Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
Eastside - Hospital Site
The shadows seems to be playing games before your eyes in the light of the burning nursery, turning into the shapes of men and women squirming against the ground. Almost like they are wearing long chains of shadow leading into the burning building.
But other then shadows the parking seem to lie empty. You probably have to enter the main building or look around the other parts of the campus before you get any clues of what just happened here.
Entering the main building will get you to the lobby and what appears to once have been the cafeteria. It looks like someone have torn off everything off the shelves in there.
There is a corridor which eventually lead to an intersection, the corridor splitting three ways. A map shows that the left corridor leads to the delivery entrance, the left leading deeper into the main building while the corridor in front of them leads to the elderly ward.
Teq and Estella will likely notice that her tattoos are glowing once again, just like they did back in the boiler room. This time the necromancer will realize that they are being watched by something as they hear a loud crash coming deeper inside the hospital.
Anyone outside the main building will hear the sirens of the fire department. They might also notice the dark silhouette of something laying on the ground.

I assume it's the right not the second left that leads deeper into the building.
Estella looks at her tattoos, frowning. "Something's going on agai-" Then the crash sounds. She jumps and looks toward the right corridor. "I guess we know where we're going now."

Since Teq and Estella are inside, I guess Cierra is outside checking out that dark silhouette on the ground. She'll approach it cautiously.

Cierra crouches down to pick up the camera, pausing to glance left and right before taking it into her hands and looking it over.

It's a digital camera with a band strap and a little note attached to it.

Cierra reads and then tucks the note into her pocket, then checks the camera to see if any pictures have been taken.

Checking the camera will reveal that a lot of pictures have been taken, all of them of the hospital and all it's sections. She might notice the last one is of the nursery.
Meanwhile the fire department seems to have arrived and Cierra can hear the fire trucks stopping at the parking lot and how hoses are being pulled.

Cierra sticks the camera in her bag and goes to find Teq and Estella.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
Teq doesn't even flinch. Not because he isn't startled, merely because he's a little better at controlling such impulses. The 'half-orc' glares toward the crash. With a flicker of motion, Teq draws his khopesh and proceeds down the corridor.

As the two go down the corridor to investigate the noise they will hear footsteps coming from further away from the hall in the opposite direction of the last sound. It sounds like someone is briskly walking rather then someone running away however.
It's followed by the grating of a door being opened.

Teq gives her a glance and nods to the affirmative. He's done it before, and it shows in his practiced manner.
The half-orc crouches low and slips forward to see, his footsteps nigh inaudible. He holds the sword to the side, fingers wound tight around the hilt.Last edited by Murkus; 2011-11-13 at 10:27 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI

Following this sound will lead eventually them to open door which seems to have the one that opened. It seems to lead into a dark corridor without any windows.
As they step inside they can they can't still see the person who opened the door but suddenly they hear a PLING! as a elevator door opens right next to them.
Cierra won't find the two at the entrance at the very least. Looks like they gone elsewhere.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI

Teq's head whips to the side when the elevator doors open, and he straightens to his full height. He'll poke his head inside briefly, examining the interior, before retreating.
"Well I'm not getting aboard." Teq says, giving Estalla another glance. The spirit clearly wants them to go inside, and if it has some sort of malicious intent, an elevator would be the perfect spot.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Mouse sighs. "Admittedly, I used to be an AMENite for a short period of time. Considering that you know how Gordon is, you can see why it was a short lived escapade. Especially with a few others involved such as Prometheus, Riv, and Moff Prime. I'm not the only one they've chased off either."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Radiant Ocean ==> Exit]
As they leave the building, Harnel says, "It's right where I showed you last time. Except now, there's an actual building on top of it. Or, rather, several. Come on, I'll show you!" And he takes to the air, seeming rather excited.

"I will was infused with a great deal of aether at the time Harnel, the world looked a bit different back then... and my hair was red for some ungodly reason." Cessie comments as they leave the manor with an added laugh, Harnel's mood rubbing off on her.
To the home thread, yeah.

The elevator isn't going anywhere, just standing there, waiting. They could continue down the corridor though if they aren't planning to enter it.

Ilpholin and Mister Squiggles ride up to the front door of the Manor, the former holding a scowl on her face. When they reach the front, Ilpholin hops off, steps forward and knocks on the door.

"Where else do we look then? This is our best bet for finding out what's going on here." Estella reasons. She doesn't want to waste the opportunity.
[Exbourne Manor]
Looks like Maria is still hanging around the front door for whatever reason. Or at least near enough that it's her that answers the door for Ilpholin. "Can I help you?" She asks, a tad distractedly. She's got things on her mind.

At some point, Cierra might catch up with Teq and Estella. I'm not sure when, though.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI

Riverside seems a fair bit more stable than Nexus, Grace decides, at least in most ways. This unfortunately meant she could only take the Riftline out to the outskirts, as she couldn't exploit its dimensional instability.
So, she walks through the city, attempting to locate Cierra's address. She wrote directions for herself, even looked at a map, but she still felt a bit lost, having never been here before.
Hopefully she'll come to the right place before long, however- wherever that is.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Westside - Cierra's Loft]
Cierra's place is relatively easy to find; it looks like a old riverfront industrial warehouse converted into an apartment building. The brick exterior seems in good condition, although the door could use another coat of paint. When she knocks, she hears a shout, "Oh, it's open!"
The large open interior is rather densely packed with bookshelves, tables laden with equipment and materials, and odds and ends. The floor is covered with various mismatched, beaten up rugs in an attempt to liven up the place. One wall seems to be devoted to ham radio equipment, and the only sign of domestic comforts is a bare mattress with a sleeping bag on top of it in one corner.
Cierra is sitting in front of the radio table, one hear pressed to some headphones. "Um, I'm sorry, something came up real quick. Can you give me a moment?"

"Of course."
Grace smiles politely and attempts to find somewhere relatively clean to sit. Honestly, the room seemed much more like a workshop than part of a home, and it put Grace a bit off balance. She wasn't sure if she should take interest in the various odds and ends or not, or whether she should pay attention to what Cierra was currently doing.
She settles for pulling out her phone and focusing on it instead.

Teq sighs. He knows she's right. But it's playing right into this thing's hands.
"Fine."
That said, he steps aboard. He glances at the available floors.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Westside - Cierra's Loft]
Cierra fiddles with the radio for only a moment more before spinning around, a smile on her face. "Sorry about that. Stuff just keeps... popping up around here! So, um... can I get you anything? A drink, maybe?"
