    The warmth of a campfire, shadows softening at their edges, the smell of woodsmoke in the air.

    When vulgar, it's the heat of a pyre, the air darkening with ash, the smell of burning flesh.

    Witch winced in the dark as Skye moved to manually yank the machinery down and pressed herself back further away from the range. It wasn't ... ideal, but she wasn't the one up there doing the work.

    As Skye worked, she kept an eye out for any indications of ... well ... anything.

    Appearance

    Standing 152.4cm tall, her hair color changing on a regular basis, usually braided but not always.

    Her body seemingly quite petite and small but upon closer inspection so is it unexpectedly sturdy, her left arm well trained with more defining muscles than her right arm.

    Rarely seen without an armguard and archer glove on her left hand.

    Each and every movement always precise, rarely if ever wasting any more effort than needed to achieve her desired result.

    Taking the device off into a corner away from the stairs, and the front door, making sure to never have it aimed in Witch´s direction for even a moment. Laying it down with the camera pointing down unto the floor before taking her long sleeved shirt back and puts it back on, adjusting her ponytail and walking back towards her companion with a calm expression. Still making sure to speak in a soft low voice, not sure if she had triggered some kind of alarm from having moved it.
    ”There we go, want me to come with you upstairs or keep guard down here?” Not having followed her down the tunnel in the other house unsure if it was something personal she wanted to handle alone or not, and not above standing guard down here should someone come in after them but more than ready to follow her upstairs should she have no qualms with it.

    Indeed the risk exists that the movement of the device, it's activates could have triggered alerts or a live feed broadcast elsewhere, if so someone would know their device has been tripped fairly soon. If not that it had been moved when next they checked would surely give that away but or the movement it lies face down in the corner, allowing for freedom of movement unobserved through the house or up the stairs.

    Witch takes a more cautious look around and with the stairs now a safer area to approach is able to see three steps up a poorly concealed trip wire that would send someone sprawling in the motion detectors line of vision. An extra layer of insurance it would seem, but against what?

    the house now open to exploration has the same L shaped hallway as the house the explored previous a single door at the corner before the turn would lead into what would have been the living room or den, turned tech office by the hunters in the house across the street, if the layout is the same, working on those assumptions around the corner would be a door to the basement and kitchen access.

    Upstairs is more of an unknown neither mage having ventured up in the previous property but the window Witch saw the sniper observing from would be at the front the house. The house it self still still and settled, carrying an air of not having been disturbed for some time, dry leaves and old water stains mark the walls and floor, a musky smell suggest mold has set in somewhere.

    Turning away and starting to move across the bottom floor, not wanting to head up the stairs before Witch had answered the question, not sure what was essential upstairs but it was clear there were something. Lighting her flashlight, one hand placed atop of it to allow her to better angle the light coming from it and try to minimize the light towards the windows.

    Not expecting to find much but wanting to get a lay of the land at least as she moves around slowly, and deliberately, crouching down low, looking around the corner in each door opening before moving inside, and doing her best to be not be visible from any window not wanting someone from outside to be able to spot her. An abandoned house with working tech in it just feeling off, and electricity seeming to work why hadn't someone stripped this place of cables for the copper? Or with the price of cables today just pure cables? It was clearly looking abandoned, and not even someone homeless around?

    Making certain to avoid the stairs leading up, and only trying to see that there was indeed a path down to a basement here as well but not wanting to go down, not wanting to be to far away from her compatriot should someone else sneak inside.

    Without magic no matter the care taken light in the darkness will always incur some risk of being seen through perfectly normal windows such as those installed in the house, as it does as Skye moves despite her efforts to minimize the potential discovery.

    The surrounding area is no so descripd that it attracts those of such desperate or opportunistic situation as other more poverty stricken or abandoned areas of the city might. That and perhaps the inclusion of security systems such as the motion detector could have put would be thieves off as deeming the property to high risk. Who knows the answer as to why it remains mostly undisturbed?

    Regardless Skye pokes into the first room, the one that can be seen before turning the corner of the L shaped corridor the room is reassembly sized and some basic looking furniture seems to be hidden under white sheets as if someone had moved in but never got around to unpacking, nothing in the way of persona decorations suggests a similar kind of feel. What looks lie a two seat sofa and small one person table with a single chair make up the hidden contents.

    Around the corner indeed there is a door and it does lead to the basement Skye can confirm by cracking it open and seeing stairs down that she does not take, following the corridor along a few steps she emerges into the kitchen where a set of double glass doors lead out back, over head cupboards make he most of the space and a built in fridge freezer unit and dishwasher offer some level of amenities to the property, or would if they were in working order, the smell of mold is worse and she can see why the sink and facet are carpeted in the kind of black mold that takes root in damp places.
