(PrP) Bismark Revelations

[Aurora]

Eyes look to where Sand mentions, nodding. So something was off.

“So I guess the questions is why. Why add this, what’s being hidden or possibly walled in?” it was kind of like in horror movies when people before you sealed something away. She highly doubted there was some ancient evil behind the wall, but there was something.

An absent nod towards Sand as she continues to look at the wall.

Then Tuesday agrees and Aurora realizes she’s about to attempt a spell she’d never tried. Sure, she’d seen it used, but that was something totally different.

So it was exciting for her as she reached out a placed a hand on the wall, closing her eyes and concentrating. Butterflies forming in her stomach as she feels the spell catch, eyes eagerly opening looking at the wall, excited to see what would be revealed.

[Sand]

A shrug.

"Maybe it is just bad add on construction- an attempt to redesign this floor. Or it could be where the time fuckery didn't work. Like... in the First Time it was an open room and in the Second Time it was narrow hallways, but the conversion didn't work and now it is a mishmash of both."

"Hopefully you can see something and maybe that will give us a clue."

Stepping a pace past where they had paused, more scanning. Less to actually find anything that wasn't already revealed but more to give Aurora room to do her thing. The sparkles from Tuesday are a give away that she too is working her skills.

[Yumyumcrow]

Tuesday weaves her spell and her answer comes to her as a feeling deep in her gut when she turns to the right.

Which fits. Sand is looking down that side of the passage, pointing out the tell-tale signs of the sub basement's true heritage. If it really is a Labyrinth, the heart of it must lie in that direction, to the right. The faint pulse, shimmering at the edge of her Fate sensitive vision, all hints at this.

Destiny floats in the air.

While that goes on, Aurora moves forward, following the passage to the right. The Thyrsus walks right up to the spot Sand first spotted and lays her hand on the wall. The imago flows from her mind to reality, weaving and settling into the Pattern of dirty old bricks. There is a faint clack as the chemical composition and structure of the wall shifts to accommodate her will.

...

Beyond the walls is not bare stone or dirt. Its not a tunnel for sewerage either. Its another wall.

A wall made from different bricks. A wall from a completely different structure altogether. A structure apparently sealed off from the outside and buried within another building.

The question is, how to get in to it!

[Tuesday]

"To the right, to the right~" in a sing murmmer if to the left, as Fate jumps out at her and leads them through the twisting layberenthine paths.

Shivering as Destiny settlers in the are.

a spark of Destiny about you

Hazels see Aurora's own glyph work expand and paused to see just what the Shaman did.

Head turns to Sand, "It might just be mundane screw ups but the thought of Time lines over lapping to make this...it makes me feel a little better."

[Aurora]

She heard Sand, and absently nods. It wasn’t that she was trying to be rude, but her blue eyes were focused on the wall in front of her. And what her spell might or might not reveal.

Eyes narrow and her head tilts to the side as she looks.

At another wall.

There was a frown, “It’s another wall.” There was a hint of disappointment in her voice, she was really hoping for a secret room or something.

Shaking her head, “No, I don’t think it’s a mundane screw up, cause of so, it's a piss poor job. With what this place used to be in my mind, and what that Spirit said, there is something." or so she was trying to believe.

“But the bricks are different, and the structure is different too.” Her voice was now dripping with curiosity.

A frown, “But I don’t know how to get into it.” Blue eyes move around the expose wall, looking for anything. “I mean, it could just be nothing, but it’s kind of too weird to be nothing. Unfortunately, I’m not proficient enough in Matter to really DO anything about it.” Which was frustrating to say the least.

“But,” she begins, eyes frantically looking at the wall(s), hands moving gently around it, “I might have something.” Might being the key term here. Matter was a new game to her, so it might not answer her call.

But as she looks, really looks, at the wall(s), she feels the spell catch.

Would it be enough?

[Yumyumcrow]

The spell catches...

The workings of Matter are slow. The raw, immediate, intensity of Life is completely different to this glacial coming of awareness. Knowing and feeling are one: Aurora knows and feels the walls and extremities of the structure around her, as much as she knows the dimensions of the void in the middle of it; Aurora knows and feels the extremities of that hidden structure as well, as much as she feels the void between the two...

And the lack of connection. No hidden passage. No secret door. Nothing connects the two. One has been effectively buried in the other.

On this side at least. Sensing the other side is beyond her capabilities.

[Sand]

A nod of personal agreement with Tuesday's statement, words not needed.

"Another wall?" Nose wrinkles, "Contractors tend to be lazy and cheap- if there was a wall already there, why would they waste the money in building a whole 'nother wall? I'm thinking that the evidence is mounting that this wasn't just a bad remodel."

Silence falls to allow Aurora to concentrate on her might.

Softly, to Tuesday. "How long ago did this happen do you know?"

[Tuesday]

"Ah...yeah. Give me a sec," Tuesday says after Sand asks her question. Aurora still focused in her own working.

Tuesday turns to the wall and focuses, golden glyph sparks light up the narrow space.

[Aurora]

There was a huff of frustration, hands balled into fists.

“Nothing, no secret door or anything. There isn’t a connection.” There was disappointment in her tone, she really thought this was something. Maybe she hoped too much. Without Luck to fall back on and guide her, she was winging it.

She turns away from the wall, done with it, to look at Sand, “That appears to be the case, at least from what I can tell. I’m not really well versed in Matter to learn more. But maybe this time, a wall is just a wall built by lazy workers.” A shrug.

And then Tuesday was working something, so she leans against it and waits to hear what the unicorn had to say.

“We could also be focusing too much on the wall. Maybe it’s like one of those things in movies, a heron, a red heron or something.” Another shrug.

“Could see if any Spirits down here want to talk. Or we could just keep following the hallway and see what we find.”

[Yumyumcrow]

Tuesday doesn't hear much of the ensuing conversation, such is the effect of her spell. The witch stares at the wall - or walls, rather, given that Aurora's Steel Windows are still in effect - and finds herself drawn into the warp and weft of fate as it spirals, trapped in the solidity of the wall's Pattern.

There are secrets there...

Secrets only she can pluck like little gems glistening in the dull Pattern of mundane stone.

The tunnel they are are in is some 45 years old in its present configuration. Forty five years, seven months, 14 days and 6 hours to be precise. The shape of the tunnel and its stone work is older still, going back a further 25 years (the precise details are lost in fuzz, like staring into a thickly stained mirror for too long).

The sealed chamber, visible through Aurora's window has not been altered in 71 years, 8 months, 20 days and 22 hours.
