Now THAT would be cool.... **Moss giggles in reply. She looks over her shoulder, eyes glowing that emerald green. Somewhere, she's glad Socks is afraid of being caught. That means he still believes that maybe one day he can be something, and have a real job. she's given up the idea long ago. Living in a dump really isn't the most inspiring thing. Her irrational side shoves those thoughts away though, and she laughs once more, taking a step forwards.** Noe come on guys! Or are ya scared of adventures?

**Paliki isn't the type of meerkat who just sits around and waits, especially not after having heard Moss' unmistakable laughter.** Wait Mister!! **She leaps out of the chair and bounds after him.** I know who they are!! Its Moss, my sister!! **Looking franticly for Mystery, Paliki shouts** Take me with you! Come back!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Adrien tenses and stays that way, as if stuck in one long wince. He stays that way until Moss and Socks have gone through, and slowly starts to walk towards his impeding doom. Something clearly isn't right about this, but now that Moss and Socks are inside, he has to make sure they're okay.**
**The tom cat squeezes through the opening fairly easily and stands besides Moss.** You okay? **He whispers, too scared to speak any louder.**

**Moss freezes, ear pricked forwards. Her eyes are completely used to the semi-darkness, and she peers into the warehouse.** iki? IKI? PALIKI? **Her voice rises to a shrill level. She could recognize that little squeal anywhere... And what did she mean, "mister"?** Where are you buddy? **She calls into the open, taking a step towards where her keen ears placed the shriek.** Don't move, we're coming! **She nods off-handedly at Adrien, putting out her paw for him to take.** Let's go. **She says, softer. **I wouldn't want her to get any more lost in this maze...

Socks shivers at the dimmly lit warehouse. Where they had entered it was dark, but the faint humming of florescent lightbulbs told him that there were stronger lights most likely further back. He turns around to see adrien come squeezing through the door, and Socks flickers a tongue nervously.
"I don't really like this place...." He hisses, eyes darting elft and right. He stiffens at Iki's calling. Mister seemed to ring in his ears. "Moss there's someone else here!" He whispers, moving closer to his sister as if her maniaticle ways and crazy behavior would protect him.
~*-=-*~
Mystery freezes on spot. Sister? Moss? So these 'intruders' were just like the little talking rat. He sniffed unenthusiasticly. Great. More surprises. Maybe he could appear menicingly and scare htme off. That would be nice. But thena gain; his frightening ninja apperance didn't frighten Paliki. He sighed and slid down to the floor.
Glidding almost silently across the concrete floors, he kept to the shadows as best as he could; working his way back towards talking rat. "Hey... Talking Rat." He whispered from behind the little creature. Leaving the safety of the stacks of boxes and rows of shelves, Mystery entered the light to stand just behind Paliki. He took a deep breath, letting the air from his lungs flow out in a sigh.
"I'm here..."

**Paliki spins around and grins widely as Mystery comes back.** You'll see, she isn't so bad. She just likes to break stuff. **Grabbing his hand, she squeaks.** Come on! This'll be fun!! **Using her other hand to amplify the sound, she yells.** MOSS!! We're coming!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Adrien almost has a heat attack as he hears Paliki's little squeaky voice.** Paliki? **He whispers to himself. Being the kind of person he is, Adrien begins to imagine all the worst things that could have happened to her.... and he's about to start screaming when a little voice (in his head) tells him that Paliki sounded just fine. He hears her again, and, grabbing Moss's hand, gets ready to find that little rascal.**

Hey guys? I think this chain's just about broken... **Viv whispers loudly, fondling the twisted metal and the picnic basket that was only slightly crushed. Upon seeing everyone rushing forward in obvious angst, the fox stops her inspection of the door and follows quickly after Socks, Moss and Adrien.** Who /are/ you?!? **She squeaks as she sees the tall man in the blue turban-like-thing.** And what are you doing to Paliki? **Viv rushes forward and grabs the adorable Meerkat's hand, noticing in some small part of her mind that she is infinitely more scared than Paliki seems.**

