DG stared at the locked up gates surrounding the city. "By my guess the volcano recently erupted...I can still smell ash around here."
Ivy frowned. "So how do we get in?"
"YOU'RE supposed to be the smart one!" Natsumi snapped. "Why don't YOU figure it out?"

"Haha, you just admitted that she's smarter than you," Tansa said to Natsumi, smirking. But how DO we get in? I hope it doesn't involve more flying...

Natsumi rolled her eyes. "I said supposed to be the smart one. I never said she was smarter than I was."
Ivy slipped off DG's back and ran a hand along the metal of the fence. "Several options...we could cut through the gate, dig under, knock out the guards, get the key some other way, fly over it... you get the idea. Take your pick."
DG shrugged. "Whatever's actually doable I'll try."

"The guards would probably hear us and come out if we cut through the gate. Same thing with digging under," Tansa said. "And I'm not flying unless I can be a Letala and NOT carry Fishy." She wondered why they couldn't just climb over.

"Then just climb over," DG laughed. "I can shift to a mousaokit and just slip through...but I'd have to carry Ivy and Sumi over so I guess that's not the best idea."
Natsumi snorted. "Then I'll climb over myself. I'm sure not even Ivy here is that weak that she can't get over."

"Can't you fly and take one of them at a time?" Tansa asked DG. She shifted to Letala and made her way over before changing back.

DG shrugged. "Yeah I guess." He shifted to a windroc and let Sumi get on his back, flying her over the top of the fence and waiting for her to get off. He then flew back over, got Ivy, and landed again. He let her get off his back and shifted back to wildcat. "Tah dah, done."
Natsumi looked around. "This place is a dump."
Your face is a dump. Ivy giggled in her mind. "Yeah..." she agreed.

"Quiet, Fishy. We don't want to wake anyone up. Now which way do we go from here?"

DG looked around. "Well...up into the crater I suppose. We need to get to where the lava is, right? That's what the legend said."
Ivy nodded in confirmation. "Up to the top, inside, then we're on our own from there."
Joy...nobody knows where they're going. I could always still just toss Ivy into the lava. The shifters are too big to move. Natsumi thought.

"I've never been here before so someone else better figure it out and lead the way..."

DG nodded. "It's pretty much straight up...but we can't fly. We can't risk drawing that much attention to ourselves."
"How the heck won't two wildcats, a saikana, and ....an Ivy...whatever she is...draw attention in a place populated by Roca?" Sumi snapped.
"Who cares? We don't have the time to argue." Ivy muttered.

"So we're going to spend an hour walking up the volcano and all that time we waste will be time that someone could see us on our way there. I'm surprised the dogs haven't found us yet..."

"They will..." DG frowned. His ear suddenly twitched in the direction of Ivy. "Did your stomach growl?"
She blushed slightly. "Sorry...I guess I'm hungry, thirsty too. We haven't eaten or had any good amount to drink since we got into the desert."
"Before then for me." Natsumi nodded.

"Well you'll have to wait because we can't just walk in the shop in the middle of the night. Even during day... Shifters aren't welcome, I'm sure, and they'll know something's up if they see a Fish wandering the desert."

"What about me? I look like a traveler... or just a person out to study. I could get some food." Ivy suggested.
Natsumi nodded. "Not a bad idea...as long as I get something to freaking eat before I keel over."
"We wish you would." DG laughed, moving out of the way of a well-aimed kick to his head.
