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.

I'm still in the tunnels with Grandpa.

Please tell Granpa to take you back out of the tunnels and to the surface.

Gizmo won't let me go near the little mice, and they're blocking the way out.
catted: (listening)

...Have you asked them to move? From all that I've heard and seen they seem to understand human speech and can be argued with.
dreamtamer: (shy)

No? He's really scared of them, so I didn't get very close.
catted: (serious)

...Can you call out to them from a distance?

Or shall I come over there? [She technically doesn't know where Thom is, but... maybe one of her new abilities will help, if she can see life maybe she can sense familiar life over longer distances, too? Or she can ask a tiny mouse for help.]

I guess I can give it a try?

[There is a long pause before he comes back to the conversation.]

Its okay! I think they're going to let us past.
catted: (my mum face)

I'm glad to hear that.

I'll see you in a few minutes, then?

[Thank god her kids are in one piece. Now she just has to hope that the same will be true for Rosemary and Agatha's kid.]
