The best idea you could come up with was to run back to the place you came from, hoping that there would be another lingering animal waiting that could give you a hand. You take the largest looking animal you could and rush at him. He doesn’t know how to respond, whether to take you down or try to catch you. You take one solid step and rise off the ground directly into his chest, getting enough momentum to propel yourself in the opposite direction and knock that guy on the ground. You finally gained the ground you needed, and with a speed boost to boot. You dashed as fast as your deer legs could take you back past the zoo gates. You decide to go back towards the exhibits and see who was lingering around. You hit a dead end in this enclosure that looked like a bamboo forest, looking frantically for an escape, but were quickly surrounded again. Just as one guy closed in on you, he was hit with a hard plastic box. Everyone turned to look at who threw it and saw a very large and naked panda, grumpy from being awaken from his nap. The guys all scattered, not wanting to be a part of the wrath that was coming, but you stay put, curious to see who this person was.
“Name’s Day, now get lost. I’m trying to sleep.”
Day just huffed, obviously not bothering to converse with you anymore, and began to snore. You make yourself comfortable with the leftover hay and things on the ground to give you some kind of warmth. The night passed by and then came the morning. Keeping your promise, you left before anyone woke up. Walking back to the costume shop to exit once again, you run into the skunk man again. He eyes you down and can tell that you had a rough night, but it doesn’t even bother him a little bit.
“Hey there bro, come back to see little old me, or maybe you feel like working again?”
You want to hit him, or just get away from there, but before you can do anything, he backs away from you. You get confused and turn around, only to find Day standing right behind you, half-awake and still naked from his nap. You didn’t expect to see the animals in the exhibits roam around in the daytime, but maybe there was a reason why he’s here.
“I need to talk to you” he says before walking towards a corner...
