 The front door flew open as Peta kicked it in, apparently never using the knob even for her own home. The shelter was alive with the sounds of happy chirps, excited barks, and cuddly meows -- but that was just the ambience CD playing on the shelf. In reality the sounds coming from the animals that were amazingly still alive were moans, groans, and the occasional sanity-deprived screech. Peta proudly pranced (she's rubbing off on me  ) into the depths of the Station Square Animal Shelter, her prize in tow. Unfortunately for Lilli, the young activist had been swinging the carrier forward and back for quite some time. Maybe (okay definitely) it was better that she'd zoned out for a spell. "HA!!" Peta cackled as she came to a pen originally suited for a great dane. Any other time she'd have smart about her critter storage: EVERYONE knew that you should only put animals in cages just barely big enough to hold them; it was more space-efficient. However, Peta had plans for this... enchilada. The redhead opened the door of the pen, then did the same to the carrier, and unceremoniously dumped Lilli out onto the cold concrete floor. "HOME SWEET HOME!! This shall be your new athletic abode, you humiliating heaving hound!! Fear not, dear enchilada, for your time SHALL SOON COME!! PREPARE YOUR LOINS!!" Locking the cage door, Peta marched off with another triumphant shout to put away the carrier. |

 At the very least, it wasn't hot and stuffy in here... Though, the concept of being imprisoned in anyway wasn't a pleasant one... That, and the crazy lady was saying very, very strange things. Heaving hounds? Your time will come soon?? Prepare your loins?!?Needless to say, Lilli quickly relocated herself to the corner of said kennel, clutching the inside out dress like a security blanket. Sure, it still has blood on it, but out of sight, out of mind... What she would give to be home right now... |

However as Peta moved away, there was a flash of light as something lrge and red fell out of the air onto her.  "-rtcake-*OOMPH!*" Knuckles yelled/grunted as he landed face first on something thin and boney. A second later his hat drifed down to hang on his tail. |

 Being of relatively small body mass, mostly due to never getting, er.... nutrients... or protein... Peta was taken out quite easily by the plummeting echidna. It was only by a miracle -- and in the greater scope, grand misfortune -- that the impact didn't knock Peta unconscious. Why? Because an oppossum that had gnawed its way through the bars of its cage just at that moment and had been making a break for the exit cushioned the activist's fall. With the 'possum taking all the force of the fall, Peta immediately sat back upright, completely unharmed. Thus proving that there is no God."What in the name of--" The young woman's mouth dropped open for a moment, then spread into an extraordinarily toothy grin. "FRAUDULENT FATE HAS SMILED SMITEFULLY UPON ME!!" Peta shrieked as she grabbed the dazed Knuckles by his shoulders to examine him. "THE OTHER ENCHILADA!! I HAVE ACCUMULATED THE OTHER ENCHILADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *level-up theme*" Tucking him under her arm like a football, Peta stormed back to Lilli's cage, hastily unlocking the door and tossing Knuckles inside with the other, already quite frightened echidna. "ALRIGHT THEN!!" Peta shouted, placing the guardian's hat upon her own head. " MAKE PUPPIES!!!" |

Knuckles looked crosseyed for a moment, as he was rather disoriented from the landing an the picking-up-and-tossing-into-a-cage. However as his vision started to clear he found himself sitting face to face...with a female echidna. "Oh, hello Tikal," he said, his as yet unrebooted brain latching on to the only explaination he had for this occurance. Then he realized something... ...Tikal wasn't purple. "...WHAAAA!?" |

"My name isn't Tikal. It's Lilli." Something about this moment was extremely awkward, though, it was difficult for her to place her finger on. Maybe it was being locked up with a stranger while a crazy women was ranting about puppies or something in the background. ... Yeah, that may of been it. |

Knuckles just gaped at her. Nearly a minute passed before he suddenly blurted, "Y-you're a-a-a G-GIRL!" |

"..." The echidna girl looked down at herself. Then back up at the stranger. Then at herself again. Then at the stranger. Herself. The stranger. Herself, the stranger. "... yes." |

Blank stare.And then Lilli pointed outside of the kennel. "The crazy lady is a girl." Of course, with the pointing, the dress that Lilli had clutching for protection shifted in position. But surely that means nothing.

