Penelope looked from the winged beings back to Jason again, scrutinizing over their facial features as the decision to agree or decline weighed heavily in the air. She felt her heart skipping along in her chest as she considered the possibility that, should things go south, they might make themselves targets to not just the guards here, but every guard in the Capitol.<br/><br/>Jason finally spoke up, stating that he felt it was worth the risk to find out if they could communicate with the real world again. Penelope’s eyes pricked momentarily as she considered the possibility that they could somehow make contact with the outside world, maybe even let others know what had happened to them.<br/><br/>She was filled with hope, at least for the moment.<br/><br/>The female NPC clad all in black stepped forward, her white wings extending slightly. “We need you to lure them away by creating a distraction. Any stragglers who remain inside, we can handle. But splitting them up would greatly help.” The male beside her nodded in agreement, before adding a little something of his own. “You’d only need to distract them. No need for a K.O. unless you see no other way out. But, as this is a no kill zone, this task won’t lead to bloodshed.”<br/><br/>Penelope gulped nervously at the explanation. She then turned to Jason, her puzzled expression shining through. “What do you think we can do to distract them enough to lure them away…?” She asked.
