Chasehisses furiously as the mysterious figure vanishes into thin air, but she quickly turns to examine her twin closely. With her claws now retracted, the orange Tabaxi holds the pink one’s face and asks, "You okay? There was a woman with a mask shaped like the moon, and she touched your chest. I don’t like this! And, uhmmm, are you shorter now? I mean, I've always known I was the taller", she jokes, but then muses"...but not that taller."Chaseextends her paw, placing it on Scratch’s forehead, squinting as she measures the difference in height.
Noticing that Lexhas darted to grab the wings in the bin, she pays close attention in case he needs help. Scratch and her are standing in the middle of the thoroughfare without any wings on. Chasehesitates. Should the twins put the wings on and rush next to Lex? Or should they return to hide with Isyand Illuwen?
Lex digs through the bin and pulls out the wings along with a bunch of materials to potentially repair the wings and make them passable. After getting a good look at the wings and the materials he realizes that there just might be enough material here to repair the wings and build another set of wings! [I will need another INT check from Lex]
Lex pieces everything together but could only manage to put together one set of wings.
The fallen patrons begin rising back to their feet and stumble away, continuing with their day in the carnival. As the traffic continues, the lot of you notice a young girl looking around with a confused look and teary eyes.
Scratch is both confused and elated, but remembering their situation, he motions toward the boardwalk. "Let's get back under." He holds up the wings. "I got these!" He ducks under the boardwalk, followed closely by Chase and Lex. Seeing Lex with his own set of wings, Scratch hands one of the pairs of wings to Chase and whispers, "Tie these on Isy. I'll put these on Illuwen." He carefully but hurriedly ties the wings around the little green girl's neck. He watches Lex repair the third pair, smiling. "That's great, Lex," he says. Looking around at the three younger kids, he says, "OK, you three should go home. Chase and I will get more wings and then Chandler. If you don't want to go all the way home, just leave the carnival and wait for us at our favorite spot. We'll get there as soon as we can."
"No. We go together or not at all."Isy replies. "I can't just leave you here with the guards and spooky people. If nothing else, the people with wings can be a distraction to make them come look some where while the ones without hide." She pulls out her signal whistle and tries to wave you off.
Lex ties on the wings that he reassembled, looking around. "Let's let the people with wings look for more wings. We won't get in trouble now, right?" He spies the little girl standing out in the open. "Wait, is that someone else lost?"
Chaseis still worried after everything that's happened, but she also feels a little better now that most of them have wings. After tying Illuwen's wings, she notices Lex's eyes drifting toward the little girl crying nearby. "Let’s call her!"she says, waving toward the girl to catch her attention, then beckons her to come closer.
Isy, now wearing wings, hurries out to her and asks her, "What's your name? You looks sad. Why are you sad? Do you want to come have fun with us?" If she gets a positive response she will grab her arm and haul her towards the rest of the group.
As Isycrosses the thoroughfare Scratch notices in the crowd a small frog like creature. Isypasses right by it as it reaches out it's hand and... [I need a d20 and a d10 from Isy]
Once across the thoroughfare, Isybegins talking to the little girl. She responds, "My name is Belinda *sniffle*. I can't find my daddy *sob*. He told me if I get lost to stay where I am and someone would find me and take me to the Lost and Found. He said if he couldn't find me that he would meet me there."
Scratch narrows his pink eyes at the frog-like creature, and when it reaches out toward Isy, his face opens up in alarm and then anger. "No!" he yells. "She has wings! She has wings!" His anger quickly turns into fear. He looks at Chase. "We've got to get out of here. Not even the wings can keep us safe."
Chase watches in alarm as the frog person reaches to touch Isy. Her body tenses, ready to bolt toward her, but Scratch’s voice stops her. Her twin is right—if the wings don’t work either, then they need to leave this horrible place. “But I don’t understand! Everyone else seems okay. Are they messing with them too, or just us? Is it because they know we snuck in without tickets? Gah!! I hate this place!! You’re right, let’s go when Isy comes back. There has to be a way out. Wherever we go, we stick together, okay? Like we’re glued. Remember that time we messed with dad's tools and we ended up with our paws glued for hours? Well, just the same.”
As Isycrosses the thoroughfare Scratch notices in the crowd a small frog like creature. Isypasses right by it as it reaches out it's hand and... [I need a d20 and a d10 from Isy]
In the blink of an eye the creature pulls a mist from the body of Isy, but she isn't stuck like the others. She continues towards the girl and begins to question her choice of clothing. For some reason her matching sandals seem silly. Her hair style seems too well kempt. These fashion choices are all wrong, but she doesn't seem to know what is right. Proper fashion just seems like it's silly and embarrassing. As she turns to look in the direction she came from, Isynotices the frog creature. This creature smiles at Isy, then vanishes. Oddly enough, Isyremembers the entire encounter.
She then continues to the girl and begins the conversation. This girl, lost and afraid, just wants her daddy. But where could he be?
Isy feels uncomfortable. These clothes aren't right. However, she shakes that off, and the frog creature was weird, but this girl seems to need help more. "Come with me! We'll find the Lost and Found with you." Maybe that's where they dragged Chandler, she thinks. She grabs her wrist, and tries to bring her over to the others.

Lex darts under the boardwalk near the bin and studies the materials he grabbed, trying to figure out how to piece a set of wings back together.

The little girl does have a pair of wings on her back.

Unfortunately, through the traffic of the crowd traveling along the thoroughfare she does not notice you. She remains planted.
Isy, now wearing wings, hurries out to her and asks her, "What's your name? You looks sad. Why are you sad? Do you want to come have fun with us?" If she gets a positive response she will grab her arm and haul her towards the rest of the group.
Scratch's concentration continues to be torn between what is going on behind them (the guard) and in front of them (the thoroughfare).

Nothing bad, I'm just trying not to give you the same thing as someone else.

I don't know what other people rolled, so I'm going to give a third as well just in case.
