Once again... he was not listening, being far too preoccupied by flailing and screaming. Maybe letting him hang there until he calmed down was a good idea, a very good idea indeed.

Minutes passed. Many, many minutes. And Nik didn't show any signs of calming. Rouge rubbed her temples tenderly; the human's shrill shrieks were beginning to bother her sensitive ears. "I don't think I can stay any longer," she admitted. "My head is starting to hurt..."

"I'll stay!" Chrono offered. He took a book out from one of his compartments and began to read.

Rob shifted between his feet for a moment, then sighed "I'll stay as well. Hope you'll be feeling well soon." Sitting down into a crosslegged position, he idly pulled a pocket knife and a half-carved piece of wood from one of his pouches and began to carve.

And then... the rope snapped a swarm of angry hornets attacked Nik a tumbleweed rolled by ... Rob carved a doggy. He set it aside, took out his flute, positioned his back against one of the railing's support beams, and began to play.

Chrono picked up the doggy carefully and examined it with the utmost care and attention. "Wow, it's really nice..."

Aaaand... the overlander finally stopped screaming. Either he'd calmed down, or he'd passed out from lack of breath. Either way, it was better for everyone's ears.

The cyan hedgehog lowered the flute whem Chrono took up the piece and glanced over at him, smiling faintly "Thank you," Then noticing the sudden silence that seemed to have befallen the area, the hedgehog grabbed the railing and leaned backward to glance down at the human below. A grin spread across his face. "You alright down there?" he called.

Silence. And then... " i'm gonna throw up. or down... or... hrmph..."

The hedgehog's grin faded, becomming replaced by solace at the response "Would you perhaps want I and Chrono to help pull you back up?"

And a moment later, the up/down question was answered. Down. Definitely down.

Rob sighed for what must have been the millionth time that day and began grabbing for the rope. "Hold still, alright?" he called down to Nik "We're going to pull you up, but please try to stay calm and don't move!"

"I hope he doesn't freak out again," Chrono murmured as he helped Rob.

Just then Rob felt the material of his hood move slightly. Maybe there was a draft. ...Outdoors.
And what was that hissing sound?

No longer hanging upside down, Nik took a deep breath as the circulation drained out of his head, removing some of the light headed feeling. Of course, he was still dehydrated and throwing down (not up) hadn't helped. So, for now, he just curled up and fell over. " worst day ever" Somewhere else, a tenrec screamed at him. "STOP WHINING! YOU THINK YOU GOT IT BAD?"

"Are you ready to calm down now and behave rationally?" Rob asked as he stepped up beside the human. He paused for a moment, then blinked suddenly, one of his ears twitching. "... Wait a moment. Where's that hissing?" He hadn't quite yet noticed the fact his still lowered hood was beginning to smoke.

MEANWHILE...
A certain Liger punk girl had found a suitable perch/hiding place where she could clearly see rob from her camera lense built into her techno-guitar. A wide smirk crossed over her face as she watched tenatively, a finger waivering over a small button near the strings.
"3....2....1..."
BOOMFH!
There was a sudden loud pop and thick smoke began to billow heavilly from Rob's hood, totally encompasing his head and face in a loud FSSSSSSSSSSSSSH noise.

Chrono was just about to offer his help when it exploded. He stared, stunned, and then rushed over to Rob. "ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT HAPPENED??"

Had Nik been paying attention, he'd probably freak out at the spontaneously combusting hedgehog head. However, he really wasn't paying any attention, instead, was focused more on not throwing up again, head on his knees and rocking a bit. "Today isn't a good day, man, not a good day at all..."

"WHOA!" Rob cried out when he suddenly found himself blinded by smoke. He jerked aside and threw his hands up to swat at it in a brief moment of panic, then his rationale kicked in and told him his hood must have somehow caught fire. Quickly he unlaced it and unbuttoned the cloak, heaving the article of clothing away and patting furious around the back of his head to put out the flames. Slowly brow arched and his arms lowered back down. He was... okay? His eyes darted over toward where he had thrown the cloak, and immediately noticed the fact it now appeared to be... floating in midair from where he had thrown it to... Rob blinked, baffled for the briefest of moments, then his eyes narrowed and he pulled his lips together tightly with a sharp inhale through his nose "... Espio..."

"IT WASN'T MY IDEA!!!" Rob's cloak levitated for a moment before fluttering to the ground as the sound of footsteps rapidly darted away from the group.

And hidden near where Loki was, if you listened really hard, you could hear the sound of quiet laughter.

and Loki was currently burying her mouth in her hands trying not to let out the mountain of laughter welling up in her throat.

Chrono figured he should do something, but he didn't know what. So he settled for asking, "Are you okay?"

Rob glared off in the direction Espio's footsteps had faded off to for a long moment, the hedgehog's ear suddenly swiveling toward the tree Manic and Loki were in. But if he realized they were there at all he didn't show it as he retrieved his hood. "Fine. Bloody well fine," he muttered, pulling the remains of the smoke bombs from the hood and just frowning at them "Honestly..." He placed the remains in one of his belt pouches to properly dispose of later and shook the cloak a few times before replacing it where it belonged around him and making sure his hood was up over his brow like he often wore it. He turned back to Nik, hoping the escapade hadn't somehow spooked him again. The human seemed to be off in his own world... After seeing his hood was laced well enough, he adjusted his gloves and cleared his throat before extending his hand down toward Nik. "Listen," he began in a strained voice "If you wish to leave so badly, then alright, fine. I'll take you to the exit right now and we can both be done with ourselves. Otherwise, I ask you please calm down and be willing to work with us."

The Overlander looked up and gave weak blink, then nodded slightly, gripping Rob's hand and struggling to get up again. He wasn't really thinking clearly at the moment, but with how he was currently feeling, he'd take all the help he could get. Even from savage, uncultured animal people. Just as long as he didn't throw up again. "okay..."

Chrono helped Rob, but blinked at the response. "Okay you're staying or okay you're going?" Then lower, so only Rob could hear: " I know where they are. Want me to do something?"

Rob glanced at the robian, whispering back to him " Aye, if you like, but don't feel obligated. I'll be needing a word with them later anyway..." he sighed " But if you do, try not to make a scene."
