Miia was frightened.

It wasn't a good feeling. For every scary thing that had happened to her since coming to Japan, none had truly rendered her as afraid as being boxed into a small room, a synthetic voice telling her she couldn't go home. At first she had thought she was being deported, and for what crime she didn't know. Ms. Smith surely would have come for her if that was the case, and her Darling would have fought for her, but as much as she called out...

As much as she called out, or banged her fists on the door, or beat her tail against the floor, Darling didn't come. Her love wasn't rescuing her in a blaze of gallant glory as he had when Draco had forced their advances on her, or when that terrible couple had harassed her, or when she had nearly drowned in Mero's pool.

He wasn't coming. He had to come for her, but he wasn't.

If she hadn't believed in him so strongly, it would have felt like a betrayal.

The most frustrating part was knowing the other girls were with him somewhere. Papi and her childish charm, Centorea and her quiet nobility, Mero and her subtle sensuality. They were with him and she wasn't, and if she wasn't there he may pick one of them as his bride. It made her teeth bare and her scales itch at the thought. She loved him the most, she was his first guest, she was the one who deserved to marry him.

By the time the door opened she had worked herself up into such a jealous frenzy that she nearly flew from her little prison, ignoring the little bits of machinery she had been instructed to take. She slid down corridors, thumped her tail in irritation over every second that passed in the elevator, and when the door slid open she all but bulleted down the next hallway, careless of where she was going.

No matter what that stupid voice said, she needed to find her Darling. And she needed to find him now.

[Miia has arrived, but is in some pretty strong denial. Find her anywhere on the station, frantically searching for the love of her life.]

Jack had finished for the shift and his tools were put away. He was on his way to find some food when a pretty little creature all but ran into him. He could tell it was an accident, she seemed awfully distracted.

"Hey, hey," he said, catching hold of her just as they collided so that neither of them would fall. "Are you okay? Are you...oh, ok. No pants. Tail. Interesting. Are you okay, though?"

Alice had begun to think Sanctuary the strangest place she had ever seen. It was certainly less congenial than Wonderland, and though she did find the ideas of Futureworld enticing, the perceived realities were somewhat sterile.

Not, Alice thought, that there was anything wrong with sterility when it came to beasts like Bumby, or surgical suites, but in a home it left something to be desired. "Honestly," she said aloud as she emerged from the lift onto the ground level. "I'd even be glad to see the Cat in this--"

Goodness. Alice took a step back out of the way of the oncoming snakewoman. She smiled to herself to find that Futureworld had improved on the Queen. "I daresay the tail suits you better than the tentacles. Are you late, Your Majesty?" Even if they hadn't parted on the best of terms, it was almost reassuring to see her.

Marie considered herself to be pretty versed in the strange, having attended a high school with aliens and mutants, surviving attacks of angry aliens, dinosaurs, zombies and a bucket load of nasty spells. But that had been years ago, and a human being drops a habit as quickly as they pick one up.

So when a large snake..thing past her in the hallways, all she did was yelp in unflattering surprise.

Ianto had gotten used to the alien beings that populated the station to the point where, for the most part, he didn't even look up at them anymore unless they were noisy or flashing or very, very large. But the girl who sped past him (and it definitely was a girl, at least part of her that was human like appeared to be female) caught his attention immediately. It wasn't just the length of her python-like tail that Ianto noticed, but the panic in her eyes, the way she sobbed as she seemed to search frantically around her. She was fast too, and Ianto couldn't hope to keep up with her as he attempted to follow her, but luckily she doubled back and he held up his hand to get her attention.

"Miss? Are you okay?" he asked as she closed in on him, hoping she she could hear him.
