"Everyone can be. People are even allergic to flowers, which is dangerous, right?" he replied to her. "If you keep thinking like that, you'll just get even more scared you'll hurt someone!" He scratched in between his fins with one hand, stopping quickly so as to not look rude.

[Murtox]

Well he saw enought now it was time to present himself to the others and he will start with Mellisandre because they both are hybrids of reptilian category so he supposed it was going to be easier to comunicate with her,but she was speak with Jacky or atleast that was what he saw , no problem for him he aproched Mellisandre and say.@ViolentViolet

-Hi Mellisandre i am a half reptilian hybrid like you and i heared that you think you could danger someone , but i am one of hardest here so dont worry -

The gates slowly opened and a large truck hauling a large trailer came into view."Go and get Jerric, quickly! Tell him one has ran behind."
"Yes sir!" The guard ran as fast as he possibly could, entering the mansion and catching up with the crowd. "Jerric, Sir! There... a large trailer... Running late... I assume...." The guard was huffing and puffing. He was leaning on his knees. "I was... I was told to tell you... it was running late... I don't know if... its of importance."
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The truck came to a halt and the engine was quickly shut off. The driver left the vehicle and with an assault rifle in hand made his way to the back of the trailer. A few more highly equipped men surrounded the door that would fall soon. "Quickly! Create a perimeter and maintain distance! Do not let your guard down men!" The man that spoke seemed to be some kind of leader or officer. He looked back at the gate and made sure it closed before signaling to open the door. As soon as the door slammed to the ground, the two men that opened it backed up and raised their weapons quickly in syn with the others near the end of the door. A man with a clip board was standing behind the line and began to read off of it.
"Name, Shadow.
Age, 23.
Height, 8 foot 3.
Weight, 376 pounds.
Family, canidae.
Threat level, highly dangerous."

Silence filled the air for what seemed like hours on end. Some of the men made weird faces into the dark trailer. From the back of the trailer, heavy, steady footsteps were hitting the reinforced steel and one of the men managed to jump a little out of fear. The screech, like chalk screeching on chalk board, came from the middle of the trailer and stopped near the end with the foot steps. Dark orange eyes opened and gazed back at the line of men who were armed. A deep calm voice escaped from the trailer. "Ahhh, never trust the men in white lab coats. They lie often." The man with the clipboard didn't respond immediately. "Step out of the trailer Shadow, this is your home now."

When everyone began to move Thresh stayed farther behind in an effort to gain some sense of solitude. There was just too many people, besides the odd Cajun no one came to his area of the swamp, especially the inferior gators. Thresh didn't like it, they were too loud, they all smelled weird, and they were NOT like him. The only one he could vaguely identify was the one who drew close upon herself with her tail. Snack? Snake? Whatever she was he could see the similarities but again, not the same.

The scowl didn't change but a deep rumbling growl summoned itself deep within his chest, he did not like it here.

[Puffhead]

Jerrics eyes widened at the mans comment before he nodded and quickly loped outside faster than he had moved since anyone had even showed up. If he was correct, this was the one he had been warned about: Shadow. There were certainly more dangerous. hybrids here, but none had shown the absolute hostility this one had. Honestly. Jerric wasn't even positive he could contain Shadow by himself , but he had to do what he could. "Everyone stay there !" He called behind himself as he left the manor, quickly showing up next to the guards just in time to see the massive creature exit . "Shadow right?" He stated calmly, slowly walking towards him. "I'm Jerric."

Armaldo nervously stepped out of the truck he had come in wearing the strange white chest covering and gray leg coverings. It seemed other human things like him were also here but they were very different. There were the guard humans he had already met. Now however there were many other human things, but they were very different. So many human things he didn't know where to start. Some of the human things had flesh bags on their chests for some reason. Armaldo listened to one of the human things talk, in English. How did he know that? Armaldo probed the back of his mind searching for memories, English, he knew that. It was how to talk to other human things.

