* The halls are pretty well deserted, though when you walk past a training room, you can see a half-dozen people inside. You know you're getting close when you hear the cursing of a referee. "Damn it, it ate half my desk!" * Shiho blinks and looks inside. Anyone I know? * Inside is the head referee along with a slightly lower Referee, who was the ref of your four-fight block in the prelims. * Shiho heads in to question them, then. * HeadRef looks up. "Can I help you?" Yes, I couldn't help overhearing. Did you see a goat come this way? Perhaps munching on various inanimate objects? * HeadRef kicks something behind the remains of his desk and the goat shuffles out. "It's right here. Why?" I was looking for it. With Demeter gone, someone's going to have to take care of it. * LowerRef looks up suspiciously. "You're not going to try frying it, are you? Or otherwise cooking it? That Melosoras fellow was already by here." * Shiho makes a face. "Ugh. No." Well, if you really want to take care of it, you certainly can. We were going to turn it over to animal control. I don't think they'd have been able to contain it. I really don't. * Shiho nods. "Well, it's a friend of mine who wants it. If she can't control it, though, I suppose animal control would be the next best bet." Sounds good to me. If you can get it to follow you, go ahead. * The goat looks hungrily at Rocky. * Rocky hides behind Shiho's neck. * Shiho peers at the goat for a leash or harness, or... something. * There isn't one. * The goat takes a step towards Shiho, still eyeing Rocky. * Shiho takes a step back, hoping the goat follows. * The goat follows. * Shiho heads back to the Demeter's room, then, making sure the goat stays too far away to get at Rocky or her possessions. * The goat follows hungrily. * Outside, you turn a couple of corners, and are slightly startled when you nearly run into the evil looking and sounding samurai guy from yesterday. We Meet Again. * Shiho nods. "So we do." You Travel Alone. You Must Be Confident. You Have The Goat, Also. * Shiho nods again. "Yeah, I'm taking it to a friend." I Shall Accompany You. * SamuraiGuy turns around and moves aside so Shiho may pass. * Shiho nods. "All right." She telepathically instructs Rocky to keep an eye on this guy, though. (While pretending to watch the goat!)
