OOC: Hmmm... This'll be a little tricky to fit into the timeline, but since I never moved Sefon away from the bathrooms, or Groll or Frod away from the grinding area, I guess I'll just work with them from there.
IC:
Sefon, walking slowly towards Dek's lab to report that they'd been unable to find Dionysia, swayed as a huge noise came from the floor above. (
Post #783)
He staggered for a bit, wishing for once that his hearing wasn't normally so good. Eventually recovering, he ran for the nearby stairs and rushed up them, turning to see a slig he didn't recognize (Gappiqu) talking quietly to the black mudokon he'd been sent to look for, and an unconscious native mudokon on the ground.
Then he heard what Dionysia said, and walking closer to them said, "Hey, what's going on here?"

Frod had left the grinding area with everyone else and was now on his way to the R+R room. He stepped in softly, looking around, and promptly selected a bed. Unslinging his bag from his shoulder and laying it down on his bed, he hopped in and was soon asleep...

Groll had also left the grinding area straight away, but he didn't feel like sleeping yet. He made his way out to the stockyards and started wandering casually around. He walked for some time, then suddenly thought he heard something...
He stopped and looked around, instinctively raising his rifle. Was one of the animals free? He listened carefully, no, it sounded more like slow breathing, as if someone was asleep nearby.
He started walking slowly around, pointing his rifle here and there. Why would someone be sleeping out here? The only reasons he could think of were that it was an intruder or someone up to mischeif or possibly trying to escape.
Then he saw her... The mudokon, Anni, curled up asleep on the ground.
He walked slowly towards her and stopped about a metre away, looking down at her and pondering what to do...
