The doctor sighed. He was quite used to Skitters' behavior. He grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and stood the boy on his feet. "You'd think you'd be used to me by now...Well in any case it's time to sleep with you." He said. The doctor blinked, quite curious as to what all ran through Skitters' mind.
"They'll soon decide with you...me, I'd've labled you a defect by now..." He said. He looked Skitters up and down, searching for any new marks and what not, then checked something on his clip board. He placed the boy's chin in his hand and lifted his head up so that the two saw eye to eye.
"Strange lad..." He said. "Have you eaten at all?" He asked.

Skitters yelped in terror when he was pulled up, stiffing his entire being as he stood on his feet, his trembling becoming more obvious now. He watched the doctor intensely as he looked him over, glancing frequently at the door. He'd often pondered just making a break for the door to get out, even though he knew it was locked and that if he got out there'd be no place to go. But it was still a thought, a kind of dream, just to see if he could escape.
He blinked and looked at the doctor, biting the bottom of his lip hard to keep himself in control, his hands knotted together behind him as he didn't response, simply staring back at the doctor with the same slightly hazed eyes.

The doctor blinked. He sighed and shone a light in Skitters' eyes. "I'll take that as a 'no'." He said. He drug the trembling boy over to his bed and sat him on it, shaking his head as he wrote more notes on his clipped paper. "If I have to bind you to the bed again I will, Skitters." He said as he tapped the restraints holstered to the bed with his pen.
He looked over at the tray table that was brought in for Skitters for dinner. "Eat, sleep, or you won't get any better, and you'll be defected the rest of your life." He informed. He took the stethoscope from around his neck and put it to Skitters' chest to monitor his heart, searching for anything abnormal. With this boy, however, he was nothing but abnormal.
Writing more notes the doctor looked Skitters in the eyes again. He wondered how he could get the boy to talk. Taking the butt of his pen he tapped Skitters on his head once, and then again. "You want ice cream? A lolly pop? Water?" He asked, looking for any type of response.

Skitters sat silently as the doctor did what he did, gritting his teeth in secret. If there was anything he hated the most it was being called a defect. For him, defect meant going through an experiment and dying either in the process or a little while after words, like some of the other experiments in the building had. He, unfortunately, hadn�t been granted such yet and therefore in his mind, in as much that was left, did consider himself a defect. If anything there little experiment had worked just fine, they were just to stupid to figure it out for themselves.
With a frown, he swatted the pen away from his head, snapping it out of the doctor�s hand in a rather rough manner to across the floor. "Am not..." he whispered softly, his voice cracked and raspy from the lack of use. He rarely spoke to anyone anyways, they rarely wanted to have anything to do with him, most likely worried he'd mutate into some freakish creature and rip them apart on the spot. He considered that thought a moment, wondering exactly what it would be like to do such a thing.

The doctor smiled and patted Skitters on the head. He fetched his pen and went back to the boy. "Glad to hear you speak boy." He said, making the note in his paper. He looked the boy in the face again, studying it. Perhaps he shouldn't have called him a defect, but hey, it'd gotten him to say something.
There was a tap at the glass as another of the doctors peered through the window frowning. The doctor patted Skitters on the back and opened the door. He let the other doctor in, who held in his hand a kennel. "Another experiment for the schitzo." He said, handing the doctor the kennel. "What...now? It's time for bed for this one, can't it wait until morning?" He argued. The other shook his head. "It's just meant as a long term of sorts...unless one of them dies, of course." The other said as he left. "Good luck..." He turned and left.
The doctor blinked, disproving of the situation. Oh well, there wasn't anything he could very well do about it now. Sighing the man walked infrong of Skitters and pulled the boy off of the bed and sat him in one of the two chairs in the room. He put the kennel on the table which the two chairs sat at and opened it. Out from it crawled a calico kitten, a few weeks old and mewing as it shook and looked around.
"This...I guess...is for you..." He said, picking up the cat and held it out to Skitters. He wondered if the boy would take it, or if he'd ignore it.

Skitters blinked, staring at the kennel the other man held curiously as the two talked. He glanced at the doctor curiously as he led him to a chair, placing the kennel on the table and opening it up.
He stared at the kitten blankly, his eyes wandering in curiosity over the little creature. She simply sat still in his chair, his hand folded together and held between his knees a she stared. He took a breath, lifting up a hand towards the kitten and poking it lightly in the head, pondering if it would begin to rant and rave like other creatures he�d seen, real or not.

