Dr. Finitevus mumbled something to himself as he picked up a broken chemical vile off the floor and examined it, then marked something down on a notepad. Every so often he made glanced over to the rope he had tethered to one of the room's support beams. The rope had been attached to his servant Dash, who had only minutes earlier entered through a strange portal that had opened in his lab to examine this world 'Mobius' on the other side. His brow arched, noticing the rope had suddenly become... extremely taught. Then after a minute or two, became loose again. Setting his notepad down on the table, after having put it back from Facade turning it over, he walked over to examine it. Giving the rope a nudge with his foot, he wondered just what in the world was going on with Dash on the other side. He gave a slight huff, remembering that droid's earlier comment about the world's dangers, and decided Dash had been in there long enough. The tenrec did have some value after all. "Facade, come help me pull him out," the pangolin said as he grabbed the rope and started reeling it back in.

The chameleon chimera hopped off the wall he had been clinging too and wandered over, gripping the rope not only with his normal arms but his octopus like ones as well. He frowned as he did so, however. Ropes tasted... rope-y. He did not like rope taste. The sooner this was done with the better... And so, he gave the tether one strong tug...

And a female ground squirrel came tumbling out of the portal, rather than the tenrec that had been sent. Her arm had become entangled in the rope (the end of which was uncleanly cut), and unlike most residents of the Chaos universe... she was devoid of any clothing whatsoever -- even shoes or gloves. She pushed herself onto her knees, arguing feverishly with the rope that had ensared her. "WHAT is going on?! What is this place?!"

Now there were few things in the world that could truly get Finitevus flabbergasted. He had always had a knack for keeping his cool, and having seen a lot of strange things, and being quite strange himself, little did there exist that could catch him off guard. Apparently the sight of a naked girl being yanked out of that portal was just one of those few things. "GOOD HEAVENS!" the pangolin shouted. His scales bristling outward, and as he dropped the rope jumped in surprise his glasses fell askew. "You're..." he paused, wincing a bit. "You're very naked."

Facade stared blankly. Apparently, going through the portal changed your gender. And your species. ... or this wasn't Dash. Either way, it was still unexpected.

"Well excuse me for not being able to grab my boots before getting pulled into the sky," Sally grumbled, struggling to maintain a professional air. To say the least, the situation had gone from confusing, to alarming, and now to rather off-putting. Momentarily giving up on the rope around her arm, the ground squirrel rose to her feet. "Now, as I asked before, what IS this place? And how can I get back home?"

The pangolin turned away, looked back, threw his hand up, turned again, then attempted to look back through squinted eyes through his hand as he readjusted his glasses. His face had turned a bright red with embarrassment. "E-excuse me a moment..." He pulled his handkerchief out of hammerspace and attempted to wipe at his nose. Then his eyes widened and he gagged loudly when he realized Facade's ink was still covered all over it. His shook his head and quickly put the soiled piece of cloth away, then turned his back to the squirrel. "W-would you perhaps like a towel before we discuss this matter further?" he looked at the Facade, the only other person in the room at the moment, and made a shooing motion with his hand. "Facade, go... go get towel for our guest... Or better yet a robe..."

Something was wrong- besides the fact that the Docter had just rubbed ink onto his face. But regardless, the mutant simply shrugged and wandered off to do as he was told.

Sally arched an eyebrow. "Are you alright, sir? You don't look so well..." She glanced at the chimera. "And I don't need a towel or robe, but some footwear would be nice. This floor is awfully cold." That taken care of, she quickly closed the gap between herself and Finitevus, placing a hand onto his shoulder. "Really, sir, I think you should sit down..."

The pangolin's scales bristled out again as soon as he was touched. He turned around sharply to brush her hand away, then winced when he accidentally ended up also taking in another eyeful of her current appearance. He slapped a hand over his eyes. Unfortunately, he'd done so harder than he intended to, and so ended up grunting in pain when his metallic palm hit the bridge of his nose. And then... a door nearby opened, and a teal wold poked his head into the room with a rather bored looking expression. "My naked girl senses are tingling." Finitevus grit in teeth. "GET OUT OF HERE, LANCE!" he paused. "And quit saying that repeatedly!" Unfortunately, Lance had now spotted Sally, and swung the door wide open to make sure he was seeing things right. "Whoa," he grinned obnoxiously. "Dude, Doc, I didn't know you were such a player!"

Facade ignored the squirrel when she said she didn't need either a towel or robe. She wasn't the boss around here, and thusly, he had no reason whatsoever to listen to what she said. Instead he slipped past the newly arrived wolf and went to get what was asking of him, gagging when one of his arms brushed a bit too closely to the Lance. Moldy bread taste.

Sally bit her lip with pity as Fini accidentally bopped his own nose. "Wait, you're going to hurt yourself! Just calm down and let me help you!" The ground squirrel placed one hand back on his shoulder, and the other gently on his muzzle. Then the latest visitor walked in. After his exchange with the doctor, Sally turned to the wolf sternly. "Instead of making your ridiculous jokes, you could give me a hand helping this man! He seems to be ill!" With that the princess turned back to the pangolin, then blinked. There was something familiar about that wolf... And Fini had said his name was... Sally whipped around and did a double-take. " Lance?!"

A sudden cry of distress came from across the lab. "MA AAMAAAAA!!!!!" Several vials and beakers broke as the cry sounded. " PIZZA MAN BEING MEEEEEAAAAAN!"

