He awoke peacefully for once, all was well. The sun was shining with nary a cloud in sight, the sand were pleasantly warm on his back, and there was a light breeze cool his neck. Wait, where was his scarf? There should be no breeze, pleasant or not on his neck because he always wore that precious green and white scarf! Jolting up into a sitting position, he clawed at his neck, trying to feel for the soft wool but just grabbing air instead. Slowly his hands settled into a position normally used to signal that one is choking and in a way he was, not having that long strip of fabric wrapped around his throat was like not being able to breathe. His shock soon gave way to fury, he would find the moron who had taken his scarf and he would make them regret being born, he’d give then cancer so bad they’d have two head for him to kick in. Leaping up from his sitting position, he was on the hunt.
***
Seven hours had passed since he’d awoken without his most prized possession and he’d yet to find it or even a hint that might lead him to the thief. So he had counted his losses, which would explain why he was sitting on a rickety barstool nursing another bottle of the harsh whiskey that was the only form of hard liquor he could find. Dmitri was determined to get stoned out of his mind, he planned to drink until he could no longer stand up and that was a hard task for someone with his tolerance. He’d been drinking ever since “the incident” and that was what, since he was eight? He couldn’t exactly recall anymore, too much alcohol running though his veins. Another swig of the dusty bottle and Dmitri felt the room begin to spin, it was finally taking affect. Lowering his head onto the cool wooden bar, he looked at the collection of empty bottles that lay haphazardly on the counter, there were only two so far but that would soon change, he intended to drink himself to death, perhaps literally. There was no point in living if he couldn’t even care for something so important. He was an idiot, worthless, and also done with this bottle. Tossing it across the room, he laughed bitterly as he heard it shatter against the far wall. He almost wished he was that bottle, living was hard, dying was so easy.
The other bottles he’d found, he had left laid out on one of the speakeasy’s tables for easy access but as he tried to pull himself up and off the stool he found that he’d overestimated his drunken self’s balance. Stumbling over to the table after falling on his butt and having several unsuccessful tries to haul himself back up, Dmitri finally made it. However that short lived moment of success was overshadowed by his lack of depth perception. He over reached as he went to snatch another bottle of whiskey and went hurtling forward, crashing into the old table. The alcohol went flying as the table flipped over yielding to the added weight and Dmitri found himself laying on the wet floor covering in strong smelling whiskey, several large buries, and pieces of yellowed glass. Brushing the wet hair from his face, Dmitri watched the ceiling boards multiple into twin pairs and swarm as he wondered when god would just decided that it was time for him to go. Hadn’t he drunk enough for it to be fatal yet? Reaching to grab a half broken but still whiskey filled bottle, he pressed the jagged glass to his lips. Sour whiskey mixed with blood but it wasn’t like he could taste it anymore, alcohol was alcohol, all that mattered was it made him forget.

SOY HELPED ME FIX ITTTT. ;D -bows to greatness- Escape.
That was what was on her mind. It wasn't clear to Quinn exactly how this Menagerie was formed, what the walls were made of that couldn't be broken through. She couldn't bust through the walls, because no matter what she threw at them they did not crack, did not crumble. But she had been watching the weather. Rain, sun, clouds, could those be synthetically made or allowed them through? She had thought of asking a bird shifter what was up there, but she hadn't been around long enough to know of one. Her hand was shielding the sun out of her eyes as she peered up. She let her eyes trail the wall until it got to where she couldn't see anymore. Damn. Some part of her was pretty sure she wasn't going to make it out of this hellhole alive, but Quinn wasn't going to lay down and die. But what was out there for her except for freedom? Aside from the Keepers, the Carna, and the general lack of electricity, fresh food, and water...this place wasn't all bad.
The red head looked away, spots dancing across her vision, as she surveyed the junkyard. Clouds were moving in, but she ignored them, jumping from the roof of a battered car to the hood of another one. Her sneakers slid, squealing as they ran down the metal, bringing the Anthro to her knees. Her hands brushed the hot metal and she snatched them back with a curse. Christ, that was hot. She looked up, the glass of this particular car having been kicked out already. Quinn had heard a rumor that there used to be a group of Anthros, all brought together under one leader. They had been destroyed, scattered by the Carna, and this place was the graveyard of their existence. Now the Anthros took residence with any ring that would take them in or go it alone. Safety existed in numbers, and that was the only reason she kept close to the Fallen. Their numbers were swelling, new shifters being released into the M every day. And more experiments, like Quinn.
With that line of thought, thunder rumbled over her head. The sun had disappeared, hidden by thick, rain heavy clouds. She jumped off the car's hood, one of the few that weren't stacked. Maybe the...B-Bestia? Yeah, that sounded about right. Maybe the Bestia were getting ready to pile it when they were attacked? She hadn't taken but three steps away from the car when heaven's gates opened, sending a downpour right onto her head. She was drenched from ears to tail, her sneakers squishing as she ran through the junkyard. She took a sharp right, spotting a car that looked fairly intact. She yanked open the back door, sliding in and shutting it with a slam. The dark fabric of her shirt clung to every curve, her jeans soaked and her sneakers actually pushing water up between her toes. Her red hair matted to her forehead, her ears drooping miserably. Her only good set of clothes. Wet, and no telling when they'd be dry again. It wasn't like she had a magic dryer hidden in the tangled mess of her hair.
The soft hum of a male's voice had her freezing in place. When it broke off, probably because her rather loud entrance, she was hunkering down in the seat. "Umm....'ello? Who the hell are you and why are you in my...car?" Her voice was hard, uncertain. She couldn't even see his face, but she wasn't going to peak over the seat to find out.

Stumbling over to the table after falling on his butt and having several unsuccessful tries to haul himself back up, Dmitri finally made it. However that short lived moment of success was overshadowed by his lack of depth perception. He over reached as he went to snatch another bottle of whiskey and went hurtling forward, crashing into the old table. The alcohol went flying as the table flipped over yielding to the added weight and Dmitri found himself laying on the wet floor covering in strong smelling whiskey, several large buries, and pieces of yellowed glass. Brushing the wet hair from his face, Dmitri watched the ceiling boards multiple into twin pairs and swarm as he wondered when god would just decided that it was time for him to go. Hadn’t he drunk enough for it to be fatal yet? Reaching to grab a half broken but still whiskey filled bottle, he pressed the jagged glass to his lips. Sour whiskey mixed with blood but it wasn’t like he could taste it anymore, alcohol was alcohol, all that mattered was it made him forget.
