H-hey! Put me down! I don't need to be carried like this! -Cirno flailed, obviously offended at Flandre's gesture.-

[stardustreverie]

[Marisa just laughs to herself a bit at Cirno's flailing. She follows close by, so that she would not lose sight of either one. She just offers up a serious but reasuring smile to Flandre]

That works too. This mist does not help so stay close, okay?

[She holds another ball of wind in her hand, ready to fire it off once the mist got too thick again. She was glancing about, trying to spot anything that would be moving, hostile or friendly.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Good thing someone's paying attention to their surroundings.]

But, this way you can fly!

[baka_jyanai]

Flandreee you're embarrassing me in front of Marisaaaaa

[stardustreverie]

[She's the chaperone. At least she's following some of the rules of that job! She hops upon her broom and starts to fly along, throwing the ball of wind into the mist to make it part again. At least they were getting closer to that building. She still is laughing a bit but it's dying down.]

Could be worse ya know. Aya could be here takin' pictures of this.

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre's grip changes slightly to a more possessive hug.]

Don't take pictures too, Marisa.

[The building is starting to take more recognizable form; like the City Hall building in Discedo, only not as wrecked and covered in graffiti instead.]

[baka_jyanai]

Whoa... It's like the building near the craters...

[stardustreverie]

Don't have a camera. Besides, Let's leave that to Aya, At least you'd know who to go after if somethin' came out.

[Her laughter finally over for now, peers at the building.]

Doesn't look too bad...Should we start here or move further in?

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre touches down on the flat roof, letting go of Cirno for now.]

There's a door here.

[And as she says this sets about to prying the roof access door open, hooking her claws into the metal and the handle and pulling. It's locked, but that doesn't mean much when one has the strength to crumple it like tinfoil.]

[baka_jyanai]

-That's her girl!-

I think Flandre wants to go in. So we're going in.

[stardustreverie]

[She dismounts her broom and pulls out the hakkero once more. They had not run into anything so far but she was not taking any chances.]

I'm followin' you two so lead the way.

[then_there_were_none]

[The door now resembling a sadly crumpled lid off of a sardine can, Flandre chitters one, in affirmation, then reaches out for Cirno's hand before cautiously starting down the stairs. Blank papers littered the stairwell and made things slippery, and there weren't many light sources for the rest of the stairwell save for Flandre's own glowing wings and eyes and whatever Marisa conjured up.

At the base, two flights down, there are also two doors. One says "fire escape, alarm will sound" and the other door's sign is missing.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno makes her best attempt at reading the sign, but she's obviously struggling to figure out what it actually means. Stupid English...-

[stardustreverie]

[Marisa walked up a moment later, taking the time to conjure up a small orb of light before moving forward. The orb floated near the brim of her hat for now. She peers at the sign for a good moment or two,]

Alarm huh...As much fun as that sounds, I think we might wanna take the quieter option.

1/2

[then_there_were_none]

[She tugs on the fairy's hand a bit.]

Let's go this way, Cirno.

[And she starts to pull open the other door, the one without the words on it.]

2/2

[then_there_were_none]

[Though instead of a normal empty doorframe, there's just a black void.

And a face. Which Flandre just stares at for a moment, at least until it reaches out and smacks the top of her head. That makes her jump and squawk and crowhop backwards.]

[baka_jyanai]

-You've never seen Cirno run away faster, screaming and grabbing Flandre to get away from what the hell ever that thing was.-

[stardustreverie]

[The face was enough to startle her into a fighting stance but Cirno's screaming? Not something she expected. That threw her into full out fight response and she lashed out with her broom and not a Spark, remembering that she could hurt Flandre or Cirno if she did. The broom harmlessly bounced off the frame and Marisa took a big hop backwards, trying to stay as far away from the thing as possible]

[then_there_were_none]

[Cirno had pulled Flandre backwards even further, and partway up the stairs again, until the next landing up where Flandre got her feet back under her from jumping and scrambling and being dragged.]

Marisa, Marisa, what's that?

[baka_jyanai]

-One would think living in Gensokyo, they'd be used to things like this... but this is Cirno and Flandre. An idiot and a basement dweller.-

Beat it up, Marisa! Beat it up!

[stardustreverie]

[Marisa considered the door for a moment, staying well out of the things reach. She put the hakkero away once more, deciding it wasn't necessary to blow it and whatever was behind that thing with a Spark. She held out her hand, forming the well known star danmaku around it.]

Not sure what it is...but it's goin' down!

[After forming a decent amount of the stars, she threw them at the door, trying to overwhelm it and to test how long it could stand up to the most basic of things. Although if this didn't work, she had another idea because this thing just kept on grinning through out the beating it was receiving from the stars.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre is torn between glancing back down the stairs and folding her wings halfway out and back again, as if deciding whether to take off or not. So she does both.]

...should we go back outside?

[She itches at her scalp, too, making quite sure that hit hadn't done anything to her head.]

[baka_jyanai]

No way! That's running away! I never run away from anything!

[stardustreverie]

[She was only half listening because this door was starting to annoy her. The basics were not cutting it. So she stopped her barrage of stars and gave it a momentary thought.]

Why run away from somethin' that should go down?

[She put her broom down, putting a foot on it to make sure it didn't get snatched or suddenly disappear on her. She held her hands together and muttered a incantation. A star formed in her hands but after a moment, it burst into flame. She flung the flaming star at the door, hoping to st least see SOME damage being done to the thing. It's smile was starting to annoy her.

[then_there_were_none]

...but, Cirno--

[She cuts herself off with another chitter, peering all the way down the stairwell.

The door disintegrates! Much like burning a piece of tissue paper. There are a few shreds of smoldering black left, but those are easy enough to brush away.]

Is it gone?
