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.]

[Though rather resistant to low temperatures, Arcueid still finds herself glad she always wears that sweater. Taking a moment to steel herself, Arcueid begins marching in the direction of the humming. She tries to carefully pick her way through the darkness, keeping as quiet as possible, not wanting to be caught off-guard by any nasty surprises.]

[mayfield_mods]

[There's a faint glow emitting from the corner that the humming is from.]

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid approaches slowly, attempting to reach out with every spiritual/otherworldly sense she has as well as keeping her physical senses sharp. She'd heard a few things mentioned about this Dairy since she had come back to town, and she wasn't about to take any chances.

She wants to know just what the heck is going on, especially before any humans come to harm trying the same thing.]

[mayfield_mods]

[She won't sense much; if there is anything otherworldly or spiritual to detect, it's probably being blocked off by the translucent forcefield surrounding the enormous steel vat and electric generator that the humming is coming from.]

[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]

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

[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.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The forcefield shudders and sparks, before finally giving way. However, Arcueid won't be able to appreciate it; she will be droned for 6 hours.]

with mun permission, to try resuming the investigation

[ex_seventh238]

[She initially left the dairy with Crowe after the boy got droned for trying to break the force field. At least he didn't get hurt, she supposed, and she could take what she's seen and pass it on as a warning to others who may attempt to do the same once she returns. The drone won't get itself killed, at least. Ciel didn't plan on assaulting the place from the start, but she can't sit still if there's any chance for her to provide some support.

She usually makes it there on time. ...But then again, Shiki used to get in trouble often enough to make it hard to miss. She could feel Arcueid nearby, and she has increased her pace the moment she realized the True Ancestor has indeed decided to investigate the place, but when she sprinted into the generator room where she kept watch over not too long ago, it's an empty and cheery shell that stepped out - again.

There's a difference now, however. It seems that thoughtlessly bashing through things with sheer overwhelming brute force is really the one thing Arcueid flawlessly excelled at. Frowning briefly as she glances towards the back and witnesses herself that the force field has effectively been shattered - at least for now, she focuses back on Arcueid.

That airhead vampire is not there anymore to realize the opportunity she's created. Ciel is familiar with this, recalling Archer's droning several months back. Maybe that's why... She will step up now, and at least give her own attempt so that this chance doesn't slip past completely wasted.

...]

Arcueid?

[tsukihime]

Oh, Mrs. Slick whatever are you doing here? If you don't get home soon your husband will be going without dinner!

Oh gosh goodness, the same goes for me! I really must be going, but please give your regards to your family for me!

[Arcueid quickly skitters off, heading right back home with that creepy empty smile on her face.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The forcefield is shattered, but the machine itself looks fine. It is a large vat connected to a generator, and the humming is now very loud.]

[ex_seventh238]

[She didn't even have the time to shoot off an excuse, that stuff may already be boiling in the stove or the oven is being pre-heated. After giving her a vapid beam, the blonde woman quickly made her way out of the dairy to head home.

She takes a second to consider going after her, while Arc's light footsteps quickly fade from the dairy.

...

That vampire is going to be okay. Ah, risks have to be taken once in a while. Maybe she SHOULD borrow a page out of that reckless blonde's book and just go at it, for once. She won't make a habit out of it, but it should be fine, this is a special case.

Taking in a quick breath, she will try to walk through the area where the force field previously covered, starting with just a step over. There doesn't seem to be any additional resistances, but there's no way to know for sure other than doing it yourself.

If there's nothing, she'll try to take a closer look at the generator first. Having been here back in April, she's not sure she wants to check the vat right away. Does it look at all alike, to the same generator others saw during April Fool's last year?]

[mayfield_mods]

[It looks very much like it, although not exactly the same-- it's difficult to tell whether the difference is just because it has obviously been shot at and damaged. There is a sign on it that says Do Not Touch in handwriting.

She'll be able to get close with no resistance, but the generator is very hot.]

[ex_seventh238]

[Narrowing her eyes, she'll try to look for a control panel/console/anything that may serve to regulate the generator while keeping a distance. She's no genius engineering, but anything that could hint towards a power setting or shutting it off may be helpful.]

[mayfield_mods]

[There doesn't seem to be anything of the sort; the generator disappears into solid wall.]

[ex_seventh238]

[She'll look for anything like a conduct that'd link to somewhere else besides the vat, then. There was something embedded in the ground last time... Going to be checking the walls, too.]

[mayfield_mods]

[It seems like whatever had been embedded in either the ground or the floor is now gone.]