Mystery's hood drapped over his 'mummy wrapped' face, hidding his frown. Break things? Yes. This will go great. He looks down at Paliki as she grabs his hand and leads him onwards. With a heavy sigh lodged inside his chest, he slowly followed just behind the little meerkat.
What he sees shocks him. In the dim light that there was, he could see four 'people'. Two of which looked like cats by the way their ears looked, the other was banded like some kind of lizard, maybe snake, and the one that just appeared not only rushed forward to talking Rat, but was lookin' awful like a fox.
He silently tipped his head down to look at Paliki as the fox figure dances over, grabbing the little child. He just blinked. This creature was stunning; Mystery had never known for animal people to actually exist. He slowly turns his head around to the cats and snake, eyes narrowing slightly.
"Paliki's fine." Head and eyes snapped back to the fox as he spat the words harshly.
"Most unlike to condition of my house.. and once I'm through with all of you!" It had been an intent to scare them; and Mystery some what regretted it. Actaully; not really. As he had heard, the chain and lock over his door was beginning to break off now and now the hunt was on to find a new chain somewhere in this place. Most displeasing. He slowly brings his arms up and folds them across his chest, cloak spilling off his shoulders, the hood blackening out his face. And there he stands; patiently waiting for some kind of answer or responce.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Socks falls into silence as he hears his sister's little voice. As the tall figure holding Paliki's hand appears from the dark, the snake stands fixed to the floor. It's as if his legs are rooted to the spot; but as much as Socks hated to admit it, he was scared. An angry lump seemed to form in his throat; one he couldn't get rid of.
Viv bolted ahead to grab Iki, but still Socks just stood and stared. His green gaze flicked over the blue 'ninja', as Socks would put it, trying to pick of anything type of clues he coud see. His curiousity seemed to take over; wondering who this person is. 'Through?! With us?!' Curiousity was gone; and Socks swallowed visibly.

**Moss' face changes rapidly, as she flips through various emotions. The first is relief. Then happiness. Then more happiness. Then, well, with the appearance of this new... thing, her face stops at a recognizable mood- eyes opens wide, and fangs protruding from her smile, Moss is getting what she came here to have. Mystery's threat doesn't bother her. She doesn't stop to think why. He brain is traveling one hundred miles per minute, which really isn't slow enough for her to truly get any conscious thinking done. However, somewhere out of the conscious zone, her brain's kicked up some calculations: if this guy wanted to hurt them Iki wouldn't be here. If things did turn ugly, there are five of them with superhuman-reflexes. And claws. But she's not agnoledging that. What she is listening to is the frenzied squee-ing in her brain, and the rush of adrenaline, as she steps forwards. Human? Creature? Neither? She doesn't care. She's here for the trouble- as she usually is. And of, course, to make the rest of the gang's lives interesting. Heaven knows they don't get enough excitement. So, she steps towards Mystery, her mouth carving into that smile that would make most people cower in a corner. Especially now, with her eyes glowing in the light, and her crazy smile topping it all off, she's inadvertently making herself the picture of insanity. But, all that aside, she stretches her smile a bit more, and asks, in a cheerful voice, which seems to be overflowing with joyful insane laughter, as well as a share of friendship, and happy Moss-ness.**
Hello there! I'm Moss. and who are you?

Mystery stood his ground, but simply stared back at the ever so grinning... cat. His eyes narrowed, but he never moved an inch as she aproached. Was this.. cat thing....mad or something? It looked as if that smilling face might fall off, or over tip the creature on how big it was. He raised a brow, and just watched this.. Moss... walk a little closer.
"Mystery." He introduced simply; if there was any emotion, he hid it well; standing his ground. His arms remained at their folded position, feet shoulder width apart; face bathed in shadows.
"Moss: you might want to see a doctor. You seem a little mentally unstable."

