The trickster crept forward, moving, <em>carefully</em> through the dark, new room, past more and more <em>blinking</em> boxes, to the small light. The small, square light. The only light. Then suddenly the only light went <em>out</em>. <em>Jingle</em>. Kyless tilted her horned, blue, invisible head. <em>Something changed.</em> Something caused the small, square, lonely light to change. <em>What was that something?</em><br/><br/><em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. A series of rattles emitted from her golden bells as the trickster made a <em>dash</em> towards the faded light. Her movements were quick, graceful, as if she was dancing on her bare blue toes. With each prance, blood, shimmering and inky, landed on the soft, cool floor, <em>marking</em> the invisible trickster’s path. Kyless could hide <em>many</em>things from these silly humans, but not her blood. Or its curious <em>smell</em>. The light was less, but still there, and up high. <em>It was not, however, a way out.</em><br/><br/><em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. The trickster jumped <em>up</em>, softly, onto the top of the large desk with relative ease, avoiding <em>many</em>things nearby. She landed low and stayed low, in a crouch, just in case it was not safe to be <em>there</em>. <em>It was certainly not safe to be here, in this place, with the silly, human SOPHE agents.</em> She could still hear Them, lost but dangerous, down, down, <em>down</em> the many stairs and Outside this peculiar room as they continued to search for her. <em>They were very loud. The human beneath her, beneath the desk she crouched on, was very quiet.</em> More, inky, dark blue, blood shimmered and dripped down the trickster’s waist, down her leg, on to the large desk. She would deal with this silly, quiet human in a moment but <em>first</em> – one of her blue, invisible hands reached for the light, and <em>played</em> with it, moving her invisible fingers to create visible shadows. <em>Fun, but disappointing.</em> She poked at the edge of the square light, one corner, and it opened a little, <em>revealing</em> more light again but ultimately <em>no</em>thing Kyless needed. The trickster pouted and pulled back, frustrated. Her side hurt, and her head felt strange, like it was floating, just slightly. <em>Perhaps she had not pulled Their weapon out of her blue skin fast enough when They had shot her on the many stairs.</em> How unfortunate, indeed.<br/><br/><em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. “Hello, Quiet Human,” her blue horned and belled head <em>suddenly</em> appeared, <em>visible</em> but upside down, hanging over the edge of the large desk to <em>peer</em> at the human seated beneath it, with big, knowing golden eyes, “you were too easy to find, yes?” The trickster smiled, a <em>wicked</em> smile, one that curved upward on just <em>one</em> side of her dark, blue lips. Of course, since the small, square light was <em>not</em> an escape, this new, quiet human was her only choice. <em>It was not a goodchoice.</em> But the <em>other</em> humans, the SOPHE agents, the SOPHE agents who shot Kyless and kept her in a cage, who kept her <em>un</em>-free, <em>never</em> hid. <em>They never hid from Kyless. Not like this quiet human.</em> And that was… <em>interesting</em>, to the trickster. “Do you <em>know</em> the way to the Outside?” <em>Jingle</em>. Her still, upside down head titled slightly to the left as she spoke a very important question to the quiet, found human girl. Kyless hoped this human would <em>stay</em> interesting.</span>
