My...what were these things exactly? Touching one had filled her with an unusual feeling, a strange word--a name--that lingered in the back of her mind...
...But it was a name that she couldn't place, no matter how hard she tried. Perhaps it didn't mean anything personal at all? There was no way of telling, though it probably wouldn't hurt to try gathering more.

"Stew. I said." He followed Maiden's example, shoving his hand in the rubble and touching something smooth and warm.
"Hey! I think—"
no, don't! tentacles!
He snatched his hand back. Thankfully, he was still holding the fragment. What in the hell was that? While the first of those things he had touched had given him a feeling more than an actual auditory response, Stew thought now he might have preferred the former.
"I don't... um... yeah, this is probably digging. I think so."

...As if it would be that easy. When the one she tried to grab slipped out of her fingers, Vae pouted, staring after it wistfully. After a moment of thought, she rolled up her sleeves (or made the motion of doing so, rather) and waited until one drifted close. Come on, come on...!
OKAY, GO!
Somehow, against all odds, it worked. However, it also resulted in a very nice face-to-ground impact.

Rojand retreated further into the shelter of a building as thunder rumbled overhead. In the dark of a crumbling hallway, flecks of light floated and danced, and he closed his hand around one almost absentmindedly.
"Nightmares," someone said, a little defensively.
It meant nothing. He listened to the rain on the pavement outside, filtered in through the angles of the walls.

Marati, who had returned as soon as she was able - though it took her a moment to find Ryjer in the crowd - immediately started looking for a good set of fragments for them to hunt down together.
"Hmmm...Over there! See? Two of them. I'll try to go around them and trap their exit, while you stay here and make sure they don't escape your way!" Teamwork! That would get this done, right? Right. The girl crept forward, keeping the fragments in sight but trying to stay well around them. Once she was suitably behind them she made a gesture to her partner. Now was the time to pounce!

Aside from the fact that her head was hurting from that none-too-pleasant impact, her strategy had worked pretty well. Why not try again? What could possibly go wrong, right? Wasn't like she could crack her head open. Probably.
...And somehow it worked too, so go figure.

"A.. alright!" He beamed as his new friend returned, happy to take the direction. With his shadowy arms out, they managed to corner one and he herded it her way, brows lifted and curious as she grabbed it.
What did she hear? Was it as incomprehensible as his own? He watched her face carefully.

After what felt like forever he finally spotted another fragment, heading towards it at a run he passed another grey figure. It was standing there doing nothing of particular interest. Walking wasn't so difficult now, he was running, racing and so close to the fragment.
Pick a new name, yes I know you already have one.
It spoke to him as his fingers locked around it. A new name? For a mere moment it was questioned and then not again. As he collected the last fragment he pulled the rest out with it. Five pieces now. Now what to do with them? Perhaps he should take them to the shrine..
There were voices outside. In spite of all the questions that swirled in his mind, the curiosity that strained at his core, Rojand felt uninclined to go out there just yet, to face other people like himself, or unlike himself. The shards flitted and swirled around him. He left them alone temporarily.

Vae wondered ideally why no one else was diving for the fragments in a desperate fashion. Seemed to work pretty well for her...or maybe she had just been lucky? When one passed by, she reached out and tried to grab it in less...enthusiastic manner.
...Nope, didn't seem to work for her.

Of course, her strategy couldn't work all the time. When she spotted one of the glowing things and decided to give it another go, she found herself whizzing past it and landing rather unceremoniously on the ground.
Whoops.
...No one had seen that, right? Right.

The shards disappeared, one by one, drifting out of gaps in the walls, or dipping under the floor, or slipping between fallen beams where Rojand couldn't follow. He couldn't stay in here forever.
He made his way slowly back out towards the ruined shopfront.

Vae was, all things considered, not doing too badly for herself. The strange thing that she heard when she touched the fragments still made little sense to her, but she decided to continue grabbing them anyways, feeling that there was some use for them.
Well, that was four. Five seemed like a good place to stop.
