Run, run, follow me [Open Mingle]

Date: Saturday, 4.1.2020
Characters: OPEN


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.

Does he at least have any other climbing experience?

I sure hope that either him or former him did.

[She trusts that he does - Ben is a pretty sensible kid.]

I may be able to provide some assistance if he needs it. I've done quite a bit of climbing in my time.

I think the less people they are the less likely it is that the mouse wakes up and we ...get another earthquake, or tsunami, or... [Whatever other calamities are suddenly possible with all of this.]

A fair point, a very fair point.

Still, it would be a shame if he were injured owing to a relatively mundane accident that could have been prevented with help.

Depending on what he brings up, you might be able to prevent him from going back alone without preparation.

That's the best one can hope for, I suppose.

...That would be pretty good, honestly.
