Well, we almost watched Mystic get stomped on by a Psycho, so there's that heads up.

I woke to Mystic laying on my back, gently needing me with her paws.

I could hear the sound of rushing wind, the kind you would usually hear in a blizzard.

Mystic walked off me as I pushed myself up to a sitting position and looked around. {I must've blacked out after I fell.) I thought as rubbed the back of my head.

The inside of the escape pod looked well enough except for the missing door and cold air creeping in.

With how cold it was getting now was probably a good time to change into whatever else I had in my bag.

So I reached over to my backpack, which was lying close to me.

As I looked through it, Mystic sat next to me, purring as she rubbed her head against me. She had a lovely coat of fur, but she must have been getting cold as well.

I thought as I pulled out my helmet and the bag of clothes and began to unpack it.

I had two nightgowns, three thigh-high socks, and other underwear-basted clothing.

I also had an extra pair of black men's jeans and a black turtleneck, and what looked like a dress that I wore once and had promptly thrown in the bag to forget, and to my surprise, a red track jacket with lime green flanks and a pair of red gloves.

"Huh," I was wondering what I did with it. This track jacket was where I got the inspiration for my helmet.

I separated the black turtleneck along with the jacket and gloves from the clothes pile I had made and continued my search.

The only thing left in the bag was the bow I had on earlier and a face mask that could cover pretty much my entire head and neck.

I took the mask and tossed it in with the other clothes I was going to put on. After that, I took off my tank top and replaced it with the turtleneck.

The cold wind nipped at my back, sending a shiver down my spine.

The turtleneck wasn't that thick, but it was a lot better than that thin tank top.

leaving out the jacket, gloves, and mask, I folded everything else up neatly and put it all back in the bag.

With clothes now taking care of my next priority was food and getting warm again, so before I put the clothes bag away, I reached into my backpack to get the blanket I had seen.

As I took it out, I was pleasantly surprised to find an old pair of black scuffed-up boots and a semi-small black bag.

I took them out, placing them next to my helmet and other clothing items.

I hadn't thought about what I was going to do about footwear, so I was happy I wouldn't need to.

After that, I wrapped Mystic and I up in the blanket and started going through the rest of my backpack.

I was happy to find my lunch box was still in there along with some cat food, so I took care of Mystic first, also giving her some water in the process.
