Cassandra: *She frowned as her feeds from multiple cameras went dark.
Being the mall's only doctor they had programmed her to be able to hook up with any and all security camera feeds. So that she could watch for medical emergencies.* A malfunction? How troublesome... *She headed back to the infirmary, last she checked Brutus had been far enough away to safely return.*
Fable: *He finally finished the fish, letting out a huge yawn as he stretched before laying back down.
The combination of all that running around and struggling earlier coupled with his full belly were making him extremely sleepy.*
*I woke up slowly, blinking owlishly as my eyes tried to adjust to the dimness of the room.* Funny....I don't remember turning the light off.
*I got up from the chair and stretched before glancing at the clock.*.......Crud! *snatched my backpack up and rushed towards the door.* Dread you jerk! He was supposed to wake me up as soon as my shift started before he left!
Now I got 38 freaking minutes till 12! *I raced down the hall and into the ladies restroom, slamming the door shut behind me.*

*He searched the controls for any way to speak over an intercom, as he figured there wasn't any he could see just yet.*
???: No matter... Let's make sure I'm not disturbed. *He snickered and went back to the door.
He peeled his fingers beneath the panel through the shadows and worked to reprogram it.
The prize for the game would be the code to the door...though he wanted to see what this game of theirs everyone had been discussing was.
He pulled back, testing the knob a bit before keeping it shut. He moved back to the monitors and flicked back on most of the cameras...but not all.*
???: Go ahead...start... *He snickered, glancing up at the screens past his hat*
-------------------------
Emery: You done? *He moved over to Fable and crouched down besides him, running a hand along the fox's back.*
Emery: Good boy. *He cooed. He froze up when he felt....a presence. He didn't move, his kept his head low and facing Fable as the beast entered the room.
Like an animal that knew he would be crushed otherwise.*
*Lita squeaked lightly as she was picked up into strong arms, her face lighting up when she realized who it was.*
Lita: Papa! Papa! *She buried her face into his chest. He ran his hand over her head, feeling her shaking.
He grumbled lowly, a growl echoing at the back of his throat. To see his daughter so upset....*
Lita: I-I'm alright papa. A-Are you ok? *She forced a smile, her lips quavering terribly.
His brows knotted though he nodded and rested his head against hers.*

Cassandra: Hmm....*A lot of the cameras had been switched back on but there were still enough blind spots to make her a smidge concerned.* I'm going to have to get Gizzie to check the system in the morning.
Dallas: *He looked up at Brutus from his position on the floor with childlike awe.* Whoa.....That's your dad? He's huge!
*He got up and looked at Lita expectantly, a hopeful expression on his face.* Is he gonna play with us too? Then we would have five players! *His tail wagged happily at the thought.*
Fable: *He was shaking pitifully, absolutely terrified of the huge figure. He could probably crush his head with one hand with no more effort than one would with a grape. He stayed as still as possible not wanting to attract the giant's attention to himself, but his shaking was making the tags on his collar jingle lightly.*
*I walked out of the bathroom after I had change into my uniform, I glanced at the clock....11:36* I have 26 minutes before the nightmare begins.....great.
*I walked down the hall in the direction of the snack room....maybe I'll get lucky and there'll be something I could eat left.*

???: Just sit back and wait... *He snickered. Every ten minutes, he switched which cameras were still off between working ones.*

Lita: Y-yeah he's my--- *She cut off a bit as she noticed the look Brutus was giving Dallas then... familiarity.
His lip was slowly beginning to pull back into a snarl. Lita's face went pale.*
Lita: N-No papa! Don't hurt the puppy! He's my friend! *She pulled on his shirt vigorously.
His face fell back into a serious state, he nodded and nuzzled her head again.*
Brutus: *Messily signing: I was worried.*
*Lita's face fell a bit.* Lita: I-I'm alright. *She didn't want to tell him she'd gone outside and worry him further.*
*Brutus peered down at Dallas before stooping down and patting his head roughly, not that he could help it. :,,} *
Emery: It's alright. *He murmured, pulling Fable a bit closer. Damn thing was spooked.
Not that he couldn't feel it himself. He kept his back turned to Brutus the entire time.*

Dallas: *He was a little nervous when Brutus started growling and shrunk a bit, not understanding why he was looking at him like that. He relaxed again when he stopped.*
Dallas: *His head bobbed up and down from the force behind the pat, but smiled and wagged his tail anyway.* Games now?
Fable: *Normally he would have given Emery an earful for the action, but at the moment he was too scared to protest and just remained motionless in his grip. He never took his eyes off a the figure for even a second.*
*I walked right into the snack room, not noticing Brutus until I was through the door. I froze and slowly started to back up the way I came, hoping he hadn't noticed me.*
Dallas: *He noticed me and waved* Hi DD. Did you come to play with us?!

Brutus: *grumbling*
Lita: :T Daddy's too big to hide. *She patted his face with one hand. He wasn't letting her down. :,,,T*
Emery: Yeah no shit. *He murmured beneath his breath, trying to calm Fable down.
He scratched him beneath his neck.*
Emery: Don't worry, the brute isn't going to hurt you------- *He peered up, his eyes locking on DD.
He scowled heavily and went back to coddling Fable.*
*Brutus however noticed, turning his head to face her. Lita made a face, trying desperately to squirm out of his grip. *
Lita: Papa put me down! Come on... *She whined. He grumbled and refused. She puffed her cheeks out at him.*
Lita: I can't play from up here. *She sighed deeply when he signed her.*
Brutus: *Messily signing: I just got you back.*
Lita: Oh alright. Sorry Dallas. We can't play hide and seek but maybe something else?
--------------
*He whistled lowly... Fifteen minutes to midnight...*
???: Off...and on... *He snickered, switching up the cameras*

???: Off...and on... *He snickered, switching up the cameras*
Cassandra: *Her eye twitched as the cameras constantly turned on and off.* No way this is a glitch...
Fable: *He couldn't help but relax a little as Emery scratched his neck, chittering quietly. He yawned and rested his head on Emery's lap.*
Ok......It's almost 12 you guys really shouldn't be here.....I thought you said you were leaving earlier Emery.

Ok......It's almost 12 you guys really shouldn't be here.....I thought you said you were leaving earlier Emery.
*He laughed lightly as he switched all the cameras off before leaving the on ones in the depiction of a smiley face.*
???: Five...minutes... *He sneered*
-------------------------
Emery: Good boy. The brute won't hurt you. *He cooed, scratching his back and neck lightly.
Emery ignored the growl escaping from Brutus's lips.*
*Brutus tilted his head to one side and patted Lita's head lightly*
Brutus: *Messy signing: We should go home, Lita.*
Lita: He says we should go home. *She yawned sharply. It was way past her bed time... She was exhausted.
Brutus patted her head lightly, peering down at Emery.*
Brutus:....
Emery: I tried. It didn't work. Just go already.
Lita: Bye bye Dallas. *Brutus crouched down to let her hug him one more time around the neck.
She rested against her father as he closed his eyes and both of them dissipated.*
*Emery let out a huge sigh of relief. Of course he had no idea what the hell he was going to have to deal with at midnight*