He sidled his way around the majority of people, his bare feet falling gently on the dirt, partly hunched over ready to curl into a ball if need be, he had once encountered an angry bear in the forest while looking for a berry patch and had been forced to curl up until it went away. Armaldo slowly made his way to the human thing with a flesh bag and something else what was word? Ah yes tail. "Hello Human thing." he said rather roughly the sound almost grating as it come out of his mouth, it had been many years since he had spoken a word and he coughed briefly before resuming. "What kind of human thing are you?" Armaldo inquired while adjusting the looking things on his eyes, his milky white eyes peering curiously at the human thing. The human thing seemed either impatient or like it wanted to be left alone, he would find out soon enough.

"Do you honestly think your weapons threaten me? Shadow slowly stepped out of the trailer, a few men got shaky while others backed up. Some other hybrid ran up with another guard. He calmly introduced himself and began to walk towards him. "Well Jerric, its no use to act calm now. I can smell your fear." He chuckled an evil chuckle and walked towards him just as slowly. There were two directions this could go, and Shadow was hoping the path of violence would win.

"Fear?" He murmured in a soft chuckle before nodding. "Yeah I guess I'm a bit afraid, but look at yourself. You're kind of intimidating my large friend." He promised with a shrug, his large arms extending out widely in both directions. Jerric always thought of himself as a laid back guy... It might have been because he was 40% sloth though. "Either way, no need to be too hostile, so long as you come willingly."

The hulking lizard-man was quickly forgotten with the arrival of the next hybrid: a massive creature that was clearly more man than wolf. More than the size of him, Kara was immediately weary of the look in the eye of this 'Shadow'. The creature seemed relaxed on the surface, but it was pretty clear he was still poised to attack at any moment- seemingly unafraid of the multitude of guns pointed at his person.

Kara hadn’t really thought about what kind of creatures she would be put in with, and she was quickly realising that she couldn’t have anticipated any of this. The air of menace that came from Shadow reminded her off the guard dogs that often guarded warehouses- the kind that were kept vicious and hungry enough to tear into anyone that would set foot within their reach and didn’t even have the state of mind to retreat even if their lives depended on hit. She didn’t know much about their ‘training’ other than that it took a lot of applied violence to morph an animal into a state of violence than only humans seemed to deal in.

As Jerric recklessly ran over to the wolf-man, Kara maneuvered herself until the big lizard-man was between her and the wolf. Should it come down to a fight, she’d rather not get caught between the heavyweights.

The girl watched the boy while he spoke, a really small smiles touching her lips for a moment while she watched him scratch between his fins. "I'm not a flower." Melisandre said to him though she couldn't help but laugh quietly at how awkward he was and how hard he tried to make her feel welcome. "Thank you though." The snake girl reached up and touched her own face for a moment, her fingers coming away wet with the poison that often seeped from her pours though she wiped it off on her clothing before the reptilian man walked over to her.@Murtox She was hesitant, her tail coiling and moving her back away from the man slightly. He was large and covered in scales, though he seemed friendly she was still frightened by the behemoth that had walked up to her. She didn't say anything in response to him, only dropped her gaze to the grassy ground beneath them.

The woman sat alone on the roof of the porch, waiting impatiently, her leopard paws clawing at the air while she waited, swinging them back and forth as if she was sitting on top of a cliff. She saw the boy walk out of the truck and over to her, his gaze travelling upward until he found her sitting alone. Her fur ruffled in the wind and when the thing spoke she lifted up her legs and pushed off of the roof to flip in the air and land next to the boy. He was smaller than her, hunched and timid, obviously unused to conversing with others whereas she almost always spoke to the hikers and campers in her mountains before she killed them. Consuming human flesh had never gotten her sick either, with the amount of leopard DNA she had in her. "Snow Leopard."

