<div class="floatleft">(https://s26.postimg.org/kx734i9w9/Sleyn.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Sleyn Blight<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Morning<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Living Quarters Hallway(2nd Floor)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Rin, Ezekiel, Misha - Serenity, Maya<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Playing Dead<br/><hr/>Resistance was futile... and even if it wasn’t, it was still such a tediously unrewarding exercise to commit oneself to. Slumping his shoulders downward and allowing his head to hang lifelessly off to one side. The only sign of attentive consciousness the rat expressed were through his dull golden eyes; which stared up with half-lidden expectation as he responded to the series of shouted questions with completely useless answers of his own. Serenity was clearly itching to pick a fight with someone, and as the oldest and most knowledgeable person in the world, the rat supposed it was his duty to bare the brunt of her fury. Sleyn didn’t have a death-wish just yet... and he wasn’t masochistically enjoying the attention he was receiving by any means. But any attempts to suppress Serenity’s outrage clearly wouldn’t work, and deflecting the problem for a later time had the potential to result in unwanted complications which would take a whole lot more effort to resolve. Plus, it was in Serenity’s favor too that her first act of senseless aggression would be directed at someone who wouldn’t hold the altercation against her.<br/><br/>Remaining dormant and idle as he was hoisted up into the air in a flash of a moment. Sleyn didn’t even bother to physically brace himself as he felt himself being slammed downward towards the wooden flooring below. In fact, the rat seemed to be at complete peace with himself as his sleepy golden hues disappeared behind his lashes. And had the fall been played in dramatic slow motion with some tragically touching music, the scene would have resembled that of a dramatic suicide off the edge of a building..... though Serenity standing over him and angrily looking down upon him ruined the illusion and made it out to be the murder scene it had been. Stepping back into the shoes of reality though, the fall itself was.... unpleasant. And although Sleyn had miraculously managed to escape hitting his head on the floor too hard. The rat had found himself landing at a different angle to the ground, and a searing pain scorched it’s way up from his shoulder.<br/><br/>And if that wasn’t bad enough? The woman then decided to rob him like a schoolyard bully! Truly an opportunity to be righteously outraged... but that required too much energy. As did screaming out in pain. In fact, playing dead seemed to be the easiest route out of the altercation for the time being. And surely enough Misha the trusty sled dog allowed his inner-husky to shine through.... albeit being dragged around on wood opposed to snow... without a sled wasn’t as fun as the original concept....<br/><br/>Not being in a position to express his discomfort, Sleyn continued to keep his eyes shut and pretend to be unconscious as he was ungracefully dragged across the hallway and towards the flight of stairs. And while Serenity and Maya had seemingly opted for the opposite stairwell, the furry-eared pair had apparently caught up with Ezekiel and Millicent.... or rather just Ezekiel as Millicent quickly dashed off ahead; leaving Misha and Ezekiel to clumsily haul the wounded man down the stairs.<br/><br/>Unfortunately his scheme was ruined upon reaching the bottom of the stairs as an energetic Rin continued to wear his Sherlock hat. Trying to glean at least some shred of information from the one person who seemed to be in the know. Sighing quietly to himself as he was forced to drop the unconscious act, the rat glanced over and tilted his head in response to Rin’s question.<br/>“Just so you know, asking me a question doesn’t means you get a turn at throwing me around....” Sleyn stated matter-of-factly, seemingly serious for a few seconds before smiling to indicate his jest. The aching pain in his shoulder continued to throb, but besides it's rather obvious limpness it was hard to believe Sleyn had been assaulted only a few moments prior.<br/>“But in all seriousness, I’ve answered enough questions for today. If you want anything more out of me you’ll have to make it my while. I’d like to think of myself as a generous rat, but my kind aren’t exactly known for our altruism.”
