[quote=@drewccapp][color=pink]"Alright, guys I'm almost there. Is it really as bad as was said?"[/color][/quote]
[color=B6C6AB]"Worse, yep!"[/color] Fluke chirped with a savage grin that they could all somehow hear. [color=B6C6AB]"Way worse. why's it taking so long for you to get to the alley? Cedar's been there for hours now. You got a wooden leg? Maybe you're gonna let us do all the dirty work and take the credit."[/color]

He said this while he sat safely upon Archer's weapon chest, navigating the drone as if it were a video game.

[color=B6C6AB]What happened to getting at the place from both sides? Is the plan changed? Sounds like the plan changed. Was there a plan? Someone tell me the plan! Unless I'm making the plan, in which case let's set it all on fire, yeah?"[/color]

[quote=@LuckyBlackCat][color=ff4f61]"If you need us,"[/color] she reassured him in her usual chirp, [color=ff4f61]"we're not far behind, just let us know!"[/color][/quote]
[color=B6C6AB]"Hey, how about a little reconnaissance, ah?"[/color] Fluke hollered, swinging his feet in the air. [color=B6C6AB]"Looks like Ruskali's kinda fed up with yelling at everybody right now, he might head home and he [i]can't[/i] do that until we're done. Or else maybe he knows something he hasn't shouted to everyone in a ten-mile radius. Or help Listener with her wooden leg! Where'd Iris go?! She got [i]eaten[/i] I bet. All ten feet of her. Whoever's backing up Cedar better get your guns out. Who's going around the other way?!"[/color]

[quote=@Grey Omen][color=BurlyWood]"Fluke - if the path ahead looks safe enough, can the drone pass over and check behind me? I can find my way through the alley, but I don't want to end up caught here. I think I saw something and I think we should play it safe, y'know?"[/color][/quote]
[color=B6C6AB]"You're all alone, Cedar,"[/color] said Fluke. [color=B6C6AB]"Except for that Nox behind ya. It's a juicy one-- oh, nope, there it went. That's not your shadow, Ced."[/color]

A flickering darkness scraped the wall beside Cedar, shaped vaguely like his shoulders and limbs but just [i]wrong[/i] enough to catch the eye.

The shadow opened bright white eyes. Jagged teeth sharpened on the brick wall.

Meanwhile, the armadillo had found something buried beneath the soil in the alley: a shine of a silver bracelet, still attached to a wrist, buried just below the dirt.

The Nox, with a skittering hiss, lunged at the armadillo.

[hider=game notes]Whoever wants to take a whack at the Nox, we don't need to RP through a play-by-play. This thing is like a darting, flitting wisp of black smoke, but it won't attack you directly because of your masks. It will, however, attempt to possess the armadillo. If it does, then you have a mean bug-rodent on your hands.[/hider]
