[Knight Errant]

Elliot let his head fall forward as the helmet lined back up with his suit, his hands reaching down to the floor to support him as he took in several deep breaths. He saw her feet come closer, and looked up, another shiver running down his spine as she looked right in front of his visor. When she reached for the helmet, he struggled, heart racing as he found out how surprisingly strong she was no.

"No... ", he groaned as he felt it slip from his head again, and he fell back, ending up in a sitting position, slouched against the wall of the elevator, legs spread out in front of him, blue eyes watching her lips with a mixture of fascination and horror.

She smiles... amusement dancing in her eyes. "Mmm... dont sit like that, little one... you dont want to flash your panties..." She leans closer... and closer. Her perfume all around him as she fills his vision. "Here... let me kiss it and make it better." The last thing he remembers is her soft lips on his as everything fades to black.

When he wakes up... he is confronted with a pink ceiling. He feels groggy and... soft... something he is wearing feels so soft...

Well the woman seems vapid, but honestly when you're competing against barely post animtronics low grade Ais an abundance of smarts probably isn't desired. She seems healthy enough though and getting to the admin might give then the right answers, who knows maybe it is just a faulty com that has gotten over blown. He takes the clip board and looks it over.

It seems a standard one. With the mark of the Weyland Corp in the upper right. A little thumbprint scanner and such.

"Hah!" Alex draws in gun once the creature starts jumping around, and steps back and fires on it as it approaches him.

It twists in midair... its movements somewhere between graceful and creepily inhuman... avoiding the shots. Then suddenly its out of sight... over the rail... below the catwalk. But he can hear the clicking, clanging sound of its climbing as it moves closer, underneath the walkway...

[Harri-chan]

Charlie looked at her in confusion, but it became hard to focus when she leaned so close, her perfume so strong. He murmured against her lips as everything went dark and he felt himself go numb.

When he woke, he lifted a hand to rub at his eyes, struggling to wake himself. He blinked a couple of times, gazing up at the pink ceiling before realising something else was off. His suit wasn't meant to be soft in the slightest, and his hands brush down over the material of whatever he was wearing before his gaze followed.

[Kether]

He signs a preset alias letting the system do its thing "here you go Ma'am"

[Ookalf]

"OK, so you're gonna be tricky..." Alex starts moving toward the end of the walkway, away from the creature, and hopefully toword somewhere where it won't be able to jump around so much.

His suit wasn't meant to be soft in the slightest, and his hands brush down over the material of whatever he was wearing before his gaze followed.

He looks down and finds himself in a floofy pink dress and white apron. Silky white petticoats pushing it out around him, as beneath it he sees his legs in white hose... leading down to a pair of shiny pink mary janes. As he looks, he feels a shift... as his hair shifts around his shoulders. Falling in thick shiny blonde curls.

The girl smiles her vacant smile as the pad is signed... there is a beep! She blinks. "Ah, wonderful! I'm sure your eager to get started... so I'll lead you to your room!"

"OK, so you're gonna be tricky..." Alex starts moving toward the end of the walkway, away from the creature, and hopefully toword somewhere where it won't be able to jump around so much.

Up ahead is a ladder down to the sublevels, and tunnel to his right leading back up to the surface utility tunnels. As he moves, he hears the clack clank click below him... shadowing his movements. Then... silence.

[Harri-chan]

Charlie rubbed the white apron between his fingers, and he felt his chest tighten at the sight of it, and the pink dress! He watched the petticoats rolling as he shifted, and stretched his legs out, gazing in horror and the white material that hugged them now, and the little shiny pink shoes on his feet. He turned his head slightly to look around and felt the curls brush over his shoulder, and a shiver ran down the length of his spine.

"What the heck... ", he moaned, both hands lifting and curling up, rubbing at his eyes before taking another disbelieving look at his attire. It all rustled softly as he awkward sat himself upright, a burning redness spreading across his face as it started to sink in that this was actually real.

