event: break-in

[mayfield_mods]

[Anyone who drops by the dairy between the hours of three PM and five PM on Tuesday will find that the door's been unlocked. Even though the door's shut, there's a strange humming sound coming from inside the building.

Careful if you want to try to peek inside, though. You may not like what you find.]

Comments

[tsukihime]

[After taking a closer look at that forcefield, and a cursory look around to make sure nobody else was about, Arcueid's going to try to lay a hand on that forcefield. She's typically not one to have to worry about permanent harm, so it's always best to just charge in like an idiot.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The generator's also inside the forcefield; he can try to get a closer look at it, but there doesn't seem to be anything too abnormal about it.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The knife clatters to the ground when it hits the forcefield - there's a small scratch on the surface from where it hit, but otherwise the field looks unharmed.

The second Bel throws the knife, he is droned for 6 hours.]

[Chell's stubborn and she's gotten this far. Who knows, maybe this will lead to finding a way out of this strange town?

She starts carefully walking forward, putting her hands out and occasionally sweeping the to the sides, looking for anything in her way or something she could hold onto to help lead her through the building, like pipes or a shelf.

Chell's getting to the bottom of this one way or another, she's glad that if sommething goes terribly wrong that death isn't permanent here, but she'd rather it not come to that.]

[echidna]

Be careful... [ She looks between the two, following at a slower pace, creeping behind them and finding herself unable to look away from the glow. ]

What happened when you hit it?

[fthisgetmecigs]

[Having been..No. Being in the business of information brokering and being in places he shouldn't belong, Badou's no stranger to the whole breaking and entering thing. He's going solo and he figures it's better. What with everyone milling around in packs and shit but if someone spots him and decides to tag along, he won't begrudge them.

Granted not all of his B&E attempts have been successful or without injury. Still, this is pretty big stuff going on so he has to check this out. He's got a flashlight, his gun tucked in it's holster, a good amount of bullets and some rope. Because you never know.

He's creeping along the side walls, trying to see if he can see anything through the windows.]

[And it's here that the Riddler begins to record.]

January 24th. Shortly after 3 PM. Not much of the Dairy's interior appears to have been altered since this past March, nor do there appear to be any signs of Officer Jack Smith or any additional law enforcement. For now, anyway.

The interior is dank. Cold. Quiet. With the exception of a low hum emanating from somewhere within. [He allows a pause, to allow some of the Dairy's ambient noise to be recorded.] And if my suspicions are correct...

[He heads closer and closer to the glow.]

[hintcoinplz]

Hmm...

[Well since he can't get through the forcefield, Luke will start searching around the room.]

[mayfield_mods]

[It feels like a solid, slightly warm wall.]

[strike_you_out]

It exploded and tiny lights floated out. They were souls -- I could hear them.

[beamiracle]

[Lion has never gone inside the dairy, but he figures it's about time he did. And this time he isn't going unarmed, since he salvaged one of the hatchets wielded by the cannibals back from when Mayfield was a wasteland. It's not much, and it isn't as though he's ever been trained in combat, but it's something.

Lion managed to solve a mystery before, with Will's help. He can at least do his best to solve another.]

[mayfield_mods]

[As they get closer, they'll be able to see that the glowing is coming from a translucent forcefield. Within it is what appears to be the same enormous steel vat and generator from last time; the only things new are the forcefield and a sign reading DO NOT TOUCH that has been taped up to the front of the vat.]

[princecreepshow]

[ Oh god, Hibari this will be weird. Because the smile he's giving Hibari is actually kind. ]

[mayfield_mods]

[He won't find much other than a few empty liquor bottles and a couple of screwdrivers here and there.]

[eyesofaserpent]

Bloody hell it's dark in here. Did either of you bring a torch?

[Even for someone like him with built in night vision it's dark. Still, he creeps in slowly, careful not to run into anything.]

It sounds like machinery of some sort...

[bitetodeath]

[ What. the. hell. ]

Oi, Fake Prince.

[ He grips his tonfa, ready to attack the prince at any moment. ]

[sir_hellsing]

[The scent of sweet tobacco is in the air, a warm, pleasant contrast with the cool wintery breeze.]

I should have known I might find you here.

[Don't look now, there's a 9mm aimed for your head, Major. Intrigue had brought Integra around to the dairy, but it wasn't a lack of bravery that kept her from investigating further- with even half the town intending to take a look, she was not at all eager to wind up crushed should something go awry.

Now, it seems, she has something greater to deal with.]

[timeinhishands]

[The footsteps stop right there and it took him a moment to process who's voice that was before responding and moving towards it.]

It's me. I'm coming here alone. What about you?

[ceasetoexist]

[Pokey just stops for a moment, and stares at it. That probably...is not good. He looks over to Slugger.]

Was that there last time?

[tsukihime]

[Yep, charge through like an idiot. Arcueid rears her fist back, opening up the claws in her right hand. She applies all the force, energy and power into that somewhat weakened True Ancestor's body she's got, and attempts to force a breach through that forcefield with a strike that could typically punch through a steel beam.

She also regrets for a slight moment she never listened to the off-handed lessons in magic the old man had tried to give her.]

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

[The Major's smile widens to a dangerous point, as if the sides would grow so large they would split his face. Slowly, his hand starts to move towards his own gun.]

Ah, you know me too well Integra! Indeed, indeed I was hoping you might come and watch with me.

[His eyes narrow a little bit, his face a pantomime of cruel, schoolboy pleasure.]

You never did answer on the phone.

Enjoying the cigars?

[midgardserpent]

[The darkness reminds him of the deepest parts of the ocean. But in this human form he can't see like he would in his natural form. So he walks forward carefully, listening to the strange sounds.]

[stages]

Indeed... [...] However, now, as then, it is unthinkable that an enemy that need conceal themselves would get the better of us.

[Except that Assassin sort of did, whoops. On the upside, it meant she got to bone Rin! So, y'know. Turned out pretty okay.

Saber furrows her brow, and sneaks a look in the direction they're heading.]

...what on earth is that sound...?

[heavenfang]

Awfully dark, don't you think? -Tir remarked, following up behind with staff in hand. He was mostly here for Lion's sake. Solving mysteries weren't exactly his forte.-

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

[And Shadow takes up the rear, constantly scanning the room for any sign of unexpected trouble.]
