I haven't seen a horse in real life. Are they really that big? Blizzard asked.

Hlaoroo wrote:"Well, we've found two now - the one that caught Oreo and this one that nearly squashed Nadia. Surely there can't be many more?" Piper queries as she sets the mouse on the ground.
"Surely this is a long way down for a coyote to come anyway?" queries Flynn, not knowing a thing about coyotes beyond what he's learned from Wile. E.
"I think that hole will need to be enlarged a little more for us to fit through. Oh, the joys of having a large caecum."

"Coyotes can be quite deep digging, Flynn... Oh, thank you my dear," Kilo added, remembering his manners as Piper set him down. He flicked on his torch and shone it into the hole. "If they think it worth their while they'll dig as deep as they need.

Hlaoroo wrote:"None of this wall is structural though. Once we clear the rubble it should be stable, I reckon." argues Piper.

"I should hope so," the old Mouse said, "but I believe young Nadia would be helped by another set of paws and a light." He headed into the new tunnel before stopping and turning around. "A large abdomen, Flynn?" Kilo chuckled, then turned back into the hole. "That is a magnificent machine you have there, young inventor Tesla," his voice said from in the tunnel as he headed Nadiawards.

"Of course they haven't been down here recently I can't hardly smell their marks. Besides I don't think the door we found has been open for years and years since before I was born anyway I mean you saw how big that tree was!"

Cinnamon sniffs again at the wall under the scratches, then deliberately rubs his muzzle against the wall.

"Um, should we be staying after all that has happened?" Elliot inquires, feeling a little uneasy with the idea of being buried alive.

Aron an' Vera's fine! They's still with Mr Flynn and sum ofurs in... um... Mr Flynn's howse!" He listened as Uncle Leroy laid down the mantra of being careful again. "Um, Oreo's invyted me ofur to his howse for a sleepovur. Can I go?" He listened. "Yay! Fanks, unkle Leroy! I'll be good, I promis!" He handed the phone back to Cleo before giggling to Oreo.

So Wat happened, canz you go wif us? Yaaa~!
Cleo looks around, then go up to one of the Vet's.
Is there a cab company in this town? We need a way to get back home..
It seem the animal control guy have taken off..

"Yeh," Leslie giggled, "Unkle Leroy's grate like that!"

"Certainly. Here's the number." Sandy scribbles a number on a post-it note and hands it to Cleo as Paul takes another client out the back after farewelling Cleo.

"Bigger! They come up to here at least." Joan holds a hand near her nose briefly before returning it to the wheel. "And that's just at the shoulders... Er... Withers, I think John calls them. The heads are much higher!"

~~~~
"Oi. You calling me fat?" Flynn grins back.
"Yeah, coyotes can be... enthusiastic to say the least. But like Six said, no one has been down here in ages so we're not in danger from predators. We can go slowly and check for traps and instability as we go anyway. Nadia's been down there for... I don't know how long-"
"Ten minutes." Flynn interjects, glancing at his watch.
"Ten minutes, thank you, and nothing has happened to her. So it ought to be safe enough."

Cinnamon stays back, away from the rubble.

"I'll stay here so I can go for help if you need help I mean I'm not saying you will but I'd be really embarrassed if you needed help and I was stuck in there with you."

I'd rather not go anywhere in these tunnels do to the traps. Hutch remarked.

Woah! Blizzard said.

When Kilo got to the other side, Nadia already held down a paw , waiting for him . But something was seemingly wrong with the fox . Dusty fur aside , her eyes , as in her irises , were bright red and her fur was standing up on ends like an angry feral . But before Kilo could say anything , Nadia already put up a finger in front of her muzzle
"shhhhh" she said

The old mouse had to remind himself that fear, at his age, was an illusion he couldn't be bothered with as he saw the eyes. "I shall ask you to explain," he said in a low voice whilst accepting the hand, "but when we cannot be heard, hmm?" His voice returned to normal volume. "I am through safely, my friends. Nadia is... a little dusty but seems in hale heart."

Nadia nodded , then carried Kilo back away from the hole for a little bit "I guess this is enough ?" she asked

"Of course," Kilo said gently as he waited for the explanation with patience.

Kilo chuckled. "You do look a bit wild and intimidating," he conceded, "but your consideration is admirable, dear Nadia. Incidentally, it is not that I am not somewhat scared but more that I am not one to give into that particular emotion. Now," he added, "I believe there is a short tale to hear, hmm? And I must thank you as well."

Oh I have a question. Can the cat eat Oreo's skunk chow..? Or will i need to get a couple cans of cat food here?

Cleo dials the number an arranged for the cab to come to the clinic..

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 8:11 am

Samantha overhears the question, having been searching in a desk drawer for something or other.
"It should be fine for a night or two but he shouldn't be on it long term. Just so long as your skunk food doesn't have things like garlic or onions or dairy he'll be fine."

"I'll say! When I tried to ride one I got vertigo and nearly fell off! And that was just climbing the stool to get into the saddle." Joan jokes.

