Third Flight--[Video]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[The PDA clicks on, showing mostly Raven's cowled head at first and little else.]So I've been here about a month--I'm mostly addressing this to residents who've been here longer than I have, but any information would be helpful, really. I'm in the woods, so tread carefully....but has anyone else explored them? I found two houses...they sit next to

[Say hello to a new face, Raven. A perplexed one at that.]

... I've never see those before.

[smiling_dragoon]

Alright.

[It'll take him some time to find the houses, but eventually a boy in a long black coat moves quietly into view. He's carrying a kind of ridiculous amount of stuff on him and has two pistols holstered at his back.

... Okay, the girl is floating. Weird.]

Hello, Raven-san. [Smiling a bit awkwardly as the "-san" slips out. He's just so used to saying it.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[It's ok, she's weird--and creepy, but one of the good guys. Just don't make her mad.]

Okumura-san

[Yep, gonna come back to standing now, no more floating. See? she's normal....don't think she's seen even Robin carry that much stuff.]

I think you're probably prepared.

[Approving sarcasm, granted. ^^]

[smiling_dragoon]

[Weird, yes, but not really creepy. Yukio's seen far too many disturbingly creepy things to classify Raven as such.

He chuckles lightly as he draws near.]

Probably. It's necessary in my line of work.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Give her time, Yukio, give her time.]

That, is refreshingly familiar.

Do you want to go first, or should I?

[smiling_dragoon]

[Yukio draws out one of his pistols and checks the clip. He handles the weapon like a soldier, his posture shifting even straighter as he prepares for their little "assault".]

I'll go first if you don't mind.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

That works for me...

[Raven's fairly versatile, but when you have people like Robin who tend to charge ahead, you get used to playing back-up. Lead on, Okumura-san!--Raven's just gonna go quiet and be ready for anything, senses extended, behind him.]

[smiling_dragoon]

[And lead on he shall! He moves for the playhouse first, peering stealthily through one of the little windows before he dares to open the door. He lets the door swing open fully before he steps through, weapon at the ready just in case as he slowly moves into the little room to investigate.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[And Raven's going to be a reasonable distance that is close, but not right-on-top, behind. Quiet, looking around cautiously and keeping both normal and her empathic-senses active. So far no presences...not even like the place is haunted. Clear that she is used to working with a group, and adapts well.]

[smiling_dragoon]

[Indeed she does, and it's something he appreciates. He's so used to people like his brother who just run in without thinking. Proper caution and teamwork is refreshing.

He surveys the room for several long moments, making sure to scope every part of it before he lowers his weapon.]

All clear.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[She has her moments, but she's usually one of the more mature members of the Titans...]

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to sense anyone or anything...it's not like the places that are haunted, either. I don't think we'll run into anyone, but we should still be cautious.

[Spoken quietly, her gaze also taking in the room, moving cautiously as she starts to scout around as well.]

[smiling_dragoon]

[He nods. He's tempted to ask questions about just what sort of abilities she has, but that's kinda rude. Also, this isn't really the time.

Time to poke about then, and it doesn't take long to come across an eerie stash of dolls.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[He's welcome to ask...she's used to much ruder. She's making her way over to join him, eyes going wide at the dolls.]

.......ok, that's eerie. Do you think they're voodoo dolls?

[SO not touching 'em yet...she doesn't wanna get body-swapped again. Once was enough, thanks.]

[smiling_dragoon]

I don't know...

[He crouches down to get at eye-level with one that looks just like him. Reaching out carefully, he flicks his safety back on and prods the doll with the muzzle of his gun...

And it falls over. But nothing else happens.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Have a very faint snort.]

If they were voodoo dolls, I'm not sure shooting yourself finding that out, would be a good idea Okumura-san.

[Sarcasm is in heavy-supply. Now she's gonna move closer, picking up her own doll with careful hands.]

Huh...there's Sasuke, and Naruto.

[Picking up those dolls as well. And then Sebastian's, and Rin's, and Kiriko's, in her dark-energy. That's about it for people she recognizes.]

That's me holding the dolls by the way, so don't shoot.

[Says someone still examining her own, warily.]

[smiling_dragoon]

[Yukio grins at her over his shoulder, waggling the gun a little.]

Hence the safety.

[He does start a bit when the dolls begin to float, but calms at her explanation. Finally holstering his weapon, he reaches out to pick up a doll that looks to be modeled off of an older man. It's gray haired, bespectacled, and wearing a black coat similar to Yukio's.]

It looks like all the current residents are here, plus more...
