((I'm going to regurgitate the excerpt from #10 - The Andriod so Mythica can properly "see" where it is we're going.
Marie, with your permission, there are a few minor actions including a few words that have to be made by your character, do you mind if I post them? If you have any objections, I'll alter the post so that there's another andriod down there. So I'm not modding your character.))
Elayne opened the door that led down to Erek King’s basement. Jake, Shawn, and Raksha followed her down the narrow wooden steps. Ax had decided to join them as well. He knew that he could be himself down there and not worry about on-lookers seeing him.
Elayne paused when they all got down to the basement. Then, Jake felt the familiar slight dropping sensation. The basement began dropping like an elevator. When Shawn looked up, he couldn't see a roof overhead, just darkness. "Whoa," he commented.
"Don't be afraid," Elayne said, mostly to Raksha. It didn't last long. They dropped four or five floors. At least that's what it felt like. Then, with a slight lurch, the basement elevator stopped. "Is this the floor for lingerie?" Shawn joked. Jake smirked, “Marco made a joke like that too.” It was no surprise when one entire wall of the basement, hung with tools, a garden hose, and a rake and hoe, simply disappeared. Well, at least not to the those that have been there before.
Where the wall had been was now a hallway lit with a golden light. "This way," Elayne said. They followed her. Shawn leaned to Jake and used his Gollum voice, “Don’t follow the lights.” Jake didn't react. The hallway wasn't long, just fifty feet or so. It reached a dead end, a blank wall. But then that wall, too, disappeared.
What was beyond the hallway was a vast, vast chamber, lit in glowing gold light, soft and buttery warm. They stepped out of the hallway onto springy grass. And overhead, maybe a hundred feet up, there was a glowing orb, like a sun. That's where the yellow light came from. Stretched out before them, for more than the length of a football field, was a sort of park.
Trees, grass, streams, flowers, butterflies flying around jerkily, bees buzzing from flower to flower, squirrels racing up and down the trees. Walking here and there were androids. Androids in their natural form, machines made of steel and something white. The androids had mouths that were almost like muzzles, clumsy-looking legs, and stubby fingers. But it wasn't the presence of the half-dozen or so androids that was really shocking. What was really shocking was that there were hundreds, maybe even a thousand dogs. Normal, everyday Earth dogs, every breed and half-breed you could imagine, running in packs. They were chasing squirrels, smelling each other, and generally having a great ole dog time.
It was doggie heaven. Dogs and robots in a huge, underground park.
