need to keep an eye on that one... She thinks to herself. Seems like exactly the sort they want me to keep out of trouble... or drop into it.

[Cinder42]

Frost cocked her head at the newcomer, blinking silently for a few seconds. She stepped towards him, her wide eyes narrowing in scrutiny as she circled him like a prowling cat. She neared his face, her nose twitching before her face broke into one of almost cartoonish disgust. "No.... sorry cutie-pie, but you smell like the factory floor, and look like you carried it in on you too." She poked his face, not noticing the oil that came away on her paw. "Old blood is one thing, but we don't want any of that floor-sludge up in our operations! Clean yourself up or sit in the corner!" She barked, turning swiftly back to her work, where she immediately stopped to fan girl over the new breathing apparatus.

"This thing is great!" She squealed excitedly "We'll have him fixed up good as new, maybe then he can even start training with my Andgy!'