The doctor gave a 'o.0' face as Skitters poked the kitten, which only mewed in complaint before it sniffed Skitters' finger tip. It cried as it wanted to either be held or put down to explore, not dangled in the air by the doctor.
"Interesting..." He said, placing the kitten in Skitters' lap. He sat at the chair near by Skitters' and watched, taking notes.

Skitters shrunk back from the kitten as it was placed on his lap, sitting straight up against the back of his chair as he watched cautiously. Being alone with nothing but a army squirrel and English rabbit had made him weary of animals, causing him to pratically forget how animals really responded.
He watched the kitten for several minutes, finally raising a handup and stroking the kitten's head slowly, watching carefully and curiously to see how it acted, glancing at the doctor once in a while, catching a few stray thoughts as he observed them.

The doctor nibbled on the tip of his pen as he observed the kitten and Skitters' response. He wished he could see into the boy's mind and figure out how to turn him normal again. He was actually waiting for Skitters to attack the cat in some fashion. When he didn't he wrote it down.
"Oh...I've got to go. I hope you play nice with the kitty." He said, standing up. He patted Skitters on the head and then the kitten, who swatted at him. "Playful little thing." He observed. "Goodnight boy, cat." He left and locked the door shut behind him.

Skitters watched the doctor leave with a blank gaze, making no movements until the man was out and the door was locked.
"Bye..." he whispered in a delayed reaction, looking away from the door and back to the kitten in his lap. He scratched the kitten under its chin lightly, observing it a moment before picking it up and setting it down on the floor. He walked over to the tray that had been brought in, sticking a finger in the food and tasting it. He made a face and pushed the food aside, tensing up like a mouse the moment it hit the wall. He quickly looked over his shoulder, noticing the overturned plate sitting on the floor with its food spilt. His eyes went wide, in a flash he ducked down and hid under his bed. He hugged his legs close to his chest again and watched out from under the bed.
From behind the thin air of a table leg appeared the squirrel and rabbit.
"Is he gone yet?" the squirrel asked, pushing up his helmet while his eyes grew wide. "Oh no..." he said in shock, the rabbit peeking out just behind him.
"What is it? Did they knock him out and tie him to the bed again?" it asked in its accent, blinking as it curiously waited for an answer.
"Worse...there's a menacing creature!!!" the squirrel shrieked, poofing behind the table leg leaving the rabbit in confusion.
"What now?" it asked, looking at the cat and cocking an eyebrow. "Oh... I see..."

The kitten mewed a few times before sniffing at the floor. When cart crashed into the wall the kitten hissed and shot under the bed before Skitters could make it there. When he arrived she darted out under the table, skidded, and slammed into the leg of the chair Skitters had been sitting in. She shook her head and wandered around on the floor, cautiously looking about.
She smelled the food and carefully walked up to it. Sniffing it she decided it smelled edable and so began to eat it herself, if Skitters had thrown it away. The little creature began to purr loudly as it ate.

Skitters watched the kitten carefully from under the bed, scrunching himself together as he could hear the creatures purring. He wasn't really sure how it could eat such nasty stuff, but who was he to ask. He grumbled incoherently to himself, slowly slipping in and out of consciousness.
"That's right you evil little menace... just keep eating the slop..." the squirrel hissed silently, slinking behind the kitten with the mini-mop from before held high over his head.
"You can't do anything to it... you know that right?" the rabbit asked, adjusting its coat as the squirrel hissed at him.
"Shhh!! You'll let it know we're here!" he whispered, now standing about a foot from the kitten's backside, the mop still held high above it's head.

The kitten finished its fill and began cleaning itself, purring more. She seemed satisfied, even if a little curious as to where she was. She shook her head and sneezed, getting up and looking around after.Upon spotting Skitters, she licked her mouth and walked over to him and sniffed him curiously, starting with his feet.

Chris wandered around his appartment, balancing a pencil on his upper lip. He was bored. He flipped on the news, but it was just the same old same old, nothing of interest except for the announcement of the newest Victoria Secret angels.
"Bumm bumm bumm..." He said, staring at the pencil as he manouvered an end in his lip. Humming he walked around, fidgeting a bit. Stopping the pencil dropped to the floor with a 'clunk' as he looked out to the city. "HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted. He recieved the love of his neighbors by 'shut up!'s and 'screw you!'s. Laughing he decided to take a drive.

Skitters watched the cat, pulling himself away from her as she began to sniff. He rolled himself over on his side, scrunching together to the best of his abilities, his back now against the wall at the far top of the bed. He watched her a moment, his eyes slightly scrunched in an expression that seemed untrusting of what she was doing. He glanced around a bit, watching the squirrel and rabbit rant over the new kitten's presence causing him to forget what exactly was going on.
