Bart poked his muzzle through the dirty blanket that served as a curtain and peered through a crack in the boards covering the outside of the windows and sighed. Drawing back away from the window the dog padded across the floor, paw kicking a beer bottle and sending it spinning as he went. He ignored it, it being one among many in the trashed house. Lifting his large black head he looked up at one of the others, brown eyes worried, "I don't think they're coming back."
It had been almost two weeks since the owners of the house and animals had left, very late in the night and in a very big rush. So fast had they gone they hadn't bothered to turn off lights or even the television. They had, however, locked the door and shut the animals in. The dog's worry wasn't for them though, it was for him and the other animals. After a day they had managed to break into the cupboards and such and feed themselves and the leaky faucet combined with the toilet provided enough water but today the water and lights had been shut off and the food was almost gone.
"We can't stay here anymore..." He glanced at the door and around at the others, "we need to get out."

Batty lifted her small, trianguklar head adn yawned, displaying her kitten teeth. "Eh? Out? But it's warm in here..." she complained, curled in a tight ball.
She was a young kitten of some muttish siamese descent, soft brown all over, named after a cartoon bat, and almost as loopy...

Charcoal sighed softly from his perch on the arm of a sofa, levelling a firm stare at Bart. "And how are we going to get out?" He was a pure black Persian cat...given quite purely to the notion that he was a deal too fine for such surroundings. Which, of course, meant that he had a nice, high opinion of himself...
"And where are we going to go?"

Bart growled in annoyance, "We can't stay here. There isn't anything left to eat. Except you guys." He gave them a mock hungry glance and licked his muzzle.
"I'm all for going." A small voice spoke up. Inside a metal cage a furry masked face stuck out soon followed the rest of the ferret's sleek body. "There's only so many times you can run in a plastic ball before it gets boring you know."

"Well, okay" Batty agreed, uncurling and stretching. Anything the Ferret suggested was usaully fun...
"Rawk, idiots" Meeha, the parrot sqwauked "Doors open, doors open!"

"Well, I'm fine for it, then." Charcoal stretched languidly and stood, before staring at the bird. "...That makes things easier, then." Still, he hopped down from his arm of the couch, glaring at the bird now, his mock threat of devouring more convincing. "...Ought to eat you."

"What do you mean the doors open?" Bart growled at the parrot in irritation. The half German Shepard/ Dane mix approached the door and eyed it a moment. Then stood up a bit and chomped down on the door knob. He tried to turn it this way and that and only seemed to succeed in slobbering all over the metal.

"Open, unlocked, free passage, get out of jail free" the parrot supplied.
Batty blinked and batted a dust mote "We'e leaving..I can get us out..."

There was a suond from the heated terarium on the coffee table. An average sized turtle was ganging its shell on the glass.
"You'll take me too?" Andrew, the gender confused turtle asked, her eyes wide and pleading.

Bart sighed and stepped away from the door. "Well open it if you can."
The ferret began to make a racket as he gnawed on this cage bars then stopped to notice the turtle. "Sure, long as you keep up." He snickered and his eyes glittered. "Just kidding, I'll carry you if I have to shell."

Batty pounced teh dust mote triumphantly then poofed all her fur out witha happy cry. "Okay!" she said, racing up the stairs away from the front door.
Meeha clucked and ruffled her neck feathers "Stupid cat, stupid cat, take eth turtle!"

Andrwe gave hte ferret her best irritated look. "I can keep up. . .if we go through water. Beside, it would make more sense for hte dog to carry me. He's bigger, after all."

Charcoal, meanwhile, bounded to the floor, looking with a certain degree of annoyance. "Oh, please...do we have to bring the turtle? It will only be a bother, whoever carries it will have to deal with the pointless load and it will never be any good...better to sacrifice one for the greater good and not bother."

Bart watched the kitten go then turned around to the tank, "No, no one gets left behind. I'll carry her." He knocked the lid off with his muzzle and reached down inside, carefully biting down on the turle's shell and lifting her out. Setting the turtle down on the rug he turned his attention to the ferret.
"Um...can anyone get him out of there?"
"Yes, out. Please?" The ferret pleaded, black eyes looking out at the others.

Meanwhile, Batty the great Huntress was stalking along the upper rooms of the cabin. With contemptous ease, she pounced the sunbeam she was after and looked up with a grin. "There you are!" she said happily, a small crack in the wall where the logs had warped slightly...a way out...
And, she wiggled through.
Downstairs, Meeha sighed and nibbled her clawed feet "Get out of jail free?" she spat, then flapped over to the cage to worry the wire holding it closed.
