".....Is it about Kari?"

[Corvus leaned into her hand, a bird-like coo coming out of his beak and he closed all 4 eyes.]

"You're always so.. angry when she's mentioned."

[He chittered softly]

"why..?"

[Goes and lays his lead on Harper’s lap like a massive therapy dog because he can see that Harper is angry]

@what-the-crow-doing

Harper was certainly fuming at the moment, having been glaring particularly hard at the wall ahead. A dolphin. The information was something to keep in mind, all things considered - especially with her wandering in the Blacksite.

She did, however, pause in her seething when feeling the sudden weight at her lap. Taking in a sharp breath at first, her fins flared out, before she realized whom it was.

“Corvus.” Harper greeted with a heavy sigh, tail seeming to lash behind her. “Hey.”

[what-the-crow-doing]

*a short, red, bean-shaped creature with two stubby legs and no arms appeared before you. It had one blue glass window at the top of its head that made it look like a cyclops. It also had a little backpack on its back*

[He tilts his head to the side in confusion]

“What the..?”

[He sat down, curling his tail around his waist and sniffed the creature almost like how a curious dog would.]

“What are you..”

[He poked it with a claw. Was this an experiment? Expendable? He did not know at this point.]

“You’re strange.”

[what-the-crow-doing]

“Why are you so angry?”

[The corvid asks, purring and cooing slightly at her affection.]

“I don’t like seeing you so upset, would you care to tell me what’s on your mind?”

[Goes and lays his lead on Harper’s lap like a massive therapy dog because he can see that Harper is angry]

[what-the-crow-doing]

“I don’t see you as a monster.”

[The words could come out before he could stop them but he did not care.]

“Despite your fangs and claws and sometimes snappy attitude, you were there for me at my lowest. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to repay that.”

[He sighs visibly.]

“Urbanshade will punish me if they ever heard me say this but.. if you need help getting out of the black site please just.. just ask me for help.”

[He coos softly when he feels her stroking his feathers, it is a nice feeling.]

“At least one of us has to get out of here alive Harp. And I’d rather it you than me.”

[He went and sat down next to her, resting his head on the ground.]

@what-the-crow-doing

“Oh! Corvus!”

With the sight of the other, a more genuine sort of smile had found its way to her face. “How have you been? I feel as if it’s been some time since I’ve seen you last..”

[what-the-crow-doing]

[He nodded slowly, moving to lay his massive fluffy head on her lap for scratches.]

“Why us..”

[He asked, a sad chittering noise coming from out his beak.]

“……Urbanshade.. what do they require from us. I know what they need from me but for you..? ..I hate this. I don’t want to live my life being feared or shunned because of something some sick freaks did to me no…”

[He missed his sister. He would never forget the sight that greeted him when he came into that room,, no matter how many times Headquarters tried to shock him and make him forget.]

“….Why do some walk free while others live in chains.”

[He went and sat down next to her, resting his head on the ground.]

[what-the-crow-doing]

[Corvus was going to respond when his collar came to life with a fury. There was a cracking/shock sound and the metal appendage burned right through Corvus’s skin on his neck. Corvus leaped up and began writhing around on the ground, body jerking as the pain became was to much. Unlike those flimsy cheep collars that the weaker experiments had, Corvus’s collar was top grade, meaning the voltage and how much electrical power could be easily controlled on his. Headquarters had decided to shock him to the max.]

_Do not listen to Z-013253. It is only saying lies._

[But Allo had said. He trusted Allo, he knew the other would not lie.]

_We have your sister’s own corpse as evidence. It is Z-13’s fault. She is dead because of it._

[A tear trickled from one of Corvus’s eyes.]

_Z-013253 lies._

[He didn’t know who to believe anymore.]

[He looks upset as he goes and sits by Allo. He has something folded against his wing.]

@what-the-crow-doing

"mhhh? Something wrong pal?" Allo asked seeing the upset look on the fellow experiment face.

His head titling back a bit to look at the tall creature's face his tail ever so slightly tapping to the ground he was sitting on.

[what-the-crow-doing]

“..th..is whole time I.. I’ve been trying to kill my own brother..”

[Isnt he the reason your sister is dead.]

“…why did he kill those people.. what did I do- why did they do this to me..”

[He turned and looked at Allo]

“I don’t even remember my own face.”

[He looks upset as he goes and sits by Allo. He has something folded against his wing.]

@what-the-crow-doing

"mhhh? Something wrong pal?" Allo asked seeing the upset look on the fellow experiment face.

