Viola gladly hands us all feathers, probably because her ears also hurt from the alarms. They echoed off of the walls of the vents, making them louder than they actually are. We couldn't hear a thing and let Florian and Anise guide the way. We make it around the vents as quietly and quickly as we can before Florian takes out the feathers. And moves his head around, expecting something. I take out mine as Anise does the same thing. No alarm. "I guess they gave up." Anise whispers. "We've been in here for… 17 minutes so far, I bet they think we already left here and are wandering around outside." Viola checks in her mind.
We continue wandering around the vents before seeing into the kitchen, in the kitchen are no soldiers like there probably would be. Just foods and gels. "Look!" Anise squeaks.
She point at a window which looks like a basement for supplies low to the ground by the foods on the counter above. "Maybe we should go down there-
Before she could say anymore a female and male soldier walk in, most likely chefs. I see what I have to do…
"Negative gate!" I yell out at them, they don't know where it came from and take the hit before passing out. We let Viola take off the vent cover and jump out first. She is taking off the uniform of the female guard and puts her in the basement. We are getting down from the vent and look over to the door. Opening and showing 3 more soldiers. Before anyone of them could react Anise hits them all with 3 punches with her doll thing and a dual punishment. They all get knocked out when the little boy does an eclare delarmes. Anise was shocked. "He knows that!? … Does that mean…" She goes off in thought as she takes an outfit of a soldier and puts him in the basement. We eventually all get dressed in the soldier outfits. The little boy is too small so we take a bag of our other clothes and give it to him. Anise and I put our dolls in the bag before thinking about what to do. Viola looks terrified before locking the door to the basement.
"No one will be able to get out of there now." She slumps over, her back to the door. Anise sighs. "Man would it be embarrassing if they came out of there." Florian just smiles and chuckles. "I would be embarrassed if I had to see more people in their skimmies." We all knew what he meant and just gave him a smirk.
We take as many gels as possible and eat as much as we could. "Don't eat too much, we wouldn't want anyone getting sick while fighting." Florian says while slurping up some spaghetti. "Hey…" I said quietly. Everyone turns and looks at me. "What is it Arietta?" Viola asks. "Didn't all of the soldier also have their hair in a certain way?" I put a shrimp in my mouth. Anise jumps up, remembering. "Yeah! They all had it straight or in ponytails…" She whines. "But I like mine in braids… I guess we have to blend in!" She takes out her braids and puts her hair in a ponytail, she gives me the other ribbon and I do the same. Viola says she'll keep hers straight and gobbles up some more cake while Florian takes out his braid. His hair is down to his elbows and it's very wavy. Anise notices me looking at him and smirks, I look over at her and look away blushing. Anise, you idiot…
