Aedus waited for everyone else to get straight before going very far since, that grimms idea about whistles was a good one. He didn't want to keep Niamh out in this mess any longer than he had to. The sooner they found the kid and found each other again, the sooner they could all get back to the bunker where they should all be safeish. Least he hoped they and everyone else would be safe, if something happened to the bunker Aedus wasn't sure what they would or should do. He sighed rubbing his face it seemed like forever ago he was going to get pizza with Niamh.

Coco stepped forward a little looking up and down the dark areas, thinking about where a freshling might be hiding. She nodded to Vanna and Eilwen, they were right of course it was safer to stay together. She hoped that they wouldn't need to split up to find the freshling, it was hard enough wondering if Calypso was alright somewhere out in the darkness. Coco hadn't seen her in the bunker what if she didn't survive?? The thought was too much for Coco to consider she shook her head to clear the thought away if she let it form fully she would start to cry for sure.

Going to help!
She nodded, and trailed off after her friend. "I think it sounds best to come back if we find them ... I mean, we wouldn't want to get uh ... caught out here." She fingered the whistle, while glancing down the hall. The small Fey made sure to bend down, and check under a table leaning on the wall.
Ahead, the hall forked. "Left or right Aedus?"

Adee watched the fallen approach her, and shot her a smile. She stuck out her hand in a business-like manner. "Nice to meet you, I'm Adalyn. Adee works, too. " She looked her new companion up and down, nodding approvingly. Seemed like someone who wanted to get things done, maybe someone who also wanted answers.
"I was planning on heading to the upper levels. I think it's most likely that Freshling would try to hide somewhere they knew, not somewhere down here." She considered for a moment, watching other groups milling around. "Unless you have a better idea. I won't pretend to be an expert on children - I'm a law student, not a caregiver in training." She laughed quietly.

"Now, the questions is. Where would they have gone?" If they had left the bunker in order to look for someone, they probably would have gone to the upper levels. Were they trying to leave the Academy? She sure hoped not, if any of their doors or windows were tampered with, who knows what could end up getting in. She was a little nervous about head upstairs, afraid of seeing any of the windows or door guards down.
"I think maybe the freshling dorms might be a good place to start?" Maybe they just wanted to go back to their own room. If the kid was a student at the Academy it made sense.

Vanna was slightly uncharacteristically quiet as they searched. However it was mostly how he worked. Mai liked to joke that he had a normal friendly family mode and a more work mode. He hadn't yet seen her at the academy so he hoped that she was safe. However he trusted her ability to look after herself. It was why she didnt have guards watching her. Mai had a very hard steel spine. he cleared his thoughts and shifted to the present. "Its as good of place to start as any and gives us a plan. I dislike wandering around in the dark with out one" Vanna replied. Besides aimlessly wandering around and calling out for a child would be a sure fire way to gain unwanted attention to yourself.
Annabelle held her mouth tight as she watched the group coming with her. She wasn't happy, which was a rare emotion for the grimm these days. Combine the fact that the academy was in a place of distress (which she didn't blame Ava, the woman had tried for awhile to up security without approval from the board), and not only that but Mink had endangered them. No, it wasn't just that, it was also the fact that now she too was doing the same. She should have gone on the search alone. If anything happened....
Luckily, Kingston snapped her from her thoughts, head canting to the side as pink eyes locked on him. Clever. She kicked herself mentally for not thinking it up before. She really needed to stop focusing on her frustrations. Mink and everything else could wait until after they found the child.
"Yes, that's a wonderful idea. We'll do that." She raised her voice so the others would hear her.
"We'll whistle messages, thanks to Kingston's clever idea. One for danger, two for we found the child, three for we need to get to the bunker now."Aedus spoke, causing an ear to flick up.
"When you find the child whistle twice and head to the bunker. Everyone should return once you hear the sound. The faster we're back the faster we can attend to the child's needs."

Tension ran through Ella's body, hot to the core. She wasn't sure what made her sign up to help find the child, perhaps the surge of confidence would vanish within minutes and she'd be left as a useless shell. Her hands were intertwined together, tail between her legs as she stood there, listening to Annabelle. It was surreal seeing the woman who had helped raise her in these halls holding such an expression. This wasn't a normal day. Annabelle wasn't chasing after freshlings to get them to bed or offering parents advice. She wasn't ordering the other caretakers or taking inventory. She was the head of a rescue group, and it left a sour taste in Ella's mouth. It reminded her that today was not yesterday, and most likely tomorrow wouldn't be, either. Today was frightening. Today was wrong.
Today was horrible.

