Going the other way, Shoutarou paused a few doors down when he heard something he hadn't heard in a long time. Fang.

He shook his head, leaning against the wall and rubbing his face and eyes. Frog Pod was in his trunk, and the memory for it was in his pocket. It wasn't trolling him by mistake. "Must be going crazy..." he mumbled, shaking his head.

[gaiapediatan]

Maybe Fang had a sense of trolling itself, considering it whirled its little dino head down the opposite end of the hallway. It gave a roar, which only seemed to irritate Phillip's mood even further.

"Fang!" First he couldn't get rid of the thing- now it was running off on it's own? Whoever programmed the damn thing...

Of course he had to follow the damn memory. It wasn't like he expected it to be a bloodhound, but leaving it unattended would probably be worse than ignoring it.

[thisclinchesit]

There's the roar again, hah.

Heh. Ha ha. Hahahahaha.

Shoutarou leaned against the wall, back to the direction Philip and Fang would approach from, and chuckled nervously to himself. "...guess I am." The stress of being in this place in general, plus dealing with the fallout of his spat with Francisca must be making him crack.

[gaiapediatan]

If you think you've lost it, how do you think your aibou feels, spotting you down the hallway? Despite Fang roaring a third time, Phillip didn't even seem to notice, too busy gawking.

Glance at Shou. At Fang. At Shou. At Fang. At Shou, leaning against a wall looking pensive and in thought.

...yeah, that had to be the real deal.

"Shoutaro!" YOUR AIBOU IS RUNNING AT YOU, HIDARI. WHAT DO?

the title needs more dinooo

Ankh's hand (or perhaps it would be more apt to Shingo's hand) freaking hurt. Thanks to Cain, his right hand had a nice array of bruises on it, though it wasn't enough for him to both with bandages or anything. Instead he just let it hang by his side, forced to hold the ice cream with his left hand as he walked past Philip down the hallway, towards the Eel candroid that was flopping at the end of the hallway.

He kneeled down and picked up the candroid by the tail while the ice cream rested in the corner of his mouth, scrutinizing it closely as it made some robotic noises

your mom needs more dinooo

[gaiapediatan]

Phillip had a mission, and he needed to be quick and- was that a robot?

He skidded to a stop in the hallway, watching with slight awe as the eel squirmed about mechanically in the other's grip. To say it was reminiscent of Double's gadgets would sort of be an understatement.

However, it was Fang who spoke up first, eliciting a loud roar and hopping on his human's shoulder.

your face needs more dinooo

[handpuppeeet]

Ankh stalled a bit when he heart the electronic roar from Fang-- he had no idea what that was, but a roar like that never meant anything good. He turned this head to glance over his shoulder for just a minute; he then whipped around and threw the Eel Candroid streamlined straight towards the hopping dinosaur on the stranger's shoulder, which began emitting electricity mid-way through flight.

He was watching it carefully, and this would be a more serious image if he didn't still have the ice cream poking out of his mouth. Still, he didn't look none too pleased.

your soul needs more dinooo

[gaiapediatan]

Phillip realized the eel was flying at him a second too late, but it didn't seem to matter- Fang intercepted the candroid almost automatically, landing at Phillip's feet. When Phillip lowered his arms and spotted the helpless little robot, he wasted no time in picking it up and looking it over quickly.

"What is this?"

...lets ignore he was just throwing the candroid at him with probable-malicious intent.

Romeo smiled politely at the man as he walked past but his eyes widened at the creature. "What is that?" He blushed a bit at his own rudeness and glanced at the man.

"I'm sorry sir, I just never saw a creature like that before."

[gaiapediatan]

"Huh?"

Phillip almost kept going, but the apology sunk in deeper than the first statement. People were around- but not ones aware of pseudo-sentient memories. A low-level test facility?

"This is..." But, he stalled out on answering. "Where are we?"

[spiritsup]

"Sorry sir did you just wake up?" Romeo smiled at him, "You are in a tower, it's a bit scary and you have a note in your room saying your world ended but that's not true!" He added quickly in case the man got sad.

"We've been brought here by bad kidnappers and we haven't worked out how to escape yet."

[gaiapediatan]

Tower, world ended? That couldn't have to do with the Organization...could it?

Phillip's face quickly turned neutral at 'kidnappers'. Well, it explained the collar devices. He didn't need the Gaia Library to work out that something was wrong here.

"I was in the middle of a rescue. I can't stay here."

...and just as quickly as he said that, Phillip was off down the hallway. He'd find an exit, surely

[quarkylass]

What was that really sad sound?

Jade had been sitting in her room, trying to repair her electric bass -- it was snapped in half, and she had been examining it, getting ready to take it to the workshop floor to help it get put back together. But now, she head the crying of some sort of animal, and peeked her head out into the hall.

"Um...hello?"

[gaiapediatan]

Fang turned its head towards the girl and gave another short cry, hopping and making a whirr noise. Phillip stopped and turned, intending to figure out what the damned memory was doing now, but looked surprised at the sight of Jade.

Instead of being polite- he, didn't have time for manners, lives were at stake! -he scooped Fang up. "Do you know where this is?"

[quarkylass]

She shook her head slowly.

"Sorry...all I know is that this is the Tower, and you can't leave. I'm not really much help..."

[gaiapediatan]

"In order for people to come in, there must be an entrance." That fact was solidified in his mind, but...this kid didn't look like someone he should be snapping at.

"How many people were brought here?" His tone grew less harsh, at least.

[straightupzorra]

Santana was walking around the tower when, wait, was that a dinosaur? She looked up at the human following, "Some pet you've got, it a robot or something?"

[gaiapediatan]

Phillip nearly startled out of his walk, turning back to look over his shoulder, then down at Fang.

"It's not a pet, it's a gaia memory."

...specific there, Phillip.

[straightupzorra]

She stares at him for a few moments before running her fingers through her hair and walks in a small circle, "Wonderful, more crazy people," she says more to herself.

"Okay, I'll bite, what's a gaia memory?"

[gaiapediatan]

Intending to show instead of explain, Phillip picked Fang up, snapped the poor thing's neck downward, and...

"This is a gaia memory."

...blunt and a bit harsh, but he really wasn't in the state to consider social tact.
