Roll 1: WITH GUSTO
Jerry had showered, and eaten with renewed appetite. He had a mission. An amazing mission. The moment he had felt tired or worried or felt his mind wander, he just remembered that potential Island of Muses. This was what he needed. And he was ready to not rest (beyond what was necessary to function) until they had met their goal.
"Well... The more we er... cross off the list... the greater our chances are that one of those hundreds of thousands of portals left is the right one?" He ventured, sticking his head into a new one with less gusto than he had earlier that day.

"Right. That's the spirit." He guessed. It wasn't actually that motivational to state your chances by such high odds placed against you, but it was the first day they were out here and worth a few tries at the very least.
He tried his own portal, returning later as he brushed off a bit of hair. "Salon." He said, pulling off blue hair from his sleeve. He'd just seen a massive, blue beast get a trim and guessed that even monsters needed to be maintained in their rather revolting looks.

Roll 2 with some trepidation
"Oh, yeah, I think I popped into that one too earlier," Jerry laughed weakly, "Took me a while to shower the er... goop out. You came off lucky, ahaha." He steeled his courage and hopped into the next... only to see the familiar stretching halls of the haunted house.
He backed out quickly.
"Ok, that one was new. Don't go in that one." He didn't need to elaborate.

"One of the many." He told Jerry before steeling himself and trying another. Not even a minute later he was back out but no farther than a step away from the portal. "Jerry, get in here! I think I found it!"
He gestured for the man to follow and stepped in.The portal lead them to someplace indeed new.

From the moment Jerry had heard that music, he knew he had to go back. Alright, there could be disastrous results again. There were dangerous creatures out there but.... he had to go back. He had to meet that woman who's voice had permeated the jungle, lured him in. She would have answers.
After they had had sufficient amount of time to recover, get human again, and hit the library again (Jerry still kept as far from the labs as he could manage), they found themselves back in Halloween again, a determined expression on Jerry's face.
"We can do this." He murmured, sticking his head into a fresh portal.

Melvin had time to digest, consider, and finally give in to the original idea of going back to the island. Jerry had said he heard music, had been close to something, and Melvin wasn't feeling satisfied after doing all that research and only getting lost in the woods. He'd find the portal again and hear this music. He wanted just SOMETHING to show for all his effort.
Stepping into the woods again, he brought them to a area they hoped would bring about the portal again. "I hope so. If we can find that island, there should be some sort of ruins or something we can probably bring back to the labs." Something he could say he found to show the other techs.
The first portal had snow and Melvin knew by now just to jump out the moment he saw white.

Roll 2: Here we go again~
Jerry pulled back from another portal with a snarl of rage, "It's GOT to be here! We found it here before, didn't we?? Do they... d they just change randomly?"

Melvin returned back when Jerry snarled. "Portals never stay in the same place. The woods here change all the time and the portals with it. If there were portals just staying in place, then all those rooms we walked into would probably want to fix those gaping holes. I don't know enough about portals to know what brings about random portals though and there are a few theories about patterns, but that's not really a field I'm interested in. I just started reading about it." He was, after all, just a trainee Lifer and there was plenty of information out of his grasp.
"But that also means that there could be multiple portals to the same island at any given time. It's just trying. I think all the leg work is what keeps people from trying." He tried another portal only to peek into what looked like a department store where a demon was debating between Low-Fat or Low-Cal screamcheese.
Melvin returned back from that portal.

Roll 3:
Jerry hopped back out of a portal, still grumbling as he pulled several quills out of his shoulder. "The labs should concentrate on some way of predicting them. This is ridiculous."

"The labs work on a lot of fields. Portals are a department all there own among many." He said firmly, not wanting Jerry to step too far by starting to bash the Life Department. "I'm sure there are people on it anyways, and the fact that I've read information means they are working on it. You don't get answers right off the bat."
He went to try another portal, hoping Jerry wasn't going to get too frustrated. He had been excited before, but now that they had been on the island he only seemed aggravate. "The only way we'll find anything is to try."
He found a portal to the same supermarket, but this time it was a undead looking at a row of fake teeth. The advertisement said "Resists Brain Stains!". Melvin pulled out of the portal and walked back.

Roll 4: I just wanna' make you my muse, baby Alright. Alright, Jerry thought to himself as he pulled out of the most horrific pedicure parlor he had ever seen. Just keep positive! And so as he moved onto the next portal, he began to whistle, rather merrily.

Melvin tried another portal and found that while he found less holiday cheer, he was finding more random portals to places. This one having him in someone's garden as an elderly reaper fed some snapping Venus flytraps and cooed at them.
Returning back, he breathed out and heard Jerry whistling a tune. "So, what song did your muse sing?"
Roll 4: Cause the way you sing is driving me crazy

Roll 5: Through this quest we'll be less hazy
"It wasn't anything... specific," He replied thoughtfully, poking his head into another portal only to pull it out again with a rather green expression. "Uggg I hate the smell of fish..."
He coughed a few times, before smiling softly, "It was more..." He began to hum, but he couldn't quite pin it.

Melvin listened, but it was muddled. Like someone trying to recall a song they only heard once, and Melvin sighed. "I suppose maybe we'll find out what it is when we get there. If it's a muse, maybe we could record it's song somehow. If it's a minipet, maybe we can collect it." He hoped it was something more grand than just an exotic minipet, but anything would be preferred to nothing.
Melvin popped into another portal only to hop back out and shiver. "More elves." He pointed behind him.
Roll 5: I'll find you my love, sugar, daisy.

Roll 6: Just gotta' stop being lazy
"It wasn't about the TUNE," Jerry huffed, "It... it was like... you could feel it." He glazed over as he drifted through another portal, still humming...
... and continued to hum as he shuffled his way out again covered in octopus ink.
