Black Pearl Harbor

[Raleigh]

*Victoria pulls out a small piece of chalk and begins writing on a nearby wall with it.* Give me but a moment and I'll have us back on the other side. See, that wasn't so bad all in all. I had expected far more trouble than this.

[AmbushCat]

*eyes still looking about* Try not to jinx it too badly, now...

[Raleigh]

Victoria: Relax. Nothing bad will happen now. *The chalk drawing she made opens up another portal back to the warehouse they had left.* See. *Some sounds come from outside the room.*

[AmbushCat]

Can't blame me for being a bit paranoid, Miss Victoria. I live in Spamville. *steps into the portal*

[Raleigh]

Victoria: That makes sense. *Maria will likely make it back through perfectly fine. After a bit too long Victoria steps through with a red spot on her torso and collapses on the ground.*

[AmbushCat]

Victoria! *grunts as she drags Victoria away from the portal* Are you alright? ...Okay, stupid question.

[Raleigh]

Victoria: I'll be fine in a moment. It takes a just a few for the regeneration to kick in. It would seem a patrol had passed through the basement just as we were leaving. I really hate being shot.

[AmbushCat]

*a bit on the stressed side* I imagine a lot of people would. Don't scare me like that!

[Raleigh]

Victoria:Sorry about that. Now, while I regenerate, you were saying you wanted to be able to return home, yes?

[AmbushCat]

Well... yes. For a visit, at least.

[Raleigh]

Victoria: I've got a ring I can give you that will let you change back for awhile. It'll stay on you even in your other form but once you return to the surface or two months pass it'll cut off and return you to this form. I'll talk with my boss about providing you a method to change back and forth at will in the mean time. I'm sure you would like to go visit your family soon rather than wait for that to be prepared.

[AmbushCat]

*smiles gratefully* That would be great. Thank you, Victoria.

[Raleigh]

*Victoria's wound seems to be sealing up well enough for her to try and stand back up.* Victoria: Let me get it for you and then I'll get in contact with my boss. Could you hand me the flute so I can lock it up for him to pick up later?

[AmbushCat]

*Maria hands the flute over without hesitation.*

[Raleigh]

*Takes the flute and then walks over to a seemingly mundane wall before a section of it slides away and she sets the flute within. She then reaches further back in the smugglers hole and pulls out the promised ring.* Victoria: And here is your payment.
