(April 18th - 19th)

So upon asking around in Hugel, you've learned that Arunafeltz has been abandoned for some years now. Something about the majority of the city disappearing off until the remainder moved off to Lighthalzen and left the city as a ghost town. Many of them have heard of the traveling machine, but never had seen it for themselves, except for a few who can recount their friends or family members going off world.

The journey to Arunafeltz shouldn't take more than a day. Once you get there, you should start rooting around the city center. Explore a little bit, and enjoy yourself. Your company. You're this much closer to getting home.

[Mission: Explore the city and rig your ride home.]

[ ya ]

[sawedoff]

[follows cas into hall in the middle of their tiny herd and clicks flashlight on to keep them from doing some unintentional conga lining]

[like hesitantly excited that this is gonna work out. elbows nick quietly while they make their way through empty ass building]

You actually think we were gonna make it out after all this time?

[be honest. nobody did.]

[dices]

[ laughs a little at him, scratching his neck. this is like, the most light at the end of the tunnel they have had for a long time so he's kind of clinging to hope for once ]

I think we deserve a damn break for once. [ shrugs ] I don't want to jinx it, but, yeah, I got a good feeling about this one.

[mercyless]

[ also takes out her flashlight and looks at the walls. uuhuuhu shadows. ]

[ still not sure how to feel about this whole going home thing. ]

[nosleeves]

{yeah.....it seems like a damned if you do damned if you dont sort of deal]

[sawedoff]

Dude, you're already jinxing it.

[still has no idea why zombie crew is even bothering to go back. buddy system. do it.]

[shines light up a set of stairs and sets about a-climbin]

[inenochian]

[ can we not use that word. the d word. ]

[ talk about jinxing it. ]

[dices]

[ we'll stop using the d word when you stop blinking in and out u lil unicorn ]

[ pats dean's back with a little chuckle and looks over his shoulder to check on this merry band of searchers ]

[mercyless]

[ who's merry. no one. ]

[inenochian]

[ i'm not confined to human legs for the duration of like. this thread. after this it's all over. let me have this. ]

[ keeps staring at everyone in their little group in turn, just squinting at their faces like he's memorizing them. because he's hopeful it'll work, even if he doesn't say so. ]

[sawedoff]

[arent you all a gleeful bunch]

[glances back before sweeping flashlight beam over the room at the top of the stairs. guide me npc. what wonderful lands am i trespassing into]

[aldebaranshit]

[its dusty and shit]

[no its another short chamber with double doors, light is shining through the pretty stained glass that's framing the door. might be it]

[dices]

[ all this dust is making his throat itchy. makes that horrible rraagghh sound you do when you're trying to scratch your throat from the inside

looks at the door and squints, before looking at cas. see now you can do your houdini thing ]

[inenochian]

[ or you could do your human thing and like. open the door's handle. with your hands. ]

[ either or. ]

Did they think to lock up after themselves.

[mercyless]

[ she has a lot of experience when it comes to breaking into abandoned buildings. it could be locked since they bothered to cover the furniture and all. ]

[ tries the handle. ]

[sawedoff]

[unholsters weapon just in case there's any cat jumping out of locker moments. not literal cats. he's not going to shoot a kitty. what's wrong with you]

[gotchor back. waits in suspense. the big unveiling? yes?]

[dices]

[ holds a hand up ready to do some forcefield shit in case there's a kitty attack

i mean cat jump. ]

We ready, then?

[aldebaranshit]

[its unlocked]

[door squeaks itself open to the glass room. the machine itself takes up nearly the entire room with all its brassy fixtures and components. you can hear the soft sobs of the fog babies echoing in the large tubes situated at 4 corners of the room. they look empty, but little whisps now and then makes their presence known]

[mercyless]

[ nooo not those guys again. pushes the door open all the way. ]

Guess that's it.

[ using machinery with fog babies? that's just asking for trouble. no wonder the city was abandoned. ]

[inenochian]

[ that's what you get for eating my coat you lil shits. ]

[ strides on in to go and inspect the little fogbaby torture chambers. ]

[rhymeswithdesign]

The hell is this?

[taps on the glass. when did he get here?

makes a face at a face in the fog.]

[ladybirdbook]

[sobs]

[tears fall into the bottom of the tube down a little pipe into the floor]

[dices]

Wow, I had almost forgotten they existed. [ wary glance. looks at dean. ] Still creepy shits, huh?

[sawedoff]

[holsters gun and steps sideways around to circle the tubes like everyone else. make the fuck is this, the fuck is that faces.]

So a rejected schematic from Wild Wild West is gonna save us. Awesome.

[at least there's no musical numbers. circles back around to look for a way to operate it]

[rhymeswithdesign]

What are they, ghosts?

[taps a little harder. frowns at dean over his shoulder because he only saw like one episode but he didn't like it and what's with dean and shitty tv anyhow.]

Sure beats ritual human sacrifice, though.
