Syd just looked at her. Then she grabbed Molly's hand and tugged. "Time to go back to the others, nyan," she said. "So I can make SURE you call for me, nyan." She started back to where Aria and the others were to see what was going on.

"Excellent work, girls!" Aria called, gesturing for them to come towards her. "Since the door's locked, the inside will most likely be cleared, nyan. Let's see..." She gently ushered Cass to move aside in order to kneel in front of the door, peering into the lock. The division leader reached into her pocket and pulled out a leather pouch, opening it to reveal several slim metal tools bent into various shapes. "These are lockpicks. Every lock is a bit different, but think of them like a puzzle, nyan. Keys are the answers to the puzzle, but when you don't have the key..." She trailed off, holding up a hand as she inserted the metal pick. "Look," she cautioned, tapping the side of the door. A glowing rune appeared on the door next to the lock, prompting Aria to stand up. "Each of you has gone into the Mist Taken tower, right nyan?" Aria asked, taking a moment to look at each one carefully. "Have any of you messed up picking the lock there? Same principle applies, except this one resets, nyan. It isn't a good idea to practice picking these locks, nyan. Lance has a set of locks you guys can practice on, since he's the one who borrowed them last nyan." Aria began to wiggle the lockpick around, testing the tumblers inside. "As for building, don't worry if it's not easily accessible, nyan. I or another hunter can easily make a ramp for Lance, or we can have you guys do it for experience, nyan." Quote: Lock-Picking Mechanics- use the given roll for your hunter to try and open the lock. - Rolling a 1 means you fumbled, and the rune explodes causing you to lose 50% of your full HP. Bonus Mechanics - Trainees: roll 1d4 - Mist/Life Trainees: roll 1d6 - Hunters: roll 1d6 - Mist/Life Hunters: roll 1d8

Victorious, Aria removed the lockpick and stowed it back into its pouch, shoving the entire thing into her pocket before raising her weapon. She used the tip of her flamethrower to nudge the door wide after opening it. The division leader slipped inside with weapon raised, tense and alert for anything inside. "Careful when you come in," she cautioned. "We may have cleared things out around the outside, and locks may not have prevented things from getting in."

Quote: 100: Grey feathers fall down and a terrible cry echoes throughout the area. A miniature version of the Phoenix swoops down, agitating the fog wherever it goes. Boss Stats HP: 99 Auto Damage: 10 (hit or miss) Extra: Use a -8 modifier. For every missed attack, another insanity monster spawns inside the area. You do not need to fight this spawn, but instead ADD it to the area's tally in this thread. The Mist division leader crept further into the house, both hands on her flamethrower. There was a layer of dust inside the house: Cass was correct, this particular building seemed to have been unoccupied for awhile. There was still furniture within, uncovered and unprotected from the dust. Who lived here last? Was it a hunter who died recently? A house abandoned pre-horseman mission? It was entirely possible that the dwelling had an owner, but said owner had yet to return home. Aria paused as a gray feather fell past her face. She jerked back reflectively as a loud cry rang throughout the area. The miniature gray phoenix launched itself off of the second floor's balcony, screeching and beating its massive wings as it dove to strike Aria. "Ware! Phoenix!" She yelled, jerking her weapon up to meet talon with flame.

((******** YEAH PHONE POSTS LOL))
Candace watched eagerly as Aria began to instruct them on the lock picks, and how to use them. It was just like on television from the looks of it; a set of metal tools, pick it and go. Though the reminder of the runic shackles in the Mist Tower course did get an adorably kawaii~ 'ooooh~!' of understanding from her. Candace had done well with that portion! In fact it was pretty much the only thing she'd done perfectly. Huh...okay, so she just needed to get her hands on a lock pick set. Okay. She could do that! She would complete Lance's challenge.
The door unlocked, Candace kept Atropos summoned as she followed Aria and the others inside, the glow of their weapons giving her an eerie sense of dread. It was creepy that they were he only thing illuminating this ******** starting to think the Phoenix laid a nest of eggs somewhere, nyan! Good god!". Andace groaned, hurrying up the stairs a couple of steps to grab the rail and pull herself up, her gloves giving her enough grip to keep herself in place long enough to throw her legs over the rail and launch herself at the Phoenix. It hit. Hard.

