strange as the situation sounds, you don't want to make it even more stranger by hitching a ride in the pouch of a talking kangaroo. Besides... there was something off about the way she was being so friendly to you that you feel like the roo is up to something when she offered you a ride all of a sudden. still thinking about your clothing that you gave her your answer as you stepped back a sec.
"well i don't want to be mean or anything like that as it's very nice of you to offer me a rid in your lovely pouch of yours, but sadly, i'll have to decline your offer. I'm sorry as i'm going to have to say no, but thanks for offering tho." you say as The roo sighs and turns her back on you.
"Oh well, You offer something nice to someone and they decline on you. I guess you can't win them all as I can't stop you. Well anyways, goodbye for now..." she says as was soon hopping loudly off into the trees, until you can't see or hear her anymore.
breathing a sigh of relief as you turned back and walked about a mile in the direction of the pool that it wasn't smart of you to follow the kangaroo, even if you thought she was cute. Damn, walking back with all those rocks and brambles... that is when you heard something close by calling you.
"Pssst. Hey you, buddy."
You furtively look around for the source of the voice, but can't seem to find one as you You snap your head to the right then the left. "Who's there? show yourself!" You cry out, taking a step back. The air now seems thick and muggy, the sky a dull tan.
"I saw you meeting up with that crazy kangaroo bitch. Lucky you escaped when you did. if you'd a climbed in, you would've been a joey before you know it. She wasn't lying though, you know, where she's carried a whole bunch of 'em that she managed to convince more then I can count inside her pouch at times. she even when as far as carried four hikers one day that Wouldn't you know it, she seals it shut as they squirm, yell, and all, but after about five minutes tops after words is when she opens up her pouch and pulls out four new baby joeys. all bright and springy that who knows just how many she's caught, we lost track around the 70's that he gets the most of 'em around here..., this jungle is just too crowded with them around."
"So your saying is if you're stuck here without clothes that you'll be an animal before long?" You cry out, now even more desperate to find your clothes. by the sound of the voice's words, there's been a lot of transformations around here lately that you did thought about being one when you were a kid, but now your older is where You don't want to spend the rest of your life as some hairy jungle animal.
"i'm afraid so that I also saw what happened to your clothes. " The voice says again, followed by a whispering of grass moving. ""While you took ya dip in the pond is when that Clever bastard scooped 'em right up, right under your nose. Although I can't say I agree with his decision on what it did."
"Did...did you see which direction it took my clothes?" You ask the voice, just as a twig snaps behind you.
" why of course I did, but I can't tell ya that without some sort of payment. it's gonna cost ya." The voice says as it was now so close that it sounds more like a whisper into your ear. "W...what kind of payment do you have in mind?" You begin to stammer, but the rest was soon cut off as you were soon being tackled from behind and onto your back. pinned to the ground by the source of the voice that it flipped you over, reviling it to be what appears to be a girl. looking at her more closely that she wasn't just a girl, she was...
