Now I was stuck in a cage, by a certain annoying little twit's mother at the top of a giant tree! When I got out she was going to be so shocked with so much electricity she'd beg to be put in a cage.

"Hello?" said one of the caged animals in the dark, I ignored him in the pursuit of being as difficult and as loud as possible.

"Why did I have to leave my log?" I grumbled scratching at the cage floor maybe if I could just…

"Hey uh, fellow elekity!" called out the voice from behind me again, "What's your name?"
