Maybe stumbling into a decaying rollercoaster ride wasn't such a good idea. For one, the path was starting to become impassable in places, and for another, the sounds were giving Voyager the creeps. "I don't think I like this place Doc, Doesn't sound very stable..." "Correct, but the unevenness provides many a secure hiding crevice. Perhaps any of your squatters may be found here, and we may gain information." The wind blew in again, stirring up more creaks, whines and groans from the wood and metal settling. While the noises themselves didn't particularly bother the surgeon, he kept close track of them for other signs of movement or possible danger warnings. "They might be in pieces by the time we find any, if He's here. Got any signs?" Sciurus rubbed his arms absentmindedly. Though there seemed to be a deep itch to them inside, it had lessened since they had come to the rollercoaster. It seemed subdued a tad, and he couldn't be sure what it meant. "... No..." He shined the flashlight around. "There is plenty of trash to indicate squatters, but I don't see anything. And it looks like the path ahead only gets worse." Voyager went ahead of the doctor, turning his headlights on to see the area. "I got this, Doc." The van stopped moving for a moment, and without sound or warning he appeared to turn completely to stone. The stone crumbled with the next breeze and a tall, broad shouldered man stepped out from the remains. Sciurus followed Voyager with the flashlight as the big -now- man went over to a fallen piece of metal track. He braced himself for a second, before picking the metal up and tossing it out of the way, a feat a normal man probably couldn't achieve. "Heh. I could do this all night... Or for thirty minutes anyway." The pair continued exploring deeper into the rollercoaster until the sounds started to change. The creaks grew more ominous and frequent, the groans sounding more labored... Then suddenly, -CRACK- "?? ... What was that?!" "?! RUN!" A rumbling had started, even the ground was shaking. Sciurus and Voyager watched a hunk of wood fall as the glanced at each other and took off running. Sciurus tried to lead the way with the flashlight, but Voyager had to keep shoving things out of the way, yelling the whole time as the coaster skeleton started collapsing all around them. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SCIURUS, LOOK OUT!" He tugged the surgeon away just as framework came down in a sound that probably echoed throughout the park.

Hearing a voice by her ear all of the sudden, Sammy fell back behind the wall and pinned her back against it, practically hyperventilating. "Gah!" she shrieked in a whisper at the girl. "What'd you do that for?!" She had no clue she was glowing, and as fate would have it, the unusual phenomena shut off right as she was startled. In the distance she could hear a voice calling out in their direction. Her eyes wandered back, just far enough to confirm it was the same party she was watching. "Oh great, I think they're coming over..." she murmured insecurely, not knowing what to expect.

Scythes, Watermelon, and Flowing Breezes.
These are the things that bring me Joy. Both Xashowd and Thanaphyr turned in the direction of a very loud crash, and watched as a rollercoaster in another area of the fairgrounds fell to pieces. " YIKES! I hope the Haunted House doesn't do that to us..." Xashowd nodded in agreement at his friend's exclamation. His Vampire hearing detected another exclamation coming from a nearby wall, and he turned towards it. " Hello? May I ask who's there?" Xashowd inquired. " Maybe it's the Werewolf lady! Hellooooo! You there?" Thanaphyr shouted over, hoping to solve his personal mystery at last. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!

The werewolf looks at the pink haired girl with faux innocence, "I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, pinky." She grimaces a little as the little reaper thing starts werewolf lady, a frown forming as she starts trying to nudge Solsi around the corner. "Doesn't that idiot know not to go shouting things like werewolf..? Draws all sorts of unwanted attention... Go distract 'em for me." She glances towards the collapsing roller coaster once, ears trying to twitch like they would in wolf form, before turning her attention back to the three older people.
(OoC: At least, I assume the reaper thing is older than her.)

Sammy dug her feet into the ground, but being in heels wasn't exactly winning at it. "H-Hey! I don't wanna go out there...with whatever...that is!" she protested, mind racing about what to do. "-oof!" The last nudge pushed her out in the open. Catching herself before she fell in the grass, she stood there frozen in an awkward pose. "Uhhh..." Slowly, she lifted her chin and scanned with her eyes, trying to find who was out there with the darkest aura she sensed in a long time.

