Bouncing in place, Bent-Tail soon perked up as Felix offered to play a little game. Oh fun! He enjoyed to play this with Milo. While he was usually the one that was chased, he didn't care. It was still enjoyable either way.
Crouching down to mimic the cat's actions first, he soon bolted off towards Riyo, bouncing off her leg before running over towards Shun.
Briefly, Shun had looked away to glance towards the panel. Though, he soon turned his attention back to the minis, frowning as he recognized the body language going on.
"Hey.." he started, trying to get the mouse to settle down, but it was too late.

As the mouse darted off, Felix almost immediately gave chase. He tried to perfectly mimic the mouse's actions... But being a little bit bigger it wasn't as easy for him.
Riyo jumped at the feeling of something on her, eyes now focusing back on the two minipets chasing each other around, grabbing for the cat when he jumped off her leg as well.
Fortunately, the hazcat was much more agile than she gave him credit for, just barely escaping her grasp.
"Jack dammit Felix!" Riyo shouted and stood up so the mini's couldn't jump all over her. This enclosed space was getting to her more and more by the minute.
"... I wonder if we could get out ourselves..." It was thinking out loud, and while it might've been a mistake considering the company, Riyo was about willing to try anything at this point.

The cat was a quick one! This was good, because it wasn't fun if the chaser wasn't very good at doing that. Letting out a happy little squeal, he bounded off of Shun's legs as well while running on around the elevator.
"Bent-Tail, cut that out," snapped Shun, though the mouse didn't listen. He was having fun here! No one was getting hurt, so it was all good.
Letting out a huff, he stood up as well before looking over towards Riyo when she murmured something about getting out themselves.
"Heh. Would have teleported the hell out of here ages ago if I knew exactly where the floors were," he murmured before looking up. Perhaps there was some sort of hatch that could be opened up there. Some elevators had them and all.

Riyo's first thought upon hearing the teleporting comment was that the reaper would've left her behind to wait out the hour...
While it enraged her... It probably would've been more bearable than this. Oh well.
"Who needs teleporting? We'll just have to do stupid stunts like in the movies and hope to Jack we don't accidentally fall down the shaft and die gruesome deaths." Riyo pointed to the ceiling as she spoke, which... Incidentally did have a hatch.
"Well would you look at that."
Unfortunately, very much like the movies, neither of them were tall enough to reach it on their own. ********.
Before Felix could jump off Shun's leg like his new mouse acquaintance, the boil had stood up, causing the feline to miss entirely and plant his masked face into the metal wall. "Meowwwwwww..." The nergal cat cried before slowly backing up and shaking his head.

The elevator did indeed have a hatch. But they couldn't exactly reach it. Again, teleporting would not help him here, seeing how they'd have to push it open rather than pull. There weren't exactly good railings along the wall of the area too, that they could try to climb up onto.
Hearing the meow, Shun glanced down at Felix, who seemed a little disoriented.
"You ok there little guy?" He murmured before looking back towards the hatch. Grimacing, he realized that pretty much the only way they could access it was if one boosted the other.
"How good is your balance?" he asked the feline girl. As much as he would rather not work with her, the situation kind of called for it right now. At least, it did in his mind.
Bent-Tail paused in his running and doubled back around, tilting his head at Felix, wondering if the cat was feeling alright. He didn't see the crash, but he did hear a thud.

Felix gave a quiet meow to Shun's question, taking a moment to sit down and wait for the number of people he saw to decrease back to two. Both he and Riyo knew it wasn't the first time he'd run into a wall... And it probably wouldn't be the last.
When Shun questioned her balance, Riyo folded her arms and cocked an eyebrow. "I'm a cat. How do you think my balance is?" Superb, of course. "... Why?"
Narrowing her eyes, she looked from Shun, to the hatch, back to Shun, then to the hatch again. "... Oh." Often she answered her own questions... And sometimes she wished he hadn't. "I'm not sure how comfortable I am being that close to you..." The feline mumbled, looking down at her watch... And seeing that only 10 minutes had passed.
Well...
"... If we do this... We must never speak of this day to anyone."

