*JW in prey center, snacking and chatting

*Qibli walks into cave

Qibli: Hey guys, have you seen Shadow?

Turtle: No, why?

Kinkajou: Ya, WhY dO yOu WaNt To KnOw???

Qibli: uhhh

Winter: Why must you talk like that *sigh

Winter: Such linguistic imprecision makes it very difficult to understand whatever nonsense is coming out of your snout

Kinkajou: Good thing I don't care!

Moon: She might be in her cave?

Qibli: Wait, she has a cave?

Moon: Yeah, Sunny gave her and Amber caves because they practically live here now

Turtle: Speaking of Amber...

Kinkajou: Hmm, where IS Amber?

Moon: She might be in HER cave?

Kinkajou: I guess that makes sense...

Winter: They are probably sleeping in, you know, enjoying their weekend *eye roll

Turtle: Why aren't you doing that?

Moon: Kinkajou woke us all up early... *yawn

Qibli: Well, I'm going to go find her  *leaves prey center

*Qibli walks around JMA

*Qibli realizes that walking around JMA is not going to magically bring him to Shadow's cave

*Qibli facetalons

*Qibli goes to Sunny's cave

Qibli: Hello?  *pokes head into Sunny's cave

Sunny: Oh, hi Qibli!  What brings you here?

Qibli: I was actually looking for Shadow's cave

Sunny: It's the 1st tunnel, 7th cave on the left.  Amber's is right next to it

Qibli: Thanks!  *Turns to leave

Sunny: Also, they requested something they called "Doors" covering the entrance to their caves, something about them being very loud...  *shrug

Qibli: Whats a door?

Sunny: Some sort of wooden board covering the entrance, with a cutout rectangle that hinges outward...

Qibli: Ok, thanks!  *Goes to find the caves

*Approaches caves

*Finds a wooden wall in the space of the cave entrance, with a door covered in bright pink and yellow glitter, as well as drawings of mangoes and sloths 

*Regards it for a moment

Qibli: I'm fairly sure that this is Amber's room and not Shadows...

*Approaches another wooden wall, this time with a door painted black with glittering stars

*Qibli carefully opens the door

*VERY VERY LOUD NOISE BLASTS IN HIS EARS

Qibli: YAH!!!  *Slams door

*Pauses

*Slowly opens door again

*VERY VERY LOUD NOISE BLASTS IN HIS EARS AGAIN

Qibli: EEP!!!  *Slams door again

*Pauses

*Finally opens door fully and steps inside to find Shadow rocking out to Shut Up And Dance