{Honestly, I don't even know where anything is in this park... Is there a tunnel of love?}They weren't taking any chances now. Voyager hung on now to Sciurus as they ran for life, and after dodging a huge falling beam, went back to yelling. Soon enough they had made it through just as the last of the structure came down. The force was immense, and the resulting cloud of debris took a moment to clear, revealing Sciurus on the ground with his possessions and Voyager on his back breathing hard. /huff/ "J-Jesus...Freakin... " /huff/ "I told you to watch where you were throwing things..." The surgeon fiddled with his flashlight, beating the thing against his leg a few times to get the light. "Ya think..." /huff/ "Anyone might know we're h-here?" /huff/ "They probably heard us in Gambino."Sciurus fiddled now to make sure his bag was still in proper order, but even the psychopath was shaken. "That was close... Perhaps you should pick our next search venture. What do your precious stones say?" "I dunno. They weren't saying much before." Voyager took a large stone from one of the pockets of his overalls that didn't seem as if it should fit, and turned it over in his hands.

These are the things that bring me Joy. *Maybe, It's a pretty big place. I bet it has everything.* *Yeah, Thanaphyr's physically older (unless your character's around 200). Mentally? It varies on his mood.* Xashowd and Thanaphyr stared at the girl who suddenly walked out into the open. At least, it seemed like she'd walked, but Xashowd got the feeling she'd been pushed based on her erratic movement. " See, told ya. Pink. Very Pink." Thanaphyr stated, and in fact her clothing was comprised of assorted shades of the color. The duo walked over to her, curious about the girl they'd never seen before. " Hello there. I'm Xashowd, and this is Thanaphyr." He stated as an introduction. " Hi." The Reapling said with a smile. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!

Sammy slowly straightened out and stood upright, coming face-to-face with a man with red eyes...and a tiny talking reaper. "H-hello..." she stammered awkwardly, wiggling her fingers in a strange little wave. These were definitely the things she sensed, but it was a lot worse than she thought. She was still fairly new at being a magical girl, though she faced her fair share of dark forces. Still, she had to admit, the scythes were a new one. Well she wasn't dead yet, that was a good sign. If she played her cards right she wouldn't be anytime soon either. "You uhhh...wouldn't happen to be trying to kill people out here...would you?"

These are the things that bring me Joy. Thanaphyr rolled his eyes at her question. " Oh great, that misconception again..." Xashowd shook his head in response to the girl while Thanaphyr explained. " Look, the job of Reapers and Reaplings is to collect the souls of the already deceased to bring back to Death for the reincarnation process. We don't go around murdering people like psychos." " Unless they are somehow disrupting the balance of Life and Death. But usually if that happens, there's a hero on the world already who ends up dealing with them." Xashowd added, with Thanaphyr nodding in agreement. " Yep! We only get the special cases." Xashowd sighed, as "special cases" was putting it lightly. " Well, we told you our names. Might you return the favor with an introduction?" Xashowd inquired. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!

Sammy quirked a brow and looked them up and down, not knowing what to think. "Uhhh....huh." Well, they appeared to be nice enough...and should anything go awry she could always find a private spot to transform and hope no one makes the connection about her broken arm... Though that wasn't exactly the most ideal, it would work in a pinch. "...Sammy." she said after a while. "Nice to meet you."

We were heading over to the Haunted House to see if the thief stashed it there." Thanaphyr chimed in, figuring three pairs of eyes would be better than two. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!

Sammy scratched her cheek with her finger, feigning ignorance to protect her secret identity. "Ast-ro-labe? Never heard of it. I'm just here because I uhhh...lost something of mine here the other day! Yeah I was running late to work so I tried cutting through the park...and uh, yeah. Didn't end well." She hoped they wouldn't ask any follow-up questions, but she was mentally prepping for it just in case.

"Astrolabe?" The werewolf asks as she pokes her head around the corner. She had no idea what that was, but the mention of a thief had her curious. "What's an astrolabe?"

Scythes, Watermelon, and Flowing Breezes.
These are the things that bring me Joy. The duo narrowed their eyes. Both had seen enough in their lives to know when someone was lying. The only question was why she lied in the first place. " Right...I doubt that." " Yeah, the Astrolabe theft is all over the news! There's no way you can't have heard of it." At that moment the duo noticed the werewolf walk around the corner inquiring about the astrolabe. " Well, an Astrolabe is normally a device used in astrology to keep track of stars and constellations. One with magical powers was recently stolen, and Thanaphyr and I are looking for it in hopes of returning it." Xashowd explained. Thanaphyr floated over to the woman. " HI! I never got your name before, and we've met enough times now that I oughta know. So can you please tell me your name?" The Reapling inquired, determined to solve the mystery. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!
