Red Hallway
The hallway connects to the dining room. Different doors sprout out in different directions. Some are just closets, but others lead to more interesting locations. There's a bend near the end of the hall, leading to the dorms.
Seven Stones: "...So I didn't get a chance to help her," Seven Stones explains. "She really, really wanted to be alone...but I told her we all wished her well, and let her be."
Ivan: "Man, that sucks," Ivan responded, skipping along. "I don't hate her, if she even thinks that. Like, who treats an animal like those assholes we saw did!? No way any of that was her fault."
Arsenic: "...I mean, she still did it."
Stranger: "Arsenic, please. It's true that she did awful things...but she was forced to. She had no other choice."
Arsenic: "...I guess."
She gives a deep exhale as the small group walks down the hall, talking and talking...until she pauses.
A noise. Like a rattling in the walls.
"...Do you guys hear that?"
Seven Stones: "...Eh? Yeah, I do, kind of..."
Ivan: "Is there a rat in the vents???"
He looks around wildly, only to see the bigass vent in the side of the wall rumbling and shaking a bit. It's hard to see with how dark the vent is, though...
???: "I'm not a rat."
Stranger: "Huh!?" Stranger walks over, bending downwards at the vent. "Hey! Who's in there?"
Stranger: It takes a second, but the vent eventually pops open aaaaand...
Dax: Pop!
A Dax appears!
Dax: "Hmmm....seems like someone found out about my tricks. My devious tricks. My... kitty tricks."
Stranger: He raises a brow. "...Your what?"
Dax: "Follow me, and you will see."
They pop back into the vents, and begin rattling away.
Ivan: "Hey!! I want to vent! Lemme in!"
Stranger: "I don't think that-"
Ivan: But it was too late. Ivan was already sticking his fat ass into the vents, crawling off.
Seven Stones: And for some reason, Seven Stones felt compelled to follow...curiosity's sake, perhaps, or just out of boredom. He, too, went into the vents, his six stones he constantly floated around acting as a comet trail behind him.
Arsenic: "...Do we follow them?"
Stranger: Siiiiigh.
"At this rate, why not? I at least want to see what Dax is talking about."
Arsenic: "...Welp. Alright then."
She shrugs, and heads into the vents as well...
Stranger: With Stranger following behind...and almost getting stuck because his thighs are too thick, but he eventually squeezes through.
