I.

It's midday when trouble seems to brew underfoot. Literally underfoot, in cases - wherever the Numbered are, they'll suddenly find dormice approaching them, running around their feet, in some cases up their legs, aiming to get their attention, and then running off - coming back again, running off once more in the same direction.

Trying to get the Numbered to FOLLOW.


II.

If Numbered decide to follow the mice, they'll be lead through the streets, fields, or whatever there is (in some cases, this might mean that the mice are trying to lead them through the military area aroudn the air base). Perhaps they'll run into other Numbered on the way - all mice seem to be leading those that they lead into the exact same direction.


III.

The direction of, it turns out, the tunnels under the cliffs. The mice will easily slip through the grates that bar the entries - the grates were made to keep humans out and let a tiny mice through easily. The Numbered, however... well, the grates were installed solid and sturdy to keep humans out. The mice will vanish in the tunnels and not come back.

I don't know why else the mice led us here

Are we supposed to wake it

I don't want to wake it

[dreamtamer]

Maybe its lonely. It looks like it must have been stuck down here for a long time.

[runs]

You can't be lonely while you're asleep.

[spaghettimonster]

Unless... you dream about being alone

[runs]

...That would be a stupid dream.

[She sometimes has stupid dreams.]

[dreamtamer]

It doesn't sound like a stupid dream to me. It just sounds sad.

[spaghettimonster]

Little too sad if you ask me

Now I feel like I ought to wake it up

[runs]

DON'T.

[WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO BE EATEN.]

[spaghettimonster]

I'll see what the mice say

[He won't try that hard, that is.]