Armis's truck was in the back. As the armed guards approached the truck to let her out, the truck began to shake horribly, like something on the inside was trying to get out. After seeing the other hybrids, none of the guards were going to take the chance on something like that. They all readied their weapons and approached the back of the truck cautiously. When they slid the door back what they saw flabbergasted them all. The inside of the truck was lined with a double layer of books and there was a six foot tall lizard woman who would skitter on all fours to one side of the truck, quickly lifting it'self onto its back legs, checking something in one of the books, then promptly skittering back to the other side to check something else. All the while she was muttering to herself about authors and genres. In the middle of all of this there sat a single guard in a chair, just calmly watching. one of the guards from the outside asked in a very confused and tentative voice," Uh... is everything okay in there?"
The guard on the inside just sighed and put his thumb and forefinger to the bridge of his nose before replying," Yeah, everything is good. just don't.... Don't ask her about what books she likes."
The large hybrid stopped and in the middle of the truck with two books in each hand and said in an exasperated tone," That's it, this whole mess needs to be reorganized." Then she set about collecting all of her books together and still muttering to herself. The guard in the chair let out a groan. "She's done this four times already."
One of the guards from outside lowered his weapon and the rest followed suit. He climbed into the back of the truck and approached the hybrid before saying. "Uh... ma'am?"
She, still moving about the truck, repplied, "Oh, please I'm not a ma'am, I'm only seventeen. Just call me Armis."
The guard seemed a bit shocked at her eloquence but continued all the same. "Alright, Armis. Well, you've arrived at the facility-"
Armis didn't give him time to reply as she shot out of the truck letting out something like "omhygoshohmygoshomygosh"
She saw the facility and let out a squeel of glee. An actual school! she couldn't wait to get started learning.
She noticed a large group of students at the front of the shcool and before she skittered after them, she called back to the guards ,"could you please put those someplace safe?"
Armis continued to the rest of the conglomeration of hybrids, but when she got close she found that she lost all of what she had wanted to say. she got nervous, and couldn't speak. So she awkwardly stood around the rest of the hybrids, trying to think of something to say.

Armaldo flinched backwards when the human thing jumped into the air and backed away a little from its landing spot. "What snow? Oh and why fleshbags on chest?" he asked poking one of the fleshbags in question they were very soft but didn't seem to have any other function he could see. He was getting better at talking around, the gritty sound already decreasing in volume after a sentence or two, it seemed this English wasn't such a strange thing after all and he was remembering more words the more he talked. A leopard was a cat thing, or at least that's what Armaldo thought he rememberd about it. Cat things had fur and tails and claws and teeth. He didn't know what snow was though, the cabin he had been in was too low elevation with too warm of a climate for snow. Hopefully cat thing would tell him, though it didn't seem to like talking very much. Armaldo also looked at the Cat thing's hair, it was a sort of silver. His was only a brown, hmm another mystery.

[ViolentViolet]

The leopard woman did not appreciate the boy reaching out and touching her breast, one of her hands flashing out to sway aside his hand not very gently. "Breasts. Touch again and I'll kick you into next week." She threatened him, her pointed canine teeth showing as she snarled at him. Sure he was young but the least he could do was not touch what didn't belong to him or wasn't invited to touch. She hated being touched by other people, especially boys who didn't know what they were ding at all, though at the mention of the threat one of the guards looked at her and she smirked at him, letting out a low growl that started even the highly trained soldier. "You'll see soon enough." She answered armadillo boys question without really caring or putting much effort into his education - why should it be her problem? She wasn't his mother.

Jacky moved away from Melisandre, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable. "I wish Gramma was here, she would have been nice to talk to..." he muttered, sitting down and waiting for the group to start moving again. He carefully positioned his tail so he wouldn't crush it underneath him. "Maybe after I'm done doing whatever this is, I can go back and tell Gramma all the cool stuff I'll do!" he thought, smiling at nobody in particular.

[Eklispe]

@ViolentViolet Armaldo backed away very quickly letting out a small noise of surprise as his hand was swept away and the cat thing snarled at him. Cat things were mean, he would keep that in mind. He very nearly curled into a ball, he was frightened that the cat thing would attack him. Armaldo kept a safe distance and contemplated. The fleshbags were called breast and were not to be touched. Also the Cat thing kicked things. Looking at other human things he noticed others that had these "Breasts". It seemed they varied largely in size, also there were many human things without breasts. Besides that they were very little similarities. There was even a human thing with no legs. Armaldo sat on the ground thinking this over. He was suspicious of what Cat thing said, He would find out soon?? It seemed Cat thing wasn't very nice so far so it probably wouldn't say nice things, "Are they dangerous?" he asked cautiously pointing at them carefully keeping a safe distance in case it became for aggressive.

