[an indeterminate period of time ago (mainly because i am too damn lazy to look it up) your characters may have found themselves in the strangest of places - the minds of other people. There, they could learn all sorts of interesting things about their fellow detainees, such as their horrible love for disco

[. . . Well. It's a good thing Rakan taught him how to swim. Glances around, listening to the voices for a moment before sinking down underneath.]

[There are some animals, large monkeys in one part of the forest and birds in another; they probably seem unnatural and 'off' to your senses. There are also some people - a few bodies, scattered throughout, and one person some ways up the beach. You can probably tell it's Finnick. You might have to go through one of the other sections to reach him, though.]

[smoothcriminal]

[His eyes snap open and he releases Rakan, grabbing his hand instead, holding on, tightly. His voice is low and quiet as he speaks.]

Finnick's here. We're not safe, though, so stay close and don't let go.

[polyculture]

Finnick?

[wading the rest of the way to shore, decisive now]

--if it's not safe, we have to find him too!

[smoothcriminal]

Yes.

[Leads them in Finnick's direction, cautiously. The unnaturalness of this place making him extra wary, more for Rakan's sake than his own.]

[victorgeous]

[The jabberjays are the closest, and as you make it to the sand you might hear a faint, familiar cry. It sounds like someone you care about in pain.]

[polyculture]

Narushige?!

[tugging Chigusa's hand violently as he starts to run]

[smoothcriminal]

Rakan, he's not there--!

[But he's running with him anyway, unwilling to be separated.]

[victorgeous]

[There is a little black bird on a tree branch; it's obviously making the sounds, but they sound completely real.]

[polyculture]

[stops, staring]

How . . . how is it doing that?

[smoothcriminal]

[He just shakes his head.]

[victorgeous]

[The bird will keep going unless you kill it, but at least you can get away from it.]

[smoothcriminal]

[Is really very tempted to do just that, but he tugs on Rakan's hand, starting off again.]

Let's go.

[polyculture]

But what if it's hurt--?

[smoothcriminal]

It's not.

[victorgeous]

[Evil programmed mutant birdie, alas.

There's only one more section until you reach Finnick; it belongs to the monkeys so you might want to run. They're quiet for now.]
