((*Dies laughing while reading Yzma's post* XDDDDD ))
Esmeralda looked around. Her body froze when she suddenly heard creaking noises, and she stepped closer to Poca and Djali, to protect them if need be.
Then a lightning lit up the room for a second, and revealed a tall skeletal looking form. The way the purple woman gritted her teeth, together with the look in her eyes, made her look mentally disturbed. In general she somewhat resembled a certain Mrs Sparrow, for those who had ever had the pleasure of meeting the shrunken head.
Esmeralda smiled and said: "Hello, Mrs. Sp...."
Then the woman stepped out of her corner, and Esmeralda noticed her mistake. This woman had a body to go with that shrunken head of hers.
"Oh, forgive me. I mistook you for someone else...."
She looked worried over at Djali, who was laying in Poca's arms, resting his tiny head against Poca's shoulder, while trembling from cold.
"It's my pet goat Djali. He has a fever. I am afraid he will die if I don't find a way to cure him."

Edna saw a woman who dressed up like she was some sort of gypsy as her eyebrow raised up a bit and then she turned and saw what appeared to be a goat as she felt a little bad for the animal. "Poor little fellow, getting sick by that lousy abomination of a rainstorm." She then noticed the gypsy was talking to what appeared to be a strange looking lady clad in purple and looked almost like a stick figure as she listened on.

Elisa moved closer to Pocahontas, stroking the trembling goat with her hands. She smiled at all the newcomers. She wasn't sure what it was that was keeping them trapped in this mansion, but at least there were plenty of them to fight, if need be.
Elisa looked over to the newest member of their group. An impossibly skinny woman stepped out of the shadows. Esmeralda had mistook her for Mrs. Sparrow, and Elisa could hardly blame her.
"Who are you?" Elisa asked. "Did you come to seek shelter from the storm?"

"Herbs?" She questioned the Gypsy. "My mom is a herbalist Witch and she gave me some herbs in a package a few weeks before I came to DisneyWorld... I didn't know what to do with them so I kept them..." Kiki began rummaging through her wet pink bag pulling out some soggy bread and a fruit juice packet. "Ah! Here it is!" Kiki exclaimed as she pulled out a bundle which she unwrapped showing some fresh herbs. "Um.. miss I think these can help your goat.. but I don't know anything about herbology.. I wish my magic was more helpful..." she spoke sadly. Handing the herbs to Esmeralda.

Esmeralda smiled and hugged the little witch gently before accepting the fresh herbs.
"Thank you Kiki! You have no idea how much this means to me. We gypsies live close to nature, and since no doctor wants anything to do with us outcasts, we use what we find in Mother Nature to cure ourselves. I know how to use herbs. I just didn't have anything left to use. I haven't had time to collect new ones since my work takes most of my time. I perform as a street dance performer, when I don't study with Merlin the wizard. I am his apprentice."
She studied her new herbs and smelled them. They were ones that could bring fever down and cure diseases in lungs and throats.
"Just what Djali needs now. Thank you. Poca, can you look after him for me while I brew his medicine? Now I only need a pot, and fresh water to combine with the herbs. I have to make tea for Djali. Have any of you seen running water or a kitchen around?"
She turned to Kiki with a smile.
"So you are a witch? What kind of witch if I may ask? As far as I understands there are many sorts."

Your welcome Esmeralda!" Kiki said sweetly as she took the hug from the Gypsy. "That's good that you know about herbs, mom tried teaching me once, but then I found out that flying was my true talent!" Kiki explained as Jiji meowed and walked up to Djali pawing the sick goat giving a meow of reassurance. "Me? Well I'm not exactly a full witch yet- I'm still in-training, but I do Delivery services on my broom!" Kiki explained.

"Too bad we can't get outside." Elisa said. "With all that rain pouring down, we'd have enough water in no time. Maybe there's an open window somewhere."
Elisa smiled at Kiki's black cat. Aside from the Gargoyles, she found herself missing her feline companion, Cagney.
"Well hey there." Elisa said as she scratched the black cat's chin. "Who's this cute little guy?"

As Edna heard the gypsy mention something about water she perked up a bit and realized she might help at all. "Excuse me darling you say water I happen to have some thats not opened yet." She said as she took out a closed bottle of fresh water and remember she had her battery powered hair dryer with her to heat things up.

