Leon finally tore his way out of the thing and paused, about to turn and try to find Albert again - but then the world seemed to lurch and suddenly he was falling out of the hole he'd made, followed shortly by Albert and Zazz. Leon landed with a WHUMPH on a different mound of cloth. He moved to sit up, and then fell back flat again as something huge narrowly missed hitting his head. He cursed as it passed, and then pushed to his feet. He cast one look to the monster, then started trying to wade away from it. "Fucked if I know. Let's get away from whatever the hell that thing is." If either of them seem to have particular trouble with getting up, he'll move to try to pull them up, somewhat roughly, to their feet before stalking off.

Leon came to a very weird sight - A hillock of cloth turned out to be the lip of a massive funnel! He can see people, weirdly enough, moving down the slope hundreds of feet away. Cloth walls open near Zazz and Albert revealing four weird masked figures! Masked Guy One- "You're not welcome here! You're the poison in the pure!"

Leon wasn't sure what to make of the people - were they even really people? What if they were monsters like Jen and Richie, or... ? He turned abruptly at the sound of a stranger's voice behind him. While clearly a man, the figure's hood almost seemed to emulate the forms of the monsters. Leon growled and advanced on the man, his switchblade clutched tight in his fist. "Wasn't our idea to come here in the first place! That bitch Jen drugged me and dragged the lot of us here. Where the fuck is she?"

"I dunno. Bluejays and big alley rats like me," says Zazz.

Someone behind them yelled "BEEF, NO!" It was a woman's voice, and what's more, it was saying the name of someone you knew from school. Man that guy had a weird nickname. Leon knew the people in the pit must have been some rocker kids, and it sounded like they were in trouble. Guy One- "Don't speak to us, just leave. You know that you can, and bynow must have an idea of how. Leave this sacred place." Guy Two- "There are no rats or jays here for you, weird one." Albert- "What was that noise back there Leon? These dudes are boring."

"Right, these fuckers won't tell us nothing. C'mon you two." Leon waited for the other two to get moving, watching just incase the masked men made any sudden moves. He flipped his knife deftly in his hand. Once Albert and Zazz were moving (preferably at a run), he would turn to follow them down toward the more familiar voices.

"Okay. I'm going. Nobody follow me now, and keep relatively quiet maybe?" Yeah, time to walk away and get some treats. Spend the night in his shed with the gnomes and share candy corn with the squirrels tomorrow. Once he'd torn himself deep into the other direction, Zazz ripped two squares of cloth to plug his ears. Boy was that a strange sound. It was better than human voices anyway. Time to concentrate...

(Does that mean Zazz wills himself into the real world? If so, he's out of the running! He finds himself near a country club, barfing a little chalky junk into his mouth, and is done with this scene! Enjoy your candy! If it just means Zazz goes off by himself, I guess same diff, eventually it wears off and he can go snatch some candy in Suburbia.) Albert follows Leon up the knoll to the lip of the huge funnel, looking back the whole way. The hoodies don't follow. Albert- "Oh Zazz. He's like James Dean. I'd do him." Leon doesn't see anyone at the bottom of the funnel anymore, but would be unsurprised to find some way into a hole down there.

Back in reality Zazz merrily walks down the sidewalk with a large bag of his spoils slung over his shoulder, mortifying all the children as he goes. He begins to whistle "My Life" by Billy Joel.

Leon continued to the edge of the funnel - not long after seeing the group of high-schoolers jump over the edge. He leaned forward carefully, peering down into the darkness below. "You think we should go d--" He was cut off by Albert's comment, and just blinked at him. "... yeah really? James Dean? I don't see it." He eyed Albert a touch strangely a moment, then shook his head. "I'm gonna go down. Maybe those other guys know somethin' we don't, yeah?" Leon paused a moment, offering Albert a somewhat nervous grin as he put his knife back into a pocket. "Hopefully this don't end up with me a splat on this *nice* white cloth, huh? If so, uh, so long." He didn't allow himself anymore than that, before trying to slide in a controlled manner down the tunnel.

Albert- "Wow. You're nuts, man!" Leon and shortly Albert go flying down the tunnel, unable to control the descent! The silk is just to slippery to grip! When they get to the bottom, CRUNCH! Leon's leg is most likely slightly broken. It's definitely worse than before, but not as bad as it could be. Still, fuckin' ouch. Albert helps you up. Albert- "I.. think I hear people..." OK, now you go to the Red Lodge, limping. Don't surprise anyone who has a weapon.

Leon screamed when he hit the bottom, his injured leg buckling under him with a sickening snap. He bit his lip until he tasted blood, trying to stifle the noise. He bit back a whimper as he got up, leaning on Albert, and looked down at his leg. There weren't any bones or anything sticking out of it, thankfully, but damned if he could put any weight on it. "You, uh, you don't mind helpin' me, right? I'm not sure I can walk." Leon's laugh was high and edging on hysteria - not amused at all. "Let's uh, see if we can find those other... the other guys who came down here."

This thread is clear! Enjoy your time in the Red Lodge and keep your voice down! You don't want to interrupt the ceremony.
