Ian finally had to stop and take a breather "S-Samaki... he huffed, he was totally beat "H-Hey Flynn, l-lets find a place to r-rest for the night" he panted as he regained his composure

Flynn was out of breath too. "Re...rest sounds... good... any ideas for shelter?" He hadn't seen the tent. Or if he had, he didn't know that it was empty.

"W-Well I had a tent ready, b-but its along with Samaki... its over in the woods, so we would have to.... explore... a little more..." Ian sighed and shuffled his feet in the sand, catching sight of his tent in the corner of his eye "O-Over there!" he nodded and padded over to the tent, deciding to call Samaki once more, incase he was nearby "SAMAKIII!" he called and waited

As Ian padded over to the tent he noticed it was fully constructed. There was even a small unlit campfire next to it. Samaki must of finished while Ian was gone. The only problem was the black fox didn't seem to be around. The best thing to do for now is sleep and start searching again tomorrow.

"Well, I'm pooped. I say we sleep and look around in the morning... but we may want to sleep with one eye open, so to speak. I heard a couple voices earlier talking about shooting things."

Ian let out a sigh, "Your right, lets get some sleep..." he said quietly and slipped into the tent "No fire, like you said if people are shooting, best not draw attention"

Flynn crawled into the tent too and maneuvered himself to sleep comfortably in the space available. "Let's hope we find more out ab out where we are tomorrow," he said before closing his eyes.
(OOC: this is my way of saying I have no idea how big the tent is)

"Y-Yeah..." Ian agreed before rolling onto his side and closing his eyes to get some much needed rest

Scraps darted into the tunnel and flattened himself against the wall. He tried to quiet his breathing as much as possible and move as little as possible.

Suddenly the light that was chasing him turned off. The voices stopped and the world returned to darkness. The only thing Scraps could hear was his quiet breathing and his own heartbeat. The tunnel was still open in front of him. Should he risk going back out, stay where he is or try his luck in the cave?

Scraps couldn't tell if his pursuers were gone so he stayed in the cave.

For a few minutes... Nothing happened. The world was still.

Then Scraps felt something connect to the back of his head with a *thwack* and his mind went blank.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

End of Day 1. Day 2 will begin as soon as Day 1.5 ends. Starting post will be posted shorty (maybe...)

And with that, everyone was asleep, (more or less).

(( Mmm.... Dream sequences... ))

Scratch blinked, then pulled herself upright in her desk. Aww crap... did I fall asleep in class? She glanced over at the wolf next to her, quickly bending down to help him grab the closest book to hers, handing it back over with a nod and a smile. She looked down at the teacher, trying to figure out what he was teaching opening her own notebook to whatever she'd been doodling before she fell asleep and working to catch up to the current point in the coyote's lecture.

In the back of her mind, she felt like there was something she should be listening for... a little bell perhaps? What did the bell mean...? She also had a weird feeling about whatever she was wearing not being her clothes, and glanced briefly down to find out what she'd put on for this class...

Scraps turned around to see who was behind him. The who? Where am I?

As Flynn noticed the stars he thought to himself Well, at least this isn't Groundhog day.
He stood up to look around and see if he could see anything to suggest what had happened to Ian and the tent.

"By the Fates." Harrison said as he looked around "Where in the world am I... again!?" he wondered for another minute before sighing and scratching the back of his head "Oh well, might as well just look around..." he mumbled quietly and began to examine the building he was at

Ian sighed as he sat up "Flynn couldn't have gone too far, he probably just went to search for food..." he said to himself, pulling out a piece of gum and putting it in his mouth "Samaki... Flynn... Where are you two..." he asked out loud as he got to his feet and stretched

"W-Whats going on! What happend to the beach!?! The Trees!?!" Ian shook his head, taking his crystal and holding it in hand, he ventured forward towards the pyramid "Something is going on, and I am going to find out what!"

Scratch blinked. This wasn't her jacket. She knew her jacket, it was given to her by... Carl. Carl was a human. Humans ran the real world. This non-human college world didn't make sense... what happened to- the bell cut her thoughts off. Oh! Class is over! I hope I didn't sleep through TOO much of the lecture... She started repacking her bag, but slowed a little: wait... Was that the bell she was expecting? It sounded like a bell she'd heard at this college, but... she wasn't expecting that bell, she was expecting her alarm-clock... which would wake her-


Scratch looked up, blinking, "Oh? Ok then..." She took another glance at the doodle she'd drawn, trying to recognize what it was briefly before shoving it back in her satchel. She stood up, brushed her fur a bit with her paws, and slung her satchel over her shoulder before heading down to the front of the room. Ok, I'm pretty sure this isn't real, but I'm gonna go with it, spirits of illusion. You better not be just screwing with me... she thought, remembering the visions she'd seen during various trance-rites, but not remembering that she'd fallen asleep with Harrison in the cave or anything about what had happened leading up to that. She walked over to the professor with a smile, "What's up Professor Gordon? I see you're wearing pants today..." she chuckled, "here I thought you hated 'em with a passion!" She grinned, leaning backwards against a desk beside him, tail swishing gently back and fourth...

(( Hee hee, there's only one coyote with a college degree that I know, and his name is... FLASH GORDON: DEFENDER OF PANTSLESSNESS! ))

"Ah, the carnival. Where a scam artist can take your money and you don't even care," Flynn said. "Too bad I don't have any cards to play three card Monty. Oh well, I may as well check it out."
He headed towards the pier, really hoping no one would try to shoot him on the way there. He danced a little to the music as he walked.

