[Kunsel may not have his SOLDIER hearing anymore, but that doesn't mean he's not paying attention to what he can hear, especially as they're trudging through the snow, where they could run into monsters. Monsters they might not even see until it's too late.

Like what happened to Hiro...

So a noise that's somehow both gravelly and high-pitched? Yeah, that gets his attention real fast. It's distant, but...]

Does anyone else hear that?

[swatsflies]

Hear what? [He's looking around to try to see if anything was coming.

Out of the corner of his vision, he sees Zack tensing up, while pulling out his knife.]

Let me see if I can get a better look. [Zell is already jogging ahead as he says this. Looking on the other side of a pile of rubble to see something flying towards them.]

What??? What is that? [It's getting louder.]

[deus_ex_phs]

Hey! Don't go too far ahead!

[That part is hissed after Zell after an aborted move to hold him back. It's not that Kunsel doesn't think Zell can take care of himself, but more of an instinctive kneejerk reaction to approach a potential threat with caution.

Yeah, Zack isn't the only SOLDIER tensing up here.

But it's a bit too, so all Kunsel can really do is hunch down to keep a low profile as he follows close behind in Zell's tracks. Buddy system, Zell. No one's going off alone anymore.

Once he reaches the pile of rubble, he carefully edges his head out just far enough to squint.]

It looks like... [He frowns. It's hard enough to see anything with all this snow as a backdrop, let alone while it's snowing. But there's a small, dark shape coming close, accompanying the strange, tinny scream.

An oddly familiar scream, actually...]

Wait. I've heard that sound before.

[ Jim's holding his hockey stick above his head by now, ready to strike if need be. Whatever it is isn't acting like any monster they've encountered before, but that doesn't mean it's friendly.

He trots along at Kunsel's heels, unwilling to let anybody out of his sight at this point. He stops a few feet off, ready to give backup if it's needed. That's why he hears Dumpy long before he sees him, and he's definitely heard that sound before. He half-lowers the stick and squints out into the snow. ]

-Please tell me that's what I think it is.
