After hearing the phone ring Yrank flinched. "Shoe my boy? I thought you were back at camp! Don't tell me you followed through that blasted portal and I simply missed it."

 

Shoe giggled creepily for the third time.

"Maybe. You sure?"

"I'm up for anything," Aero said while scooping the hemalurgic guinea pig into his satchel.

"Yes," said Nogard, less certainty in his voice.

Yrank took a few seconds turning around. Once facing Shoe, he asked, "You okay kid?"

Shoe stared into the distance.

[The H]

Yrank hobbled over and started shaking Shoe.

"Snap out of it, kid! What's gotten into you?"

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Meanwhile, back at camp, Jilu was searching for cloves, as if she could find them in a grass less place. She also kept a tight watch.

The Once-Author opens another portal into the factory. "If you want."

Shoe slapped his hands away.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Nogard waved at Yrank. "I guess we'll meet you there."

Then he stepped through the portal.

[Immortal Platypus]

Before anyone else followed him through the portal, a wave of... giant hamsters? Yes, giant hamsters rushed towards them. If one looked carefully, they could see small, normal-hamster-sized metal spikes poking out of them. The hamsters blocked off the portal, and surrounded the group, growling. It probably would've been cute if they were small, but on hamsters the size of medium-large dogs, it was terrifying. 

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Jilu stared at the crumbs of the Muffin she had had given to Yrank... then popped them in her mouth. "Yum."

It took a few minutes for her to stop writhing.

"Uh," said Nogard. "Hamsters."

Shoe was already running in the other direction.

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Jilu sat up, the writhing stopped. "Should they be back by now?" A pause, "Nah."

Nogard attempted to flee as well.

[ʟɪɢʜʈ]

However is shape shifting efforts were in vain, and instead of becoming a flea, he just stood there.

[The H]

With the stampede of Hemaurgically spiked hamsters running around, Yrank tried to run away. As he was hobbling with his crutches, the hamsters stampeded (is that a word?) over the ground next to him, breaking one of his crutches.

"A little help here if you wouldn't mind!" Yrank shouted to whoever could hear.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Nogard did his best to support the old man, but that made him half as quick. Fortunately, the hamsters seemed to have lost whatever directive they had been following and were now running around trampling everything.

"Quickly!" gasped Nogard. "Portal us back!"

The hamsters were running around the group, slowly encircling. If one looked at it from above, it would resemble a large, brown whirlpool. Their seemingly random direction was contracting, constricting the group and keeping them away from the OA's portal.

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Jilu tossed a rock up into the air, catching it again. "This is kind of boring. I think I'll go see what going on with them."

Jilu stepped off in the direction of the Factory.

The Once Author opened a new portal beneath them, dropping them into a gigantic white, empty, infinite expanse.

 

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Jilu instantly became bored, and fell asleep on the ground.

Aero walked up to the hamsters, clutching his hemalurgic guinea pig close to his chest. "Hmmm I don't know enough about hamsters but they like seeds and worms, does anyone have huge mealworms or something on them?"

Shoe fell through the portal.
