There's no point in 'coming to terms' with the fact that I am an experiment. When you are a mutant, there are no terms. There is just reality: lights reflected off of the cold metal bars and the bitter smell and taste of antiseptic that, after a while, numbs your senses-- but still, you never grow accustomed to it.
Maybe, because you're meant for something else.
I am. I am meant to be free: to stalk and hunt and be free from the confines of this ridiculous prison and the menial 'workouts' those idiots put me through.
Always, always it's: "Tell us the truth of how you feel, it's a focal point for our studies." That's all I am. I am the focal point of their studies.
Screw that, I say. I am my own focal point. I'll be the subject of my own studies. So, ask away. I'll be the resultant in an experiment that I hold the cards to.
Um, do you have a tail? - Fang
For a fun twist, let's apply the scientific theory that we are so familiar with.
Step one: Ask a question. You've done that, my fine feathered friend.
"Do you have a tail?"
Step two: Do background research.
We know that I am a human-feline hybrid, with roughly 7% being feline.
We know that human-avian hybrids, with roughly only 2% being avian, acquire wings and a variety of other powers.
I think that will do for the sake of this experiment.
Step three: Construct a hypothesis.
I will infer, based on the aforementioned question, that you have heard rumours that I do have a tail. So, assuming this, you think I have a tail, but aren't entirely certain, thus the reason for this question.
Step four: Test with an experiment.
So, here's how the experiment works. I'll look over my shoulder and see whether or not a large black thing is protruding from my tail bone.
Are you ready for this?
ONE, TWO, THREE!
Golly gee whiz, would you look at that! I do have a tail! We never could have guessed that at the begining!
Step five: Draw a conclusion.
Of course I have a tail, you feather brained idiot. Avains get wings, and felines get tails and ears. We're that special.What did you think we had, whiskers?
Step six: report results.
Tell the rest of your flock that felines have tails. I am sure they will marvel at the quickness of your mind.
On an end note, I must say that I am sure the whitecoats would be proud at our aptitude for science. At least we learned something from those jellyfish.
do you eat mice?`Gazzy
Do you eat mice?
Do you prefer the chill of winter, or the warmth of summer? - Gaia
Good question. It's a shame I can't answer this since I've lived in a cage my whole life.
Way to go.
Judging by the key words chill and warmth-- I am fairly certain that I would like summer, as chilly weather makes my tail stiff.
