An hour had passed and Lain's eyes were beginning to burn. No matter how long she stood staring at this painting she wasn't getting any closer to deciphering it's meaning. Along with her eyes, her neck was becoming very stiff. It probably didn't help that she hadn't blinked or moved for one whole hour. Yet, something deep inside her longed to know the meaning of the abstract painting that hung diagonally in front of her. The bright colours swirled and blotched it's way around the canvas. Like an insane interpretive dance, leaving Lain baffled.
"Ugh i give up.. It's impossible" She groaned spinning on her heel, maybe she'd have better luck with the next painting.

I walk through the twisting hallways of the museum when I come across a very determined looking Lain. I stand next to her and look at the painting she's staring so longingly at. "Ahah! Oh my girl this is so simple" I chuckle as I pull out a felt tip pen. "You see," Drawing on the painting as I'm talking "This is the old legend of the debatable sighting of Big Foot and Jesus Christ, whether it's true or not is unnecessary it is a fascinating painting anyway" I make rough scribbles here and there on the painting, blindingly fast now soon the pen melts away to nothing. "There!" The painting now shows a perfect outline of Jesus and Big Foot having a picnic in the woods with an orchestra playing as a rainbow shines over them with birds and other wildlife in the background. "Now, shall we go decipher more of these 'ancient texts?'" I giggle to myself as I lead the way down another hallway, opening a little bag nearly bursting with felt tip pens.

Daemon walked by, he saw many interesting paintings particularly abstract.

Lain raised her eyebrow at Tommy, not at all suprised that he somehow crawled out of the woodwork. "Now i'm even more confused." She said laughing as she followed him down one of the many winding corridors.
"I don't really think we should be.. Re-editing the paintings in here Tommy. "
Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a silver knight, cloaked in armour. If she didn't know better she would have sworn it moved..

"Oh pish posh Lain" As we walk down I give quick 're-editings' of the paintings we pass. Then as we get to a big door with a sign next to it with 'Prehistoric Age' written on it.
"Oh Lain can we please? Oh we shall have OODLES of fun!" I run through the doors slamming back against the walls and my eyes fall upon dinosaurs, cave men, sabre tooth tigers and a.... Wooly Mammoth! I go up to it feeling its trunk, tugging on it to test its durabillity then, giving Lain a wink I shoot up climbing to the top so I'm in a riding position. "Whoo! Lain look at me! I'M RIDING A MAMMOTH!" Swinging my arms around in joy I don't notice that the Mammoth was making small movements, as if it was breathing. In a flash it rears up nearly throwing me off, hanging at the back and holding onto its smally furry tail it starts to stampede through the room the other animals coming to life. "LAIN! GET YOUR SMALL ELVEN ASS IN HERE NOW!" Bouncing against the mammoths backside.

Lain had stopped following Tommy when she thought the knight had moved, as she got closer to it she decided that it was highly unlikely and probably impossible. The Armour would weigh a tone!
Suddenly she heard Tommy yelling and what sounded like crashing..? Snapping back to reality she raced through the door into the prehistoric room to find Tommy dangling like a worm on a hook. Except he wasn't a worm and the mammoth's tail wasn't a hook. The mammoth was alive!
"Holy..!" Lain rushed over to Tommy and tugged him off the mammoth, grabbing her sword with her free hand.
"I don't know if i can take on a mammoth!"

Landing on the ground painfully I stand up and dust myself off. "Mammoths aren't fun anymore.." Looking around for a weapon I pick up a long piece of wood, not exactly the most deadliest of weapons but it should do.
"With any luck we won't have to take care of the Mammoth," Looking over to a group of cavemen with spears throwing them at the charging Mammoth. "No, what I'd be scared of is them Dinosaurs over there" Motioning over to a small pack of Velociraptors prowling the area and pouncing on a Sabre tooth tiger tearing it to shreds. I stand close to Lain and hold my weapon close, ready for anything.
Then a crash through one of the walls unleashes a regiment of Nazis from the WW2 section of the museum, they're firing at practically everything that moves. A bunch of orders being belched out from a fat Nazi officer as he looks over to Lain and me. "So, you want the animals? Or the nazis?" I ask Lain, waiting in anticipation for an answer.

Lain's eyes flicked between her two options, The group of humans who looked downright cruel, or the Animals who looked.. Well, Animals.
"I'll take the animals." She concluded, spinning away from Tommy and charging toward one of the bigger Velociraptors.

