"I was just wondering if I could run around, is all." He tried to angle his head around to see what would be the best pile of scrap to salvage a makeshift board from. He was destined to surf this scrap. Shouldn't be too dangerous.
"I just came here to take a look around. Maybe find something interesting." Vance put his hands behind his head as he took a look around. He still believes the ghost thing is a false.

The man looks at you for a second before grinning, "Jessie, eh," he says, "she was here last night," he shakes his head, "I'm Asherati, just call me Ash. You can go in through the door over there, just stick out of my gallery on the right side. At least when I'm not there. Anything you want to buy, just bring it up here and I'll work on a price. If you get hurt, just come here, I can help with most of the scrapes and bruises you're likely to get in there."
He shows you to the door, which seems to have been modified to look like a steampunk vault door, and it even works like one. He pulls a chain and a burst of steam fires off the gears and pistons inside to unlike the door, "Don't ask about the door, it was here before I bought the place."

The door looked awesome. Odin couldn't help but walk forward and give it a knock, just to hear the clang. Then, without a word, he hauled the door open.
"First come, first serve," he said with a slight grin, and dashed through the door. "I promise not to break anything. Of yours. Hey, Hisoka, follow me! I might show ya something interesting!"

For a brief moment when Ash smiled Lyn's brow wrinkled every so slightly. As he continued to introduce himself she kept quite, though Odin didn't wait long after he finished to take off. She started after him giving the smith a quick glance as she entered through the door. Her gaze forward and ready to take in the scrapyards sight, "Don't break anything of yours Odin!"
Spoiler
Rolling knowledge (arcane) for the previous check. (1d20+10)[28]
And a sense motive on the multi-eye colored Guy. (1d20+8)[26]
Vance thanks the man for letting them go in. Vance follows Odin through the door. Compared to Odin, he walks carefully and slowly. He wants to be very careful not to break anything. He decides to check the area nearby for the possibility of getting something of value.
Spoiler
Notice: (1d20+11)[27]

As you walk into the scrapyard, you almost immediately see what Jess was talking about. There's scaffolding, platforms on the scrap piles, and several other spots where it's possible to practice Parkour and more. The rest of the piles are mainly just metal items of various natures.

Vance´s mouth and eyes get wide open as he saw a small semi transparent creature behind one of the scrap piles. He cant speak a word by the surprise. It cant be, can it? There is no possibe way that ghosts exist, could they? Vance thinks. "A... a... gho.... ghost....." He struggles to say. It looks a little scared as it remains hidden. Vance decides to avoid calling any attention from his friends for the possibility of scaring them. He tries to get a little close.

"Oi, check this out!" Odin cried as he clambered up the pile of junk. There was a particularly large sheet of scrap that would work well as a board. "I'mma surf down this pile, see?" He made it onto the "board" and began rocking it back and forth, trying to force it down the slope of the scrap pile.

Lyn was searching through her own scrap pile when she spotted Odin climbing up a large hill. Watching odin from the bottom of the pile, "When you break your neck I'm not going to feel sorry for you!"
Hisoka followed Odin until he started climbing a particularly steep pile of scrap. He could barely keep up with the Irish boy in the first place, "If you think I'm going up there you're crazy."
He walked off on his own through the scrapyard, wondering why he never tried to come here before. The place was old, definitely much older than any of the usual places he went. In the long afternoon shadows, he felt that something was definitely here.
As you walk closer to the ghost, you see a little wing reach for the halo, grab it, and pull it down, if you had to admit it, it was cute. Otherwise, it doesn't make a move, and you can still see it's peeking through the gap in the scrap pile.
Hisoka
Spoiler
As you walk away from the others, you see something odd in one of the other piles. It looks like the hilt of a sword wrapped in dark violet cloth and silver wire. The pommel is an amethyst pendulum on a silver chain. What looks like the sheath barely peeks out from the pile, but you see runes, ones you've never seen before.
Lyn & Odin
Spoiler
As Odin climbs, he finds a piece of scrap that'd make a good makeshift scrapboard. It looks like it was originally the roof of a car.
Lyn manages to spot something else, what looks like a shield is resting near the very top. It's completely pristine, no wear, no tarnish, no scratches, and it is pollished quite brightly, but it doesn't seem to reflect as much light as its mirror surface would suggest.

Odin found that he could stand with his legs spread perfectly on the rusted hood of an disassembled car. He rocked forward until the hood started to shift.
"**** yeah!" he shouted as he began his treacherous descent.

Vance decides to get as close to the ghost as possible believing that the creature doesnt have any evil intent. He still moves slowly to avoid scaring it. As he gets closer to the ghost, he starts to tremble. "...hi..." He says as he raises slightly his right hand.

