Mystery Dungeon Rp/Story

*Kane is trying to arm it*
)<
Kane: I'll fix it tomorrow.
((bad service. Going))

*Laura sits down and rubs Kane's ears back with her claw.*
Laura-" Just relax, worry about it later, or not at all. Doesn't help at all to get worked up or angry..."
((Alright then, see you later Fluffers~))

*Nova slowly wakes up and looks around, she gets up and sneezes blowing a ice beam into a wall*


*Aura has placed the book down and is starting to mix a few things as she looks over at one of the pages*

*There's a distant sounding crying coming from the lower parts of the cave. It sounds similar to Chris', yet much different at the same time.*

*Aura's head perks up a little as she hears the cry, she stands up and heads towards where she hears the crying*

*There's something large and furry hiding in the dark corner of the lower rooms, crying heavily. It looks mangled, torn, and dirty, even in the shadows. It only speaks one word over and over again through its wails, that word being 'Alone....'*

The warm soup slid its way down Fubuki's throat. The Umbreon that was so weakened not too long ago has made quite a recovery over the past few days. She has nearly all of her former strength back, and was facing the kind Psycheon, Aline.
She's been like a mother to me these past few days. I should really find a way to thank her, the Umbreon thought, the taste of the tomato soup still dancing upon her tongue. Fubuki was generally not used to this kind of treatment;however, she was much smarter than what she would have initially let on. While she was not quick to accept any sort of help, Fubuki knew when she needed it, and never declined if she did. Already tired and oblivious to the sounds of crying coming from deeper inside the cave, Fubuki gave Aline one last thanks before deciding to hit the hay.

"You're welcome, Fubuki, and good night!" Aline sang, trying to ignore the sounds of weeping. It may or may not have just been her imagination, but every time it repeated, Aline felt as if the sound gradually increased in volume. It was not long at all until the pink cat felt the need to cover her ears because of the sound. Unfortunately for her, she can't seem to turn a blind eye, so she eventually decides to follow the sound, worry shadowing her steps.

*The figure in the corner of the room looks up, showing Chris' badly torn face. He takes one last deep breath before yelling out "Alone" at the top of his lungs. It wakes up just about everyone in the cave at the moment, including Alex. After his one last yell, he's left there, panting heavily. All of the sudden, his ears perk up and he stops breathing all together, looking at the group with pure shock in his eyes.*
Chris-" Can't you feel it...?"
*His face, along with his entire body then begins to twist inwards, skin and meat disappearing into the skull, leaving only bones behind. The bones whip backwards all at once, disappearing into the shadows of the cave.*

After seeing Chris disappear like that, all Aline seems able to do is put her paws on her belly, feeling sick to her stomach. She fights the urge to ralph everyplace, but she can already start tasting her lunch again. Already, the cat has just a single, almost sparkling, hot tear rolling from her eyes. However, that single tear soon becomes quite lonely, and before long, a downpour of them fall from the delicate flower's face. This girl needs a serious hug.

*Sam groans and walks down the stairs of the cave, rubbing her head while looking around at both Aura and Aline. She doesn't seem to happy over being woken up like that, especially considering how much trouble she went to in order to get to sleep int he first place with her lower belly hurting like it does.*
Sam-" One of you mind explaining what you're doing yelling so much?"
*She hasn't come around to see Aline crying quite yet.*

*Aura has already fallen on a floor with a X_x face and most of the color is lost from her face. After a few minutes she comes around and sits up*
that wasn't fun.....
*she rubs her face and shakes her head*

"Sorry if I woke you up, Sam. It's just that Chris paid us a visit and..."Aline's voice is unsteady because of her weeping. However, now feeling bad about possibly waking Sam up, she tries to keep her sobs soft. No matter how hard she tries to keep the images of Chris' disappearance at bay, they keep replaying in her mind like a broken record.

*Sam closes her lips for a moment before wandering over in front of Aline, putting a hand on her side and looking up into her eyes.*
Sam-" Excuse me? It sounded like you said Chris... I thought he was dead..."
*She reaches up and wipes away a tear before looking over at the corner of the room, seeing Kate sitting there. She has an emotionless look on her face as she just stares ahead blankly.*

*Aura heads over to the wall and lays back down*
i just want to forget what I just saw....
*she rubs her head*

"I did," Aline concludes, "It was Chris. I'm certain. But it might have been his ghost or something, then....He says he's alone. I feel alone, too...sometimes. But I can usually find a silver lining to cheer myself up. That's been hard lately. My garden is probably dead by now, and that was one of the few things that seem to really matter to me anymore. I shouldn't be rambling anyway."

Aline shakes her head, the downpour of tears turning into more of a drizzle. Making her way to Kate, she catches the Eevee in her best attempt of a warm embrace.

*Kate doesn't return it at all, just continues to stare forward. She doesn't make one move outside of the ones Aline forces her into. She doesn't even bother blinking, barely breathing as it is. Sam tugs on Aline's side, frowning.*
Sam-" I know you probably don't want to go with me... but I'm heading out now. I'm going to find out what happened to Chris and Kate, what she doesn't seem to remember. I'm finding anything that's left of Chris, and I'm giving him the burial he deserves..."

"Sam, I'm torn. I want to do that, too, but I don't feel like I should leave Kate here, alone. I know there are other very kind people in here, like Jasmine and Fubuki, who would gladly take care of her, but I.... I just..." Struggling to find further words, Aline goes into a period of uneasy silence.
I really, very, truly hope this is just some terrible dream, Aline wishes to herself, still choosing to keep quiet.

*Sam pulls a bit harder on Aline's fur to get her attention.*
Sam-" Then take her with us. You got involved with Chris, meaning you got involved with what little family he had left. Kate is your's now, meaning you have to take care of her for the rest of your able life. If you want to come, do what any sane person would and take a child with you rather than leave her in the arms of strangers."

Aline shakes her head as if she was trying to get rid of some kind of new-age dandruff.

She sighs, "You're right, Sam. I guess this whole thing has gotten me a bit confused. I hope I won't be a fifth wheel or anything." The feline with the rosy fur gets back on her graceful, petite feet, picking up Kate with her teeth. The former tries to put Kate on her mauve back to try to carry the younger sister that way.

*Kate just dangles limply, still staring at the shadows where her 'brother' had recently disappeared into. Sam smiles up at Aline and starts heading for the stairs.*
Sam-" Doubt you'll be anything but help, Aline. Question though, do you have any way of setting off light so we could get to the mid sections of the continent?"
