Wishing to be Anywhere but Here ((planned))

[Xelious]

"Yeah... I am," he admitted. "They could hurt me... they could kill me. But... if I stay locked in here as my only other choice? Never see the sky again unless I do what they want and get turned into one of their little hunting and killing machines?" He shook his head. "That's not living. If I'm stuck in here for the rest of my life, I'm dead already."

"I won't blame you if you don't want to come because of that. I won't blame you at all. I hope you will, though."

He sighed. "I... I can't get anything. They never let me out of here. I... I can look for things, see what we need to do, but I can't get anything. Which means we're limited to what they give you." He looked at her workbench. "What is it they have you working on?"

A sudden burning passion entered Ruby upon Xelious mention of her not going with him? She may be scared, she may be terrified but she didn't care, Ruby wanted to be free more than anything else right now and nothing, not even fear could stop her.

"I'm going with you Mr Xelly, I want to be free and see Emmy again, nothing is going to stop me,"Ruby stated confidently.

Ruby paused for a moment going back over to the workbench and retrieving all of her tools as well as the schematic. She gazed at the complicated thing for a moment, ears flat to her head. Ruby's stuffed rabbit's paw fell onto the description of the object, which made Ruby look at it more closely now. Her eyes widened when she gazed at it as if seeing it for the first time, this new revelation would change Ruby's work ethic on this thing, thats for sure. No it can't be, I can't make this! This is horrible! Ruby cried out in her mind.

"Mr Xelly, this is bad!" Ruby exclaimed, her heart beating fast. "This collar they are forcing me to make is some kind of Disciplinary collar, It shocks you every time you don't do what the user says! Now only that but they want me to install this weird hook on it and from what it looks like the thing can link directly into your brain and giving them complete control of your body!"

Ruby was now panicking at this point, not believing she was forced to make something this horrible, this sinister, this evil! Who in the world could think of something like this?! Ruby asked herself in her mind

However, Ruby's thoughts were answered by the scientist approving the project, Dr Percy Fusionist, his signature at the bottom of the paper. Ruby then noticed a list of numbers on the other side underneath the words Test Group.

"Mr Xelly...do you recognize any of the numbers? Mine isn't on there." Ruby told him, her voice sounding relieved.

[Xelious]

Xelious sighed, looking at the list. "Yeah, I recognize that one," he said, pointing at one in particular. "That one would be me." He shook his head. Wonderful. We have a timeframe to work on now.

"I need to know two things right now, Ruby. First of all, how long will it take you to finish that thing. Second... If it's going to be soon, I need something sharp. Doesn't have to be big, just... something sharp."

"And... what else do they have you working on?"

[Electricfox]

Ruby Shrugged, ears still flat against her head. "Well I am working on a few small robots, button pushing ones, bottle opening ones and Magnetic ones.," Ruby told him with a tilt of her head over to the side. The Robots were not too complicated or difficult, they wouldn't take her that long to make, unless she needed them to be that long. Ruby would be able to prolong her inventions if need be, just so she would be able to to escape without as much of a hassle with the evil collars.

"I havent started on the collar yet, I'm not cut out for making things that don't have robotic parts in them." Ruby responded with a slight pout forming on her lips. "But I suppose it will come in handy in this case, I may just end up hitting my finger so I won't have to work won't I?"

The grin on Ruby's face was that of a crafty fox but it was similar to that of a wolfish grin her elder sister would often give to Xel when she was up to no good. It was truely, a Lupin family grin and it seemed to suit them well.

[Xelious]

"Stall that one as much as you can," he told her, trying to come up with some sort of plan in his head. "And... well, keep your eyes open for any projects that could help us get out of here. I'll think of something." I hope I will, at least.

He smiled at the little fox girl. "You look so much like your sister, did you know that?" he asked, giving her an utterly affectionate look.

[Electricfox]

"Right, I will do what I can." Ruby responded, clenching her fist as if showing a defiance to the men who had taken her away from her family all those years ago. Ruby was ready to see her older sister again as well, secretly hoping she was the same wolfishly grinning, overprotective goof ball she was when they were younger. The Fox girl remembered the time that the two bloodhound boys took her stuffed rabbit, kicking dirt on her new dress and as soon as she started to cry she remembered that howl she heard before the boys were attacked by her older sister. The Small girl giggled at the thought of how many people it took to pull the furious girl off of the boys. This made Ruby wonder, had Emerald really changed?

"Is she....different?" Ruby asked with a small arch of her brow. "Do you think she will be the same fun big sister I had when I was little? The one who always protected me, read me bed time stories and made me laugh by tearing up Daddy's shoes? I'm worried that she will be really diffrent" Ruby confessed, ears flat to her head again.

((Help me out here Xel for a conversation because Im starting to get braindead))

[Xelious]

Xelious smiled. "She's herself. I wouldn't say she's changed any more than you, or me... or anyone else who grows up."

He sighed. We need to get out of here... "I'll let you judge for yourself once we're out of here, though. Which... well, hopefully won't be too long." And which hopefully I'll be here for, he thought. The idea of these collars disconcerted him, his only hope really was that they got out of here before they had a working model.
