The Hidden Door-A Role Play (AKA The Most Dangerous Coffee Shop II)

[Cluckcluck1215]

While Blair was far ahead, Aella was content falling behind the the rest of the group. She walked along the outskirts, through the grass that twined around her legs, rustling up small creatures and sending them fleeing.
The sun was blazing, a brilliant star bathing the land with a blinding pale yellow glow, dancing across her skin and warming her. Not that she was cold, she didn't get cold unless she was weakened, the fire running through her veins enough to keep her safe against the harshness of winter.
But she was bored. She didn't want to walk alongside the anxious, chattering group that did their best to ignore her. Pretend the crazy girl wasn't there. She knew over the course of two days she had not changed their opinions about her. In exception of the Borealan people and Ciro, who's company she enjoyed.
Of course, she felt sympathy for Kylan and Blair, who were clearly distressed over the disappearance of their family. She never lacked sympathy, though she wasn't really sure how to express it, or what they were feeling. I mean, I would be in trouble if I lost Grayson, but I don't think I'd miss him...no...
But they still treated her oddly, especially Blair. Not like I like werewolves anyway.
So she had to be content herself, trying to figure out how they were even going to do wat they were planning to, and if it was even worth it.

is stomach while Noah crumbled.
He burst into tears. “I just wanna go hoooooome...” he moaned.

The effort Kipp put in to keeping himself from crying wasn't enough to hold back his tears. Though at least he wasn't sobbing loudly like Noah was.

"We all do." He said, pulling Noah into a hug. "You have to be quiet. Or they'll notice we're not working." He whispered.

"You... knocked a guard out." He echoed, the words not fully sinking in. "Seina. I- I don't care about me. Seina has to get out of here. She should be on her way back now." He said shaking his head slowly and gesturing toward an open tunnel at the back of the room. "She works in the kitchen near the surface, making food for Olim. She should be back soon." Grafe's eyes had become distant, and his voice hollow as he spoke of her. Worry eating at him. "You can't leave with out her. I won't help you unless you take her with you." He said his voice changing from a gentle request, to a firm demand.

“I wasn’t planning on leaving anyone behind. Let’s find Seina and the others.”

“I wasn’t planning on leaving anyone behind. Let’s find Seina and the others.”

"Oh." Grafe blinked a few times surprised he wasn't going to have to fight her on it. "Uhhh, there isn't exactly any way to transport this, unless you want to take a whole pot. There's still some bread, though Seina will be bringing back the slightly fresher stuff. Going looking for her is a bad idea, the tunnel she goes through is heavily guarded only specific people are allowed through. She'll be here really soon so don't worry too much about it. Jerran, uhh, he's technically one of the guards. He'll likely be able to follow us on his own." As he spoke Seina entered the room she looked tired, but somehow despite the circles under her eyes she still looked decently healthy. She carried a basket in one hand with a decent amount of stale bread, and a metal bucket filled with table scraps from the night before.

“Oh, right,” Noah said, forcing down his sobs and shoving his fists in his eyes to wipe away the tears.

Kipp's tentative smile faded, his attempt to repair their fraying friendship being rejected again. He didn't understand why Fred wanted the candelous powder so badly. If it was a choice between using the last of it and getting caught, he would use it. Kipp's gaze slid over to Emma who was uncomplaining as she continued to work, despite the welts across her tiny back. If I don't save it, we won't be friends anymore. Are we friends now? I thought it was better... I don't understand. Why- because you got him beaten again. You didn't apologize. You're being stupid! You're gonna get them killed. How could you possibly think you could get them out safely?
"You're right. Forget it. It's a bad idea." He muttered backing away, "Ashira can save Take without us. We should stay put and wait for help."

“No. We already have a plan. We are going to rescue Take and we are getting out of here. Also use the powder if it’s absolutely necessary”Fred said giving his friend a pained smile as another shot of pain went down his back

Kevin frowned. “What about if you can actually see it? Would that work?” He asked, spinning in a circle and doing a headcount. There’s more than 10 people. “Maybe it wouldn’t work... nevermind.” he murmured, shooting Aria a small glance and continuing down the path.

“Wait, I could come back and teleport more” Aria said slowly “but this could work” a smile spread across her face

“Oh, right,” Noah said, forcing down his sobs and shoving his fists in his eyes to wipe away the tears.

Kipp wiped a hand across his own face, frowning at the tears as he flicked them away like they were some kind of alien that had attached itself to his face. Exhaustion was getting the better of him, he shouldn't have sat down. The pain in his head had only gotten worse since earlier, there was a weight that came with it that seemed to push his eyes closed. He leaned back against the lumpy wall closing his eyes. The burning pain that he'd gotten used to pried itself back into awareness, protesting the sharp bits that were pushing against the fresh wounds. What are our options anyway? Try to escape and probably fail, or work until we drop? Neither of those seem pleasant.

“No. We already have a plan. We are going to rescue Take and we are getting out of here. Also use the powder if it’s absolutely necessary”Fred said giving his friend a pained smile as another shot of pain went down his back

Kipp peeked one eye open to look up at Fred. "It's not like anything you said would keep me from using it if I had to. Besides I don't even have it, Ashira does." Kipp sighed, slowly staggering to his feet, and then back against the wall as a wave of dizziness blurred his vision. He forced himself upright ignoring his shaking limbs, determined to keep going. He couldn't sleep yet. "Kids, Torin, Alex, Emma, Noah, and Chion. We're going now. Bring something to defend yourself with, if you think it'll help. We'll try not to go too fast, but we can't go slow either. And we can't hold your hand. If you get lost or separated, we're going to the fourth tunnel on the left. Left is the one that makes the capitol L." He added lifting his sword wielding arm. "After that every turn is the first tunnel to the right. Try not to get lost." He couldn't bring himself to finish that sentence with what he had been thinking. That if any of them fell behind or got caught they wouldn't be able to go back for them. "Let's go."

Fred looked at Kipp, “hey, want me to bring up the rear so we can limit the likelihood of anyone getting separated?” Fred offered

"I thought you needed help walking." Kipp glanced at the cart near by, using it might not be the worst idea. He wasn't sure how many people he could lift in it though. The cart was probably a bad idea unless they came across one of those animals for pulling it. getting out of here would be so much easier if we had stuck with the plan. We were supposed to blend in with the crowd. "Any suggestions on how to get out of here unnoticed?"
