Ash shivered, unable to answer the previous question posed to him as since three other girls had been thrown into the cell as well. When Ash had heard the grunts before talking, it had sounding like an exchange of words between them and some sort of authorized-figure, a higher up. He also heard various and non-consecutive words in the mix that he could understand, the few not making any sense - such as<i>aphrodisiac</i>even though the word had been of greek origin, and the word<i>provisions</i>.<i>'Provisions'?</i>-- Ash though,<i>provisions as in food? Our food?</i><br/><br/>Thoughts wrinkled his brain and his pondering would soon have to come to a halt. Being that he had been surrounded with surprisingly attractive - all around his age, he knew they would all have to be acquainted at one point, though something hadn't settled right. Maybe it had been the food the grunts had forced him before. He was sure everyone got the same dish as he did. This had to be some sort of test... but what?<br/><br/>The room went silent as the door swung open, and one of the grunt, wearing a mask to conceal his identity, brought in a cage in one hand and let it drop to the center of the cell. Ash's eyes widened, it had been one of those cat-person creatures. This one had the ears, tail, and all. They were a majestic race, said to be the missing link between animals and humans.<br/>The grunt had left, leaving the small cage behind as Ash rushed towards it to pick the lock.<br/>At the sound of an girl's voice, Ash responded, "Yes, there're four of us, beside you, of course..." That was really all he could think to say, besides ever wanting to meet the neko-creature all his life, Ash had been a little startled himself by all the events leading up to this.<br/><br/>He turned around to look at the girls, "Umm... maybe we should introduce each other... I-I can't be sure when we'll be getting out, though we should sure as get to know each other..." Ash stammered.<br/><br/>"I'm Ash."
