Neko-Jin HQ

Teacher's Pet leans forward a little, unfortunately putting too much pressure on Tetsuo. They begin to fall backwards, landing on the floor. Though Tetsuo realizes that the 'floor' is a good bit squishier then usual, and floors don't normally go 'ow'.

Scientia tries very hard not to laugh.

[Mitera Nikkou]

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Tetsuo said idly, half-lidded eyes looking over her shoulder, her purr motor still running. "Lemme shift around a bit..."

She shifted her shoulders around, nuzzling down Catnip's bosom until her shoulders pushed up said bosom, her neck and head pillowed in the cleavage. She tilted her head back and to the side she could kiss the underside of Catnip's chin. She hadn't forgotten about TP (XD), whom she continued to hug while she caressed her legs up and down hers.

Genno's Party:

Neko watches the bars continue to melt. "Do the lock next! Do the lock next!"


Tetsuo's Party:

A torrent of water sends the three sprawling across the cold metal, rolling like bowling balls. They hit into each other when they reach the wall, the water soaking them to the bone. Then it stops, and the three roll downwards in a heap.

Scientia takes off a fireman's hat, and puts the hose down. "Sorry. I had this installed in case of emergency. We ARE in a blimp, after all. But, it's useful for other things. So, want to go see how Neko is doing, or maybe meet with the big boss? Or, perhaps, we could get you mission-ready with Rose?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo sputtered, and her shoulders were slumped. Gone was her state of bliss, replaced by cold, wet... She never knew that she'd ever consider water to be icky. Nevertheless, it was evident that the mention of Neko got her attention. She stood up to say something with enthusiasm right after she heard the first option, but then turned away and blushed demurely, wanting to see Neko, but not knowing if she'd like her as she now was.

[Teddy]

Genno focused what little control he had on the lock, still muttering to himself, trying to keep his anger fueled flames going for as long as they could.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Catnip looks up at her, as she unrolls herself from Teacher's Pet. "What is it boy? Huh, huh. Is Timmy stuck in the well?"

Teacher's pet gets up, and shakes her head quietly. "Lassie jokes are beneath you. I believe she wishes to see the progenitor. Did they not have a relationship?"

Catnip gives a thumbs-up. "Yeah, they were friends. They split up, though. Maybe we should reunite the two time-lost loves? Like Romeo and Juliet!"

Scientia's hand scoots towards the garbage chute button. She whispers to herself a bit too loudly. "No one would blame you...she tried to do it to you..."

[Mitera Nikkou]

One of Tetsuo's ears twitched a bit, picking up what Scientia was whispering about. When she glanced in her direction, she hopped over to her side and hugged her, her hands reaching around to hold back the arm reaching for the garbage chute button.

"Um, I'd like to, uh... See Neko... I-if it's no trouble." She said, half out of embarrassment, and half out of exasperation, the latter feeling expressed in her face, directed toward Scientia.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Scientia nods, and seems sorta disappointed. "Darnnit. I'm pretty sure she would have stopped herself anyway. Now, Neko is over in the pri..."

Teacher's Pet interrupts. "She's in a special guest section. We can take you there if you wish. It's right this way. It's a bit far though..."

Teacher's Pet motions to the door.



Meanwhile, Genno's efforts have worked, if nearly exhausted him. The lock melts, and falls to the ground, as the bars ooze towards the floor, hissing as they burn. Genno is free, and Neko is still stuck in the next cell.

[Teddy]

Genno collapses onto the cot, then looks around. "Neko... I'm sorry. I don't think I could do that again."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Neko thinks for a minute. "Hm, you could look for a key, or we could do the standard 'leave me behind, I'll catch up' kind of stuff. I know! Maybe I'm an NPC! Yeah, then I'd be able to just meet up with you when necessary, and ignore all the crazy stuff you'll have to go through!"

Somewhere, Scientia suddenly got the impression that raising Neko on Final Fantasy and such was probably a bad idea...

[Teddy]

"I'll look for a key.. But first, do you know where we are? I'd like to know what I might find around here... Like any unleashed demons that may be hungering for my soul?"

[Chibi MitchellTF]

The room is just a standard corridor, it's got a fire extinguisher, an intercom, and a keypad. The keypad is attached to a glass opening, which looks like it's locked shut. Genno would have to get closer to figure it out.

Neko thinks. "I was unconscious when they brought me in, but I know it's the Neko-Jin. They're the ones who created me. I don't think they can summon demons. At most, you'd just have to deal with an army of catgirls. But, I think most of them were scattered."

[Teddy]

"Army. Of catgirls. Joy." Genno walked closer to the keypad, studying it. "Could we get help in any way? Like me leaving, grabbing Elise and anyone else who'd be willing to help, and come back for ya?"

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Neko nods. "Yup. Especially since getting out will help you find the location. I doubt we're outside the city."

The keypad is a standard 0-9 keypad, and appears to have five digits in the code. There is no 'enter' key. The glass case seems to pop open, probably when the keypad activates. Under the glass is a thin opening, and deep inside the opening is a glass box, just about the size of the opening. Genno can see the key inside the box, but it's too far to reach.

[Teddy]

"So. We're inside the city still? Or are we so far away from it, I might as well call forth the demon?" Genno tried to melt the lock and pull the glass case off to see if he could free Neko.