Kappa didn't know why he thought leaving the bunker was a good idea. This was something Kappa wasn't supposed to do, he knew it. He was wired to run away, not go towards danger. Yet, something had clicked in him. What if the child had been Alice years ago? They were alone and most likely frightened. They needed someone. That feeling had surged a response to exit the bunker when prompted, but not his bravery was wearing off.
This was a stupid, no good idea!
However, seeing Annabelle did help. She was the head caretaker, that meant it was her job to protect the children. She had something that qualified her for that position. They'd be safe by her side, right? Ava choose her, and the headmaster trusted her enough to put her in a position of power. They'd be okay.... right?

Astra turned as she popped up onto the top step, turning to the other two. "It's a shame there aren't four of us. we could have split up."

Feel free to have them take over leading– or to direct her where to go! Astra's just the sort of person who would itch and jump to.
Aedus nodded his thanks to Annabelle and Kingston, the information was important for keeping everyone as safe as possible. Get in, get the kid, get out. Simple as possible. Aedus then spotted Kappa near Annabelle and he called out softly still. "Hey, Kappa do you want to come in Niamh and my group??" His words were still gruff as they normally were, but Annabelle had said to stick together and Niamh had been worried about Kappa being ok before. Besides Aedus had let Kappa sleep in his room, might as well invite them along for the search too, he was a bit surprised that Kappa had left the bunker, though. Aedus looked at Niamh and said "You go ahead and pick the direction."

Coco nodded to Eilwen, then listened to Annabelle happy to have a whistle code plan. She repeated in her head so she wouldn't forget the codes. "Maybe they left someone important to them in the dorm?? That sorta makes sense." Coco said agreeing with Eilwen. "Maybe they forgot a favorite toy? Or a picture of their family??" Coco wondered as they were waiting for Vanna and Kingston to be ready to go. Coco held her whistle again, she also liked Annabelle instruction that they would be heading back to the bunker right away after the signal was sounded not spending time finding everyone. Which likely would put them all at risk.

Liam shrugged. "That just means we'll have to be more creative, and hope we're not the only ones searching upstairs. Honestly this place is so massive I doubt we'll be able to cover it all in a safe amount of time."
He mulled silently for a bit, looking at their options. "Let's try to think like a kid would. Why would they leave? If they're scared, they would have been more likely to stay with the group. So if they slipped out and actually wandered off, maybe it was for a reason. A precious item or a familiar they left behind." He looked inquiringly at Astra. "Maybe the dorms would be a good place to try to check? Which way are they?"
Sorry for the sudden string of quotes! Finally got a moment to sit down and write!

Kingston gave a faint smile to Annabelle. He was glad that he could help and gave her a reassuring smile. "We will find the child." He tried to assure the other grimm. He then turned to rejoin his friends.
"I think starting in the freshling dorms is the wisest. They might have wanted to go somewhere familiar." It was rather scary out here. "We all set? Let's get moving." He was trying to think of other places a child could be. The cafeteria? One of the classrooms?
Kuni nodded when Gaius pulled out the light and nodded. "Zat's sensible." Hm, why hadn't he thought of using his phone? He didn't pull it out, though--he didn't want to be holding it if danger popped up. "I sink ve should check ze closets, like Gaius said," he said. Ashi had a point, though... "I sink...it could be possible zat ze child vas lured out? But I don't know how ve could use zat idea to form a search pattern." He shrugged. "I'm open to suggestions. Teamvork is still a new sing for me."

Illya shook the hybrid's hand gratefully. Yes, this one seemed a sensible choice for a search partner--business-like professional--that sort of thing. "I'm pleased to meet you, Adalyn." She thought about the upstairs, then nodded. "I think that's a good idea. I don't have a better one myself--I'm not a caretaker and I didn't grow up around here. I'd like to get started as soon as possible, if that's alright with you." A law student--even better! "You must be at Asterion, then," she said. "My alma mater!"
