Aron laughed. "Yes, that is the one. Danny was always more with Claire than I." He said in a slight regret. Daniel had said that Claire had never reached the base, or that if she had, she had been a victim of the riot. "I think I got a name for whatever first male foal he may have."
Daniel put the pup down when he heard the female whine. "I wonder if the cars will also see how cute puppies are."

"I kinda saw that one coming," Ebony laughed, "My spikes would probably be one of my main weapons. But I think I really see myself as an anti-hero or something."
~~~~~
Soon they came upon the large double doors of the theater. Delfina stopped and turned around to face the group again. "This is our theater. It's where we go to watch old classics from our world, which happen to be all we have left of it. There's enough seating and the aisles are big enough to allow cars inside."

"That's entirely possible." Kendall nodded. "People are wanting more from gameplay now than simple hero/villain scenarios. More ambiguity and choices."
The crews followed Delfina inside, and looked up at the friezes and sculptures carved out of the stone, and at the plush red seats that the projectionist explained had been salvaged from a long-shuttered movie palace of a bygone era. "Would it be possible to show something?"
"I have a couple of cartoon shorts ready to go." Dean, the projectionist, nodded. He looked neater than usual, with a button-down shirt and black pleated pants. His long hair was back in a ponytail.
"Sorry about your sister." Dawn touched Aron's arm.
"Misty seems to think they're cute." Liska said. "She calls them "little fluffballs."
Raine stirred as she woke up again. "They're not anywhere near, are they?"
"No, they went towards the other end of the complex." Doc said.
"Maybe Dean will have some cartoons to keep them distracted." Julian snickered.

"I can't imagine the income they'll get with this.", Amélie continued.
"It's not the image the medias make of us that concerns me, but what the population thinks of us. Back home, some people would pick on each other just because they were of different colors.", Martin sighed.

"How about something original, then?" asked Ebony, "Like make it both an exploring and an adventure game."
~~~~~
"Please, by all means, put them on," nodded Delfina, who took a seat by the aisle, "It's a good way to show what our pop culture was like."
The she turned back to the group, "There's enough room here for everybody. Just pick a spot in the aisle and get comfortable."

Raine rolled her eyes with a smile, shifting closer to Doc's side like a puppy. "Did they find Ebony or Phoenix yet?"

"Thanks." Aron ruffled Dawn's hair for a second. He did not dare disturbing Delfina as she was making a tour. It was too late to get her out of the spotlight.
"That's good." Daniel said. "That means that the inhabitants here are quick to adjust, or at least some of them."

"They got a few seconds of Phoenix cornering a wandering baby." Doc said. "Hope that doesn't give her away."
"And we hardly saw Ebony at all." Julian added.
Dean went back to the booth and got the projector going. He had "One Froggy Evening" and "What's Opera, Doc?" all lined up. He hoped they at least understood ragtime and opera references.
Dawn and Misty waited with Aron and Delfina.
"That's what I was thinking." Kendall said, "Maybe combine it with the concept I was already working on."
Tess followed along, ready to fill in if Delfina had a bad moment.
"Maybe, maybe not." Tamara shrugged. "Sometimes people are more willing to make an allowance for something very different than for more minor things. It's one of the mysteries of the mind."
"They're probably making millions off the ad spots alone." Shayla agreed.
"The aircraft didn't have too much trouble." Liska said. "But I remember how rank Phoenix was before she settled down."

"Phoenix?" Daniel asked. "She seems calm enough, what's was with her?" He asked.
Aron leaned on the back of Delfina's chair. You're getting awful lot of attention. He directed a thought to her.

Delfina remembered those cartoon shorts that began showing. 'I'm looking as human as I can to them as possible,' she replied mentally, 'but my ears are starting to itch.'
Her ears were getting downright uncomfortable being tied up behind that bandanna of hers. If only she could let them out, but didn't have that privilege of privacy at the moment.
~~~~~
"And what is this concept that you're working on?" asked Ebony, who was becoming quite interested right now.

Lose the crowd when the cartoon is over. And aren't you the girl that couldn't handle crowds? Aron remembered when she had bolted on the sight of him. She seemed to handle this awfully well.

Tess stepped forward, whispering. "Delfina, do you need a break? I think everyone here understands the concept of "Little Girl's Room." and that's what I can say."
"It's about a bounty hunter," Kendall began, "He's after an escaped terrorist, and has to go through hell and high water to get to him, and the antagonist also has some pretty strong motivations. At least, that's how it stands right now."
"She was first brought in by Ebony," Liska explained, "And she had just gotten away from her grandfather, a real nasty piece of work. Phoenix had some major attitude problems and had a go at Delfina when they first met. Ebony put a stop to that, but injured Phoenix in the process, which means they had to take her back here for treatment. She's calmed down considerably over the past two weeks."

Raine was immediately concerned for Phoenix, knowing her fear of being discovered, "Then why don't they try to find whoever got the footage and destroy the evidence?"

'I'm getting better at it,' replied Delfina.
She looked up at Tess and nodded, "Yes, I think I do need a break. Thanks."
~~~~~
"A bounty hunter, eh? And he's after this escaped terrorist?" asked Ebony, "Sounds intriguing. Can I add something, though? What if, to capture the terrorist, the bounty hunter has to solve a number of puzzles and riddles he (or she) encounters on each level? That would really get the player to use their minds."

"She seemed pretty normal when I saw her." Daniel said, picking up the black female. She was in quite a playing mood as she pawed at his hand.
"I'll come with you." Aron said low.
