[Its the 16th deck that finally sends Anna over the edge - she’s there running from things, her life, her issues - it’s a deck that takes her concentration, that makes her think and count seconds in order to move in time and avoid falling. It prevents her from thinking too much.

That is, until she starts curiously opening the doors. The first few

[Daxter is just minding his own business as he crawls along the air vents. It's not a particularly enjoyable pastime, but it helps him learn his way around and sometimes he can even spy on people.

A scream rings out through the ducts and Daxter jumps hard enough to his his head on the metal. He curses, rubbing his scalp but hurries in the direction of the scream. Sure, he probably can't do anything -might be too afraid to do something- but he should at least go see.

Unfortunately, the vent he steps on isn't quite as secure as he'd have liked and he tumbles out of the air duct and onto the deck below.]

[The tiger was definitely not expecting such a tasty looking morsel to drop almost literally in her lap. She had no idea what he actually is but to a hungry tiger?

He looks like food.

So she charges, mouth open and twisted into an angry snarl as she leaps at what she considers to be dinner.]

Waaugh!

[Holy mother of-!

Daxter scrambles back, but is still weak and disoriented and ends up falling back and hitting his head on the ground. He has to get away, he has to get away-

He's not going to make it.]

[Well, that worked out even better than Anna could have planned. Not only did dinner fall right into her lap, but it's stupid enough to not get to its feet and run, instead it falls over and hits its head.

She skids to a stop and with a MIGHTY ROAR, leans over to snap at his face.]

[Daxter shrieks and throws up an arm to cover himself; Anna is fast and before the Dark Eco even has a change to start polluting him her teeth are closed over his arm and shoulder, and he needs to get away.

He starts scratching at her face with blunt claws, kicking and thrashing and doing whatever he can to get away from her.]

[Her teeth sink down - if she's got a hold of him she'll definitely be trying to get a better one so he can't slip away from her.

Of course, she's immediately distracted by the claw to her eyes and the tiger shrieks in pain, releasing the little creature and flinging it away from her as hard as she possibly can while pawing at her face.]

[Adrenaline helps to dull the pain and Daxter scrambles in mid-skid down the hallway, hand going to his shoulder.

He glances around frantically- there, a floor vent. He drags himself over as quickly as possible, yanks the vent cover away and throws himself inside.]

[The tiger howls one more time, and though she notices him getting away, she can't focus long enough to chase after one.

Another one lost. Now she's even angrier.]