Just saying that she was a cat wasn't much of an answer to him. There were always those who broke stereotypes and whatnot. He was about to answer her, but it seemed that she had figured it out on her own. Aside from that, she had to get all uncomfortable and whatnot. While he wasn't thrilled either, he was going to bear with it.
"Fine. But really, all you're doing is stepping on me," he said flatly. Surely with her attitude, she wouldn't mind seeing it that way. It annoyed him personally, but seeing how he was probably heavier than her, it didn't make a great deal of sense to do it the other way around.
Grimacing, he positioned himself under the hatch, spreading his legs apart a bit so he had a good stance and folding his arms to make a sort of platform for her.
The idea that she could just ditch him did cross his mind, but as long as he was able to see out the hatch, he could kind of take care of things on his own.. hopefully.

As Shun got into position, Riyo did her best to pretend he was just a set of stairs... Not a boil. Just some stairs. Yeah.
Grabbing her hat and putting it back on, the ghoul took a careful step onto Shun's arm, and pushed herself off the ground with the other.
As far as balance went, she hadn't been lying. her tail seemed to be keeping her steady.
"Alright." She mumbled nervously, glad that she had never been very fond of skirts... Or this might be a lot more awkward than it needed to be.
Carefully, her hands reached up to push open the hatch. It was obvious the small door wasn't open much, because the creaking noise it made was almost unbearable... But as soon as it was open, the feline made an effort to climb ontop of the cab.
"Can you... Push me up a little?" She called back, needing a small boost to get all the way up.

Looking less than pleased, Shun remained steady while Riyo climbed on up. There was no point in making this harder for her than it needed to be. But at least she had a pretty good foothold onto him. When she asked for a boost, he nodded and pushed her on up towards the hatch. Hopefully it would be enough for her to be able to clime on up and through.

Clawing at the roof, it took Riyo a moment to pull herself up. The ghoul was far from peak physical condition, after all. "Alright... I'm up." It sounded like she was a little out of breath...
Taking a moment to look around the shaft, she grimaced at the condition everything was in. "Ugh."
No time to piss around, though.
"Here." Begrudgingly, the cat demon held her hand down to the reaper. "I'll pull you up." ... Or try to, at least. She may have hated him, but Riyo wouldn't leave somebody in a hole after they helped her. It was a matter of pride and a refusal to sink as low as... Some people she knew.

Once she was pulled up, Shun went on to grab Felix so the cat could go up as well. He then picked up Bent-Tail, setting him onto his should before looking up at the hatch. The guy was mildly surprised with Riyo offering her hand down to pull him up, even if she seemed reluctant to do so.
Glancing at her hand, he went on and took it. The Reaper didn't know if she could pull him up all that well, but he really only needed a small boost to get up anyway.
"Ready when you are," he murmured.

Riyo already knew this would hurt. A shame she was doing this for an enemy... Who was most likely heavier than she was.
As he grabbed her hand, the feline used her other to brace his arm and give her more of a hold on it. "Here we go." The last part of her sentence was strained as she started to pull the reaper up. Oh Jack he was heavy...
The ghoul's face soon turned red from the strain, managing to lift Shun up a couple of inches but finding it difficult to pull him the rest of the way.

As he was pulled up a few inches, Shun could tell that Riyo was straining quite a bit here. Grimacing, he launched his other hand up to just barely reach the ledge of the hatch. That was good enough.
"You can let go now," he murmured, figuring he'd save her the rest of the strain. Letting out a breath, he got his other hand in place before swinging lightly so he could pull himself up and out of the hatch. Unlike with the demon, he didn't struggle too much with the maneuver.
Once he was on top of the elevator, he sighed and looked around. It certainly wasn't a pretty sight.

As soon as Shun said it was fine to let go, Riyo didn't hesitate. It would've been his fault for saying the wrong thing, after all. "I... Need to start going to fitness club..." She panted, taking a moment to catch her breath before she stood as well.
"Alright... So we made it..." She started, wiping her forehead of sweat. "... What now?" Even if they made it up to the door, they'd have to pry it open...
As Shun grabbed Felix, the cat held onto the boils other shoulder, watching the scene intently. Why were they doing this? He wasn't sure, but it was fun!

Looking up to where the next floor was, it didn't seem too hard to get up to it. There appeared to be plenty of holds he could use, and if not, there was the elevator cable he supposed.
"Climb up to the door and teleport to the other side. There shouldn't be anything directly on the other side of it so it should be safe," he said plainly. Shun's eyes remained on the area around the door, trying to plot out the best route to take to climb.