"A ceremony?" Harrison mumbled to himself before heading downwards. He was walking slowly and carefully, knowing he had no effective hiding places around him. Plus he had no other option anyway. "Lady Luck, guide my path!" he prayed quietly, walking towards the ceremony.

Ian smiled as he caught sight of the black fox, to excited to make sure "Samaki!" he called, walking quickly towards the fox

Scratch pouted, "Aw, come on: I can't have fun with my own visions? If you don't want me to tease you, maybe I can hit on you: maybe I need 'extra credit'..." she chuckled, "Or not... I'm just tryin' to be friendly 'professor', you don't want me to play along a little?" she giggled. She did note however that the coyote mentioned stealing all the water, which was odd, seeing as he'd stolen the sun and moon in the legend, but she didn't bother commenting.


Scratch glanced down and noticed this, and carefully slid the book back onto the desk. She blinked at the odd cover, wondering what it meant: it seemed significant...


Scratch blinked, "Oh... Oh that's right..." she looked down at her jacket, holding it with a paw as she remembered its owner, "Harrison..." She looked back up at him, "Yeah, he's part-wolf actually, and he seems like an adult, so I figure it's ok. We have alot in common, ya know? And I figure it'll keep me sane if I have a 'thing' going while I'm stuck wherever I'm at." She sighed, then yanked a chair over from somewhere (she figured there was a chair there: this place was an illusion, so why bother even looking) and sat down backwards, leaning over the back, towards the board. "So, teacher teacher, tell me: what's my lesson?" she quoted, looking at the board and listening to the Coyote...

She was remembering her mnemonics, but she really hoped she didn't wake up in a flaming tent this time: that hadn't been fun...

Scraps was dumbfounded, how could she know his real name? He took a couple quick strides and caught up to the cat. "Alright I suppose you got me there. I don't suppose you could tell me how you know my real name?"

Flynn took the cotton candy. "Well that's a bit curious. Hope this isn't poison," He said as he ate it and continued to explore the pier. He decided to stand by and watch one of the game runners cheating suckers out of their money.

The scene around him was almost like utopia, but as much as Harrison tried to resist, the though of joining them seemed to become stronger. Luckily the half-wolf didn't last that long to give himself to wishes. His instinct was telling him that there was something not right in this place. He decided to look around. Who knows, maybe he would've found something more interesting if he would've checked the instrument players or maybe just look around. But something within Harrison told him not to let his guard down, so he decided to look around a bit more carefully.

Flynn's eyes lit up when he saw the cards. "Lucky coin, you've done it again. Haven't actually done this without a shill in a while."
He walked up to the table and searched through the deck for three random cards, stuffing one in his collar, then he pulled out the queen of hearts and set it and the two others face down.
"Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. find the pretty lady and win."

Scraps continued to follow but he was definitely on edge. He didn't like being led around blind. "I figured as much. Well if you won't tell me that maybe you'll tell me what exactly I'm helping you out with? I know I don't look like much but I'm not some kind of attack dog you can just point at whoever you've got beef with. "

Scratch grinned, "Well Pal, I believe I will take it as a compliment: diamond are shiny, and so is that pretty thing in your hand." She was, of course, taking the multi-tool as a suggestion that she'd find it and perhaps her jacket soon, if she didn't just wake up with it. "So what's the triangle, and what kinda wager are we talking about? Actually, I know the triangle from the cave. What's the wager?" She held the chairback in front of her as she slyly dealt with the spirit, tail flicking back and fourth behind her...

Ian took a step back "H-How do you know my name!? Where am I!? Whats going on!?" he asked, not yelling, but in a slightly raised voice "And where is Samaki!?"

"How much are you willing to wager, pal? Put as much as you want on the card you think is the queen of hearts once I'm done shuffling them."
Flynn raised the first card, revealing the Ace of Spades, followed by the third which was the ten of clubs. finally, he showed the shepherd the middle card, which was the Queen of Hearts.

Ian though for a second before stopping the doors and slipping inside "At least tell me who your are..." he asked, his hand tightening around the crystal, ready to act if needed, he would have stayed behind, but this fox knew something, and he needed to find out what that was

Scratch blinked, "...Bounty... Wait... Did... Did someone put a hit on us?" she thought about the occasional crime-rings, corporate-schemes, and political-scandals they'd thwarted, but she never thought that they were THAT much of a thorn in any villain's side... She sighed and shrugged it off, "Well, Carl was always the brawn... and alot of the brains... I'm assuming you can tell me how he's doing, seeing as you're a coyote, and he's actually IN a coyote-tribe: it's his totem animal, you know." She waved a paw, "As long as he's not dead or otherwise impaired I'm sure he can handle himself just as well as me." she thought about that, "Even then, there was that time I got shot in the heart when I wasn't wearing the kevlar, and he STILL managed to bring me back to life with that weird magic overpass thingy..." She shook her head, "Whatever. So, rather than more rambling and character development, let's just cut to it:" She gripped the table with her paws, ready to deal, "What's the game, and what am I gonna do to win? I mean, I'm assuming the game is some long quest, or maybe whether I get off this island alive or something. So far I've done pretty well, so I'd say anything is possible at this point..." She grinned...

At first startled, Harrison looked around realizing the nature of the denizens. When the voice spoke though, he began to look around "What was that?" Jones asked "Who are you? Where are you?" The half-wolf asked, confused. He saw his share of magic as it is, but this one was unknown to him.
