ooc: If Dripik doesn't post soon I'll be tepted to suggest moving on past him, like saying if he doesn't post by the week, have Gappiqu's dive-bomb knock out RG or whatever. I'm just getting tired of waiting.
Sorry about keeping you wating, Zerox.

Anni shrugged, "I haven't been outside in a long time, but there are a lot of animals living in the stockyards and the factory. I guess no one cleared out the animals from here when Abe shut the factory down, so they all escaped and started living in the ruins. I guess when Arnie took over there were too many animals about to get rid of them all."
Jim suddenly had a thought, "But people were saying meeches were extinct before Rupture Farms was shut down. So why didn't anyone ever find you?"

Dionysia woke up miserably. She lay on her back in the bed for a while, trying to direct her thoughts away from Krik's tests but found her mind focussing on the pain of it. She quickly tried to move away from the thought and remembered her injury the day before, her bleeding, and... It suddenly occured to her to remember that the clothes she was wearing weren't her own, but some she had found in the R+R when she was washing her own. She tried to remember what had happened to her own clothes, but with everything that happened, those muds appearing from that passage and Stivik's appearance, she couldn't remember what she'd done with them. She made up her mind to check for them in the bathroom as soon as she felt she had the energy.
Another thought occured to her about that girl, Anni, sneaking around and causing trouble for Stivik. She'd never done anything about that. But she miserably thought that with Stivik gone there was no one to talk about it, nothing for the girl to overhear. Only she and Krik knew her secret, and certainly they would never mention it, even to each other.
In the end it was hunger that forced her out of bed. She stumbled out of the R+R in search of her abandoned clothes.
