Beau watched the cube sail in the air. An assembly of colours which were as vibrant as that of a poisonous spider. Or at least<br/>some brightly coloured creature of nature which was trying to signify how deep its poison lay.<br/><br/>"Don't touch the cube," she said, the tone of warning evident in her voice, "if we acquiesce we make a verbal contract by virtue of doing so, and he hasn't told us everything. For instance..."<br/><br/>Beau's hearing pixelated to a muffled tone as Sen cast her warning upon the dubious Julien's offer. His vision blurring in and out of focus on the cube which by now was starting to let gravity take its toll. Kaleidoscope of colours defying the dark setting around them.<br/><br/>"Listen," Julien cut through, trying to override what Sen was saying "even the most obvious decision isn't always the right one!"<br/><br/>Beau did reach out, the cube sailing towards him. Despite what it may have seen, the squirrel had it in fact caught sight of an abandoned umbrella upon the train. Using his non dominant hand to assimilate the instrument within his position, he gripped the baton with both hands and swung it against the cube. Sending the eclectically coloured object flying back towards their purple witness.<br/><br/>Snap<br/><br/>Julien drew the cube back to his hand with an almost telekinetic force and drew his arm back once it was latched into his grip.<br/>As if to wind back and throw. But he relinquished the latter move.<br/>The whole train shook a bump as that action occurred with that butterfly effect. Knocking Beau back down to the floor on all fours.<br/><br/>"I see how it is," Julien looked down on them disappointed, but held a shadow of a smirk "challenging your fate wherever you can. It's far too early in the game to be doing those sorts of things."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">What the... a game?</span>Beau considered. Looking up at Julien from afar.<br/><br/>"You had 3 choice. The 1st, which brought you here in the first place, was to find out what was through that door." Julien arched his head almost over his shoulder to indicate "the 2nd was to help me solve this puzzle." he said unveiling the rubix cube.<br/>"... and of course to do nothing will always be an option on any course you take."<br/><br/>The purple being's voice faded as Beau felt a sharp pain in his neck. A hot serum being injected into a major vein which caused his vision to fade from red to black. Surrendering to a heavy slump on the floor.<br/><br/>His last fleeting memory a fox-masked being with cerulean coloured fur. What could be seen through the holes of the mask<br/>were glacial coloured looking eyes.<br/><br/>He turned to look at Sen and took 2 steps forwards. Pointing a finger at her.<br/><br/>"This scene has been played out long enough," he said, coming towards her with a vaccine or similar to sort to what he had used on Beau. His clavicle bearing a fresh blood wound "they've made their choice."<br/><br/>"No," Julien shot the newcomer down with an index finger, before pointing daintly at the panda "she hasn't made her choice. Let her decide what to do." he sniggered.
