New Pork City

[pullsneedles]

With a great KSSSSSSSSH! the limo lands at the entrance of Master Porky's neon haven, New Pork City. The streets are lined with lively distractions and familiar faces, the people of Tazmily bustling about at the cinema or the arcade.

Boney nudges his owner's hand with his nose, giving him a comforting lick. Kumatora puts a hand near her eyes, scanning the area. Duster fiddles with a wall staple, itching to move but wanting to stay still.

Lucas soaks it all in, frowning faintly.

Where to?

"Huh."

Come to think of it, that boy's overall appearance is sort of familiar to Enzo, too.

Probably not the best thing to mention right now, though.

"I think it's suspicious," Dinah says to Autor. But it's an opinion that stretches to the 'movie,' too.

"What is this?"

Re: The Cinema

[pullsneedles]

"Wish I knew," Lucas says. Beyond coincidence, he hasn't a clue.

Boney barks and paws at a seat, hopping back when something jumps out from underneath. The huge stinkbug hops off around the theater and Boney gives chase.

At the barking and the abrupt movement, Enzo pulls his stun-rod out of his pocket... but it looks like it's just an insect.

Autor follows suit, placing his left foot in front of him to support his weight. Relaxing his shoulders, he clenches his fists lightly, near his cheeks.

"I... don't like this place," he murmurs, tucking his chin in.

"My sister would not run a theatre like this."

Re: The Cinema

"Boney!"

Dinah calls softly to the dog, and on not getting a response she vaults a couple of seats to cut off him and the insect.

Too much experience in the Justice League has destroyed her ability to think of something that big as just an insect.

The stinkbug skitters on by, ducking in a nearby speaker. Boney scratches and whines at it, eventually breaking in.

Whatever the bad smell is, breaking the speaker makes it worse.

"Boney, where're you going?" Lucas calls.

But it's too late. Boney bolts in, leaving a hole big enough for a dog but too small for any of the present company.

"Boney! Spam. What'd he find, a utility tunnel?"

Re: The Cinema

[pullsneedles]

Duster limps over and carefully takes a knee.

"Looks like he found the sewer," the thief answers, covering his nose as he looks.

"That'd explain the smell," Kumatora complains.

Duster nods, heaving himself up again. "But how do we get to him now? We can't fit in there."

Lucas steps closer to the wall, listening for his dog.

Re: The Cinema

[a1enzo]

Enzo examines the hole to see whether it can easily be made bigger.

Re: The Cinema

[herr_bookman]

"We could blow it open," Autor volunteers, holding his handkerchief to his nose. "But there's no guarantee that the tunnel is any bigger."

Re: The Cinema

[pullsneedles]

"There's gotta be a way inside, right?" Lucas asks. "I can hear Boney moving inside."

He follows along the wall, Duster and Kumatora coming to follow.

"Let's go out an' look. An' I can keep track a'Boney."

Re: The Cinema

[herr_bookman]

Autor nods and plans to fall back into formation between Dinah and Enzo. He has a sneaking suspicion he's really not going to enjoy following after the dog.

Re: The Cinema

Dinah stays by the hole Boney disappeared into, crouching by the hole until everyone's starts moving, when she follows them from behind, giving one final look around the theater.