**Paliki grins widely as Moss and company come into view.** Hi everybody! **She squeaks, totally oblivious (as usual) to everyone's discomfort. She ignores Viv's hand, and stays where she is, with her other hand in Mystery's.** This is my new friend. His name is Mystery. And he likes chocolate, just like me! **She looks from face to face as Moss and Mystery seem to have a 'face off'.**
Moss: you might want to see a doctor. You seem a little mentally unstable.
**Paliki doesn't really know what this means.** Mentally unstable? What's that mean? It sounds like fun! Can I be unstable with you, Moss?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Adrien just kinda stands and gapes as Mystery and Paliki emerge from the shadows. He silently listens to the exchange while studying Paliki's face, blinking with his different eyes. She looks okay, but he can't be sure.**
Moss: you might want to see a doctor. You seem a little mentally unstable.
**Adrien winces.** I'm sorry sir, she may seem like, well, the Cheshire Cat at first, but she's just fine mentally. I think. **He bites his lip nervously.**

**Moss' eyes glow with mirth as Mystery, comments, and, right as Adrien and Iki finish their replies, she lets it all out, unable to hold the laughter in. An overwhelming cascade of laughter tumbles out, pitching from hysteria-like hi-pitches "Hee hee hees" to medium "Ha-has". Definitly not the way to prove her sanity. She bends over, catching her, breath. Taking a few ones, she manages to turn the maniacal laughter to a mildly-scary giggling. She blows a kiss towards her boyfriend, still giggling uncontrollably.** Thanks love... **she chuckles, turning to Iki.** Of course Iki! **Looking back up at Mystery, she points to the rest of the gang and, ignoring his reply once again, giggles.** This is Adrien, my boyfriend, viv my friend, and Socks, my brother. I'm sure they're glad to meet you too.

Mystery highly doubted 'Adrien' s view about sanity in his 'girlfriend'. He did spare the tohers a glance. His head turned ever so slightly just to see Socks, Viv, Adrien, Iki, and Moss at the introductions. He raised both eye brows as moss doubles over ina laughing fit.
"Talking rat..." He said while looking down at the little meerkat holding his hand gently. "I can clearly see how you are related." He said rather flatly. Turning his gaze back to Moss, he frowned. "What do you guys want? Why are you here?"

**Paliki begins to jump up and down, still holding on the Mystery's hand.** I know! She's my sister!! An' I LOVE my sister! **Giving Moss a huge smile, the little meerkat manages to catapult herself onto Moss' shoulder, still smiling gleefully.**
**Since she likes to talk so much, she decides that Moss' introduction wasn't good enough, so she goes on.** Adrien's a really good drawer. He drawed me a picture once, and it was pretty. Viv bakes cookies just for me! An' I love her cookies. An' Socks is my brother. He likes to be sneaky and stuff, like a detective.
**Paliki is now convinced that Mystery knows all the essentials about each person, so she stops bouncing and sits on Moss's shoulder, grinning.**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Adrien squirms uncomfortably as the introductions continue. But what really makes him squirm is Mystery's look. He gets the feeling that when this guy isn't happy, no one's happy. But Paliki looks happy, which is a good sign, right?**

Mystery waves a hand dissmissively at Paliki.
"Good to know." He says rather darkly. "But it doesn't answer my question." His gaze seems to intensify, despite it not being able to be seen.
~~~~~~~~~~
Socks seems to shiver under Mystery's gaze, and shifts to stand a little closer to Adrien. This guys was stuffed load of things he didn't know, and was curious to find more about. He was very physicly fit, his stance showing strength; and definitely someone Socks wouldn't want to fight with, even with Sock's strange abilities. Flickering a tongue in though, the snake watches Mystery a little longer before glancing at Moss, then at Adrien. The cat seems to feel his exactly what Socks was thinking. Uneasy.
Holding back a creeped out shiver, Socks looks back at Moss. They were in his place, and Socks' couldn't really think of an answer. He'll leave that up to Moss...

**Moss lets Iki find he balance on top of her shoulders, chuckling fondly. Looking back at Mystery, she crinkles her nose in humorous contemplation. She doesn't like the stranger's face, but hey- he'd cheer up fast enough. Their all quite different- odds are, he's bound to like at least on of them!.** I could ask you the same- **She begins, before cutting herself off.** Wait nevermind you said this was your house.... **She looks around, smiling a bit, her tail twitching. Of course, most people would be horrified. But it's not as if any of the anthro population lives in a place much better then this. And since Moss has spent all her life scrabbling about piles of metal and trash in the dump, she's feeling quite a bit of admiration for this guy's well stocked palace.** Well then, we're here to be here. **She giggles, bringing her eyes back to look at him.** I mean, don't you ever want to see what's in other places? To have an adventure?
