Aerie, her hand still on Seth's arm, leapt out the window, opening it just before they would have impacted it. "WAAAaaaaaa...that was a soft landing." She just grinned and dragged him off towards the nearest dancing crowd, only to be stopped cold by what they saw. Off in the distance, the phallic Rocket base had started erupting, spewing out its contents in bursts of sickly black that crawled like slime on the protrusion's skin to the ground, dissapearing into the forest. Seth and Aerie took one look at each other and nodded. They knew what they had to do. ****** "And the first prize winners...SETH AND AERIE! Let's give them a big hand, folks." The pair bowed, a bit embarrassed. They had not known the dance crowd they joined was actually having a contest. They joined too late to hear the exact criteria, but whatever it was, they had apparently put in a strong enough showing. For a moment, Aerie wondered exactly who was going to clean up the mess at the bottle. With a mental shrug, she tossed off the worry: there were probably crews already on the scene, with a much better idea of what was going on than she. Why should she get involved, when she could just spend time here with Seth? Seth, for his part, cast a worried gaze and light mental probe around for Slasher. The feline should have shown up by now; surely he had not ventured *too* far away... TBC?
