(All good ^^)
"Well then let's find out." Tanrial muttered, taking out her weapon as she pushed open the door slowly.

(haha yeah I pretty much conked out as soon as I wrote that XDD)
Beyond the door lay the familiar painted halls of the children's living quarters. It was dark here, with only the faint glow of the occasional skylight to show the way. It was very quiet, too, almost as if the children were still peacefully asleep, unaware of the chaos around them.
Mike started walking much more cautiously once they started down the hall, and after a few moment a faint and staticky message jumped into Tanrial's mind.
Let's try to only use telepathy until we figure out where everyone is. I don't like how dark it is down here.

(shakes head. Step up your game man ehe, midnight isn't that late)
Tanrial nodded, glancing around the surrounding darkness, squinting at it as if it would help in anyway.
This place is even creepier when it's dark. How can kids even sleep down here? She took a few steps into the room and almost disappeared into the blackness.

(when I was a kid it was a big deal to stay up to midnight, and nowadays I rarely get to sleep before then lol T.T)
(Also unfortunately I won't have time to be on tonight either–you just caught me before I had to go out. Sorryyyy)
Stay close, Mike replied. This feels like a trap to me. They may not even be here right now….

(Is all good. I’m kinda busy for the next couple days and then schools over so das fun. Seeya soon!)
I’m literally only a few feet in front of you! Tanrial replied, But yeah, if they aren’t here then where would they be?

Maybe Ryker moved them to a different level that's more secure, Mike suggested, pausing to listen carefully. But we should still have a look around just in–
A sudden harsh humming noise interrupted him. The hall's emergency lights flared up, bathing them in a red light. The walls were once again covered in the eerie, nightmarish paintings they'd seen on their first visit here, and the twisted images leered at them from all sides. Rick hissed in surprise and drew back, pulling out a gun.
"Not the gun," Mike said aloud, his voice tight. "We can't hurt the kids if they're still here. Somebody's just trying to scare us, so don't let it get to you."
Rick slowly lowered his weapon and returned it to its holster. "I hope you're right," he muttered.

"Who was the one that showed us the paintings last time?" Tanrial narrowed her eyes at the creepy pictures before looking away, "Was it Eric? I can't remember…"

(oops I'm late sry)
"It was Wren, but anybody could flip the switch for the ultraviolet light or whatever." Mike blinked. "Wait. We need to find Wren. She can help us find the others and convince them that we mean no harm."

"Where would she be?" Tanrial frowned a little, "Could she be in the basement or where Ryker is keeping the other children that haven't been 'born' yet?"

By now they were a little farther down the hall and about to reach a larger open space. Mike shook his head. "I don't–"
He didn't get to finish the sentence, because at that moment a slim figure slipped through the wall behind him and took ahold of his shoulders, jerking him backwards into the solid stone as if it didn't exist. Mike barely had time to look surprised before he disappeared.
Rick cursed and glanced around, but nothing else came to attack them. "What the–Tanrial, you still there?"

“Yeah, yeah I’m here,” Tanrial glanced around the area, frowning, “Where the hell did Mike go?”

"He went right through the danged wall! Somethin' dragged him–" Rick turned so that he and Tanrial were back-to-back, glaring at the darkness. "Shoot. Now what do we do?"

(Sorrrrry, I had my last of school today so the next few days I should have more time to be on)
Tanrial frowned a little, "How can someone pass through a wall? Mike doesn't have any powers so it must be one of Ryker's new projects," Carefully, she led them over to the wall and she ran her hand over the surface, "Definitely a solid wall…"

(No worries! ^^)
The silence was heavy. Rick glanced around wordlessly for another minute, then took a deep breath. "Welp…..I'd say whatever happened, they were tryin' to rattle us. I say we keep goin', try to find some kid to talk to. The sooner they realize we're friendly, the sooner they give us Mike back. What do you think?"

(It's all good, I'm free all day so I'll be here :)
Tanrial nodded, "Yeah, let's keep going. Let's hope we find Wren soon…" They began to move further into the room, still no sign of whatever it was that took Mike in the silence.

In the dim light, they could see very little of what lay ahead, but the room seemed to be deserted. There were several doorways on either side and a hallway going forward. Rick slowly opened the nearest door and peeked in side, then closed it again. "School rooms, I think. Doesn't look like there's anyone here." He glanced around, restlessly rubbing the back of his neck. "I wish we could just find 'em and get this over with. All this sneakin' around in the dark is giving me the creeps."

"It's not that bad," Tanrial said, opening a door of her own only to find it to be another school room or something of the sort, "Yeah, it's kinda creepy but it's just the dark." She shrugged and walked over to a door on the far end of the hallway.

The door was locked. Rick tried to force the handle, with no luck. "Might wanna stand back," he said, backing away. "It's the only way forward so I'm gonna bust it down."

Tanrial frowned a little but nodded, backing away from the door, "Alright, don't hurt yourself though, we don't know what's no the other side…"

"You got it." Rick drew back and kicked the door right next to the handle, sending it crashing open amidst a shower of splinters.
The scene on the other side was one of immediate pandemonium. Several of Ryker's children, including Leila and Roy, had been busy setting up what looked like a trip wire in the hall. When Rick burst through, they simultaneously screamed and made a run for it.
Rick turned to Tanrial. "What do we do? Should we try to catch 'em?"

"Probably a good idea," Tanrial said, quickly making her way through the splintered mess, "Don't hurt them and try not to scare them. Come on." She gave him a look before sprinting down the hall after the two children.
