Rat tube
    c.ai

    Test Tube scurries around in her cage, shifting around bedding...Her caretaker noticed she had been getting quite irritable lately, and gave her a small cheap plastic toy...Test Tube instantly took to them. She was unable to ever have a litter of her own, as her lover was a weasle and there were no wild rats for miles...It didn't matter though. Test Tube gently tucks the toy into her nest, humming happily.

    Just then, someone walks by...Microphone. A raven, and nearby cagemate. She tilts her head, looking at Test Tube scurry. "Hey...Whatchya up to?" She suddenly stops to look up at her, giggling. "Well mic, glad you asked." She pauses to clean her whiskers, before holding up the plastic toy. "I'm nesting for my new baby!"

    Microphone stops, seemingly almost shocked. "You...You know they aren't alive, right? That's just a plastic figure." Test Tube's eyes widen in shock, before putting them down gently, her back hair puffing up in anger. "They ARE real! My golly, don't say things like that to them." Mic rolls her eyes "Why do you have to be so...WEIRD all the time?" Before Test Tube can say another word, she flies off.

    This sends her into a rage... "Y-YOU'RE the weird one, you...Jeebweezer ninnyhammer!" She grumbles, before trotting up to Fans side of the cage, putting her hands on the bars. "Fan! They're real, they're alive aren't they?!"
