[so, that was a long and rather tiring trip, which is doubly no fun when your joints are still acting up. The sun's more than halfway under the horizon by now, and it's getting tougher to see in the darkness. Due to hearing voices all day, Cheetor's a little more jumpy and irritable, but he perks up when he sees the big, odd shapes looming up in

[It's...kind of spooky, actually. Just a little. But better a little spooky than a little flat and open, so she just nods as she hops out of 'Bee.]

Definitely better than the scrawny trees.

[swinging_cat]

[see, if you watched more horror movies, you'd know that that so isn't true]

Come on, I bet there's a place we can recharge under one of these logs.

[walks around the 'log' he just jumped off of, moving further into the fog]

[know_sacrifice]

[Hey now. Who was the one who didn't want us to split up~?]

Hopefully it'll be dry. And bug-free.

[Follows him.]

[swinging_cat]

[ears perked forward, using his hearing to back up his lack of sight]

I don't think there's anywhere here without bugs.

[has been resisting the urge to scratch himself this whole time, mind]

Hey, Bee! Keep up!

[know_sacrifice]

Well. Creepy bugs. I'm trying not to think about the, like, ants or whatever.

[speedystinger]

Bugs, huh? What're so creepy about them?

[his tone sounds slightly mocking as he catches up to them. once he's by their side and recalls Blackarachnia, however, he pauses to shudder.]

...actually, forget I said anything! Any world could so do without the spiders.

[swinging_cat]

[shudders as well, remembering Tarantulas and that one time with the energy web and the nearly getting eaten]

Ain't that the truth.

[peers through the mist and hesitates just a moment before skidding down a dirt bank, pausing at the bottom to call back up to them]

This way! I think I see one big enough for all of us.

[speedystinger]

I'm guessing that you didn't have any good experiences with them either, then? Or at least something like them.

[follows Cheetor's line of sight to spot what he was looking at, and he let out a sigh of relief before starting to head in that direction.]

Finally. I feel like we've been walking for weeks.

[know_sacrifice]

We haven't even been here a day. [She slides on down the bank as well, skipping over a rock and jogging the last few yards to compensate.] ...Wherever here is.

[swinging_cat]

I'm with Bee on this one. You weren't the one walking.

[says it good-naturedly. Trots over to a particularly large 'cave' and starts to nose around the entrance, when suddenly wild laughter starts up from somewhere around them. He immediately leaps back over to the others and assumes a defensive position, ears flat against his skull]

What in the spotted heck was that?

[speedystinger]

Yeah, well. One day drags on forever and it feels like a week.

[Bumblebee glances at Cheetor, back to Mikaela, and then back to the cave in front of them.]

I'd say that's sure not the sound of a happy, carefree and welcoming kind of laughter. But hey, what do I know?

[And meanwhile, he's moved into a defensive position as well by Mikaela's side.]

[know_sacrifice]

[Spins in a circle, trying to pinpoint the laughter's source, and slides closer to Bumblebee when she can't see where it's coming from.]

...N-no, I think that's kind of, uh, kind of sinister.

[swinging_cat]

[takes another step backwards as it gets closer]

Rrr, who's there?! Show yourself!!

[about to Maximize, when out of the cave comes--y hlo thar, Banzai, Shenzi, Ed. Didn't, uh, realize this was your pad. Please stop surrounding us.]

Shenzai: Well, well, well, what have we here?

Banzai: Looks to me like some chumpy cheetah and his freaky friends took a wrong turn into our territory. Ed?

Ed: [nodding] Ehehehehehehe!

[Cheetor bristles. And then notices something, temporarily overriding his alarm.]

Is it just me, or did those hyenas just talk?

((FEEL FREE TO TAKE OVER THE HYENAS AT WILL, GUYS.))