Hisoka sees what looks what looks like the hilt of a Western-style sword with some strange writing on it. He approaches it to get a better look and reaches out to grab it before stopping himself. He looks around; Vance is nowhere to be seen and Odin appears to be attempting suicide. He carefully grabs the hilt by its cloth wrapping with both hands and slowly pulls the object from the trash heap. "What would this be doing here? How could anyone throw something like this away?"
Lyn moves over to Odin readying a high-five, "Woah! That was awesome!"
"You know if you did stuff like that more often people might think you were cool." She starts grabbing the hood, "Lets take it back to the top and do that again."
The ghost makes a quick "eep" noise, before ducking further down, before slowly poking back out at him, "he-hello," it says, waving a wing as if it was a hand, the other holding the gold halo that was over its head earlier. Its voice is soft, quiet.
Hisoka
Spoiler
The sword pulls from the sheathe, and you see why it was discarded, the blade, which looks like a European Broadsword, is snapped partway up the blade, looking like it was cut rather than snapped. It is still almost two feet long and obviously sharp, but it's broken. A number of gold inlaid runes run down the blade and its blade is a dark blue color. Funny thing is, it seems to be, pulsing, at the same pace as your own heart, which seems to be easier to feel since you grabbed the sword.
Now that you're closer, you see that the runes on the sheathe aren't runes, it's a crest of some sort. You also see the rest of the blade inside the sheathe. You recognize the runes on the sword, they're an archaic form of Kanji, but you can't make sense of them, even if you recognize individual parts of it.
Lyn & Odin
Spoiler
When you look again, the shield is actually a mirror, a solid silver mirror inlaid in a dark metal backing. However, your reflection is a little odd, off, but you can't tell what it is.
Odin is right behind you, but doesn't seem to notice anything odd about the mirror.

Odin slapped the offered palm, his adrenaline pumping.
"Hell yeah I should do it again, c'mon!" he shouted, taking the hood from Lyn and running back up the scrap with her ahead of him. He nearly fell over when she came to a sudden stop, staring at something shiny. He angled his head around her to see a large mirror. "Hm? What's this, then?" he asked, leaning forward to get a better look. "I can't surf this."

"Hm? What's this, then?" he asked, leaning forward to get a better look. "I can't surf this."
Her gaze on the mirror she slowly lets down the hood, "Course not dufus you'd break it in half." She bends over to pick it up, giving it a quick glance before handing it to Odin. "Something seems weird about it, maybe it's a trick mirror."
Hisoka holds the sword up to the light. It seems to be glowing, though that may be a trick of the light. The crest on the hilt is like no other crest he has ever seen before. The writing on the sword is now legible, it seems to be some ancient form of Japanese, however its meaning is incomprehensible.
His heart is now pounding with excitement and the sword seems to be responding to his touch. He looks around for the others, Vance is still nowhere to be seen, however Lyn and Odin are now looking at something together.
He calls out to the others in a voice shaking with unusual emotion, "Hey, I found something!"
"Yes," the ghost says, coming out a little farther and letting go of the halo, which instantly floats back over its head, "I'm Shou Shou, who are you?" it asks, tilting its head to the side, which looks more like a shift in the position of its facial features and halo.
Lyn, Odin, & Hisoka
Spoiler
The mirror seems like an ordinary mirror, but something is off with Lyn's reflection, it doesn't seem to affect Odin though. Other than that, it's completely ordinary. However, when Hisoka comes into view, the border seems to darken and the "off" feeling of the reflection becomes more profound.

"Hey, Hisoka, check this out. The mirror doesn't like you."
Honestly, though, the mirror was confusing. Why was it doing that? Was it a trick of the light? And why wouldn't it work for him? He tapped his forehead on it in frustration, though was careful not to break it.
Lyn looking over Odin's shoulder, "That's really weird." She ducks back behind Odin out of view of the mirror than pops up on his other side to look at it again. "Hey careful not to break it, it'd be awesome to have a trick mirror in our pad. Here let me check something, trick mirrors normally have funny backs."
Hisoka walked up to Lyn and Odin, who were gathered around a strange mirror.

The mirror did not behave like any other mirror Hisoka had ever seen. It seemed to deepen and distort as he got closer to it.
"I see you found something too", he said raising the broken sword in front of him.
The mirror seemed to darken and distort even more, it began to look less like a reflection as he grew ever closer. His mind began to race again. Still holding the sword in one hand, he reached out to the mirror and ran a finger over the smooth, uncanny surface.

"What I am? I'm a spirit," it says, actually coming all the way out and floating over. It offers a wing, "nice to meet you Vance. Are you one of Eni's friends?"
Lyn, Odin, & Hisoka
Spoiler
The moment the sword's reflection comes into view, you see that something is more than off. A flowing aura that looks like flowing water is around the blade. It's clear, but obviously noticeable, like a heat haze, only it moves like water. The border of the mirror, instead of darkening, seems to brighten, but more like how much light it catches and reflects.

Another Acrobatics roll. Holding the mirror may make balance difficult.