It is real... alarmingly real. The shoes look nicely rounded at the toe... and have a flat heel. Something a little girl might wear in a costume... in fact, the whole attire screams 'little girl'. And more worryingly, as he feels his hair shift, he notices its quite real... though it feels longer, thicker, and much softer than before. And his hands in front of his face look slender... the skin pale, soft, and blemishless... tipped with short nails painted a glossy pink.

Once he has torn his eyes from that horror... he would notice he is in a cutesy room. Pink walls with pictures of unicorns and other cuddly animals surround him... and some of the softness he felt on waking is due to the cushy bed he woke up on. Frilly pillows, soft cotton sheets, and fluffy stuffed animals surround him. But it is a bed... What might be more worrying is the rather large crib in the corner...

The room is slightly dark... but by no means hard to see in. Partly due to a night light plugged into the wall, in the shape of a big red heart. Beside the bed is a big wardrobe with a small painted box set atop it, a large wooden chest, a closet, and what looks like a diaper changing station.

[Harri-chan]

Charlie rolled to the side of the bed and dropped into a crouch beside it. Not only did the dress and it's petticoats rustle with each and every movement, ruining any chance of sneaking, but that swish could be felt throughout the entire garment. As the skirt swayed, it created a little pull on the rest of the material, all the way up to his shoulders, and his heart fluttered with nerves and embarrassment as it took a long moment after he had stopped moving, for the dress to do the same.

Swallowing a deep breath, he felt one hand move to his waist through instinct, reaching for a gun that was no longer there. Wincing, he instead brought it up, staring at the delicate little fingers and the glossy pink nails, before sweeping some blonde curls from in front of his face, trying to tuck them behind his ear. His blue eyes peered downwards as he crouched, pulling on the material of the flared out dress in order to be able to see down passed it, and the rounded little shoes which utterly lacked any kind of proper grips on the soles.

He took in the semi-lit room, and slowly rose up a little, groaning as the dress began to swish and rustle again. Still crouching, he tried to creep like his training had told him, but the body and the outfit seemed at such drastic odds with his brain now as he snuck across the room, around the diaper changing station, carefully stepping over some toys... his heart racing now as he reached up for the door handle and tried to pull it open...

[Kether]

He smiles, "Lead the way Miss"

[Ookalf]

The lack of sound from the creature could be a good thing, Alex figures. It could mean it's decided to leave him alone. Just in case it hasn't, though, he decides to head into the tunnel. After all, down below was where he last saw it.

Instead of a gun, he finds the straps of the apron... winding around to a big silky bow in the back of his dress. His sneaking attempt was almost comical... his dress swish swishing with nearly every movement... at least he wasnt on tile... those shiny shoes looked like they would make quite the clack against a hard surface. The soft, cushy carpet is the only thing going for him.

The doorknob... its nearly at eye level with him. He has to reach up instead of down to wind those soft fingers around the shiny brass sphere... turning it... and bringing it open. Inside is an equally soft, feminine apartment... but of a bit more mature tones than his little girl's paradise of a room. Directly ahead is a large set of windows that looks down on the bright lights of the casino... and up to the swirling gasses and sparkling rings of saturn. He must be in the habitation towers somewhere...

As he looks around, he hears a melodious humming... coming from the kitchen...

He smiles, "Lead the way Miss"

And so she does! Through the hallways, scorch marks... and the signs of overturned barricades... over to the north eastern section of the ring quadrant. "We have an express tram available for employees, miss." She says. As soon enough they do come across a long plexiglass and titanium tunnel with a sleek train resting at the berth. She opens the door for him... smiling all the while.

The lack of sound from the creature could be a good thing, Alex figures. It could mean it's decided to leave him alone. Just in case it hasn't, though, he decides to head into the tunnel. After all, down below was where he last saw it.

As he makes his way up the tunnel... he hears an eerie giggle behind him... Looking back, he would see her... its face... peering up from the access ladder he had considered. Almost lazily, it puts a clawed hand on the walkway surface... tensing as if to push herself up onto the walkway. Its other hand raises... a slender finger beckoning him to return.

