Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yuki?" Mitsu questioned as she moved aside when Riyo brought Yuki into the room. She figured her intent would be to put him on the bed and she was currently in the way. "Come on Tobi," Following her the both of them watched on the sidelines as everyone questioned about what had happened.

Finally redressing after a nice long bath Neko exited the bathroom as Riyo came waltzing in with Yuki in her arms. It was like an after-wedding home coming....but all wrong. "What the hell?" Neko approached Riyo and helped to guide Yuki to the bed. Once he was placed down Neko began to look him over. "What the hell, man?" Placing his fingers over Yuki's eyelids he forced his eye open to make sure they weren't dilated. No worries there, so he must have passed out.

Since everyone else had already asked the needed questions Neko remained quiet waiting for the answers. In the mean time, he determined the best path to take to treating Yuki.

Suto watched in slight amusement as Poke took her frustrations out on the thick glass wall. Bringing up a finger he wagged it back and forth like a parent would do to scold a child. "Tsk tsk," Not that she could hear him but he still felt it worth saying. Grinning, Suto took his leave to go back to his lab to prepare for the time Poke would be brought to him.

A short time after Suto had left there was a slight knock on Poke's door. Without any words a small slot at the very bottom of the door opened and a tray of food slid into the room. It was nothing elaborate, sandwich and soup, but it was warm which no doubt would be welcome considering how cold the room was becoming.

"You have twenty minutes to eat your food," Came a gruff voice through the door. "I'll return after that to take you to Professor Suto." And with that, the voice fell silent leaving Poke to partake of her meal.

Riyo wasted no time laying Yuki down on the first bed available. Everyone looked panicked... While she looked pissed. "You know what? I don't know. He was chasing something, I was following him, and before I know it he's laying on the ground unconscious. Bleeding."

As Hanse asked where to put the a*****e of the current story, Riyo just shrugged. "Toss him anywhere, I don't care."

Atticus twitched at being referred to as a 'sack of potatoes'. "The ground is fine, thank you." His voice returning to it's usual key mid-sentence. Then, his eyes fell upon Riyo once again. "That was very uncalled for."

Riyo's eyes shot back to him the minute he directed his words toward her. Red eyes beaming like the tail lights of a car. "Uncalled for? You know what's uncalled for Atticus? Your cheap shots at me. So sorry I was born the wrong gender. Not my fault."

Following Riyo, the thief saw the half-dragon from before who was carrying Atticus. It was a bit odd to see him here all of the sudden, but he decided to not ask. There were other things to worry about, like what had happened to Yuki and the fact that tensions were rather high since Riyo seemed pretty angry.

"You two can bicker later, Yuki needs help right now."

With a sigh, he went to the bathroom to get some water. It may not be needed right away but sooner or later the wound was going to need some cleaning.

Well, Riyo's insight was a little less than helpful but that was no matter. Aside from a little outward damage Neko couldn't see anything else wrong with Yuki outside of pure exhaustion. "I think he'll be fine." He spoke directly to Hitsu since she was the only one who needed reassurance.

Ignoring everyone else Neko went about his task of opening up Yuki's shirt to see how bad off he was. It was easy enough to tell it was a stab wound but he surely wasn't going to vocalize that. Luckily it didn't look fatal but it needed to be addressed quickly. Stepping off to the side Neko took up his bag, placed it on the bed and began to shuffle through it. Shortly after he produced a flask and a clean cloth.

"Blade, get back in here I need you to hold Yuki down."

Neko went ahead and screwed the top off the flask to prepare to disinfect the wound. He knew Yuki was unconscious but it was hard to say how long that would continue once the alcohol hit the wound. "Brace his shoulders, I don't want him to come up swinging at me." Pushing the material of Yuki's shirt further away from the wound Neko prepared himself and waited for Blade to comply to his request.

As promised twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door, however, by that point the room was freezing. There was a seconds pause before the slot at the bottom of the door opened up again and a puff of purple smoke bellowed out from underneath it. It had a oddly sweet odor but looked to be nothing more than a parlor trick as it dissipated as soon as it rose into the air.

The first few moments would show no signs that anything had happened but shortly after the mind would start to go numb, the body would go limp, and though the victim would be awake they would be unable to move.

((The drug is meant to cause temporary paralysis but its meant for humans so I would imagine the effects on Poke may be even shorter. Could be the way she escapes? XD; ))

It was a good while before the door finally gave a small beep to indicate it was unlocked and slowly opened. The door creaked as it parted ways with the wall revealing a rather large...creature. It was hard to describe it as anything more than a giant mantis with human-like features. No doubt one of Suto's experiments he decided to use to do his little errands.

"C c come now," The voice was soft as the mantis man stepped up to Poke his buggy eyes staring at her face. "It'ssss time to go." A single claw like appendage made its way toward Poke as the Mantis tried to snag her shirt and pull her to her feet.

It was a huge pain to wait even longer untill she heard the beeps, and the door finally opened to reveal...

poke's eyes almost bulged as large as the bug mans eyes. Her heart was now hammering in her chest while the thing got closer towards her. Taking in every detail of this guy almost made her bolt for the door, but she stayed. She had to wait untill he was as far away from the door as possible.

Once the mantis reached down for poke, she exploded into movement. Jumping onto all fours she leaped to the left and then by-passed the mantis man, adrenanine pumping through her veins as every instinct in her body told her to RUN LIKE ******** MAD! she bolted towards the door and, tried to find another exit outside.

Ahhhhh s**t...

There were two things that made her think this. One, the place looked like a maze and she had no idea were to go from here. Two, the alarm had been set off, which meant she may end up meeting some more freak shows, and who knows how strong they could be. There was also the fact she had no weapon, her staff last left in the hotel were they stayed.
However there was one thing she could do, and that was to run down the hallway and keep running and hope it would lead her somewhere good.

She ran at a slow yet steady pace, not wanting to tire to quickly in case she met someone else besides the mantis man.
