Breath of Fire Arc

[Dracos]

Standing at the doorway, a long and large street is visible right outside the steel door'ed building Ami stepped out of.  The road shows the signs of years of weathering and leads off both further into the city and out into the desert they came from.  Across  the road two buildings are visible.  One is a small stone building which has wood covering it's door.  Some of the wood was pried off earlier by Ami to use as a tool.  Green paint is flecking off the outer walls as the building slowly gives into the elements.  Further down across the street is a large warehouse with a broken gate and a hole through it's fence where Ryder had demonstrated his driving prowess.

Turning her head to the right, two other buildings are visible.  A large one story open bazaar like building (long stone building with a large open window and a slight outcove for placing goods to sell upon) is visible.  A steel door is visible at the far end facing the street.  Something's on it but it can't be made out at this distance.  Further down is a three story building.  Not much can be made out at this distance, though the paint job seems odd.

In the street your car, slightly scratched up from the earlier driving, is sitting unused.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Ami turned her head slightly to regard their companion. "So... what did you do?"

Hotaru sighed, "Nothing much," she answered, "They at least deserved a proper send off."

Ami didn't respond, instead, motioning Hotaru to help Ryoko into the car.

"So how is he... err... she?" Hotaru asked as she hefted Ryoko into her seat.

"Doing better," replied Ami, "But still tired from the poison. I think it's better to let her rest here for now."

"Besides," she added, "It'll keep her out of trouble."

Hotaru smirked a bit at her friend's returning humor. "So where to next?"

"Let's try that building across the street," Ami said, pointing to the small, stone building next to the warehouse.

Both girls crossed the street and headed off to the building. Reaching the entrance, they pried off the remaining wooden planks and entered.

[Dracos]

The wood planks fell off revealing an old oak door that looked barely intact.  Through it a wall with faded peeling flower wallpaper could be seen.

Opening the door revealed a small room with glass on the floor and the remains of a small green carpet with what looks like a W an E and a C on it...but the rest is unlegible.  To the left the wall opens (incredibly short corridor) to a midsized room.  The floor is tile and covered with dirt, grime, and dust.  In the corner of the room there are two rusty metal rods facing up with some bulky metal dish on top.   a large black box with a gray screen covered in dust is between them on a metal stand.  Two highly moldy wood and cloth chairs sit in the center of the room facing it.  No more can be seen from this angle.

A scrawny rat crawled acrosss the road.

Both girls entered the room and began exploring.

"Well," Ami commented, "Whoever lived here had pretty good taste."

"Yeah, it is rather cozy, isn't it?" Hotaru asked, blowing dust off a table top then sneezing. The sudden noise and rush of air proved too much for the table though as it suddenly collasped into bits of wood and splinters.

Ami glanced back, frowning a bit as Hotaru laughed nervously. "Err... oops?"

Shaking her head and sighing, Ami turned back to look around for anything useful.

OOC: gah, adrenline....rush....heh...

Stepping into the room revealed a few shattered frames and glass along the previously unviewable right wall.  Near that corner two door frames (without doors) stood.  Both were dark.  It was becoming slightly hard to see with the light from just the door.

Ami frowned, straining a bit to try to peer into the dark room. "Hotaru, if you please?"

Hotaru nodded, activating her scythe and letting its soft glow add some more light to the room. Ami thanked her and resumed exploring; Hotaru standing nearby as a lamp and sentry.

[Dracos]

Searching around the room, Ami slowly found mainly the remains of what once must have  been a beautiful family room.  In the far right corner she discovered two doors.  One leading out into some sort of hallway with rug on the floor separating it from the tile before (the left door).  One to the right having a switch near it inside of the door and small white tile covered with dust on the floor.   On the right door a small bit of a counter is visible from the doorway.

Curiousity getting the better of her, Ami headed to the door on the right; Hotaru following.

[Dracos]

Stepping into the door on the right, Ami ran smack into an ancient cobweb.  The visible room included a definite switch on the right of the door behind her and a wall also on the right going off beyond sight.  The same faded wallpaper was visible on it.  Above the counter to her left was some sort of wood shelving.....  highly rotted.  Nothing was visible on the counter but a lot of dust for as much as she could see.

[Shukuen]

Seeing the switch, Ami flipped it on to see if it still worked.

[Dracos]

Flicking the switch multiple times got no effect...

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"Oi Hotaru? Can you swing some light over here?" Ami asked, giving up on the switch for now.

Hotaru nodded, stepping further into the room, just a few feet behind Ami. She carefully positioned her scythe as to not to accidentally slice her friend. Its dim glow providing barely adequate lighting in the room.

[Dracos]

Stepping a little further in revealed a rather large...empty space of tile.  The extra step in took the counter out of viewable range...  something plastic is on the floor near the wall to your left.

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

Curious, Ami bent down to pick up the plastic object.
