The Incredible Escape

I am the master of cakes
Cynthia opened her to eyes to see the roof of the same gray cage she always woke up to. She heard the creaking of a door in the distance and the whisper of voices. "...those pokemorphs are developing nicely..." she sighed, the same thing everyday stuck in here. She layed flat on her belly and turned her attention to the other noises. Most were steady breaths while some were snores.
"Hey, guys, wake up." she whispered to the cages beside her.
 
((I have a question. Do we know we're Pokémorphs, or are we just now figuring this out?))
 
((oh, I hadn't thought of that, well some of us can tell by the way their bodies are formed (like Cario) so it will be where we do know, but some have only known for a little while that they are one))
 
Cairo uncurled when he heard the voice. "Yeah?" He jumped. His voice must have been effected too, he could have sworn he sounded more...sinister. He shrugged and stood. "What's up?"
 
((Waitwaitwait. Were we turned into Pokemorphs long before this and are now looking for escape? Or are we just waking up after being transformed?))
 
((I'm sorry for being so confusing! We have been pokemorphs for a while, but some of the effects are just coming up. The characters could have been there years, but they just didn't find anyone they could truely trust until now. And we were the ones that could have lasted the longest. I hope that clears some things up.)
She heard Cario answer her and she whispered to him, "Can you see Fang? Is he in his cage? I think they are testing on him now."
 
Cairo glanced around. "Nup, can't see him." He shook his head. "Sorry. I might have missed him, I feel really damn tired..." Cairo sat back down and curled up.
 
((OH. That makes so much sense. Cool. :) ))

Noelle lifted her head blearily. First she had been lying down, and then she supposed she'd been asleep...

She recognized the voice, and said tiredly, "Cynthia, I'd just gotten to sleep... Whyyyyy..." She curled up again, but knew in the back of her mind that she probably wouldn't get back to sleep until her next round of testing was over. That probably wouldn't be for hours...
 
Skye finally snapped out of her trance at the sound of the scientists' voices. She had been sitting for what seemed like hours staring at the sparks around her wrists.

"Do you guys know when this junk's gonna end? I'm gettin' impatient now," she said rather loudly to her fellow prisoners.
 
Noelle groaned again. There went her chances of sleeping. "Skye, this 'junk' isn't going to end. Just more testing and talking until they're through with us and they get rid of us. Don't get your hopes up," she finished. She'd said the same thing many times before, but they wouldn't just accept that there was no way out.
 
"'Gah. Can't we just leave or somethin'? There's gotta be a way out...right?" she said a bit more quietly this time.

Skye was determined that this 'junk' would end eventually. Even though she knew it wouldn't.
 
Fang struggled to get out of his restraints on the lab table. He stopped himself from biting down on the arm of the scientist reaching over him. He felt a needle go through his bone in his wing and almost lunged at the man pushing it in his wing when he felt a numb sensation come over him. He couldn't move his arms and heard the scientist say, "We will need to sedate him for any further test, he is too dangerous." He glared at the man. "You better fear me." he hissed at them. He felt them remove the needle, then he blacked out.
 
Cynthia nodded. "I'm sorry, Noelle! Who goes after Fang gets back after testing? I think we should come up with a plan to try and escape...there must be a way!" she said quietly. She looked around her, at the Pokemorphs she could say were her friends, maybe even the closest thing to family she had.
 
"Ugh.... Where am I again?"

His dreams interrupted by voices, Adam sat up, and looked around. One of the cages was empty, and the rest conatined the half-awake Pokemorphs.

"Oh yeah, that's right. Crap."

Adam listened in on the conversation for a bit, until somebody mentioned creating a plan of escape.

"You must be joking, Cynthia." he said. "I've looked at it in a lot of ways, there just isn't. A. Way. Out." He accentuated each word by pounding his fist on the bars. "The only way we could escape would be to get out of these cages, and I don't see that happening any time soon."

"Unless....."

Adam stood up and started pacing around his cage, deep in thought.
 
Noelle cringed; last time someone had attempted an escape it hadn't ended well. She found herself agreeing with Adam, but as soon as he started to actually consider the idea her attention left him. A cold draft blew through; it was subtle, but Noelle immediately became colder and shivered slightly. She made a small sound of discomfort and curled into an even tighter ball. Would it kill them to put heating in here?

Nevertheless, she felt obliged to join the conversation. "If by some miracle they didn't make someone's cage power-proof, then what? The scientists are all watching. There's probably ten million alarms... I don't even know which way the exit is. Anyone know?" After a moment she cursed herself. She was actually starting to go along with it.
 
"I think I go after Fang...I normally see him coming out as I go in." Cairo stated sleepily. "These cages are tough, but the top of my cage has a dent in it from when it toppled over. If I escaped when the scientists came to take me to the lab, if I could take them out, I might be able to slash my way in from outside." He mentally slapped himself and uncurled. When he was curled up, his voice became much more muffled. "Did everyone get that?"
 
Cynthia nodded. She looked at the bars on her cage, examining every bolt. All tightly bolted keeping her from escaping. "Your plan just might work, but it would be risky." she pushed on the front of her cage but it didn't budge. Then she heard a voice come from some distance away from the cages. "...after we finish testing all the Pokemorphs, we're going to test them all at the same time, to test their ability to interact with others..." she knew it had to be one of the scientists. But were they just saying this to trick her? She would wait to tell the others when everyone was in their cages.
 
Fang opened his eyes to see the celing moving. The scientists were moving him somewhere, but then noticed it was towards the others, still in their cages. He knew his turn was over for now, but it'll come too soon when he'll get experimented on again.
