[ You have fallen onto a noisy street. After all the cold, the silence, the cacophony of city sounds blankets your ears muffles that feeling of abandonment. The street is dirty, and neon all around you advertises: Gambling! Fight pits! Come get your money's worth, restaurants, bars. They demand attention, and you could walk into any one of them.

Or, you might notice the alley ways before you enter. On the ground there's bodies: chalk outlines around those twisted at strange angles. Like crime scene photos, but you know how you got here. And if you look at the bodies too long, you can see the echo: shadows that are pale rather than darker, of missing wings upon their back.

The crowds on the street take no notice of you, or those bodies. ]

What kind of idiot calls that small...

I can keep lookout, but is splitting up right now a good idea?

Our idiot. If it was me, I'd be freaking out. I'm still freaking out, but he doesn't want that. So, I guess I'll just be relieved he's handling it well.

We definitely can't split up and we definitely can't have any more big scenes like that. We have to be smarter and quieter. Listen in and talk to people and ask questions, but don't make it too obvious we don't belong here.

[ Shifts his wings that he has not unmanifested yet. ]

Already working on blending in. Don't let Aries put his extra legs away. It helps keep us from looking like humans.

I'm thinking me and Aries take the guy into the bathroom. Coyote watches the door. You walk around and listen in.

Around the bar? I can do that. I want to check our phone reception as well. It may have re-connected when we...traveled.

[Scrubbing at his face, deep breath]

Mm. Look at things, listen to convos... Avoid touching things until we're back. I'm not sure what we're going to do with that guy, but we'll have to be careful if he tries another trick, so just me and Aries are going to handle him.

If you think someone is catching on to you or trouble is starting just disengage. Calmly. Rejoin Coyote. Wait until we're all regrouped before starting again. Okay?

[ Turns to face Silver more directly. ]

I will not do anything to put us at greater risk than we are already facing.

[Ruffles Talon's hair]

Thank you.

[ Normally that's soothing, but given their situation and how weary Silver looks, it just sets a worried frown on his face. ]

...We will make it back. You watch Aries, I'll watch Coyote, and we will find our way out.

We'll get out of here. We have to. I have to see Gold and the tinies and Haruto and Whisky. And I can't let you guys stay here, so there's only one outcome and that's out. Just gotta focus on how....

None of us are going to stay here. None of us should be here at all, especially you and Coyote.

No "especially". No one is more special than anyone else. "None of us should be here", that's all.

[ He would really like to argue that, but this seems like bad timing for it. Just huffs softly instead. ]

Understood.

I'll be right back.

[Going to assist Aries]

Alright.

[ Well. First things first he's going to check to see if his phone is working at all and keep an eye on the surrounding bar patrons at the same time, keeping an ear out for anything that sounds vaguely useful. ]

[ Your cellphone is indeed working again!

None of the conversation sounds that useful, unless you really care about the squabbles of the junior philosophy club of the damned. The person at the dartboard is playing quietly, not talking about anything. You could talk to them, if you wanted to do some general info gathering, probably. ]

[ He probably should do that.

But first he is going to try to send a text to B. Will this work y/n ]

[ Sure, what are you sending? ]

[ He's sending a simple text to let B know they haven't died.

If nothing bizarre happens with his phone after that, he's going to head over to the guy at the dartboard under the guise of watching the game. ]

[ It neither sparks nor bursts into flame.

The person is pretty decent at darts. Not great, but that's probably due to the fact they've got on eye-patch on. Pretty good for completely lacking in depth perception darts.

It's difficult to tell if this person is human or not. They're not wavering the way the others in the bar were, but you're not seeing any super obvious signs of inhumanity, either. ]

[ Prrrrobably a safe bet to try to get some info from. And easier to focus on than some of the other patrons. ]

You are not half bad at this. Are you from around here?

[ Smooth. ]

[ They turn their head away from the darts entirely, since the eye-patch does mean a fairly limited field of vision. ]

No more than you are, yeah? Don't see a lot of transplants from the lady of Delphi's pricedom around here.

We do not plan to stay long. As soon as our business here has been dealt with, we will be returning there.

[ Probably. At least, he's guessing that place must be where the idol facilities are located. Princedoms seem like the kind of place that could maintain that, right? ]

Are you from there as well?

Ouch. Well, I guess if that's the poison you prefer.

[ A little shrug and a grin: ]

Shows, doesn't it? Not that you could get me to return to that house of mirrors for anything under the sun.

[ Tilts his head, distinctly curious now. ]

Is that so? What about it do you find so distasteful?
