[Catra is the expert on stealth so Entrapta follows the leader. Keeping quiet, she drops down. Except the corner of shadow is awfully small, so it may be closer then intended!]
[ Which immediately puts Catra's senses even more on edge, and she can only just about suppress the urge to give Entrapta a good shove.
However, she is focused enough on the task at hand to pass over her discomfort. Instead, she takes a peek inside the kitchen, then a deep inhale through her nose, eyebrows knitting together as she tries to discern all the different scents.
When that doesn't yield anything indicating human presence (beside Entrapta's), Catra moves on to carefully sneaking up beside the doorframe and having a good look inside the room.
Having determined it is safe, she turns to Entrapta. ]
[Entrapta pulls down her mask, flicking it to Night Vision. Of course she has a Night Vision mode. You can't count on air ducts to be well-lit!
Opening a panel, she fiddles with some wires. Kitchen lights winking out one by one. Though it's impossible to see her face, no question she is beaming.]
[ Catra has to blink for a moment, because while she does have excellent night vision, her eyes do have to adjust. But then she smirks. ]
Good move. Let's not waste any more time, though.
[ She quickly glances over her shoulder to spot Entrapta, but then pounces silently along the walls toward the part of the pantry where the fancy food for the upper ranks is kept. ]
[Entrapta follows her nose, right to several promising-looking bundles. It's hard to make out fine details. Important things like sizes (preferably TINY) but even she knows this is not the time to be choosy!
She winds her hair around several, pulling carefully. Who knows what booby traps could still lurk...]
[Entrapta's still rummaging. Lower to the ground now, easily in 'grab and drag' range. If necessary. Someone's going to notice the power outage any second!]
Wait, one more - !
[Despite the earlier focus, she can't help wanting to explore all the options!]
[ Catra is used to getting out of situations unseen and unheard, so she already was about to make her escape, but she notices Entrapta's not following.
She looks back, sees the finger on Entrapta's lips, then rolls her eyes and plops down.
From the kitchens, she hears the shuffling sound of movement, and then a shout: Hey, who raided the pantry?
Shit. They had to be smooth now or they'd be in trouble. ]
[Fortunately, Entrapta's done an excellent job fixing the grate back on. And between Catra's agility and her own hair? No traces to be found! Not normal ones, anyway! All they have to do is keep... still...
There's some really rude words as the technicians and cook scuffle around. Eventually throwing their hands up in frustration.]
[ And it takes about all of Catra's willpower to not yell back at them, giving her and Entrapta away, but for once, she checks herself in time. There's the grate separating them from the kitchens, anyway, and getting through that to properly yell would be too much effort.
Eventually, the grumbling dies down, and there's only shuffling to be heard from the kitchens as the cooks and technicians clean up the small mess they made. It's as good a time as any to make their escape, so Catra tugs on Entrapta's sleeve and jerks her head toward where the vent continues into darkness. ]

Okay, we're in the clear. Let's go. In and out.

Date: 2018-12-14 03:07 pm (UTC)[She's memorized alternate exits in the brief map glance. Just in case! Wriggling the grate off a wall, Entrapta gestures frantically with a tendril.]
Go! I'm right behind you!
[Someone has to put the plate back! Otherwise someone will figure out this wasn't just faulty wiring!]
