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.]

[Given what they found in there last time, is it any wonder certain personifications and their family might have an interest. Death holds the door open for Susan]

[inthebones]

[Susan enters, bypassing the Major along the way and invisible to the other curious inhabitants of the town. ...Invisible to all but the one she had been expecting inside, of course.]

I thought this would be of some importance to you.

Shall we go, then?

[likescats]

YES. WE SHALL.

[Walking into the dairy then.]

[inthebones]

[And into the depths of the unknown they descend. Susan can feel nothing of souls from this point, but perhaps that would change.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The interior is dark and incredibly cold, even colder than it would be expected for a non-heated building in the middle of winter.

The humming of an electric generator may strike the two of them as rather familiar, although there's no feeling of souls yet.]

[inthebones]

[The obvious thing to do, of course, is to follow the humming noise. She keeps a hand on her sword as she continues further. Cold has never much bothered her.]

[likescats]

[Death is carrying his scythe of course. So far, no souls. That is a good thing at least.]

[mayfield_mods]

[As they get closer to the source of the humming, they may notice that the corner it's in seems to be slightly more well-lit than the rest of its surroundings.]

[inthebones]

Anything unusual, Grandfather?

[Susan speaks for the sole purpose of breaking the spell of eerie silence that had fallen around them. Not that it was unnerving. Merely to show that there was no reason not to conduct herself in any less than ordinary manner. She continues forward into the lit corner, straining her eyes.]

[strike_you_out]

[At some point inside, Death may spot his great grandson lurking in the cold shadows. Should their paths cross, Slugger will greet Death with a single nod... and a second nod to the "empty space" beside him, then continue on.]
