Cou's breathing was rapid; it felt like his heart was going to explode in his chest at any moment. His back braced against a fallen, rotting log generated by the holodeck, he desperately tried to orient himself. Whatever was running here, the door leading to the stairs or something to get him off the deck still had to be around somewhere.

All he'd wanted when he came here earlier was to enjoy a little kart racing, one of the neat little things that some of his new acquaintances on the boat had pointed out. In fact, until things started going South today, he really was starting to think that this might just be a simple break that he should take advantage of. Instead what he had now was the floor seemed like it had been entirely transformed into a foggy marsh in the middle of the night and it saw fit naught to leave him with any illumination but some kind of mock moon above.

And then if that weren't bad enough, there were those things chasing him. Beasts the like of which he'd never seen before and now genuinely hoped he would never see again if he made it out of this alive. He just needed to escape and he'd be fine. At least that's what he kept telling himself.

There was the snap of a twig nearby and a low, guttural growl. Flight took precedence over fight and immediately he darted like a spooked rabbit. Leaping over varied obstacles, plant life and who knew what else, the sky pirate raced for his life in hopes of escaping his pursuers. And while he was loathe to do it, he'd easily admit that this was one fix that he just could not overcome on his own.

"MICKEY?! KAIRI!? SOMEONE! HELP!!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he continued his hastened trek through the nightmarish bog.
