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

[Rose Quartz]

Chion, being the only one of the younger kids who understood Seina leaned over he edge looking for any easier path. Not seeing one, she stepped over the edge carefully, bending all four of her knees as she slid down the gravelly slope. Dust plumes stirred up behind her, and loosened stones hissed as they skittered down the hill. As the ground flattened out she hopped to keep her footing, Awkwardly coming to a stop before the next drop off. Thankfully neither of her two passengers had fallen off.

Soon, Ashira, the kid she was holding, and Kipp had come out a bit behind them. “Are we away from them yet?” The screams were a bit quieter, but it was still disturbing.

(I love that movie! Now I’ve got this voice stuck in my head: “Mawwaige.” Lol. I’ve got a lot of voices in my head)
Ashira looked around, feeling emotional as well. Her wounds seem to sting in the crisp air, but in a good way, like the leftover tang of mint toothpaste. “For now. We have to keep moving, but I think we can afford to set up camp for a bit and rest.” She gently set the little boy she had been carrying down and held her stomach. Now that the adrenaline rush was over, she was conscious of the painful, biting hunger clawing at her.

"Yeah, we are." Kipp answered his voice quiet and calm.

The light was absolutely blinding for Elon, after being stuck in the darkness so many days. The air was so pure, so full of oxygen it felt like he had been drinking skim milk for his whole life and now had cream, so rich that for a moment he felt he couldn’t consume it. And the green, on the mountains roots a color he had only seen on his pale, sweaty, dirty skin for days, it reminded him of the trees he belonged to.
Whether it was the light, so blinding after days of red firelight and gloomy tunnels, or the wind stabbing his eyes, the reminder of his life at home, or the freedom, amazing freedom, tears began to form in his eyes, in this pure, perfect moment.
Noah was a slightly more practical sort of boy.
“Are we safe yet?” Noah asked.
(Wait when did Seina learn English am I missing something?)
He looked down the hill that she was peering down. It was just the right hill for sliding down, like the ravine that he envied from The Princess Bride.
“Or are they still following us?”

"We have to get out of sight first. There might be a place to hide further down hill." He said answering both Ashira, and Noah. It would have been nice to stop right now, but there was no way standing just outside the door was going to be safe. Even with Take inside the likelihood of him being able to hold off everyone who came was extremely low.

Fred looked at the surroundings as the sun hit him for the first time in what felt like years. “Aww man” he winced at the blinding brightness. He rummaged through his pockets for the dust, there was enough to fight off anyone who somehow got past Take and enough for him to study. “Right, so what now? We are in the middle of nowhere oh wait, we are in the middle of somewhere I just don’t know where exactly.” Fred said taking off his glasses and trying to clean them only making a mess of brown dirt and blood on his glasses. “Does anyone have any CLEAN water?” He put extra emphasis on the word clean. His gaze flickered over Chion and then over Kipp, Ashira, Seina, Noah, Torrin, Emma, and the other kids he couldn’t quite remember their names. He gazed back at the cave, “we are never going back there” he breathed quietly.

Kipp didn't know that there was a kid who was able to pull water from the air, so he stepped closer to Fred. "You can hang on to me." He said, holding his one arm up. "Maybe you should hold on to the sword though." He was too tired to care that the two of them weren't getting along. The only thing in his mind was that they had to get out of there, as quickly and safely as they could, together.

“Okay. Is everyone ready?” Aria called grabbing onto Lilith and Ellie’s hands tightly “let’s go”. She felt her power surge out of her hands knowing it would get to everyone in the circle. She shut her eyes as the wind rushed past her eyes. It was like one of those roller coaster rides that twisted and spun her around hanging her upside down before yanking her away just as fast. “Okay, we’re here” just as fast as the teleportation had begun it had stopped and they were standing in a glade in the middle of the woods. “I need to go back and get another group. You guys should be alright”

“Thanks” Fred took the sword using it as a sort of crutch. “Let’s get out of here”.

Since I'm still not caught up with everyone Torin kept up with his group of weirdos, all the while questioning every decision he'd ever made.

“Oh right. Sorry lLilith you already said who. Okay, is everyone here?” Aria glanced around

Kyle’s pale face turned a raspberry red as he struggled to think of something to snap back. ‘Shorty.’ Kyle hated when people called him names. He was usually good tempered. But he also wanted respect.
“I didn’t have to help you,” he said. “I would have been fine on my own. But I wanted to help you rescue the kids.”
We would have gotten along just fine. The little people know how to survive in those woods, something even grown men can’t do.
And they wouldn’t have made it without me and Rylie. They would have become we-sa bait for sure.
( I also don’t know.

uhhh when do they arrive at the exit? Believe it or not I have contributed nothing in the children’s escape and have just let you breeze it along)

“Blair?” Cam asked.
Kyle’s face returned to its usual shade of View attachment 2044044.
“Should I rein her in?” he asked, climbing Rylie’s furry side.

