Hydroelectric plant, right leg (without foot)

[linquere]

"A troublesome Bug, harrying a cow. Its tail flicks and you’ve been squashed flat."

Between the gears, her right leg is stuck but lacks the foot.

Seifer, Gracia, possibly Hitsugaya and idk anyone else who wants to tag along?

[inyourgarden]

Seifer had told everyone who was coming along with him to meet up at the park in front of the school on the appropriate day. Maybe going alone would have been the easier thing to do, but as much as Seifer's confidant in himself, he's also not stupid. He has his suspicions about what they're going to find, but going to a dangerous area by himself where he could very possibly be wrong about what might be waiting there is a move too stupid even for him. Maybe his posse isn't in Discedo, but there are other people he trusts with his life, if not his sorceress. In a team is the right way to go about this. Sheer irony that he's the one instigating this all things considered.

Still he's waiting in the park with his gunblade, ready to go. He's a little early, but honestly he wants to get this over as quick as possible. Something just tells him there's going to be a mess to clean up afterwards.

we're going on a field trip, we're going on a field trip

[kagayakashi]

The park wasn't too far away from where she currently resided, so she was certain she wouldn't be late no matter what time she got ready. But the nerves and the idea of actually meeting a scientist won over logic to keep sleeping, and so as early as the crack of dawn she was up and about, readying everything she could. She armed herself with her weapons again, and decided to dress in the most comfortable fashion possible. No cape this time. To be honest, there wasn't much she to prepare since she lacked items, and shrugged her pacing around the apartment as nothing but anxiousness.

She had so many questions for them and she probably had so little time to ask them all.

Gracia said her goodbyes to her roommates and walked briskly towards the park, a familiar area she seemed to be passing by often to relax or to hear herself think. Her gaze was on the ground she stepped on, so it came as a bit of a shock to see a man already there, waiting with a hint of impatience. Blinking, she walked over to him and took a wild guess; "Seifer?"

A field trip of trauma~! ANd sorry I'm so late!

[ten_no_ryuu]

Once he'd gotten the few members of the watch spread out over the city as best as he could, Hitsugaya had left the police station and headed for the park to meet up with Seifer and whoever else the other man had roped into coming along. He walked with his arms tucked into his sleeves; Hyourinmaru a comforting weight on his back. It was times like these that he longed for the dragon's wisdom; but would have to go without.

He arrived at around the same time as Gracia, eyes narrowed. The city felt...off, today.

Seifer does no other kinds of field trips fff! And it's no problem ♥

[inyourgarden]

'Roped into coming along'? That hurts Hitsugaya. Seifer nodded at Gracia's question and raised his hand to make sure he caught Hitsugaya's attention. Good to see everyone was so prompt. Made things easier.

"You got it, Gracia. Hitsugaya. Ready to go?"

Not even waiting for an answer or to make sure they were following he shouldered his gunblade and started out for the hydroelectric plant. Time to take care of this.

"Either of you been in this place before?"

♥ Traumatic ones just are the best kind. Any kind of posting order here?

[ten_no_ryuu]

Walking just a couple paces behind the other two in order to bring up the rear, Hitsugaya looked around, keeping an eye out for trouble. He'd been out this way once, to get a look around the city, but had only seen it from the rooftops. Everything had a way of looking different from ground level.

"I cannot say I even know what this...hydroelectricity is."

...YOU ALL SAW NOTHING /shifty eyes. lolol um how about seifer > hitsu > gracia? :D

[kagayakashi]

"I've been around the area once or twice, but I couldn't go exploring because there were too many monsters." She replied, keeping her pace about three steps to Seifer's left. When she heard Hitsugaya's reply, Gracia had to nod to that as well.

"Me neither. I don't know what that is too." Her time certainly had no such infrastructure laying around.

Fff of course not and that works for me :3

[inyourgarden]

It seemed Seifer had something of a head start on this then. During his time in Discedo he had poked his nose into every area possibly poke-able. The hydroelectric plant was no exception, monsters or not. He was a bit surprised that neither Hitsugaya or Gracia knew what hydroelectricity was, but it wasn't as if they were the first people he'd met who seemed to come from a more dated society than his own

Works for me, too. AND FFFFF LJFAIL. I didn't get the notif. T^T

[ten_no_ryuu]

Going by Seifers description, electricity sounded like lightning. Hitsugaya had seen the damage a Byakurai could cause, so he'd be sure to steer clear of the areas they'd been warned about. He caught the flashlight on reflex, giving it a a cursory look over to try and figure out how to work it, then nodded.

"No questions." Just beginning to wonder what was that faint smell was. Probably some monster having made off with a kill.

LJ's been at it for a week ;A; /CONTINUES TO SUE IT.