His head titling back a bit to look at the tall creature's face his tail ever so slightly tapping to the ground he was sitting on.

[what-the-crow-doing]

”..I… I found my document..”

[He whispers, moving to go lay down almost like a dog would.]

“…”

[He hands Allo the document.]

[He looks upset as he goes and sits by Allo. He has something folded against his wing.]

[what-the-crow-doing]

"Hm, ah, sure!"

*He hands the bird the file before walking off*

[……..]

[He watches as Amaris walks away, he feels lonely but he will not say this.]

[He stares down at the document. He wants to read it.]

[He’s about to open the document when his collar comes to life with vengeance and-]

*CRACK*

[He is violently shocked, the seering pain burning through the tough hide of skin on his neck like it was nothing.]

[He shrieks and drops the document.]

[the intercom on his collar comes to life]

_Do not open that document Z-627. This expendable has only told you lies, do not trust them._

[Headquarters..]

_Dispose of the document and bring it back to us, we will keep it safe. As for that expendable, they will be dealt with shortly._

[…He had no other choice than to obey.]

[what-the-crow-doing]

"He didn't do anything. He was falsely accused. Have you not read his file?"

*Amaris seemed genuinely surprised but still left and patched himself up*

-Amaris

[What.]

[He pauses for a moment, before following Amaris outside.]

“He.. he was what.”

[The giant corvid stares at Amaris, the look on his face is nearly impossible to read.]

“But.. but they said. Even the doctors and scientists.. nurses.. all of them said..”

[His tail flicks with uncertainty]

“Do you have his document. It was one of the only documents I wasn’t able to get.”

[I have to see for myself, I am done taking others words for it.]

[what-the-crow-doing]

*He just sits there, bleeding out*

"He truly cares for you, he hopes you are safe..."

"How unfortunate things ended up..."

-🌑 Aka Amaris

“If he-.. if he hadn’t have..- he-..”

[He looks down and then there are tears. Tears falling from all four eyes.]

“Then.. then maybe our my sister would still be alive! But no. He just had to go and kill 9 people.”

[He curls a claw and looks back at Amaris, there is a mingled look of fury and pain.]

“There is.. a medkit outside.”

[please. Please leave me alone.]

“Take it and go.”

[what-the-crow-doing]

It will be OK, I will free you. I will get your brother to help you.

-🌑 aka Amaris

”NO.”

[This time he’s had enough and he tackles then to the ground, nearly crushing them.]

“JUST LEAVE. LEAVE ME ALONE. HE IS NOT MY BROTHER, WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT ‘LEAVE’.”

[He snarls like a wild animal, all 4 eyes have red pupils now.]

[He throws Amaris across the room in a fury.]

“GET OUT.”

[what-the-crow-doing]

[He stares at his document and opens it.]

[Ollie — Solace.]

[You are my brother.]

[Oh my god.]

“..Seb..”

[He can feel the hatred growing.]

Z-627 (THE CORVID)

Z-627 is an entity that resides in the Blacksite. It is currently under the control of Urbanshade, security personnel have been given orders to not interact with Z-627. HQ must be contacted if any strange behaviour is seen by the entity, complete CONTROL is necessary. Z-627 has the appearance of a crow, body ending with a striped orange tail. It is around 15 ft tall and 45 feet long. Z-627 was created as a test experiment due to Z-13’s mass breakout prior. It is made out of multiple different creatures such as: Crow, Tiger, Great White shark, ███████, and the secretary bird. It has orders to kill Z-13 if spotted. Due to Z-13’s SCRAMBLER, Z-627 wears a collar on its neck capable of responding to HQ when near it. If buzzing noises begin to emit from Z-627’s collar, Z-13 is near. Z-627 is able to withstand bullets, this was put into place after HQ received news of Z-13 carrying a gun with it. (presumably after killing elite guardsman ███████) Z-627 and Z-13’s previous relation can be seen underneath this document.

Previously, Z-627 was also known as Ollie ███ Solace. Z-627 is unaware of this. This information is strictly to not be shared with Z-627. Around the year 2015, when Z-13 was first brought in, security reported seeing a little boy also being taken in. He was later to be found out as Z-13’s little brother who followed the police cars who brought Z-13 to the Urbanshade’s laboratory. The guards who did not see Z-627 also entering the grounds were used as experiments as punishment. Z-627 said he followed his older brother after his sister had committed ███ due to what the press had said about her brothers actions previously. Due to Z-627 finding out about where Urbanshade’s laboratories were located, they could not let him go. Head doctor ████ suggested that the child should be taken in for testing. Later that month they conducted multiple different tests on the 10 year old, before turning Z-627 into the experiment it is today only weeks later.

