Jocasta & Gate
Jocasta slid her claws out of the crevice she'd just stepped in. She and Gate were both horribly out of their element, but they needed to find who they were looking for. Jocasta shuddered--they were looking for a shady human who was in possession of some pets illegally. Most of the members of her large family seemed to be doing that recently, but this time it was serious. Recently discovered creatures were vanishing from their Zoo Pen and others, and had even been lost in the middle of exploration.
Gate suddenly dragged Jocasta to the left. Dancing on the tips of her claws around glowing fissures, she suddenly looked up to find them standing before a low, long building. It looked like the familiar buildings of home, but it was made of a reddish stone. The door was closed tightly.
Can you open it? asked Gate with a questioning look. Okay, he didn't really talk, but Jocasta could sometimes get the gist of other Glacials' thoughts, through feelings she got.
"I don't know," she replied in a low voice, and together they approached the building.
