[Marisa caught up again after a moment of looking around carefully. She was taking no chances right now. She doesn't say a thing but now she is looking a bit distracted, looking around. If that coat was known to them..What else could be hiding around here? She walks a bit away, trying to keep a eye out ahead of them]

[then_there_were_none]

But...Pip didn't even send a letter, and Remi didn't mention him here, so...why?

[He didn't seem like the kind of person that got along with desk jobs, either.

She fluttered up to Cirno's shoulder anyway, zigzagging back and forth a bit to get a better look around the room. She doesn't find anything else she recognizes specifically, besides the coat still clutched in her arms.]

Did Marisa find something too?

[baka_jyanai]

-Meanwhile, Cirno runs off again, in rather desperate search of her family.-

KANTAROU! HARUKA! GET YOUR BUTTS OUT HERE!

[stardustreverie]

[Marisa found something alright, something that stopped her dead in her tracks. She quickly made her way to one of the desks and knelt down at a open drawer, reaching in with a bit of sadness crossing her face. She pulls out a very familiar blonde haired doll.]

....They got Alice too? But why would she leave this here...

[She was distracted for the moment but snapped out of it when she heard Flandre. She was quiet when she responded, really unsure of how to feel at this point.]

Yeah..I found one of Alice's dolls....Who all did they get?

[Although all that yelling...]

Eh? Where did Cirno go?

[then_there_were_none]

[The little vampire tilted her head a bit, at the little-er thing Marisa was holding. She didn't know that person that well, except as someone Patchouli mentioned sometimes.


...was she forgetting somethi-]

--Cirno! Where are you?

[And zipping off to follow the fairy's voice!

Through a wall, because finding the door would take time. And there might be one of those faces in it again.]

[baka_jyanai]

HARUKA! KANTAROU! WHERE ARE YOU?! GET OUT HERE!!

-She kept shouting, wandering the halls at nearly full tilt. She was vaguely aware of the others trying to go after her, but her focus was pretty much only on finding her family.-

[stardustreverie]

[If she had a moment to pause, she would have smacked her forehead but now was not the time. Marisa took off through the cubicles, slipping the doll into her hat as she did, getting to the door. She opened the door and thew a fire covered star at it but she was lucky for now, there was nothing there.]

Flandre! Cirno!

[She was worried, Because she could not see them. But she ran towards the yelling, hoping to at least keep close enough, even if she could not find them.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre at least would be easy enough to track: just follow the little-vampire-sized holes in the wall.

She's finally caught up with Cirno, though, this time fluttering right at the fairy's shoulder; none of this meandering around.]

Did you find anything? At all?

[--then her mind comes back to the other thing it had been pushed away from thinking about.]

Marisa! You're lost now!

[baka_jyanai]

They're not here...

-Cirno turned her attention to Flandre, then the are around them. She couldn't orient herself without windows. She really was lost.-

MARISAAAAAA!!

[stardustreverie]

[She paused in the hallway, looking around. She had kinda gotten lost in the hallways so she was, in fact, lost. Hearing her name echo from another hallway had her running down it.]

FLANDRE! CIRNO!

[Was that worry in her voice that she was letting out when calling out for both of them? Nah, Have to be imaging things. She stopped again when she couldn't hear anything again. Although now she was starting wonder if she was just getting herself even more lost then before because she had not seen a hole in the wall shaped like Flandre for a bit now]

[then_there_were_none]

Marisa!

[Flandre starts a bit when she hears the witch's voice, now distant-seeming; hadn't she been right behind her...?

But the little vampire is thinking ahead this time! It's one of her doppelgangers that splits away from the main one to flit away down the hall, following the voice. The other Flandre stays by Cirno's side.]

Marisa?

[The doppelganger scratches at one of the walls, where she thinks she heard Marisa's voice.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno clung to Flandre, looking as frightened as she refused to admit she was.-

[stardustreverie]

[Hmm? What was that noise? Marisa goes towards the scratching noises, knocking on the wall in response....although she is on total guard at the moment. This was not what she wanted to do while here.]

...That had better be you guys....

[then_there_were_none]

[Another doppelganger split away from Flandre to hold onto the coat, so that the main one could squeeze the fairy back and curl her wings around her. She frowned a bit, even as she closed her eyes; having them open and the doppelgangers around made her feel sick. That shivering was...bad. This kind was. Flandre wanted to make it stop.]

I can get us out still, Cirno.

[The vampire links her wings together on the fairy's back, like a second hug.


Down the hallway, the doppelganger scrabbling at the wall sounded much more triumphant.]

Marisa!

[And immediately picked up the pace, scratching away chunks of paint and drywall and splinters of wood until she could reach through the other side with one hand.

Tiny claws coming through the wall were probably not the best least-worrying thing at the moment, though.

But she's trying to be careful and not throw bits of rubble back at Marisa's face! That would be rude.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno nodded. But from the sound of it, they'd at least be together again. Still lost! But at least not alone.-

[stardustreverie]

[Marisa gets closer to the scratching and peers at the wall with a bit of confusion. When the claws start coming through though, she moves over to the side, putting a hand on the wall.]

Flandre?...Cirno? Are you guys over there?

[She sounded hopeful. She was hoping they would hear her, although the sound of her name certainly made her worry a bit less. She was bad at this chaperone thing and was quickly learning this fact. She had taken the doll out of her hat was holding it close as watched the claws coming through the wall]

[then_there_were_none]

You are there!

[The claws brace against the sides of the wall, where they can reach, sink in a bit--and pull backwards.

Part of the wall comes away with them, with the shrieking noise of breaking wood and drywall and cracking wire--until there's a bigger-than-Flandre-sized gap in the wall.

The main Flandre peeks one eye open.]

I found Marisa, Cirno.

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno silently nodded, clinging a bit less tight.-

Tell her I'm sorry...

[stardustreverie]

[She made sure to stand clear the instant he heard the groan of the wall and apprehension faded into joy as she stepped though the hole and spotted the doppelganger. She looked about and realized quickly what it was. She smiles widely, trying to hide the fact she was worried behind her usual grin.]

Alright, where to now?

[then_there_were_none]

[But first, Marisa gets a big hug. Flandre's still in that extra-careful people are made of glass mode, but still a hug. And the little vampire only lets go when they have to move again, to tug on her sleeve.]

This way, Marisa. Cirno says she's sorry.

[The main Flandre perks her head up; while she's since closed her eyes again, she turns her head as if to look and chirps anyway.]

Marisa is coming back this way now, Cirno.

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno nodded again. But there was still the fact that they were now lost. And it was her fault. She didn't even find any clues.-

[stardustreverie]

[A soft chuckle escapes her as she hugs back, returning the hug with relief.]

Tell her it's alright. I'm just glad you guys are alright while I was a bit lost. Don't need ta be losing everyone from home here now, We have enough people to be looking for, let alone each other.

[Marisa doesn't resist and follows at the tug on her sleeve. She is anxious to see with her own eyes. This place was bad enough with the hints just sitting out in the open, taunting and teasing.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre wasn't too concerned; she was holding Cirno and Cirno was holding her back and Marisa would be back soon so everything was right.

When they round the corner, the doppelganger disappears--one of them. The other is still holding the coat, and is the one that looks up at Marisa. But it's the Flandre holding Cirno that speaks.]

Everyone is back now.

[baka_jyanai]

But... where are we now?

[stardustreverie]

I dunno. But it we need to, we can just blast our way out, Just have to find a wall close to the outside.

[Marisa walks up to the two, slipping the doll back into her hat to free up her hand for the moment. This place had her on edge as it was.]

But that's up to you.