~~~~
"It's all right, Six. We need a brave person to be ready to go for help, just in case."
"Can anybody fit through there or do we need to make it wider? Here, lemme try." Piper advances towards the hole, mentally sizing it up and working out where to dig if she gets stuck.

"Don't you want to send one of the predators through first again I mean they're bendier!"

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 8:39 am

"Hmm? Oh," Kilo explained. "It's new, that's all. Everything I do I can compare to something else. The tunnels are like the tunnels Scratch had made under the silo; living in the Flynn house is comparable to the academic house and so on." He gestured to the Vixen. "But you're not something I've ever met before, hmm? And the idea of helping to rescue a predator? All new." He waited a few seconds. "And the explanation?" He grinned.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 8:49 am

"Oh, right. Well, thank you for offering, Six." Piper stands aside and gestures to the hole, smiling sweetly at the marten.

"What me there's like four other predators here and I went through first last time and got all muddy. And it was that foxes fault too!"

"oh , I see I see" Nadia nodded "well anyway , I'm not sure if it's much of an explanation but here goes . You see , creatures in my homeland , we're....a little bit different compare to others of our species who live in the outside world ,you know like how people who live high up on the mountains through generations would adapt to the cold and the thin air better than those who live down here ? It's something like that . Well erm....I'm sorry I can't really tell you much about how my homeland is , so let's just say that it can be quite harsh , and to adapt to it , we needed to change to survive , not through generations , but like that" she said , snapping her finger "And eventually we developed the ability to do so , including me . But well......I was the runt of my litter , and to make it even worse , unlike my siblings , I can't gain full control of that ability for the life of me , so on occasions , it happens randomly , and when it does , I turn into....this . I guess Oreo's blood scent and me *cough*worrying*cough* about him might have had something to do with it triggering now , but ya know.....so , yeah , there you go I guess"

"I see," Kilo mused, rubbing his chin. "Well, don't worry, my dear, your secret is safe with me. But it does add to the things you may wish to tell young Flynn at a good time, hmm?" He looked around. "Shall we wait here to see if they get through or shall we look on?" he gave nadia a grin. "Do you even need me to keep the light on?"

"well , more light in a cave never really a bad thing , should we tell them that we're going ahead though ? I really don't want anyone to get hurt trying to get through that hole to get to us , only for us to go ahead anyway without them knowing"

"Of course, my dear. You may wish to cover your ears. I can't say I'm loud but I am right next to you." After a few seconds he called, loudly and clearly, that they were going to go a little further into the cavern. "We shall be careful," he added.

"Why aren't you coming out, Nadia? Have you found something?"
"Well who's going to go first then? Is someone going to volunteer or shall I go?" Piper queries with her paws on her hips.

"Heh. Thanks, Blizzard! I'm quite looking forward to it! Do you have much experience with kids?"

"See I told you it was dangerous so let's all just wait for her to come out again with the stuff she ... found ... wait a second, what did you find? Let me see?!"

The big weasel bounces over to the hole, then suddenly seems to realize what he's doing. He stands there, dancing from one paw to the next, in an agony of indecision.

A taxi cab is a car and driver you rent out to take you places, when you don't have any method of transportation of your own to use.Cleo answers.

By now Cinnamon's got his pointy muzzle half-way into the hole.
