The woman in the cage jumped slightly as Akane appeared seemingly out of thin air, yelping in surprise as she answered the question posed. It took her a few moments to regain her composure, but soon enough she was as relaxed as before, albeit visibly confused for some odd reason. "Rescue us? Oh uh, no thanks. I appreciate the thought, but I'm fine with staying here. Ken, Sumire, either of you want to leave?" She looked over her shoulder at the other two captives, only for them to respond in the negative as they went back to... whatever it is they were doing. Reading a magazine apparently, though it looked a bit damp and damaged.

Opening the cages was incredibly easy for the MFF troopers, as they would find there were actually makeshift doors built into each one, all unlocked and opened with hardly any struggle. No, the real struggle was in getting the people to come out, as most of them were in similar states as the woman they first encountered. A select few certainly looked happy to leave, fresher acquisitions from the look of things, but for the most part there was a general effort to resist rescue, as if they were happy with their lives as playthings for the GMG. 

Akane looked to be in a rush as she asked the captive further questions, a stark contrast to the "prisoner" who looked quite relaxed and was definitely taking her time in thinking about it. "Ummm, it's kind of hard to keep track of days here. So liiiiike... I guess we were the first people goo girl adopted? It was a while ago, I definitely know I had never heard of her before. Anyways, it was pretty scary at first, we were all rushing into the shelters and stuff when she scooped me up, it was kind of hard to breathe and I think I might have passed out. I dunno, it was all kind of a blur. I woke up in this cave with Ken and Sumire, we were all really scared and stuff because goo girl was totally gone. We left the cave and tried to figure out where we were, but we got really lost in the forest, almost got eaten by like, a tiger or something."

"It was a panther Yukari!" Ken called out as he turned the page, smiling at whatever he was reading. Akari tapped on the wall of the habitat to get someone's attention, an older woman in her 40s, only for said woman to completely ignore her as she looked deeper into [b]The Cavern.[/b]

"Right, panther. Anyways, goo girl totally smushed the panther, but not like killing it, she just kind of smushed it around until it ran away. Then she took us back to the cave, dumped a bunch of like, trees and stuff on the ground. It took a while to figure out what she wanted, but she was kinda trying to figure out what we eat I guess? It was a long process. So we got to know her after a while, turns out she's really nice, just kind of dumb and stuff. But like... yeah. We're all cool here." Yukari smiled as she fiddled with her hair, looking deeper into [b]The Cavern[/b] as if she was looking for something. "Anyways, you guys should probably leave soon. Or don't, it's pretty chill here. She likes collecting us, it's like going to a cat cafe or something for her. Every now and then she has everyone like, start climbing on her and stuff, she kind of burbles around which is like her laughing. It's super cute."

Almost at the same time as the chaos on the beach began, a similar tension began to build within [b]The Cavern[/b] as a bubbling sound began to echo down the corridor. Utena was the first to notice as she whipped out her sword, the edge creating mist as it's cooled surface clashed with the warm humid air within [b]The Cavern[/b]. The bubbling got louder and louder, closer and closer to the group as every single prisoner in the cages looked into the depths, until finally... it stopped.

This would be the only warning for the MFF as several dozen tendrils of slime shot through the darkness, slapping down on those MFF members who were foolish enough to go to deep and swallowing them into their slimy embrace. They screamed as they were assimilated into the deep blue fluid, until their heads were covered and they were silenced, only then would the tendrils pull back just as quickly, dragging the poor jobbers into the darkness and the unknown. 

"They'll be fine." Yukari spoke up as Utena stared on, covering her mouth to conceal her features. Most would assume she might be shocked, possibly horrified, likely infuriated, but in reality she was just trying to cover her blush. "Goo girl kinda just wants to like... break in her new pets I guess. Everyone goes through it, but she's gotta take an extra long time with you MFF guys. They'll come around though."