Shadow repeated after him. "So long as I come willingly?" A low, slightly loud growl bellowed from deep within him. He got slightly closer to the sloth-man. "Is that a threat?" Shadow's fangs were shown slightly as he moved towards Jerric. "You should know how I feel about threats." Shadow was in front of him know. He turned him gently and gripped his shoulders lightly. "Do you see these men?" He whispered as his head and upper body lowered to the sloth-mans height. "They are all pissing themselves. They are surrounded by freaks like you and me, one shot would scare us, but nothing would be felt but recoil on their end." Shadow's head moved slowly to the other side of Jerric's head. "They control you..." He gripped Jerric's shoulders tighter and tighter as he spoke. "And you fear things. Me? I don't fear a damn thing." He chuckled lightly and let him go, he went towards the trailer, where he would feel most comfortable for now.

[Puffhead]

@GodOfChaos
For the entire time the wolf-man stared at Jerric, he didn't move a single muscle, seemingly fearlessly staring down the creature. Fearless was not, however, what. Jerric was feeling as the creature gripped his shoulders so tightly he almost felt they were going to burst out of socket. No he was beyond terrified, every part of his brain, both animal and human, screaming at him to run and run fast, to get the hell away from this killing machine in front of him. Jerrics human side of the brain won out over the animal, convincing him to stand his ground and show no fear in the face of the wolf because he understood that if he did , it would mean his death and a downfall for the small amount of peace he had been able to create. Once the creature released him and slowly walked back towards its dark abode he slowly closed his eyes, every single muscle in his body more tense than he could possibly imagine. He had survived, at least for now . "Let him stay in the trailer for now." He called out, though his voice cracked slightly from the fear still gripping his spine. "I'll go take care of the others." And with that he began to slowly shamble off back towards the manor . What was he supposed to do with Shadow? A creature like that would be difficult a best to reason with.

[TheBrightestEyes]

Jacky looked out the open door and saw the sloth guy coming back. What was his name? Jerric? Maybe he could walk next to him. He seemed one of the friendliest out of everyone in the group. Jacky got up, his tail swishing behind him as he went to meet Jerric by the door.
@Puffhead

[Puffhead]

Jerric spotted the newcomer and gave a weak smile, hoping that his shaken up expressions weren't too obvious. "Hey there!" He greeted cheerfully, absently running his claws through his ruffled hair. "Is everyone ready for the tour do you think?"

After the truck carrying shadow drove away a few minutes afterwards a new truck was driving up. It had two military grade jeeps driving in front and behind the truck and the truck itself seemed unique. It looked like someone had put the frame of the back of the truck and put it on top of the cover of it. The truck and the jeeps pulled in. Guards dressed in heavy, military grade, armor painted black with M16 on hand got out of the cars and headed over to the truck prepping it to be opened. One of them walked over handing a clipboard to Jerric that read:

Name: Reynard Cairo, AKA Fox
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Weight: 183 lb
Height: 6 foot 2
Threat level: Highly dangerous

The guard quickly fell back into position and the door to the truck opened. It was now clear why the truck looked so funny, they basically to a armored truck and flipped it inside out. What didn't make much sense was the man coming out of the truck.

He still had his normal clothes on but they chained him like they would do to a criminal. He had metal cuffs with a metal bar about a foot long attaching the cuffs together. Then there was a chain attach to the bar which was also attached to the cuffs around his feet which only allowed him to walk. This setup also made it it impossible for him to lift his arms above his belly. His ears and tail were showing but he didn't give the slightest sign of danger, beside looking like he's pissed off, but you could tell the guards were very nervous, if not anxious.

He to a step off the truck and 7 of the guards, with there guns ready, surrounded him from all sides but the front. The one in the back shoved him forward and he stumbled forward and then continue walking. They led him up to Jerric so that he could introduce himself. When he reached jarric he just starred at him with his cold red eyes waiting for him to say something.
