At that point, the Persian had screamed her throat dry and had passed out from the pain. At the base of her tail, where her tail hung limply, was a bruise.

She had no words for Watt in her unconscious state.

Napoleon sighed, guess he didn't really have any other choice, well at least none that he could think of. The frown on the mienfoos face did not go unnoticed by the druddigon "how about ripping out some paper on a book you no longer need…like an atlas perhaps, you don't seem to need to know how to get to places outside the mansion." He checked the books and wondered if for some reason they left a bit of paper hanging out.

"That is a viable idea, sir." And, though there was hesitation in his movements, Yang briskly walked to the geography section. He began to search for the oldest and most faded atlus that they had.

Once he was satisfied with his choice (though his heart was mourning for the aged knowledge that would soon come to ruin), he carefully opened the near-ancient tome. The pages were not simply yellow with age, but starting to curl in the corners, and had an awful musty smell. For where there was no dust in the library (the Mienfoo had seen to it personally), there was an inevitability with mositure in the very air they breathed in and out.

Using extreme caution, Yang began to tear the publication page out from the front of the book. One side faced the title page, and the other the back of the paper-front-cover. It was mostly blank, as copyright pages are, and the ink itself minutely legible.

"It is better this way," he murmured more to himself than to the esteemed Druddigon guest.

Well hopefully the mienfoo isn't going to be extremely torn apart from ripping apart an old useless, at least to them, book. Now where did he say the charcoal was? The storage room, right…where was that again? "Hey, do you know where the storage room is?" Having to ask that question embarrassed him a bit.

"Why of course. It is near the servants' quarters though, so I shall retrieve it for you, sir." With a quick bow, he headed off to do just that, leaving the library and slipping into one of the servants' paths (they were kept secret, naturally) and continued on his way.

He returned in about a quarter of the hour. Finding a large enough piece of quality charcoal took a fair amount of time. There would be no half-way measures here, no sir! Offering the piece to Napoleon, he attempted a smile. "The charcoal, sir."

"Thank you" he said wondering why it took so long to get a piece. He had gotten bored enough to start reading one of the books, which he then put back to where he found it…at least near where he found it. He took the tablet and placed it on a flat surface…now what? He didn't really think this trough, since he never really darkened anything before.

"Hey Cell, do you think he's really going to try?"
He said shortly after he saw the Rotom leave. Kya was thinking of a more elaborate plan than just going there and pulling the persian up. How was he supposed to do it anyway? A normal persian could be around two or three times his size..
The Umbreon stopped cutting the bedsheets and went towards the door

Yang watched the Druddigon for but a moment, and then returned to his own task. The books wouldn't very well re-shelve and organize themselves, after all. After putting back the book that Napoleon had taken out, he went on to do the rest. He did not take note of the hesitation of the guest.



"Guess so. That guy doesn't really think far ahead, yanno. Like real people." Cell was about to tie another knot when he saw K-something move. "Hey, where you going? S'not like you can stop him K."

Kya was about to leave the room and follow Watt, but the Lucario was right.
"Yeah, probably useless" he said hesitating.
The Umbreon went back towards the place the other bed sheets were in and kept cutting them.
"How long do you think this will have to be?" After several minutes of cutting, he was getting really bored

He looked at the tablet for a good thirty seconds before sighing, this wasn't going to get him anywhere. He started to check the books, maybe one of them had the information he needed. He checked them one by one hoping that maybe he could find the information that he needed, he was a bit to...embarrassed? prideful? well for whatever the reason, he didn't want to ask the mienfoo on how to do said darkening.

"What, it's not like he can do any real damage." Cell smirked just for a few seconds before turning his attention to the unfinished rope-ladder. "'Til we get a good length. Then we go to the pit where you were at, see if it's long enough, and mount a rescue if it is. If it isn't, we just come back up here and keep working on it."












There was no book specifically on the arts of darkening the inscriptions of tablets. Though there were a small collection of "Do It Yourself" crafts-books in an unsorted pile by Yang's ladder. One such craft was to make patterns out of putting paper on top of a physical object and rubbing over it with crayon (or whatever material that the crafter had on hand).

welp, that was rather simple...now he felt stupid, great. He took the paper and placed it on top of the tablet, yet again he hoped that Yang didn't mind him doing this with one of their books. He took the charcoal and started to rub it on the paper softly, he was too scared that it might break or something to do it any rougher...at least for now.

"Yeah" he said, what could the Rotom do?? Kya cut another sheet making a long unpleasant noise.
He wanted to ask how where they supposed to know when the rope was long enough, but he was sure Cell wasn't going to answer with a smile.

The quality charcoal began to 'rub in' and leave slight indentations in the aged ex-atlas paper. Slowly but surely, the inscription became much more clearer on the page.

The message read as such:
"There are as many exits as there are entrances.
There are no true paths but the ones that are made.
Seeing is not believing, walls are enchanted.
Risk reaps reward, caution a grave with a spade.

Find the orb."




He kept on working silently, tying each sheet as tightly and securely as he knew how. Cell wasn't all that patient though, and started to rush his self-given task at knotting. Every few sheets, he would 'forget' to double-knot the rope.

If he tugged on it and it didn't fall apart, it meant the whole thing was secure, didn't it?

[[gaah, why is this dying?]]

That's quite…interesting, a riddle or some kind of poetry, he wondered who wrote the thing. He read trough it multiple times "exits…entrances…true paths…made…seeing…walls" he was mumbling the words out loud quietly, he checked on yang to see if he was curious about it as well, he was beginning to think that maybe they had to make some sort of hole in the wall. "Find the orb…" he wondered why they would need an orb that badly, well whatever it meant, he would need to show this to the others.

((Mainly cause we were waiting for arc 3? ))
Kya kept cutting the sheets for a while, but he grew tired and his paw was starting to hurt. He didn't really use them a lot.
"Hey, don't you think this is enough?"

((A bit. I was waiting for you guys to post, since double-posting isn't allowed in the forums, last I checked |'D))



"Is something the matter, sir?" Having finished his current pile of books, Yang had once again turned his attention to the guest again. He hadn't heard what Napoleon was mumbling, but he did look to be in rather deep thought.



Cell looked up, "Eh. Close enough." The rope was getting pretty long, about ten or so feet if it was measured.

"You can't use your paws to help here, can you?" He gestured to the still untied pieces of bedsheets.

"Eh.. I guess I can try.."
He never really tried to do anything like that, probably for a good reason.
Kya grabbed one of the already cut bedsheets and tried to tie it to the other one, after struggling for a couple minutes he realized it might be harder than expected.

Keeping at it, the Lucario got to another twp sheets before realizing he didn't hear the tearing sound of the fabrics anymore. Lifting his head, he looked for the Umbreon named K--something.

Man he really took things literally didn't he?

"So...how's that working out for you?" He smirked, trying to not laugh. How would paws like that be able to tie anything?

He looked up to the Lucario and went back to the sheets. Then he muttered in an almost incomprehensible voice.
"Shut up.. its obviously easier for you... aghh"
He was sure Cell was about to laugh, he felt so pathetic, struggling with bedsheets...
