"The Lady should be inside. Although nobody has heard from her, nobody has seen her leave either." Snow turned his head to look at the large monolithic building, and sighed. "I recall her telling us that she had not yet mastered teleportation spells, so that may be a small blessing."
"Yeah. Less chance of her spreading her craziness," Mag said, chuckling.
"We should probably hurry. If one of her spells did go wrong, then we should probably find her sooner rather than later," Snow said, grimacing at the thought. He walked a few steps down the path, before turning back to look at Myu.
"Shall we?"

Snow nodded at her affirmation, and began to walk down the path. Deciding to err on the side of caution in terms of balance, even though it had been the slime that had made him slip before, he spread his arms wide and moved carefully down the path, putting each foot down firmly before moving on ahead.
"Be careful. Another slippery spot just before the bend ahead," Mag said, deciding to give him more of a prewarning than before. Skirting the slippery area, he walked the last few feet to the door, looking back to see if Myu had followed.

Myu hesitated as she watched Snow begin his trek down the path. She wasn't scared or even nervous, of course not. She wouldn't let something as small as this worry her. Though, she was still a little wary.
Nyx seemed to sigh. She was getting tired of this whole thing. "Come on, Myu. If we don't hurry up, we'll lose them, and honestly, if they were going to do something to us, don't you think they would have done it by now.
"True..." Myu replied trailing off. Once again, Nyx was right. We really need to stop making a habit out of this...Nyx being right is just...wrong.
Myu sighed and hovered after Snow, gazing at the slime as she hovered past.
"Aww, Myu, I'm so proud of you!" Nyx beamed, absolutely delighted that they were actually doing something now and that she didn't really need to put up a big fight about it.
Myu frowned, "...Stifle it," Came her response as she notice Snow look back.

Moving into the dark room, Snow's feet stirred up dust, which leapt into the air as clouds. Swirling upwards, they tickled his nose, which caused him to sneeze violently several times.
"Gesundheit," Mag drawled, supressing a laugh at his antics. Rubbing the tip of his nose delicately, he coughed a few times to clear out his lungs before moving further into the room.
And managing to trip on an iron candlestick holder that was sticking sideways out of a pile of junk. Snow hit the ground on his side with a soft thud, more suprised than anything else. Rolling over and sitting up, he whispered softly to his guardian.
"Why didn't you warn me?"
"Sorry..." Mag said sheepishly, "Didn't see it either."

"I'm fine!" Snow called out in Myu's general direction. "I think Lady Perla told me that there's a lighting system of magical orbs set up somewhere in here."
"Oh yeah, that's right! Now I remember!" Mag exclaimed, the proverbial lightbulb going on. "She pressed some kind of ball thingy in the doorframe when we came last time, and the whole room lit up!"
"Miss Myu, if you're still near the doorframe, see if you can find the switch. I landed a fair distance away from the door when I fell, so I'm not sure if I can get back there..."

Doorframe. Doorframe. Myu keep repeating in her mind as gazed all around looking for anything that would happen to resemble a doorway.
"I think we came from that direction," Nyx's aura pointing in the west direction, which was not ways away. She hoped her guess was right because Nyx was just anxious to turn the lights on and get out of the dark.
Myu looked in the direction that Nyx was indicating. No. That's not right. "We came from over here," Myu stated bluntly pointing in the opposite direction. She hovered over to where she thought they came and noticed a faint light.
"I believe I found it!" She exclaimed as she quickly hovered towards the doorway. She furiously looked around for a switch. No. No. No. Where is the switch?
"There!" Nyx cried, and Myu darted forward to press it.

As the switch is pressed, the lights in the room flare on, revealing the piles of junk in all their glory. Lining the high ceiling of the room are orbs every few feet, the source of the light.
"Holy...that was bright..." Mag said, wishing that she could rub her nonexistant eyes. "Hey, good thing you didn't move forward any more. You would've tripped right over the altar thingy!"
Reaching forward, Snow used the "altar thingy" to lever himself upwards, back onto his feet. One hand resting upon it's surface as he stood there, simply thinking about what to do next. The tip of one ear twitched slightly as it caught the noise of a metal pot falling off one of the piles situated in the corner of the room.
"Now, where could Lady Perla be?"
((See first post for further description of building.))

"Wow..." Myu said trailing off as she admired the architecture. "This is simply amazing." She looked off towards Snow and gave him a smile. She had never seen anything so pretty. The lights and the room, it was all awe-worthy.
"Amazing?" Nyx snorted, uncharacteristically. Sure, it was a nice room, but it was covered in all this junk. "Maybe if it was cleaned up..."
Myu simply nodded and hovered over to Snow. "So what next?" Myu said coolly, almost indifferent.

"Hmmm....Well, I'm guessing that Lady Perla is not in this room..." Snow said slowly, musing over all the possibilities.
"Yeah, unless one of these junk heaps fell on top of her," Mag said, laughing. Snow's expression melded into one of exasperation. "What? That's possible, isn't it?"
"Yes, but not likely. Please give the Lady at least a little credit, will you, Mag? She isn't a complete fruitcake, like you say," Snow said, sounding somewhat tired.
"Not a complete fruitcake? Then you admit she's at least somewhat a fruitcake!" Mag crowed triumphantly. Snow hurriedly shook his head.
"Admittedly she's a bid eccentric, but I wouldn't go that far!" Snow said, trying to cover up his previous, and mistaken slip. Sighing, he sat down on the altar, placing his head in his hands.
"C'mon, Snow, don't have a cow! I'm only teasing!" Mag said, sounding kind of agitated with his behavior. "I'm sure that Perla's fine! Look, bet you that she's in one of those rooms in the hallways!"

"Well, lessee...I think I remember there being two hallways leading off this room, both with ten doors apiece, five on either side," Mag said, trying her best to remember their visit long ago. "Uh, I think that Perla's office was on the right side hallway, but I don't remember which door it was." She snorted derisively. "Bet she didn't mark it either. "
"If she's anywhere, she'd probably be in that office of hers. I must admit, she did seem rather fond of it," Snow said, remembering her pride at their last visit.
Suddenly, the strange smell in the room seems to grow stronger, an ominous and foreboding aura emanating from within.
"Did you hear something?" Snow asked, straining his ears.

Mag gasped as an overwhelming wave of dread washed over her. As she shuddered mentally, a loud clank rang out across the hall, as a piece of armor dislodged itself from the pile and went spiraling downward. Before her very eyes, the pile began to move forward and upward, molding itself into a new shape.  Big Trash Monster Junkma Appears!Standing at about one and a half times Snow's height, the strange aura and smell seem to emanate from this creature." Oh s**t!" Mag yelped, staring at the monster. " Mag, wha..." Snow started to say, feeling his guardian's anxiety. Then the aura hit him as well, making him grimace at the feeling. The monster itself still seemed to be getting its bearings, rolling it's head back and forth menacingly.