Cass watched in awe as Aria pulled out her toolkit for lock picking, looking at everything curiously.
"I've not messed that task up yet, nyan." she commented in regard to how the Mist Tower worked, though to be honest she was less than thrilled with that risk. Then again, Cass also royally hated Jenga. Oh, she hated Jenga so much. "I think it would be good to practice though, nyan~. A good life skill with this lifestyle, nyan~" Still, Cass had to wonder where someone picked up a kit like that.
"Where did you get those, nyan~? I'd probably be wise to pick up some to go into my kit, nyan~" though the most important things were kept on her always. If Aria had asked her if she had her knife right then, Cass would have shown her exactly where it was.
Never the less, as Cass slowly stepped in after Aria, she kept a firm grip on Nicodemus, looking over the room with extra care when their leader warned that there might have been things inside. Y'know..like Phoenixes and the like. Which frankly - Oh goddammit.
"I'll get it!" she picked up immediately when Aria let them know that there was indeed a Phoenix in the house and as it was, Cass was going to ride her high just a bit more...

As Aria called them over, Molly followed, looking rather intrigued as she pulled out a lock picking set. Oh man…she really needed to get herself one of those!
Molly also really didn’t remember any lock picking at the Mist Taken Tower but…oh well! She’d have to look into, certainly. She followed in after everyone, her weapon still drawn, only to tense as she heard the cry of a phoenix. Oh dear! Eager to help out once more, Molly lifted her weapon, ready to help provide some defense for their Lead. Looking over her shoulder, Molly nodded her head to Aria.
“I got you, Ma’am!”

"Good idea, Molly, nyan!" Syd said, rushing to help her guard their leader. "We can definitely do this, nyan!"
They were going to take out the phoenix, a handful of misties. She was so proud.

As the two trainees stepped in front of her to block the phoenix's next blow, Aria held her flamethrower above them and pulled the trigger, blanketing the phoenix in cold fire. The bird screeched and flapped its wings, each beat stirring the fog within the house in vain until it vanished into the very same fog.
"We should do a sweep of the rest of the house, nyan." Aria said as she lowered her weapon. "There's no telling what else can be in here. It'd be a good opportunity to scout the place out too, see if it's suitable nyan."
She turned and began to lead the way further into the house. "Also, as far as lockpicks go, nyan... I'll give you each a set if you can pass practice and training, nyan. We'll start on that once Deus is declared all-clear."

Quote: 2-10: You find the body of a fallen hunter, their weapon tablet lies on the ground but crumbles as you reach for it. The pieces quickly shift and expand into a large, insane creature. It's form is not very solid, and more cloud-like than anything. Boss Stats HP: 50 Auto Damage: 5 (hit or miss) Molly was very relieved to see that Phoenix go down under their combined efforts, and seemed even more delighted she’d get her own lock picking set if she passed a test. “ Yes ma’am!” The trainee chirped, moving around now, cautiously, to double check and sweep the area. Always better safe than sorry…Upon spotting another tablet lying around though, Molly tensed, looking over her shoulder to warn the others. " Another shifting tablet, over here!" HP: 9/40

Syd moved forward, guarding Aria again. "I really hate these things, nyan, they get up your nose, nyan," she complained as she started blocking the fog monster as well as she could.

"Shifting tablet, nyan? What do yo- oh no." Aria's face grew pale as she dashed to Molly's side, glancing from the prone hunter to the now-forming Insanity monster. She said nothing as she brought her weapon up, delivering fiery sweep after sweep as she attacked the former weapon.

"I'll do my best as always, M'yam." Now she was really starting to talk like a cat.
But it seemed like Molly had spotted something moving, and it was not going to be a waste of time for her to move in and actually do her job and attack - after all, she was one of the ones in the best shape from having saved her energy for getting inside of the house.
Seriously, though, had everything just saved up its energy for being in the house? These were some pretty nasty critters, and well.... she had to pass a rather sad look to the hunter's body before firing into the once-weapon. Would Nicodemus do that too someday?
I'll pass when you do. he answered in the back of her head.

Syd looked around, expecting something else to come out of nowhere, but there was nothing to be seen. "Think they're all gone?" she asked hesitantly.