Immediately tuned into the other conversation the second he heard his name, Ciro's brow lifted when he surmised what he'd just been grouped into. "Well, aparentemente I'm part of the trial group, then." He kept his face stolid for the most part, but he definitely wasn't too sure about this whole teleportation thing. He'd been exposed to just enough science fiction to grasp what teleportation was, but had no idea about the how. What exactly did your body do when it wasn't here? Were you disintegrated? Invisible? Shrunk too much for the naked eye to trace? Did you retain your consciousness during the teleportation? If not, where did it go? Did it hurt? Did you technically even exist while being teleported?
Whatever the science of it, none of it seemed too safe.
Then again, an interdimensional rift had just landed him in a whole new world with very real creatures of supposed myth.
"Wish me luck." He saluted Aella with a hopeless smile and the best shrug he could manage under the wolf-burdened circumstances before going over to join the six chosen.

“Okay. Everyone form a circle and we will get going” Aria smiled “also just a heads up, you may feel a bit nauseous on your first time”

“Me?” Korim asked. “I’ve met teleporters before, and, I’ll have to admit, I’m intrigued. I can’t wait to experience the new sensations.”

“The new sensations?” Cam asked nervously. Korim had always been excessively formal, though the way he worded sentences usually didn’t fill her with so much foreboding.

“Okay. Is everyone ready?” Aria called grabbing onto Lilith and Ellie’s hands tightly “let’s go”. She felt her power surge out of her hands knowing it would get to everyone in the circle. She shut her eyes as the wind rushed past her eyes. It was like one of those roller coaster rides that twisted and spun her around hanging her upside down before yanking her away just as fast. “Okay, we’re here” just as fast as the teleportation had begun it had stopped and they were standing in a glade in the middle of the woods. “I need to go back and get another group. You guys should be alright”

Lilith rolled her eyes at Kyle. "You've done hardly anything except discourage people." She said silkily, calling back to what he had said to Aria and Kylan.
She then turned away, waiting as Aria teleported them. Somehow, she wasn't sure when, it seemed that the mute girl and mask girl had both been added to the group and Ciro had been subtracted, but she didn't have time to complain about it due to Aria teleporting them.
She let go of Aria's hand, stumbling a bit but automatically straightening back up. "Alright. We'll wait. And, ya'know," She added, eyes showing a bit of humor. "we'll try to do our best to survive."

Chion watched her only passenger walk past, wondering if anyone was going to release her. She could easily, if she had to, but would prefer to find something to wear first. She grunted at the nearest kid rocking forward and back, requesting she be released.



"I'll sleep later. I'm not letting anyone carry me out this time." He muttered, giving Take a weird look when he proclaimed he was fifteen.



Kipp made eye contact with Fred, watching him slowly hobble toward them. For a brief moment he forgot the tension between them, then shifted his gaze away as the awkwardness returned. Turning to walk toward their goal.

(Did they all just leave the littles behind?... )

Kipp stopped in his tracks seeing Noah, who was unsurprisingly in the lead, the young kids presence reminding him of the others existence.

He sighed turning back, and helped Chion out of the harness. He wasn't sure why she decided to stay as she was, now that they didn't need the cart. But having someone to carry a kid or 2 was helpful. He figured 2 kids was about the same weight as Fred, and ushered Torrin and Alex up on to her back for a ride. Then picked up Emma carrying her himself. With out asking if it was ok, completely disregarding the reaction he'd had to Take picking him up.

(Alright we're moving. I'm going to bed. Ni ni)

Torin's brain was being overloaded by everything going on, only registering things as blurs of motion.
He gave a sad little cry when Take was separated from them, having really liked him and desperately hoped he'd rejoin them soon.
When beast-Chion slid down the hill, he gripped the scruff of her neck even tighter, paling a bit and clamping his mouth shut in fear.

Aria laughed shaking her head, “alright, back to get the next group”. She quickly teleported back to the group, “hey. I’m back. Who’s groups next?”

Kevin raised his hand slightly. “I think we’re the last ones,” he said, looking around at the people standing next to him. “Are you feeling okay? I know teleporting so many people is exhausting.”

Kevin raised his hand slightly. “I think we’re the last ones,” he said, looking around at the people standing next to him. “Are you feeling okay? I know teleporting so many people is exhausting.”

“Yep, I’m okay. I can do it” she said determined

Now that the adrenaline rush was over, she was conscious of the painful, biting hunger clawing at her.

“Where’s Chion going?” Noah asked. Seeing the strange badger creature sliding down the hill caused him to make the impulsive decision to slide on after her.
The little stones skittering down after him were painful, but it was an exciting ride. And breathing freely. It was something he all too often took for granted.
Noah slowed himself from whipping over a small cliff by digging his already dirty fingernails and toenails into the hill. He wandered after Chion happily.

“Okay. Is everyone ready?” Aria called grabbing onto Lilith and Ellie’s hands tightly “let’s go”. She felt her power surge out of her hands knowing it would get to everyone in the circle.

You guys should be alright”

“Woah,” Cam said. Teleporting wasn’t so bad, or so different from those blue amulet stones. She’d imagined breaking up into little bits and reassembling somewhere else, but it was more like a roller coaster through the sky. She stumbled unsteadily. “Wait, we’re in the woods? Why are we in the woods? Did we even agree on where we’re going to reappear?”
