The afternoon comes and the cats are to make their daring rescue attempt tonight at the building that they investigated earlier. The roof presents a challenge to get to, but they know they can sneak in with the burdens as they come and go. Maybe if they arrive early enough they can go in as trapped cats and assist their escape that way.

[OOC: All volunteers who are going to rescue cats, dogs, and other animals trapped in the horrid building.]

Tiger-Lily

She waits nears the bins at the back of the building where they had agreed to meet. She is probably early, probably because she is nervous.

Sitting down she starts to groom. Always settles her nerves.

Shadow

Beneath the bins, already two-dimensional, the shadow of a cat lurked and waited...

Leaving her Burden safely behind, she showed up to help.

As before the lone guard arrives in the blue conveyance that is loud. He rattles to a stop and gets out slipping a long tube into his belt. He then shuts the door of the car and starts towards the building. Those cats that had scouted know that he will enter using a key and that might be a good time to slip in, unless they are like Shadow and have other tricks to gain entry.

Tiger-Lily

"Shadow, we'll meet you inside. Soot, can you move unseen? Otherwise, just follow me."

If her friend has to stay visible then she will too. Fortunately both of them are small cats.

Shadow

A two-dimensional tongue flicked out and around the impression of a set of claws, all of it darkness within darkness.

"If the Burdens become aware of any of you, I'll try to make good use of the distraction. Try not to be the distraction."

Shadow to shadow, shade to shade, the eponymous cat oozed and glided towards and beneath the agreed entranceway.

Soot moved to follow Tiger-Lily. "I can get to places most wouldn't think even we can, but unseen walking in the manner of Shadow is not mine."

Tiger-Lily

"I have an unseen way of walking different to Shadows but you need to see me to know where to go. So I won't use it unless I have to."

She looks at the burden walking towards the building.

"When he opens the door we need to move fast and slip in behind him, taking cover and waiting util he moves on."

With that she heads closer, staying very quiet and keeping behind the burden so he can't see them.

The burden was quite clueless and the cats are able to scurry into the large building. Inside it smelled worse than it had outside. It smelled of the pungent evil things they put on the floor. It no longer even had a hint of comforting animal smells.

The animals were quiet in their cages. It was as if an evil had come over the room. They knew something was up, and they feared it wasn't good. The smell of fear was palpable in the room.

Tiger-Lily

Her nose is slightly in the air as if trying to distance herself from the floor smell which is most unpleasant. She had forgotten how bad it was.

She waits in shadow staying quiet and still until the burden goes. She is tense though, the atmosphere affecting her, as well as her memory of the time she was in such a place.

She follows Tiger-Lily and flattens herself to the ground. It's not just the smells but there are bad deeds here too.

Shadow

He hated the small of this place, his hackles raised. The problem remained as to how to get their caged kin out of the building, and he still had no real answers to that. He watched the other cats enter from a concealed shadowed vantage, making sure everyone got in.

In a few moments time all the cats who had come to rescue the other animals were inside. The burden headed off deeper into the building. The question of what to do next was now present.

Well they know that the burdens come and go so they have to make the most of the time they have.

"I suggest that we go and talk to the other cats and see if we can find a way to get the cages open. We also need a way out of the building too."

Soot looked around for any open windows or access points high up where burdens might not think cats could go. Her own burden made that mistake many times.

From the earlier scouting. The cats know of some windows that were closed but we're easily accessible via rooms deeper in the building.

In this room there are several burden sized doors and a big door. Also along the top of the room are windows but they are far out of reach. It would take a special cat to get up there never mind opening them.

Shadow

The darkness in the darkness spoke,

"Getting the cages open will take much less than a nap, and those we free can help get the others open. The more cats we have, the more we can do. To the cages."

Soot looked at the windows. Getting there herself could be done, but not so with the others unless they were equally skilled. She mrrred her agreement with what was just said and moved to the cages.

She nods.

"We must succeed. You don't know how awful these places are."

She is determined to try her very best to get these other cats to freedom. Assuming they succeed, there will be other concerns though as the cats will need help on the outside too.

The first cage was the worst. It seemed resistant to their efforts. It refused to allow them any leeway. But finally, the little latch slipped open and they were able to free an old white cat. The cat had seen better days, no longer possessing of a burden, it had been sent to this horrible place. Yet outside of the silver bars, it was able to help, and help it did.

The moments passed. They were undisturbed. Success seemed within their grasp. Freedom echoed as more and more came out of their little cages. Cats, ferrets, snakes, anything that could be a pet, was let loose. Even those mangy things called dogs. They were stupid and only bounced around, not really helping. But they seemed to listen to the cats enough to not actually bark.

They had an army now. The question was, what to do next.

Shadow

Looking out over their army from his umbral vantage, the shadow cat suggested,

"How about we get the dogs to jump at a window until it breaks?"

She looked to see if there was a window she could open that would allow all of them out. Failing that, perhaps one of the doors.

They knew of a window down the hall, but it was inside of a burden room. Though it did have a convenient thing to leap upon to get to the window. In this room the windows were quite high, which would make the nonmagical dogs difficult to use in that manner. But elsewhere in the building, they would be a quite fine foil.

"Perhaps we can distract the burden.. and then use the window in his room?"

She is not sure how to distract him and in such a way that he would go elsewhere. Then she has an idea.

"Burdens go to that small room every few hours. Maybe we can trap him in there or just use the time when he is in there?"