[[wow, you guys are quick. *hurries to read all posts*]]
Pocahontas greeted Esmerelda with a smile but it turned to concern when she saw little Djali. She instantly took the little goat into her arms, the wetness from his fur coating her arms.
"What happened to him Esme?" she asked as they rejoined a large group of strangers in another room. She saw Chicken Little and Nani, but the rest were new to her. She nodded to them in greeting before turning back to Djali.
She sat down on the floor, her long hair falling across Djali like a blanket. She kissed his little head and snuggled him, trying to keep his as warm as she could.
Listening to the conversations of the group, she was delighted to know that the little girl, Kiki, had some herbs. She waited for Esmerelda to prepare them, whispering prayers in her native tongue, hoping it was not too late to save her little friend.

((Fast little buggers, aren't we? ;D )) Djali snuggled closer to Pocahontas, trembling with cold. Her long hair covered him like a carpet, and he nudged his tiny head closer to her and tried to give her a grateful lick. Again he tried to wag his tiny tail for her, while he was nestling in her arms. Esmeralda fetched the bottle of water from Edna, and thanks to the hairdryer, she managed to heat the water enough to make tea for Djali. "Thank you Edna," she smiled gently, before turning to Poca again. "Djali and I have been wandering about. When it clouded over, I thought we would make it to Kovu's suite, but then this storm came faster than I first thought, and we were forced to seek shelter here. The door slammed behind us - and here we are." Esmeralda mixed the herbs gently in the bottle with the warm water. Then she corked the bottle and shook it, so the herbs could react with the water. To make sure the tea would work, she mumbled all the protecting spells she knew while she was mixing the medicine, praying instantly that it was not too late to save Djali. When the tea was ready, Esmeralda returned to Pocahontas and knelt down by her side, uncorking the bottle. She looked lovingly down at the little goat in Poca's arms. "Now, little one, drink your tea. I want you to get well as soon as you can. You know I can't afford to lose you. I need you with me, here." Djali looked up at her, wagging his little tail by the sound of the love in his mistress' voice. For her he would do anything. Esmeralda smiled and placed the bottle to his mouth, trying to make him drink. And Djali swallowed every drop of tea the gypsy had prepared for him. ((I leave to you to decide if the tea works or not ))

Elisa's jacket had dried off, so she draped it over the small goat, patting him gently on the head.
Reaching for her cell phone, she tried to see if she could get a signal in this creepy place and call for help.
"Darn." She said. "Nothing."
"When Djali's up to it, we should probably get a move on." Elisa spoke up. "That door's not gonna budge, and we can't just sit here. There's gotta be another way out of the mansion."

Edna looked around the mansion but can't shake the fact that this place doesn't seem all too nice at all. "The sooner the better, but somehow its like someone or something doesn't want us to leave at all." The fashion designer then looked around and noticed another hallway as she was getting a bit curious. "Ok now this is too strange and i don't mean pollyester strange"

Pocahontas held Djali still in her lap as Esmerelda gave the goat his tea medicine. She kissed the animal's furry head and gave him a comforting squeeze.
Looking around she saw the other women. They were all strangers to her, both in appearance and speak. One was tall with dark hair like hers. She had pale skin and dressed strangely. The other was small but had an overwhelming personality. She reminded her of Meeko with all that energy.
"Who are you?" she asked them. "How did you get trapped here tonight?"

Elisa turned off her cell phone, realizing that she wasn't going to be getting a signal any time soon. At least this way she could conserve the battery.
She turned towards the young Native American. With all the concern about Djali, she suddenly realized that she hadn't introduced herself.
"My name is Elisa Maza." She answered. "I'm a detective from New York City. I got trapped here the same way everyone else did, I suppose. I came in to get out of the rain, and the door slammed shut behind me.
"Your name is Pocahontas, right? You're from the Powhatan tribe?"

Edna turned to look at the young native american girl and figured maybe she should have a little conversation with her so that she would not feel all bored. "My name is Edna Mode, Often known as simply "E" to my friends and I'm a fashion designer to the super heroes. Yes they are super in there powers, but it's my designs that make them stylish. I came here on vacation and so far it was good until this horrible rainstorm got in the way."