The activist lingered directly in front of the cage, her stare piercing into the two echidnas within. Her face had set into a deep scowl, and her folded arms began clenching around the sleeves of her grey trenchcoat. They needed to repopulate the species!! What was taking so long?! Placing her hands firmly on her hips, Peta began to tap one foot and instructed, "WE DO NOT HAVE ALL DAY, YOU KNOW!!" |

"No more echidna pants? Why doesn't someone just make more then?""WE DO NOT HAVE ALL DAY, YOU KNOW!!"To this Lilli looked up, obviously very befuddled. "I don't even know what you want... I don't even know how to make echiladas... I usually burn things when I cook anyway..."

Knux just shook his head, putting his hands over his eyes so he could concentrate. What was up with all the clothesless females today...not that he was complaining, it was just...really distracting. Then someone else started yelling something. "PUT A SOCK IN IT, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WISHING FOR SINCE PUBERTY HAS SUDDENLY COME TRUE!!" |

Peta sighed with exasperation. Considering that these were the last two echidnas in the world, she was amazed that they weren't immediately all over each other. Perhaps she needed to set the mood. "YES, THAT'S IT!!" Immediately the fiery-headed activist began tearing her own shelter to pieces, trying to find anything that would make the setting more romantic. All she ended up with was a candle scented like spoiling fish (hey, it was labeled "Beach Breeze") and a CD playing the Jaws theme. |

The echidna girl's nose wrinkled. Partly because of the smelly candle, and partly because of the rather 'ew' thought of dead people smelling like said candle. "Is... that what that smell is?" |

"What? No!!" Knuckles answered, falling sideways with a growl of fustration. He finally uncovered his eyes, but kept his gaze off Lilli so he could think somewhat clearly. Instead he finally found time to observe their captor...and finding his anger returning as he noticed something about her. "HEY! That's my hat!" |

The activist glowered at her captive. " THIS ACTIVITY DOES NOT REQUIRE HATS!!!" |

And... Lilli was now picking at a frayed edge of one of her sleeves. Between dead people candles, crazy women that wanted her to make mexican food items, and echidna pants, she needed some time to think. |

"And what the heck kind of activity do you expect us to do!? I mean you've locked us both in this cage and..." He trailed off comming to a realization, "Oh HELL no! You can't seriously think that we'd...here...infront of you...." he trailed off, comming to the conclusion that YES she would seriously think that. "Ok, we're getting out of here...and I want my hat back." |

In her determination, Peta seemed to tower over the cage even more, somehow. In fact, she also seemed to be... kinda silhouetted. Okay she really just seemed to become a long menacing shadow. Except for her eyes. Her piercing, crazy eyes. " YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I SEE A LUMINOUS LITTER OF PERMANENT PARADOXICAL PUPPIES." Then, perhaps out of spite, Peta adjusted Knuckles' hat on her head even further. |

"Right...that wasn't a request," he said with unnatural calm...and then swung a punch at the cage door. [dice=6][rand=9164852769883929280048461758665504175006618605714423313189838848502] |

[dice=6] Even though she'd locked it, the door to the cage whipped open with the force of Knuckles' punch. Not much could stand up to those fists. Aaand since she was standing so damn close to said cage, Peta (who weighed about as much as a broomstick) was knocked clear off her feet when the door slammed into her. "STOP!! YOU HAVE TO RECALCULATE THE SPECIES!!" she frantically cried.[rand=192499784083576261249322349727075688649455948799995339146517016132] |

"Well get back to you on that!" Knux said, grabbing Lilli's arm and pulling them out of the cage. He quickly looked around for an exit. |

Like a phantom of the night, Peta was back on her feet and grabbed Lilli's other arm, engaging Knuckles in a tug-o-war. " YOU CANNOT LEAVE THIS SABBATICAL SHELTER UNTIL YOU COMMENCE CANOODLING!!!" [dice=6] [rand=425030547883063055881815405616841314705547332669466580658616897] |
