"What happened to me? Oh, a little bit of that and a little bit of this. I may need some help." Hunter sighed. "Is Scarlet okay? Are you okay? Where did you go? I'm sorry I got separated from you. I didn't look where I was going and... I'm rambling on. Sorry. Can you help me get out?" Hunter said, finding himself talking too much, again.

"I'm on the other side of the wall," Scarlet barks, "I can try to help you if you tell me exactly what you did to get on that side of the wall." Scarlet paces by the wall listening for Hunter to tell her what exactly he did.

"Um... I am not sure. I think i just thought my way in if that is a thing. You know, getting lost on thought enough you just follow your instincts?" Hunter tries to be helpful.
(Im going to be off for most of the day.)

(Okay)

Scarlet sighs, "Alright I think I can do that and get you out." Sniffing around the red fox tries to do what Hunter did and scratches at one of the walls. "Jay see if you can find a mechinizium or something to get the wall to move please."

"You're really a mess aren't you?" Jay chuckled. He gave Hunter one last amused look before flying around the room in a quick circle. It wasn't a big space and clearly something temporary. He figured once he got Hunter down, he could work on dismantling the wall as well. "Alright, I think I see some ropes and gears inside one of the far walls. Whatever sprung up the wall blocking the way also revealed it. I should be small enough to get in there. Hunter, you just....get ready to fall..." he added with a last look over his wing.

Squeezing in between the gears, Jay took hold of some of the ropes in his beak and started pulling. It didn't take much for the threads to start unraveling and a few seconds more, it snapped. A creak sounded and Jay went streaming out and back to the other side of the wall. "I hope you're ready!"

Mrs. Mouse felt worried about her new friends, but she didn't have time to worry about more than her own hiding. A cloud of smoke rushed into the room, rolling around the trees and corners like something living. Mrs. Mouse could feel static against her fur, as if the air itself was charged with negative energy. She couldn't even see anything inside the smoke, but she knew evil resided in it. Or at least, the closest thing to evil that the universe could create.

When the disruption reached them, it paused, almost seemed to look at the vines where they hid. Wind rushed, carrying with it a voice that left even the trees shaking.

"Get away! Get away now!"

"Good work Jay," Scarlet cheers, "that was brilliant thinking. Are you okay?" Looking back at the wall she expected to see Hunter fall through the wall any second.

Loki looked veryconfused.

Nightwas....Sleeping?

"I'm alright," Jay gasped. "Hunter? Did you land alright? Ah, let me get the wall mechanisms down too!" Jay flashed back through, zipping through the gears and such he could see, finally finding a lever that let all the walls drop back down with a resounding thud. Now they could go forwards or just retreat back to path Jay found before. He was curious about this path though. If there were traps, then there should be rewards too!

"Do not be careless," Scarlet barks, "if it is a trap there is no garentee of a prize or aid." Pacing around feeling useless Scarlet worries about them. Wondering if there are still okay Scarlet strains her ears until they begin to bleed.

August needed no second bidding. With an alarmed squawk, he flew for shelter high up.
