Re: THE CITY

[eonsadrift]

We got a hat or something ridiculous like that.

I'd rather go through the city. I can fly, and an ability like that is useless underground.

Re: THE CITY

[wooliefrand]

[SPEAKING OF FLYING whats that whizzing noise OH SHIT DID A SHOOTING STAR JUST CRASH INTO THE ALLEY

IT'S THE LITTLE WISH BAT THING]

HELLO CLOVER IT IS I--wait what are you all doing out here. You can't use your blessing here! Well not until you--eh. You'll figure it out.

GET BLESSED IDIOTS.

[IT SMACKS ZENITH WITH ITS WAND

CONGRATS YOU HAVE YOUR POWER WHICH I WILL LOOK UP LATER AGAIN. EXCEPT YOU CAN'T USE IT RN SO ITS A MOOT POINT.


there are some voices from the street though: Hey, what was that? Quick, someone find security!]

Re: THE CITY

[psynchroneyes]

What the f—who?!

[ But, ah. The voices out in town. Spinel hisses out with a hushed voice: ]

You—get outta here! The rest of you, enough talking! We can't all be together, so some of you go in there!

Re: THE CITY

[jerkalope]

[ also wanted to say "What the f—who?!" but was busy fishing out the coin to hand over with two paws ]

Who's the most conspicuous?

Re: THE CITY

[doggonemad]

[ ALREADY SCRAMBLING OFF TO THE SEWER!! ]

Re: THE CITY

[aididitmyway]

[there's just a high-pitched, but quiet, squeak]

I'm coming with you—

Re: THE CITY

[throughbamboo]

[what the fuck.

Okay, sewer time]

Re: THE CITY

[eonsadrift]

[ SMACKED?! ]

GET BACK HERE YOU-

[ The voices make his mouth snap shut and his voice drop to a hiss. He throws his hood up over his head. ]

Shut up and cover your faces. We'll try to blend in this way.

Re: THE CITY

[psynchroneyes]

Uh—

[ RIGHT okay. she's also gonna quickly throw up the hood of her own hoodie ]

Re: THE CITY

[aididitmyway]

[yes ok she's throwing her own hood up, because she at least wore a hoodie too]

Right...

Re: THE CITY

[failsaver]

[ digs Ceo's remote out from his jacket ]

If I have to go down there, one of you should take this. I brought it for the scent, so...

Re: THE CITY

[aididitmyway]

I'll take it!

I've got a bag for it and everything~ I'll keep it safe.

Re: THE CITY

[failsaver]

'kay.

[ hands it over!

... then looks at the bell, teleports a book-sized chunk off it, and stuffs that in his jacket. perfect for emergency bonking. look, he's not crazy enough to take the whole (half) bell in there.

OKAY SEWER TIME BYE ]

1/3

[wooliefrand]

[uh oh THE MAN is coming down the alley--by which I mean two humanoid wolves! One is wearing a mask, the other is just a fucking furry. They call out, seeing the crowd of people:

Hold there, what are you all doing--wait, what's that smell? That thing. . .

It's from one of those pastures?!

They point. . .

At the wish bat]

Wait what?

HEY NO I GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS HEY--!!

[Time for two wolves to dogpile and try to arrest a magic bat.

You all get out of here, it's not safe!!]

2 - CITY CREW

[wooliefrand]

[so with THAT distraction, as long as their hoods are covering their faces, those staying up top can slink out, for now. If they look back to the sky, they'll see something like a firework--the little bat making its escape.

But no time for that now! YOU MADE IT FOLKS, YOU'RE IN THE SANCTUARY. And there are, more people here than expected. The area is still a bit grey and lackluster, lacking the lush fields of the pasture and meadow, but it's not the Mist. Most people are wearing masks, and though some are clearly furries, some look near human--aside from tell-tale signs like a little tail or ears or horns. Wait, horns?

Yep, some people have sheep features it looks like. Hell, some ARE actual little sheep. . .but, their colors are that of flocks not seen in the pasture normally. Huh!

Anyway, most people seem to be in a hurry, some lining up to receive supplies and food, others taking a moment to just breathe on a bench, happily chatting with their neighbors.

After all this time I thought there wasn't any safe place left. . .

Same, especially after our pasture fell to the King.

Do you think they got the nightmares under control. . .?

Just little snippets like that. So while most of the city is grey, and most buildings boarded up, the air of attitude isn't totally somber.

That said! There sure is a fancy looking semi-sky scraper office building up ahead. Wonder what that's about!!]

Re: 2 - CITY CREW

[psynchroneyes]

[ Whoa...

Spinel does pause, once it's safe to, to get a good look around. But once they'd have their fill of overhearing conversations, she glances at the others and wordlessly cants her head to the side—time to move somewhere where talking won't get them into trouble. ]

Re: 2 - CITY CREW

[eonsadrift]

[ He's definitely taken aback by the amount of normal, humanoid creatures inhabiting this "sanctuary", observing the sheep in particular as he sticks close to Spinel and Lyra.

He gives her a curt nod, shuffling along with his head down, hood up, and as inconspicuous as possible. Just minding his own business over here. ]

Re: 2 - CITY CREW

[aididitmyway]

[Lyra notices, and follows after Spinel in search of a safe place.

Or is she just staring in wonder? Who knows, because this is wild. She never starts from the group though.]

Re: 2 - CITY CREW

[wooliefrand]

[Zenith will note the sheep look pretty okay!! There IS one color that they may recognize though. Here and there, they might see a peony-pink sheep.

There are plenty abandoned shopfronts! They can likely duck into one that's all boarded up.

If Lyra stares too hard tho she WILL start getting looks though--or at least maybe they're looks? It's hard to tell what with the masks and all.

Re: 2 - CITY CREW

[psynchroneyes]

[ If she notices Lyra staring too hard, Spinel's gonna nudge at her side with an elbow, but otherwise silently move on.

Until they reach an area that seems clear, and—yep let's go inside somewhere empty! Yaaaay. ]

... Hey, we're trying to be lowkey here...

3 - UNDER CREW

[wooliefrand]

[The chaos above allows you to slip into the manhole unnoticed! And boy howdy hope you noticed the ladder, because if not, it's a LONG way down. It's nearly pitch black!

You can hear the sounds of rushing water below, but also. . .laughter?

Descend carefully--what do?]

Re: 3 - UNDER CREW

[doggonemad]

[ slides down the ladder, looking for any pipes he can maybe leap onto or just, like, solid ground. ]

Re: 3 - UNDER CREW

[throughbamboo]

[he is not sliding down, but he is being careful to keep quiet when he hears the laughter]

Re: 3 - UNDER CREW

[failsaver]

[ flying down because he can. he's keeping one hand on the ladder in case he gets lost! you never know. ]

Re: 3 - UNDER CREW

[wooliefrand]

[HASTE MAKES WASTE

Hannya and Narrah reach the bottom quickly--but missed the security measure on the ladder. A gas starts hissing into the tunnel! However, Nue will come across a switch of sorts on his slow descent. It's hard to see in the dark, but hey, a wolf wouldn't need to see it.

ROLL 1D10. If lower than 6, CONGRATS, YOU'RE FURRIES NOW. Which is to say they turn into wolves (but like, still human shaped. Not werewolves!)

NUE: Flip the switch LEFT or RIGHT? He's got a 50/50 chance of turning off the security gas before it gets him or had worse affects on the others.]
