=>[MINI-META] The Leaning East Outgrowth

[ImaginationsParadise]

"What a dump." Eridia scoffed, pinching her nose to maintain the awful stench out. "I mean really? Why couldn't someone just toughen up and took this place for themselves?" She rolled her eyes then watched Mera scribble down her notes.

"Ahem, are you listening to me?" She stomped her foot as she always does, though this time the floor sank.

If Hemera was tuning Eridia out before, it would have cut out upon the floor sinking. More of that? Mera doubted even more that the foundation would last much longer with all the trolls snooping about.

She frowned at the situaton, and took more notes. She then snapped the notebook shut and looked at Eridia. "Yes, Eridia. I'm listening. Just, please, don't stomp anymore. The floor is rather fragile." Though if Eridia even knew how to handle anything delicately was a serious question.

"To answer your question, between the ghosts and the place falling apart, no one would want to live here. Too dangerous during the day, I would think. After the ghosts are cleared out, however, I wouldn't be surprised if it's put on the market as a fixer-upper." A lot of fixing-up, at that.

As she spoke, she caught sight of a chest. And something in it. Unnerved, she wanted to move along.

"Fiiine." She scoffed, looking around the armory. The highblood was sure she hadn't come in this block back at the ball. But that was because she had... something... to do down south. Anyways, here Eridia was, looking around the place and making sure not to sink the floor down any more. But the creaking made her anxious.

It only took one wrong step.

Eridia took something out of leather, only to notice it was something entirely made out of moss. It smelled terrible. She threw it to the side in total and utter disgust. "Hey, Moachm, have you found anything useful?"

Hemera looked at a piece of rubble she picked up. Was the childish notion that it resembled a face enough to make it worthwhile? "Not particularly," she responded, though pocketing the silly thing anyway.

The tealblood took another step, and rubble disappeared downwards. She grimaced. They were on thinner and thinner ice. "I believe...we might need to leave soon."

Eridia shakes her head disapprovingly.

As Eridia was shaking her head disapprovingly, something else had happened. She was going to go down again!

In a moment of fight or flight, Mera reached to grab the purpleblood and bring her back to safety...and then the floor gave.

Down they both went, Mera barely even having the time to register the fact.

Aconan cautiously re-entered the armory, making sure to try and keep to the sturdier sections of floor, though frankly it was difficult to tell what was sturdy and what wasn't. She was quickly distracted though, by the sight of what looked to be a chest half-buried into rubble. Carefully, she picked her way towards it, then recoiled back with a yelp as eyes glinted from within, and she backpedaled. Maybe not.

OBSTACLE: You reach for a moldy leather cuirass that has escaped pillaging, before realizing it's moist covered in smells.

Another cuirass caught Mihail's attention though... this one was just as gross as the last one. Honestly, what did he expect? This place was obviously picked clean of anything worthwhile.

It's rubble... That looks like a face!

Well, if she was going to find the other two, going to the place they last saw each other was the best bet. Zindel called out again, "Miss Lorata?" Zindel called out, "Lady Cygnet?" The redblood was just about to go find a drink or something when he found something.... interesting on the ground.

Mirrored Compact

It's amazing this trinket hasn't been looted yet. The item is small, but the craftsmanship is obvious. This compact is a hunk of pure silver and intricately engraved across its exterior. Somehow you feel prettier just holding it.

"Oh, good!" Odette clapped her hands together, thankful that she wasn't exploring on her own. "Could I... actually get that blunderbuss? I'd like to give it to Glamis, and put it out of harm's way, if I can."

Moving on to looking around for clues, Odette noticed a small trail of ants by her feet. "Cute!" She said, charmed by them. Maybe she'd take them with her. Children loved little bugs and ant farms.

Tragically, someone has already eaten most of this bread and left the crust. That's where all the nutrients are!

A medley!

8: ITEM! Notify staff in discord!

While their time spent in the trophy block hadn't been fruitless, Sarcel still felt... itchy to get back to investigating. They had all mutually agreed to call it a night after the floor had given out not once, twice, but three times. While no one had been significantly hurt, it was obvious that nerves were starting to wear down and exhaustion was starting to settle in.

Well, sort of.

Sarcel felt like she could've kept going, but that was just her anxiety creeping around the corners of her mind. She needed to get this entire ordeal over and done with. At least Elidae had decided to join them this time; this was good, she appreciated having the yellowblood at their side.

"Hm..." She hummed to herself as they entered the armory, her eyes semi-lidded as she looked around. Her hair looked vaguely distressed, as if she had forgotten to brush it. Despite that, her expression looked remarkably calm (if not somewhat tight around the corners of her mouth). "It seems like other groups have had similar troubles here as well..." She was mostly referring to the rotted holes in the floor, the obvious signs of rot in the dilapidated interior.

"Keep your wits about you, everyone." It didn't need to be said, but she said it anyway. Just as she was about to continue along, her boot found something underfoot. Reaching down, she cradled the small object in her hand. An apparatus with a button? Hm.

"Vidari," she looked over at the greenblood moments before lobbing the buzzer in his direction, "Catch."
