So...Mostly just getting to know the situation and establishing things...These first few chapters the characters are going to be stuck in the Lab as they try to figure a way out.
Don stood again facing the glaring daggers and the boorish mutant boar...
"I've been to other planets and other dimenstions..." Don said firmly "...I've met beings from worlds where Anthropomorphic Animals like us are the norm so I have every reason to believe this Wolf Girl's words are true."
Some distance away from this part of the hidden underground lab, were the Mutant Rabbit and White Rat who captured Donatello their names were Karl and Igor respectivly, they were Doc Feral's slaves and assistants they were both thugs and brutes however Karl lived in fear of Feral and would escape if he could, Igor however was for some reason content with his lot and felt no inclination to escape.
They listened to this with interest, seemed like something good to take notes on hopefully to be used later...
"I don't know what kind of harsh lives you poor prisoners have led..." Don said "...But can't you see you've become resigned to your fates? Maybe if we put our talents together we can escape!"
Karl and Igor tensed up on hearin g this, they had heard many a new prisoner suggest this before and that uppity mutant was always 'corrected' with beatings and other punishments until they accepted their fates...They had done this with many kinds of mutants all kinds of species this muscular turtle shouldn't be much different...
Don once again knelt down to speak to the strange Wolf Girl who seemed to still have some spirit left.
"I'm Don..." Don said offering his hand through the bars as his cage shared a set of bars with the neighboring cage..."I presume the name Arctica is because you're an Arctic Wolf?"
Instead of giving him her hand Arctica instead lifted her right hand bringing to his mind the classic image of the Beckoning Cat you so often see in East Asian resturants.
"It's a traditional name in our family..." She said "...I'm named after my Grandmother, sorry for not taking your hand but I'd only hurt you with my...Freddy Krugar hands...My claws aren't just really long they're also really sharp."
The mention of her Granmother...either in her world she came from a long line of anthropomorphic animals and she was born already anthropomorphic or her Grandmother was an ordinary wolf like a captive animal in a zoo. Or...If humans are in charge of the mutation process perhaps all the creatures in her world start out as ordinary animals regardless of the state of their parents and are dependent of Bio-Engineering as an embryo or child to be anthropomorphized. Don knew there were so many potential ways this scenario could go but he didn't know which one, it was Schrodinger's planet and society...
Realizing he could shake her hand because what she said was true about her insanely long claws, he reached through the bars of the cage and lay his hand tenderly on the back of her right hand and simply rubbed it as an alternitive to shaking it.
Arctica's ears folded back and her blush could be seen through her white fur, it seems like it had been a long time since she received any sort of positive attention.
I think I'll leave it here for now there is gonna be a lot they'll need to figure out before they can escape!