I've got the Nazis then. Holding my wood tightly I grit my teeth and run straight for the group of Nazis, with shouts of 'Achtung!' and other warnings and alarms in german the officer holds his arm up then when I get a little closer he lets it drop screaming 'FEUER FREI!' and the Nazis let loose with their firing. Phasing me a little bit as I keep on running towards them holding my wood up in the air as the bullets sink in, shoot out the other side and splatter blood everywhere. Leaping up I land the wood right onto one of the Nazis heads splintering the wood and falling out of my hands, the faltered Nazi tries to collect himself but not before I throw a punch planting it right into his face and out the back of his head. The officer drops his rod and draws his luger and orders the others to take me out. Weaving in and out of their attacks and disarming them, breaking arms and legs leaving them sprawled out on the ground crying out in pain. The officer sees this all happen in an instan and unloads a full clip into me, I fall backwards and land on my back arms laid out. He walks over to observe his kill when I open my eyes, grab his rod and before he can react I proceed to beat him to death with it, bludgeoning him untill there' nothing left but a bloodied pulp steaming on the ground I laugh insanely and turn to see how Lain is faring, licking the blood off the rod.

The Velociraptor turned to face Lain, it's mout wide open. But before it could snap up Lain she shoved her blade inside it's mouth. "Vit Klaro!" She shouted as her blade burst into blue fire, causing the Dinosaur's head to explode. Spinning on her heel she easily decapitated the smaller Velociraptor that was coming up behind her. Within minutes she had cleared the area of Velociraptors, using various spinning and flipping techniques.
She couldn't help but celebrate an early victory, as she turned to check on Tommy she felt the air around her thicken with moisture.
"Uh oh.." She felt her stomach drop as she tilted her head to see the reason behind the dampness and was greeted with a roar.

Looking over at Lain finish all the Raptors so quickly and efficiently, I couldn't help but feel admiration for her. But then seeing the drooling, roaring monster behind her I looked around quickly for a better weapon than just a rod to go help her out I go back to the Nazis and check their guns, one gun still has half a round left I pick it up and search for more ammo. I find one more round and run over to help Lain out shooting off in the Rex' face just as it was about to clamp it's jaws around Lains small shape.

Lain couldn't help but feel relieved that Tommy had thought so fast and reacted in such a short amount of time. Maybe she didn't give him enough credit. She grinned maliciously as she watched the now faceless T-Rex, fall heavily to the floor. "Thanks for that, i owe you one." She said as she smiled brightly at Tommy. She was truly grateful.
As she gazed around the room, now stained with blood she was pleased to notice that everything that could probably hurt them was now dead. "Hmm.. So the 'Under the sea' Room next?" She asked eagerly.

Karashi stood at a painting, her hands behind her back. She loved looking at paintings. She felt that they spoke to her, and that she could understand them in a way that no one else could. She wondered if anyone was looking at her weirdly, seeing as she had ears and a tail. She wasn't the average human. In fact, she wasn't human at all. She was a shapeshifter, and could turn into a wolf at any time she wanted. She sighed, just standing there. 'I wonder who painted this?' She tried to look for a signature, but couldn't find one. She looked around for help, but didn't know who, or where to ask for help. She really didn't know anyone here. She had awaken in a dark room, and given the name Karashi. She hadn't remembered anything before that, and she wished that she did. Did she have a life? Friends? Parents? Brothers? Sisters? So many questions came to mind, and she hadn't a clue who to go to for answers. That's why she came here. She could look at paintings all day and not have to ask anyone for anything.

"I'm afraid you owe me more than one Lain.." I say to her, winking. Loading the gun with the last round I think to myself that this may need to be used alot more than I had hoped.
Looking around the room at the gore splattered everywhere and countless corpses lying around. "We sure can decorate huh? When all this is over we shud put up some of our works of arts" Slinging the gun over my back by its strap, holding my hands on my hips admiring the scene.
"Under the sea you say? Oh I do wonder what we will find there.. Lead the way!"Pointing out with my rod from the Nazi officer.

Lain's grin widened as she turned to exit the room, finding herself in yet another winding hallway. Except in this hallway there was a girl, one Lain hadn't seen before. Ever so cautious she approached her, blade held at the ready. "Hello Miss, if i were you I'd get a weapon. Something might jump out of that painting and eat you!." She said with the up most seriousness.
"Well we're off to explore the rest of the museum, you can tag along if you like." As she trotted off further down the hall her blood stained hair stuck stiffly to the backs of her arms, making her feel like an animal after a kill. As she mulled that thought over she decided that technically that was true.
"Off to find the whales! Run tommy run!!"
