[WHOA SHIT THAT CAT IS FUCKING WITH MY COMPACT MIRROR, walking over with an amused(?) huff to levitate the mirror away from it, back turned to B]

This is why the ecosystem was a mistake.

[still Absolutely Pitch Black, but she can see! it's just a cat, bah, so she paces over to the door—weird, it's kinda open??]

Could he have gotten out...? That quickly?

[SIGHS, placing her hand on the knob but just so she can get lost in spoken thought, that old chestnut]

Someone most definitely made it.

[time for a localized earthquake that rattles the building dangerously, shaking the floor and shattering the glass]

Re: the ransom

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Thank fuck for Stability, putting a hand on the wall to help stablize himself, holding B tighter to wait it out. ]
