Arwood crawled to his feet and followed Abie, wincing every time the knife scratched the round, nervous she might cut herself. They came to a halt before the far wall where they found another door but much smaller, it was just large enough for a young child to walk through. He bent down next to Abie and smiled reassuringly. “It seems like you will have to continue alone. If you need any help just call and I believe we could manage to shove Felix through this door to come after you.” He grabbed the handle and opened it to reveal a dark hallway. “Good luck” he patted her head affectionately
(Oops, I didn't reload the page, my bad :)
Abie's fur turned grey: nervous, and she whined, wagging her tail. can shep have a light?
Felix started following the shep.
"Felix, wait. Remember the Spider Face?"
Felix looked back and nodded, checking to make sure he had a full magazine in his gun before continuing. Austin cautiously started to follow as well.

Mel took the phone back from Mashka and put it in her pocket. She looked up when she heard a distant thud.
"Hm." She started heading for the door. "Jarrod, I'm going to take a look at whatever that was."
"Alright, but be careful. You don't have a gun or anything."
"I know."
She crept down the hallway quietly, looking for the source of the noise. She spotted a couple of people in the foyer where they had been teleported to earlier.
Abie wiggled through the passageway, her fluffy tail occasionally hitting Felix in the face. It was cold - everything was cold.
(Where do we want the tunnel to lead?)
(I guess to a small circular room, but whatever you want will work :)
"Hold on, what was that about shoving me after who just now?" Asked Felix as the two caught up.
(Imma head of this rp again)
Abie eventually emerged into something big - well, bigger than the passageway, anyway.
shep found the end of the tunnel, she said. It was dark.
“Take one more step forward and I swear you’ll have another set of pockets!” A voice came from the darkness just ahead of them. It was a woman’s voice, young, and slightly husky. “Who the hell do you think you are to bring me here, you have no right! Send me back!”
hello? Abie asked, bouncing forwards. hello hello?
“What did I literally just say!” She cried in disbelief, “I thought threatened people were supposed to do what they’re told, not do the complete opposite.” She took a step toward the light, her fists raised and eyes flashing in anger and fright, she had no other weapon. She had rounded brown eyes and wet auburn hair. “What do you want from me?”
shep want a snuggle, Abie said hopefully, rolling over and exposing her soft, fluffy belly. give shep belly rub?
Her raised fists fell to her side and she blinked at the animal before her, “No…why…no.” She knelt beside Abie, scratching her stomach and marching over the soft fluffy fur. "If I give you a belly rub, will you send me…."Her eyes suddenly squinted in suspicion, “how did you get in here? The door was shut…who else is with you?” She lunged to her feet and back up against the wall.
Abie, who had giggled happily when she got a belly rub, whined, got up, and trotted after the woman. shep suddenly was here in a place where it was so dark and cold. then shep found friends. arwood sent shep in here, and felix came with fluffy shep.
“Arwood!” She cried, her voice was of full shock and relief she started forward then quickly mustered herself. “I’ve never heard of Felix.” She pointed behind Abie, “are they in the arena?” Before she got an answer she started pushing Abie toward the small hallway. “I want to get out of here, I hate the cold.”
arwood is this way. Abie nosed Felix. Her nose was cold. felix, get out of the way of the fluffy shep.
She eyed Felix in suspicion, before ducking into the tunnel and crawling toward the door. “What’s your name anyway?” She asked Abie, “Where are you from? I’ve never met an animal that has that color of fur, the only saving grace is that it’s soft.” She tried sounding tough and not frightened but was highly aware of the man behind her.
Mint and Calix started to look around. “Where are we?”

Felix shook his head and moved out of the way. "Sorry. Um. Is this room all there is back here?"
Austin ducked and peaked down the tunnel. "Any demons Felix? Am I going to have to drag you corpse out of there?"
Mint and Calix started to look around. “Where are we?”
Mel ducked behind a couch and just watched the two. She was unarmed, and that wasn't comforting in any way shape or form.
“I don’t know…looks kinda like a house though…” Calix pondered. “Well, no crap. Who’s house is it?!” Mint rolled their eyes. “Again, I have no idea. Let’s keep looking.” Mint nodded and they both went back to looking throughout the living room.
heheh Cuphead OCs-//
Abie led them back through the tunnel. shep is a fluffy shep, a fluffy and sweet and happiness shep who love to have sugar and a dance and a pet.
Felix shook his head and moved out of the way. "Sorry. Um. Is this room all there is back here?"
Austin ducked and peaked down the tunnel. "Any demons Felix? Am I going to have to drag you corpse out of there?"
The girl shook her head, “There was one door that led back to the armory but other than that, no.” She spat a ball of fluff from her mouth as Abie's tale slapped her in the face. “There were tons of animal stuff in that room,” she nodded her head behind her, “like pelts and more weapons. I’m betting that’s where they kept the animals before sending them out into the arena.” She gave a short laugh, “Wouldn’t it be something to fight in an arena, there would be….What was that?” She hissed, hearing a noise coming ahead but unable to make out what it was.

"What was what?" Felix ducked down and crawled into the tunnel behind her, his hand on his gun. "Austin and that tall guy are back there, they should be able to deal with anything at least 'til I get back."
"I guess we'll see," Austin said, shrugging Arwoods direction.
~~
Mel watched the two for a bit longer before dashing back down the hallway. "Jarrod, some new people showed up. Go deal with them and I'll watch Em."
"Guyss, I'm not that little." Em pouted.
"Maybe not, but this place could be dangerous, remember? It's best to have someone with you," Jarrod replied, "I'll go Mel. If the others get back and I haven't, come and find me. It'll probably be fine but, you know.
"What was what?" Felix ducked down and crawled into the tunnel behind her, his hand on his gun. "Austin and that tall guy are back there, they should be able to deal with anything at least 'til I get back."
“Never mind.” She grumbled, praying the tunnel would come to an end and the man behind her would leave. Her hands itched in anticipation and the hairs on the back of her neck stood straight on end. “Are we almost there?” She asked Abie, her nose crinkling as she fought against a sneeze, Abie’s tail had swiped her face a second time.
shep think so. Abie trotted ahead and stuck her head out of the tunnel. hello! shep is back! shep found a new friend!
Thea scrambled quickly out of the tunnel dusting herself off. her gaze landed on a strange man before her, she had never seen him before, that must be Austin. she thought staring at him in interest.
“How on earth did you ever fit in that tunnel,” Arwood asked playfully, a thin smile lighting up his face as he teased her. Snorting Thea patted Abies’ head once before walking beside Arwood and staring in suspicion at the two other men.
“Why are they here?” She asked, purposely ignoring them and acting like they weren’t in the room.
“Their names are Austin and Felix, and they are friends,” Arwood spoke softly. They stared at each other as if arguing silently, finally, Thea shrugged and picked up Abie.
“Fine, but I get Abie and you have to take care of them.”
shep will always do a happy help, Abie said, her fur turning pink for snuggly.

"Look lady, just because I look like a scrawny teenager doesn't mean I am. I'll take care of myself, and you will treat me with the respect I deserve." Felix huffed and fixed his cuffs.
"He gets grumpy whenever he has to crawl about because it gets his clothes dirty, so don't mind him." Austin was starting to feel tired out by all of this social interaction and his voice was getting less friendly by the minute. "We can take care of ourselves. Let's get out of here."
And with that, Austin started heading for the secret passage to hopefully find a bed somewhere and sleep.
