Thread: Split Ends: Start-Up

Kris said nothing, simply becoming a Merge again, then folding her arms, shutting her eyes, and falling asleep, her fingers shining with a soft glow that gently varied in intensity.

Scorpion slowly relaxed, eventually falling asleep in the tree.
Max placed himself a few feet to the side of everyone else before curling up and falling asleep as well.

The next morning...

Emily infiltrated Genesis again, locking herself in a restroom cubicle.

John infiltrated Genesis again, locking himself in a janitor's closet.

Kris yawned as she woke up, using her powers to rouse the others. "Ap, im ib ilabert itunerk. Milsim Genesis ej u Castelia City, oka es orbod macejs ejom ilsim do conis onvarpsi. Castelia ej okat otsug Ap, im ib ilabert itunerk. Milsim Genesis ej u Castelia City, oka es orbod maćejs ejom ilsim do ćonis onvarpsi. Castelia ej okat otsug anejlesan, ot ej okšet itavorejv ad ećen itib onup gonvaj azovejirp omat. Elkod dog oms itatso navzi ucnus, ilabert omsib itib u uder.*"

*Well, we ought to get going. I think Genesis is in Castelia City, if I remember my thoughts from last night correctly. Castelia is so densely populated, it's hard to believe there won't be a lot of public transport there. As long as we stay out of sunlight, we should be fine.

"Okay, sounds good. And you're not speaking English anymore, that's... weird, I guess." She said, and tried to manuver herself out of the tree, which resulted in her falling out of it.

"Ja masin kejvoč, ap onvaran ad es en ežom itirovog English,*" Kris stretched as she spoke, "Orbod, omedi!**"

*I'm not human, so of course I can't speak English.
**Alright, let's go!

"What? Have you got amnesia, too? Do you remember exactly what happened when you took the medicine yesterday?"

"Ad, onvaran, ila... Aj onvatsondej en maćejs English. Aj en manz otšaz. Adžom mas oivarobaz iravts onjart neđargu u Kris's ejiromem. Ne manz. Omja s mijn.*"

*Yeah, of course, but... I just don't remember English. I don't know why. Maybe I forget things permanently embedded in Kris's memory. I don't know. Let's just get on with it.

"Alright," Scorpion said, and started walking. "Should we walk just to the side of the route, still in the shade of the forest, so we can stay shadow-human?" she said as she morphed into shadow-human form.

"Arbod ajedi,*" Kris said, becoming Shadow-Human, "Better safe than sorry, after all."

*Good idea.

"Aaaannd you're speaking English again. I don't understand you at all..." Scorpion said, following.

"Yes, I know! I don't know how it works either."

OOC: We're gonna have to skip a few hours quite soon anyway, so do you want to just skip to Genesis?

OOC: Sure.

Later still...

"Well, we're in," Kris murmured, "Find somewhere to hide. I'll call you when it's safe to come out."

Scorpion found some closet of sorts, which held uniforms, and went to the back of it, dragging an unsure-looking Max along with her. Max was still wearing that ridiculously huge backpack that someone as small as him shouldn't have been carrying, but it didn't seem to bother him. He hoped it wouldn't be of inconvenience, though.

And four hours later... Bloody hell, this is taking a long time...

John exited the closet and went to the roof, riding in a cart down the side of the building.

"Ot ej u uder ad uđazi adas,*" Kris called.

Foster entered the restroom with two armed security guards. "We know you're in here, so why not make this easy and come on out?" Emily began to panic. She lifted her feet up as Foster clapped her hands. "Find her then." The guards began kicking down cubicle doors. They were getting closer... Emily had to think of something, and fast. And then, not three cubicles away, a woman was pulled out. "Ah... Penny Dingham, isn't it?"
"Your records have been hushed up, Foster! I've looked into it all! There's something about those pills that you aren't telling us! Spill!" Penny demanded.
"Oh, I will... All in due course. Bring her to my office."
And with that, the four left. Emily sighed in relief.

OOC: @Knock Out; There. We've got on with it.