"YOU STUPID AFFRONT AGAINST GOD!" Came a shout following Fluffy's appearance, followed by several laser blasts impacting on the walls outside the lab. A few seconds later a really ticked cyborg fox wolf came in. "You scared him away! I was really wanting that stuffed crust tonight!"
He then spotted the situation. "..Who's the new chick?" He glanced at Lance, "Another sexual harrassment suit?"

Lance's eyes widened a bit when he realized she recognized him. "Okay, whatever you heard about me, I swear it's not true!" Fini, meanwhile, had buried his face into his palm and was just grimacing at this point. "Please just get back and let me compose myself." Of course, that was when he heard Fluffy and Inari. Great. Was everyone in the base going to suddenly decide they needed to visit the lab? He massaged his sore nose and shook his head.

Well, since Fini had asked her to back off anyway... Sally left his side and rushed over to Lance, her eyes wide with surprised as she looked into his face. "But... how... when.... Is this how Dash got deroboticized too?! Oh my gosh, I have to make a copy of the technology!!" The princess absently reached to pluck Nicole from her boot, but quickly recalled she'd been whisked away without boots or computer. The ground squirrel snapped her fingers in frustration. "Darn it!! I'll have to find some other way..."

And the cham-topus returned, bearing robes and towels. As in, multiples of each. With a frown (and a rather dark grey tone of skin), he wandered over to Sally and held out the cloths. He'd only meant to get one robe and one towel, but when he'd gone where they were all kept... his arms got a bit... out of hand. It was always very awkward for him when they did that, and when it happened this time he didn't bother to take the time to pry all the articles from his extra limbs to put them back (and even if he did, they'd probably just yank more things from the shelf as he did so). So. Sally had approximatively four robes and five towels to choose from.

Fluffy had run over to Finitevus in an attempt to avoid Inari's wrath, cowering beside his creator. The chimera stood beside the pangolin, pouting deeply over the loss of his dinner. "Stupid meany pizza man..."

Inari just shot a glare towards Fluffy before turning his gaze back to Sally and muttering quietly, "I thought you were gonna stop recruiting the really whacked out ones..."

Oh Hell yeah, Lance thought. He was basking in the glow of a seriously hot looking naked chick who had her attention on him. He couldn't help but grin, making no illusions about where his eyes trailed as he looked her up and down. After a moment what the squirrel girl was saying finally seemed to sink in. "... Err, say what?" he blinked, then looked around at the others. "Yo, anyone got any idea what this dame's talking about?"

Sally barely heard Lance, let alone noticed Facade's delivery; all thoughts now centered on finding deroboticizer plans. Now that I look around this place, I'm not surprised, she realized, noting all of the machinery and medical equipment. Her gaze fell onto the pangolin slowly gathering his wits. A smile spread across her face. Of course! He's the man that invented it! In her excitement, Sally rushed back over to Dr. Finitevus' side and wrapped her arms around him in a jubilant embrace. "You are a very, very good man! I'm glad I came here now. I just need to use your computer for one second to make a copy of the deroboticizer plans!" Then, planting a kiss onto Fini's cheek, Sally darted off into the depths of the lab, eventually taking a seat in a rather luxious cushy chair and dabbling away at the database.

One of Facade's eyes twitched. REJECTED TOWELS.

Inari finally had enough of this and pushed past Lance to point his arm at Sally, out of the top of his forearm emerged his laser gun. "All right lady, I don't know who you are but you need to step away from that computer now!" He paused as something occured to him, "...unless she has permission?" he asked with an uncertain glance at Finitevus.

Finitevus froze dead in his tracks with a look of pure undiluted shock on his face. If he didn't resemble a pinecone before, he most certainly did now as his scales bristled up as high as the were capable. It took him several moments before the shock of being hugged and kissed by a naked woman wore off and he wiped the river of blood away from his nose. A muscle under his eye had begun to twitch violently, shock quickly boiling into anger over how vulnerable she was making him feel. "GET OFF THAT COMPUTER!" he barked, breaking into a run after her. "... And for Chaos' sake, put some clothes on!" Lance pouted a little in jealousy. " Lucky bastard..."

Princess Sally turned slowly in the cushy swivel chair, her legs delicately crossed and the top one bobbing. "I'm sorry," she replied, ceasing in her typing but still failing to get up. "I guess I got a little excited, heh. You're right; I shouldn't have just jumped onto your computer like that." The ground squirrel squirmed slightly and pulled her legs up into the seat, hugging her knees and rubbing her furry feet with her palms. "As for clothing, I asked your assistant for some footwear, but he didn't come up with any. My feet are getting pretty cold on this metal flooring."

"I'm surrounded by morons..."Inari finally had had it and threw up his hands, retrecting his laser as he did so. He then turned and headed for the room's exit. "When you people are finished thinking with your rods and want to get serious about who the heck she is, I'll be waiting in the interrogation room!"

Facade, by now, had turned a rather dark shade of red and was glaring at the squirrel. She rejected his towels. Finitevus said to bring towels (well, one towel) and robes (... also only one), and that's what he did. AND SHE REJECTED HIS TOWELS. So instead, he just stood there, holding multiple towels and robes, hissing angrily.

Knife took a towel from Facade. "Why is there a naked chick, Finitevus?"

Once again Finitevus found himself slapping a hand over his face, though this time not as hard as he had earlier, and slowly pulled his hand down. "Alright. All of you except for the girl, OUT! "Why do I have to--" OUT!" He grabbed one of the robes from Facade, then let off a huff as soon as the others were gone, and proceeded to kick his shoes off to hand to Sally. "Take them. I prefer being barefoot anyway. And please put this on," he said, handing out the robe as well without trying to look directly at her.
