[Fin] The Murder-Free Hotel
#51
It probably has something in it that hydrogen bonds with water in a different way if you're doused in it, yeah. A protein coat with polar amino acids that... Of course, since we're already mostly water... you know what, I'm not going to overthink it.

Ruby was too embarassed to admit she'd been one of the people turned into cats.

Holly is walking around outside; she'd been checking some chemical balances and stuff by the pool to make sure that it was still safe after beig filled with cats and former cat-people.
Stupid doomed timeline...

[Suddenly, a portal opens up and pops out a young-looking vampire girl with crystals all over her wings and holding a weird staff.]

Where... Am I... This isn't the basement...
I don't understand any of this... I'm in a world of complete insanity...

Derana also walks around outside, seeing the others. "Oh hey.... what are you doing?"

Ruby waves. Oh, hey, Holly! Derana. This is... Medic. We're trying to catch one of those cats to see if we can understand that virus.

This isn't Gensokyo... Where am I? And who are you?

#57
Ah. I'm glad I managed to avoid that. All I know is that the cats haven't caused much change in the pool water. I can help with the analysis, if you'll have me.

Holly offers a slight smile, so it should be apparent she's excited by the prospect of SCIENCE.

Meanwhile, a wild KENNIFER appears! Near wherever Flandre is.

Oh, someone new. And no, this isn't Gensokyo. I don't think, anyway. Never been there. Anyway, hi. Name's Kennifer.

"Oh, those cats that turned me into a... well, a less humanoid cat? Thought those were all gone now, though?"

Oh, um... Hi... Kennifer... My name's... Flandre Scarlet... I don't know where I am...

Admittedly, we're not having any luck finding any of the cats. I put some leftover chicken out for them but they haven't shown up. We want to analyze the virus, but first we have to get a specimen.

Hmm... Perhaps some catnip might help lure one of them out? Holly ponders for a moment.

--

I think it's called the Murder-Free Hotel. And yeah, I know it's a weird name.

Kennifer shrugs.

Don't ask me what that's supposed to mean. My memory's a bit... off, sometimes.

Outside (Landing Pad)
"... and your host is adamant about preventing information from escaping," Y'shtola says.

Sylvi pans the window up and down, as if nodding. Through what amounted to a long and overly complicated game of 20 questions, she had somehow managed to convey to Y'shtola and G'raha the core details of what the hell ass balls was going on here.

"Well, clearly information is already escaping," G'raha points out. "The chocobo's rather out of the stable at this point. Would this 'pink smoke' allow you to turn your window into a door?"

Sylvi pauses. Yes, but... there's a high chance of it being one-way. Cut's siblings could get here, but not back. Then again, people have already left when the host wasn't looking. Maybe... She "nods" the window.

"Well, then, let's not waste time," Y'shtola says. "We've been putting in all this effort to find you. No reason not to, what was the phrase, 'throw wide the gates'?"

"Yes, yes, that is what I said," G'raha responds.

Sylvi takes a deep breath and channels the pink smoke again...

A hotel... Not quite a mansion... But okay... Thank you...

Flandre goes inside the hotel to explore the area.

"Do ve know anyone who can find some catnip? Maybe zat strange cat-girl near vhere I came in could...?"
#65
Yeah, it's... Actually pretty nice here, plenty to drink at least.

Kennifer grins a bit, following.

Minrey rolls in. No fancy intro needed.

Oooh! A new place! It... looks kinda like the old one. But yay! New place!

I refuse to be polite or heterosexual

"Nope, no idea" Derana says.

"No clue... oh, hey!" Meito greets the newcomer.

After finishing his cooking, Michael heads to the others. "Oh, heya, everyone. Just so you know, I cook a lil' something for you all."

"Oh, that sounds great!" Meito says. "Was getting kinda hungry!"

At that moment, a faint yet loud voice could be heard saying: "STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM!! I'LL KILL YOU NEXT TIME YOU EVEN THINK OF DOING SO, GOT IT?!?!" Which was followed by Moon walking in, saying: "He doesn't mean that literally. Trust me, I know. And I was just trying to get Angel out of there, who wound up in there after drinking a bit too much."

Landing Pad
Without warning, the door bursts open. At the same time, Sylvi staggers and drops to her knees, winded.

Two Miqo'te rush out; a man with red hair and eyes carrying a staff of crystal, and a woman with white hair and cloudy eyes carrying what looks like a witch's staff.

As they rush to Sylvi's aid, the door slams shut behind them and disintegrates into pink smoke.

I don't think I'll be letting any more of that slide. Strictly one-way summonings, in future.

"...I don't sink zere are any cats around here. Call zis test.... inconclusive."

Ruby sighs. You're probably right. Any other ideas how to get a sample of the virus?

"Hey asswipes - This yours?" The foul-mouthed explosion-boy said walking in, holding up a cat.