[kagayakashi]

She imagined electricity as well, and it seemed she had the same idea as her other companion. "Oh, like lightning and thunder?" She mentioned out loud while agreeing silently on how potent a weapon it was. If she didn't have the chip that stopped her powers, lightning would be one of her many magic tricks.

"Um, I mean, no questions too!" She fiddled with her flashlight for a bit, before finally figuring out how to switch it on and off. (Humorously, she also momentarily blinded herself because she was curious as to what was making the light.)

Before entering the dark, desolate plant, Gracia turned to Hitsugaya and smiled quickly. "By the way, I'm Gracia. Nice to meet you. Let's be careful in there, alright?"

...I didn't get notifs for any of this >>; guess LJ hates this thread

[inyourgarden]

Gracia's antics pulled at the corners of Seifer's mouth, but he was too focused on what was ahead to appreciate them in full. At the door to the plant he stopped and gave it a quick check over, not only with his eyes, but with his fingers, feeling for trick wires or other hidden traps. He didn't truly expect to find anything, and he didn't, but he'd rather be safe than screwed. It was one thing if he charged through a door that might possibly trigger an explosive. It was quite another if he charged through such a door with Gracia and Hitsugaya following behind.

Satisfied that it wasn't trapped he led the way inside, taking a moment to let his eyes accept the darkness. "Did the two of you bring your communicators?"

LJ hates all fun threads. >_<

[ten_no_ryuu]

Hitsugaya frowned in sympathy for Gracia when she turned the light on while it was facing her eyes, but nodded in her direction at the introduction.

"Hitsugaya. Mind where you step and we should be fine." With that out of the way, he watched as Seifer did something at the door. Maybe opening it would set off an alarm or something, but walking on the side of caution couldn't hurt with everything as chaotic as it was.

"I have mine with me." And he does, tucked into the small pouch where his communicator from back home normally went, right on the inside lining of his top. While Gracia answers the question, Hitsugaya manages to turn on his flashlight and peers over Seifer's shoulder, the beam not lighting much of an area, but allowing them to see the first few feet inside where the daylight won't reach.

/shakes fist at LJ. i hope it chokes on all our notifs :|d

[kagayakashi]

She couldn't watch in detail what Seifer did to make sure their path was safe, on account of her temporarily blurred vision that seemed to also color her path with numerous purple, green and red dots. She rubbed her eyes with one hand while pointing her flashlight in front of them with the other, finally regaining some of clarity in her gaze.

"I brought it just in case we need to call for help." She answered, looking around and doing her best to feel for anything suspicious or dangerous that could attack them. The eerie silence and the suffocating darkness brought small goosebumps up to her arms and neck, but she shook it off and kept on walking, forcing herself to be alert.

"Why would the scientist choose this place to meet us out of all the other places in the city?" She mused. It didn't make much sense to her. The Hydroelectric plant was much too scary for a simple meeting. So why here?

[inyourgarden]

"Good." Seifer lowered his gunblade from his shoulder, a sign that he wasn't expecting this to be a peaceful visit. "Then spread out. You find anything, use your communicator. You get into trouble I think you know you're free to yell."

Pulling a final flashlight out of his coat, Seifer paused. "As for why meet here... it's cause this ain't no meeting. You should probably know I'm not expecting to find our scientist friend alive."

More captive Notifs. Didn't get Seifers. o_0 Either of you wanna find that part?

[ten_no_ryuu]

Hitsugaya tried to not let it show on his face, but Seifer's words made him tense up. He'd had a bad feeling after those parts had shown up, and an even worse one since that post from Grendel. He said nothing as he walked off to explore a section of the plant, ready to draw Hyourinmaru from his sheathe in a hurry if he needed too.

The plant was quiet, but that didn't explain that scent like rotting meat. Had a monster gotten in with a kill and left some behind? With a frown on his face, Hitsugaya clicked his communicator onto voice to reach his companions.

"Do either of you smell that?"

is LJ fixing something today? ;3; oh but she can find the gears and call them to find the arm?

[kagayakashi]

That wasn't exactly the answer she was looking for, or expecting. With a frown firmly set on her face, Gracia decided to take the opposite direction from both of the men, a slight wet warmth greeting her as she walked towards a set of destroyed control panels and broken glass. Why would they kill one of their own? None of what was happening made her understand anything, but she was certain they'd find something relevant. This was definitely no wild goose chase, as far as she was concerned.

She didn't know what that quiet grumbling (growling?) was, but she knew where it came from; and at Hitsugaya's statement through the communicators, Gracia definitely sensed creatures gathering near her direction.

"...It smells really bad." She coughed after her reply, and used her flashlight to light the way forward. Shadows were stirring near a large area filled with strangely shaped circles. "I think it's coming from here. Did anybody find anything?" Depending on their answer, she would either stay away or keep moving.