Ahead lies the sub utility tunnels. He is still near docking, and as such its mostly cargo shoots, pipes, and electrical maintenance tunnels. There is an access to the surface, but it is a bit of a ways away. As for going down to his objective... the route leads right through the... whatever it is. The only other ways down would be to go back into the ring, go around to another section, and try that access. Or get past the... thing.

[Harri-chan]

Charlie pulled open the door, and then took a quick step to the side, the swiftness causing an even louder rustling of the dress. Pressing up against the wall, he then slowly leaned and peered around the door frame, and into the apartment. After a full minute of seeing no movement, he crossed into the room, the swish and sway of the dress making even the simple task of walking feel rather bizarre. He blushed as he saw the reflection of what seemed like a sweet little girl in the large glass windows, and gulped when he came to a stop in front of them, and gazed down onto the casino floor.

Turing his back to the window, he leaned against it and took several deep breaths, blue eyes roaming around the feminine room, looking to see if any of his equipment was laying around. Of course, even if he did have his communicator, he wasn't sure he'd actually be able to bring himself to report back on what had happened. There was a good chance they'd not even believe him, and if they did... what if they laughed? He moaned a little under his breath and clutched handfuls of the dress, squirming at the way all those ruffles and frills tickled at his thighs.

Hearing the humming coming from another room, he bit on his bottom lip before he started to move towards it, darting to the couch, then ducking and pausing, before scurrying to the table and doing the same there. He felt as ridiculous as he must have looked as he reached the door itself, and blushed again at the eye-level door handle as he reached up and curled his small hand around it, trying to turn it as slowly and as quietly as possible, in order to pull the door open just a crack and peek through the gap...

His reflection was almost unrecognizable... No matter how closely he looked... all he saw was an adorable little girl staring back at him... Her slender figure clad in that poofy, frilly pink and white dress... soft hands clutching it nervously as her heart shaped face looks into his. Her eyes looked big, blue, and expressive... her face soft and pale... the only make up she wore was on those polished nails, but she has a rosy tinge to her cheeks... from embarrassment or just a natural tint its hard to tell. Those blonde curls fall thick around her face... looking so shiny and soft... almost too shiny, like how a dolls hair might look.

As he finally looks away from his reflection... breaking sight with that image of a cute little girl... to creep over to the door... he knows he cant truly escape from it. That was reinforced by every bob of his curls... every swish of his dress... every step of his shiny shoes...

Finally, once he is finished his little sneaking routine... feeling more like a little child playing pretend than a trained operative... he cracks open the door... looking inside... Inside is a rather large kitchen. Tiled floor, counter tops, stoves, refrigeration unit. Its quite old fashioned, in this day of freeze dried and instant meals... But the smell wafting over causes his mouth to water. Something rich and sweet and warm...

The humming is coming from a woman working over by the counter and oven... swaying slightly as she works... She wears a bright blue dress, apron, stockings and high heels. And her blonde hair flows down her back in soft waves. Though her back is turned to him, he can tell she has quite the figure... tight waist, full round rear... and the shape of her chest straining that apron can just be seen as she turns to reach for a mixing spoon...

[Ookalf]

"Hah..." Once he figures he's a safe distance away, Alex stops and looks back toward the end of the tunnel. There the creature was, just sitting there, watching him. And that laugh... Could it actually be intelligent? ...Either way, he's clearly not getting down there as long as it's in the way. The real question is what to do about it.

After weighing his options, Alex decides to go back up and find another way down. After all, he's just the tech guy. He may have some combat experience, but that thing seems like it'll be a bit beyond his ability to deal with on his own. As he runs off to find another way, he gives the team another call. "Price again. Just had an encounter with unknown, hostile lifeform. Incredibly quick, sharp claws... Kind of looked like a living mannequin. Be on guard if you see it, or any others. I've got a feeling it has something to do with what's going on."

[Kether]

He looks over the various signs of attack. "So Miss would you explain what happened over there?"
