06* Imp is slowly gliding down, doing a corkscrew decent. "Nice of you to join me." 06* Hien lazily glides along. "Stairs were too small." 06* Hien takes a look around as she descends. I hope the others aren't stupid. 01<@Ardweden> [It's a long glide down; stair people are in for quite a hike. The city below is filled with a strange mix of architecture, both ancient and futuristic, and plant life... well, plenty of what's probably greenery, smouldering under all of the light.] 01<@Ardweden> [A star zooms right for Imp, but he notices in time to move out of the way.] They tend not to be. 01<@Ardweden> [Hien sees a figure watching them from behind one of the buildings. Imp notices the same in the brief reflection of one of the building windows as the star streaks by.] 06* Hien looks a bit startled at the star, and glances up at the sky above briefly, before seeing the figure. She narrows her eyes at it. 06* Imp shrugs. "Walrus is a douche but he's been level with us. Mostly. I don't trust him. However, if he's saying it's dangerous... well it might be a threat." 06* Imp sees the figure but keeps going. It's not a statue or a satyr that he can tell. Do you trust anyone? Yes, but why should I trust him? True, he's probably got his own agenda. I think everyone does, here. But he hasn't given me a reason to distrust him yet, and the warning was appreciated. Just makes it worse. He's going to ask us to do something big for him. Got any thoughts on what it might be? No, but I doubt we'd like it 01<@Ardweden> [Sparkles fall over the both of you! They're not stars; they're SPARKLES. Shiny rainbow sparkles.] 06* Imp looks displeased. 01<@Ardweden> [Imp is displeased and COVERED IN A RAINBOW of SPARKLIES!] 06* Hien motions Imp closer to her. Woo, sparkles! 01<@Ardweden> [Imp is now a vampire.] 06* Imp will circle around to Hien. "I'm not a fan of sparkles. They clash with my hair." 06* Hien does not say "What hair?" Instead, in a low voice, she says, "Did you see someone watching us a minute ago?" 06* Imp nods his head, not speaking. 06* Hien makes a hmm noise, then looks down, trying to estimate how long it's going to take them to land. 06* Imp isn't on Hien's head nor any part of Hien, just staying near by gliding down. 06* Hien appreciates that! 01<@Ardweden> [Hien and Imp reach the ground. As soon as their feet touch pavement, it turns into lush, red carpet, really quite comfortable to stand on. How strange. The skyscraper seems to have a rotating door and is framed by a pair of marble pillars, much like in Haven.] 06* Imp glances around. "Why do I feel like my picture should be taken?" 06* Hien snort-laughs, then looks at the door. "How long should we wait before we go in there and look for the others?" 01<@Ardweden> [As Imp says that, there's a bright flash of light, and a thumbs up from a grayish, greenish creature with an camera with an oversized flash.] 01<@Ardweden> [At least, you think it's a thumb; it only has three fingers.] 01<@Ardweden> [And no mouth. And three eyes, all of them a bright blue. Okay, kind of creepy. It's bald, like Imp! And wearing a hawaiian print shirt.] 06* Imp smirks. "Give them ten minutes. We're famous and should live it up for a bit." Or we're a tourist attraction. 06* Imp shrugs. "Either way I am getting my picture taken." 06* Hien looks at her wrist out of habit, then shakes her head. "I'm not sure what ten minutes is. Lemme just poke my head in the building, see if they're in the lobby or something." She waves to Mister (or Ms?) Dream-Tourist, then heads for the building. Sure. 01<@Ardweden> [The Dream Tourist moves for Hien, waving to get her to stand with Imp. Please? It points at its camera excitedly.] 06* Hien looks at the tourist. "Okay, but just one." She poses, gets the picture taken, then heads for the building. 06* Imp poses happily for the camera! 01<@Ardweden> [Flash! Another thumbs up, and it goes to show Hien and Imp the picture it just took, as it's printing out the bottom like an old Polaroid!] Oh that's neat! 06* Hien is distracted by the nifty camera. "Oh, cool!" 01<@Ardweden> [It offers Hien the camera and points at Imp, then itself.] 06* Hien nods and takes the camera. "Okay, but just one." Gosh, where have we heard that recently. 06* Imp poses with the guy! 06* Hien takes a picture! Hopefully it's not out of focus. 01<@Ardweden> [The dream tourist poses with a peace sign!] 01<@Ardweden> [It claps its hands and takes the camera, giving it to Imp! Same thing, MORE POSING.] All right, but just one. 06* Hien gives a clawed thumbs-up. 01<@Ardweden> [ALIEN THUMBS UP! TWO THUMBS] (On one hand?) 01<@Ardweden> (Two hands! It has two hands!) 06* Imp takes the camera and goes to take a picture of the two. 01<@Ardweden> [The alien seems delighted, if its jump into the air and heel click is any indication. It takes the camera back and shakes hands with both of you if you let it.] 01<@Ardweden> [Its hands are clammy and a little cold.] 06* Imp will shake of course! 06* Hien shakes its hand. 01<@Ardweden> [It waves and skips on its merry alienish way, into a street filled with falling stars.] Okay, that was fun. It's probably been ten minutes. I'm going to go check on them. Sure. They probably are just worn out. 06* Hien really does head for the building this time. 01<@Ardweden> [Rotating door! DO YOU RISK IT?] 06* Hien risks the rotating door! Sending the smaller, more agile guy in first is a smart thing to do, and thus she does not do it! 01<@Ardweden> [The door gets stuck when it's halfway through the rotation and Hien's between the outside and in. OFFICE BUILDING NIGHTMARE.] 06* Imp tilts his head looking. "Need help?" 06* Hien lets out a muffled "yes." How fire resistant are you? Not as much as I thought I'd be. Maybe I'll just smash the doors. Let me know if that works. If not I'll get them open. 06* Hien attempts to break the panel in front of her. 01<@Ardweden> [Hien smashes it easily. GLASS BUSTED] Got it! 06* Hien presumably can get into the lobby now, and takes a look around for the others. 06* Imp walks in behind Hien. 01<@Ardweden> [The lobby is a giant fountain.] (The whole thing?) 01<@Ardweden> [Seriously. The whole thing is a fountain. With koi in it. Hien steps in and finds herself a foot deep in water.] 01<@Ardweden> (Yes. The whole thing.) 06* Imp hopes into the water and frowns. "Hien, let me up." 06* Hien blinks. Hopefully she didn't step on a koi. "Right." She picks up Imp and sets him on her shoulder. 01<@Ardweden> [Session End!]
