[Drolic Ghorat]

For Umbra and Fiosdae:

The hallway drops at a steep incline here before opening out into a solarium of sorts. It juts out from the side of the ship, allowing for one entire wall and part of the connecting floor and ceiling to be made of glass. Very strong, bulletproof glass. There are exits to the

- WEST through a door with a skull sticker on it
- SOUTH through a waist-high hole
- and to the EAST through the door you just came through

Which way do you want to go?

(( You can pick a direction to travel in, but I won't post again until your new day starts. ))

[Huni Pi]

((Team names = WIN ))

[Smerdle]

(( Ho snap, I forgot to label that post for Team Steamcat. (totally not really calling them that, don't worry XD) ))

[Daekie]

Umbra took on a pondering look. "Ooookay, they both look icky..." she waited a moment. "Gear, decide. I'm not deciding this one. And no, we're not going back!" Her tail swished back and forth impatiently.

[lithle]

((Huni, your This is Halloween char looks awesome. Is that a new shop?))

[Smerdle]

(( Shop is here. I've been sitting on my hands so I won't apply as a guest artist aaaa ))

[Smerdle]

(( I guess. *pouts* XD

Witch n Manda should use their hints. hahaha Or not. I'm just being silly. ))

Elly watches as people leave in different directions, and pauses for a good second to try and pick one for herself.

"Whatchu think, Smuffers?" she asks, poking the hedgehog gently. It unravels and yawns, moving just a few inches to the left on her head. She shrugs down at her platypus, who is doing figure eights between the moose's hooves.

Heke, in the meantime, is still blocking out sight of himself behind the moose's bulky body (but he determined it's a very unsafe place, after it freaked the hell out when the ship took off). It's taking all of his own nerve not to follow in the freaking out; these people just took them prisoner, essentially. And by the sight of the increase in guards, his assumption is correct.

A rather young looking guard, probably a new recruit, steps out from a hallway that someone has just turned down. He looks not even teen aged, though his armor makes the boy think twice about crossing his path. Heke shuffles back behind the moose.

Elly, quite bored of standing still, spins gingerly on the spot, her tail countering the motion. A bright idea hits her; she covers her eyes with one hand and extends the other with a pointed finger. She spins harder and comes to an abrupt stop, pointing, roughly, at one hallway, while successfully losing all sense of direction.

"That way!" she chimes, scooping up the platypus. "Let's go!"

The moose follows Elly obediently, but Heke, not paying attention to the childish teen on his right, is suddenly exposed as his cover moves away. He nearly yelps, biting his tongue and darting back behind the moose, now keeping pace.

This is all the evidence the guard needs of suspicious behaviour. Drolic had sent Josh to keep a strict eye on "the one with the animals" because of the obvious disguise factor amongst any one of them. That, and whoever this woman was that the scary a** alien wanted to find, she liked her animals.

Josh figures that if this woman is a mastermind like his (involuntary) new boss makes her out to be, she wouldn't show up at her own capturing party with something that'd so obviously give her away. But then, he rethinks this; maybe she would do this, knowing how obvious it'd look, therefore doing it to throw them off. He shakes his head as his thoughts become muddled up, and breathes in heavily. Eyes on the prize.

He follows a few feet behind the group of weirdos into the next room - really? a stick thin blond girl with a hedgehog for a hair tie, a platypus in her arms, and a moose leaving a path of drool? And he swears he saw a kid with green hair follow them in.

[Yaaaay playing three people who don't know each other (and three animals) is funnn! XD]

[Tamawolien]

(( I am not at all opposed to a hint 8DD ))

[Daekie]

((And Manda uses her hint. <3 I presume we share hints, and we get two altogether?))

[Smerdle]

(( You get three. And if you split up, you both get what you didn't use.

So if you were to split up after I send Manda this hint (which I'll do in a bit) you would still each get the remaining 2. ))

[Tamawolien]

(( Oooh. Sounds interesting o: We can wait to use the others later or see if they split up or what XD *curious about this one now tho* lulz ))
