@TaciturnTiger:  "I..." He paused and swallowed.  "I'll... I can't... don't..." He curls up and tries to think.  "Well, I would think a cat and a wolf bursting through a locked door would scare any mouse!  Can we talk about this?  And quick?" He pleads, you feel a rustling as he's trying to avoid puddling juices.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, following a short burst and a squelch, Carlos emerges from the room.  "Clear.  All right, then, darling, wanna go gun crazy?" He suggests with renewed vigor and bravado as he produces two rifle-shaped devices, normal stocks and triggers but with solid polished oak barrels, short and sighted, with gold-plated cylinders locked into the end.  "Just like a gun, but without the concern of hitting the wrong target, or missing whatsoever." He explains, lining up.  "These primium coated quintessence batteries gets about thirty or so before you gotta replace 'em.  There's an elevator close, too." He points to the end of the hall, to an empty open shaft emitting a faint gray glow from the ground.  "We could head straight for the top floor."<br/><br/><br/>@Ome:  It works like a charm.  He really has nothing on you in his position - he arcs his back trying to get out, wriggling uselessly, twisting, finally he takes a risk and grabs the back of your head with one flexible arm, and drops himself - with his and Lilianna's weight, in a stunner.  He doesn't have much left in him, but did he ever get the drop at that moment.<br/><br/><br/>@Chiro:  Caleena shakes her head as she seems to glide up the stairs and check, room by room, every room connected right to the hallway.  "They all look good." She calls down.  "Professor!  Check this out, there's a lit fireplace!" She adds.  "It's actually... pretty comfy up here... someone really set this place up to treat you nice." She wanders beyond the doorway.<br/><br/>"Well, Onyx, it's not as though my plan included much more than a camping trip and keeping the best journals we can.  At least we can take pictures of a sort in here, not that it's as interesting as the rest of the town in my opinion.  I think maybe a rest will remedy all of our unease... Caleena, is there a bathroom up there?" The professor calls.  "Caleena?"  He starts up the stairs after a moment of no response, and pokes his head in the doorway.  "Caleena?"<br/><br/><br/>@KavenBach:  "You don't believe me!" Tim huffs and glares away, still distraught moments later after you'd checked in and showers were taken all around.  "You know what, I'm never gonna do it again, and you'll see, you'll realize we're like brother and sister!" He whimpers and turns on the wall, which flickers with mirror images before setting before you the lifelike crystal-ball image of some wrestling match going on somewhere tonight.  A full-bellied gecko anthro just pulled a reverse-neckbreaker on some poor batgirl that had him in quite the predicament.  Now they're on the ground and he's still trying to get the circulation back to his brain, her arms around his neck making that a bit of a difficulty at the moment.<br/><br/>Sam:  "Search me, I've heard weirder.  Like I said, just behave yourselves.  Feeling better?" He asks, turning to you now and tossing a set of very cheap Velle knockoff robes with silver trim, probably from the comforts shop at the motel lobby.