Z-627 is to never be let out of the Blacksite until it has successfully killed Z-13 and brought back the experiment’s corpse as evidence. Z-627 is unable to talk from its beak, but the collar as previously stated, allows Z-627 to speak from it. Z-627’s collar is also used to keep the entity under Urbanshades control. If Z-627’s collar breaks, any previous orders about leaving Z-627 alone must be forgotten. New orders are to “gun that bird down like it’s hunting season.” as stated by Doctor ████ who completed the experiments on Z-627. 

If these documents are shown to unauthorized personnel, you'll be put up for demotion, and any cover-up fees will be sent to your relatives.

[He can smell fear. The stench of it is overpowering.]

[Corvus approaches, there he sees a small child on the ground crying. She has antlers. Scientists are all around her.]

[Nelly.]

[He screeches and charges forwards, he doesn’t care who he hurts. He will protect his friend.]

[Call HQ one of the scientists say, stepping away. Z-627 was hostile, this was not good. Not good at all.]

“GET BACK.”

[Corvus shrieks, both his collar activating and his vocal cords straining as more bird like noises of fury came out of his throat.]

[He will not loose anyone else.]

Nelly belongs to @theondnonly))

[what-the-crow-doing]

“Urbanshade has been… more demanding than usual lately. They are angry I have not found that bloody saboteur yet. How is that my fault? If even they can’t find it.”

[He looks angry now, how was he meant to find the other of even they couldn’t?]

“Soon. Soon I will find him. And when I do I’ll..”

[He side glances at Harper and shakes his head.]

“Nothing new? That’s a shame.”

[He flicks his tail apologetically.]

“I miss my dad, I saw him recently down here. Urbanshade wont leave he alone either.”

[poor poor Comet.]

[He went and sat down next to her, resting his head on the ground.]

@what-the-crow-doing

“Oh! Corvus!”

With the sight of the other, a more genuine sort of smile had found its way to her face. “How have you been? I feel as if it’s been some time since I’ve seen you last..”

[what-the-crow-doing]

[The panic in Kari’s tone was almost like a confession.]

“You LIE.”

[He screeched, rearing up and stomping his front legs down. His tail lashed in anger.]

“Mentally brace yourself? You will encounter what you have encountered here in there. They are angry, they want out. 100’s have tried and all have failed.”

[he chittered his beak in anger]

“Even so, I sense your anger and concern towards Urbanshade whenever I so much as mention it. Mind explaining?”

[Even though his collar has a robotic voice, there is menace in its tone.]

[This massive beast stalks from out of the darkness. Is it friendly? You do not know. All four eyes stare at you unblinking.] [It has a collar on, the words Z-627 are imprinted on the side. A striped tiger shark tail swishes from behind as the Corvid clicks it’s beak.]

[will you run? Or will you stand your ground.]

@what-the-crow-doing

Seeing something unfamiliar emerge from the darkness was, to say the very least, not exactly the most comforting thing to see. Nonetheless, Kari stayed put, feet feeling as if they were frozen to the ground. They opened their mouth to say something, anything.

“Ah — nice.. bird thing?”

The words were uncertain. Kari looked rather anxious all the while, one hand lifted up to their chest somewhat as they kept their eyes on the beast.

[what-the-crow-doing]

[If they had avoided Pandemonium then that wa something.. but still..]

“Fine. There are over 100 doors in total, the ones you need to go through are marked. The crystal should be at door 100? I am not sure. I don’t go to the ridge, I have no need to.”

[Z-13 avoids the ridge so why should I go somewhere where he won’t be.]

“Your best hope is to keep going forwards. Make sure you follow the navi-path that has been marked.”

[stay safe.]

[the wide-eyed figure trotted out of a side room. they looked over at corvus and flinched. their right antenna dimly blinked.]

"erm ... hello-hi ? who are you ? also ... have you seen lantern or flash light around ? too dark ... "

( @chloro-yippee-yay )

[It looks at the other with mild interest, all 4 eyes have a blue glow emanating from them.]

“They call me Z-627.”

[His Collar beeps, Corvus is curious. How strange that someone would come down here into the Blacksite without a light of all things.]

“Why have you been sent down here. Perhaps to retrieve the crystal? And no I have not seen a light source, I do not need one myself so I don’t bother with them.”

[how interesting.]
