Late Morning, Day 2 - Part 2

[The party is a bit staggered, so the "@" is roughly in the center of the party; it's also Mephis' current location.]

With the rest of the party get held up somewhat by explaining the slowly decaying corpses of the centaurs, Sarah continues along down the corner, while Mephis follows behind her by a few footsteps.

Suddenly...

[And yes, I've now got that meme out of my system.]

A strange shimmering pulse envelops Mephis as he steps on to a stone in the floor. After a bright flash of light, and a few moments of blindness, the party are confronted with the fact that where Mephis had once been, there is now a small, yellow canary and a pile of Mephis' clothing and equipment.

[Yes, I'm aware it's a bit of a lacklustre TF, but I'm trying to save up my creative energy for tomorrow: as a reminder, I'm going to be online from 4PM to 11PM EDT (1 to 8 PM PDT, 2 to 9 PM MDT, 10PM to 5AM CEST (e.g. Spain), 8AM to 3PM NZST, and if anyone else needs the time for them, then just ask) for a "live" RP session. Note that you all don't need to be on for the whole time, or at all. Just make it if you can, and hopefully we can get some good stuff out of it. I may use some of the time to flesh out character details for the "Day One" story, or to help with some background stuff for interested parties, depending on who turns up when. Anyway, I'm hoping there's some kind of overlap between you guys so you get to enjoy it. If you look on my FA page (user automata, surprise, surprise) then you can get my AIM; IIRC that's the IM service most people already have access to. Anyway, hope to hear from at least a few of you tomorrow!]
