[NETWORK] An Announcement
Who: Ade Bennett
Username: ade37
Warnings: Vague references to animal cruelty
Hi everyone. This is Ade. Just a quick announcement to expect some new faces around the office from here on out.
[ Here, he has attached a photo of three albino rats cuddled up in a little hammock inside their cage. It’s the cutest, most photogenic picture he could take with his limited photography skills. ]
These guys came from ADI’s medical labs, so it’s safe to say they’ve been through a lot. I thought I’d give them a well-earned retirement. Couldn’t get ADI to waive their no-pets policy in the apartments but they did say I could keep them in the HQ itself, so… here they are. I’ll be handling their upkeep, so no one else has to worry about it.
A few notes: please don’t feed them any junk food. They can eat fruits or vegetables sometimes as treats, but other than that, they should be sticking to rodent food from the pet store. Also, be gentle if you handle them, and don’t forget to make sure the cage door is fully latched when you put them back in. I’ve heard they can be real escape artists.
Finally, I hope nobody needs to hear this, but just in case: don’t be an arsehole. If you have a problem with the rats or don’t want them here, talk to me and I’ll work something out. Don’t take it out on them. Don’t manhandle them either. They’re animals, not toys. If you want to handle them and don’t know how, ask me and I’ll show you.
I’ll be hanging out here for a little bit, so if you want to come meet them, now’s a good time. Also: I don’t have nicknames for them yet. I still haven’t figured out how to tell them apart so I’ve been putting it off. If you can think of some good ones for three boy rats, go ahead and drop them here. Thanks.

no subject
It wouldn't scare anyone to just take them out for a stroll every once and a while, would it? Not like there's a entity of rats or anything.
no subject
Technically speaking though rats fall under the Corruption, I think. Any kind of, you know, 'creepy crawly', which I think could easily include bugs and mice if you were scared of diseases or things like that. They're broad categories, after all. Hard to fit everything anyone could be afraid of into a couple of options.
no subject
[ Ade sure hopes not. Nothing about the Entities is fair, but it seems to add an additional layer of cruelty to have animals fall under their purview. ]
no subject
Or at least, that's how it seems to be. Anything that can be scared must have fear.
