(Loyalty Is,) El Rancho Motel

[Rhodes]

Rhodes gives Seraphina a skeptical look, like he's been insulted."I suppose so," he replies haughtily to the Spring Queen, following her out. Must keep up the act, after all.

Once outside and out of sight of the reception, he slips his hand in hers and kisses her gloved fingers. "That was amazing, sweetheart. In another life you'd have made such a wonderful grifter. Just when I think you can't get any more amazing...." He whispers, pausing on their way around to give her a quick kiss, smiling warmly.

"Come on. Let's see what they have inside."

[Saber Sloth]

Sera and Rhodes

It takes hardly any time at all and the Fairest Monarchs find the door that their key belongs to. The key slides home and easily turns the lock. Once inside they see a motel room. Nothing extravagant. Neutral bedspreads, on this side of orange, pilling carpet and a closed door, leading persumidly towards the bathroom.

Nothing out of the ordinary, except for the window. Early afternoon light is being filtered through the room, by clear plastic.

If you want to make some investigation rolls, or perception now would be the time!

Circe

Over and under prepared, Circe attacks the lock with the finesse of an Ogre, but with the aptitude more suited to her kith. With a quick jimmy and a shove, a clicking sound to escape the polished knob. With a slight twist to her wrist, the door swings open.

Inside is dark. Shapes of boxes, and shelves can be seen from the late afternoon light spilling through the door.

Abe

Like lightning, the Fairest Knight draws his blade, baring it to the Flame Lost's fiery eyes, the women with wax dreads, brings her lighter to bare, flicking it to light, and sheathing herself in flames.

Her Coal Eye'd lover lets glamour lick his skin before flames burst from his skin as well.

"If you don't want to fuck, then what the fuck do you want?" the women demands, standing flames licking at the sheets and bedspread, as Abraham keeps his sword pointed their their direction. Moving to close the window behind him.**

[Circe]

Smart phones have so many advantages to flip phones. Like turning the camera flash into a light while wearing it on a belt clp. Circe makes sure to close the door before adjusting her phone's belt clip so it is facing forward as she uses the flashlight app. Circe might as well check the room for evidence, other doors, or secrets before checking on Abe's route.

[Seraphina]

She felt her pride swelling, “And what makes you think I haven’t been one?” she asks with as much innocence as she could. Her eyes giving her away. “We make a dangerous pair.” She points out with a wink.

The kiss was returned as they continue to the room.

Sapphires look around the room, realizing in another life, this would have been five stars for her. Now? She was really glad for her gloves. The walls were looked at, any desk and drawers, just trying to take it all in.

“We found the broken window.” She says absently, her mind working over if it could be helpful for not.

But the closed door intrigued her more, and moves towards it to open the door.

"Well, you will be secretive about such things sweetheart. Were you?" Rhodes replies with a warm smile, slipping an arm around her slender waist. "And that we are, but only we know how much. Jut the way I like it," he chuckles.

Following hr closely into the room, he casts an eye around. "Seems like you're right. Let's take a look around, see what we can find."

The Dread Lord begins hunting around the room.

[Saber Sloth]

Circe

Circe finds what she expects. Mop with it's bucket, water cloudy and looking green around the edges where the mop's submerged. A broom with clumping grey fuzz clinging to the brush, a box of lightbulbs, and other miscellaneous supplies needed for the tending of the motel. Though from the state of the outside, and the supplies not many are regularly put in use.

She does find another door.

Abe

Gain +2 Glamour

"Sure, glass of water," Wax Dreads says, flames lick and sear the orangey sheets, the scent of burning slowly filters up. The women with the wax dreads sighs, seems to debate something for a moment before she stands. "For you, or for me?" patting the sheets with her flame wreathed hand. The heat burns into the fabric.

THe Knight-Errant sees, the disheveled nature of the room. Well lived in, the bedspread on the floor, the piled carpet is full of stains with tacks made by constant use. The door he'd closed lead to a dingy bathroom, and there was only the one window, the one he'd come in from. This room had another to it's right and left. With the bedspread there is piles of clothing. Across from the bed there is a dresser. Of a middle size, with three drawers. On top of it is a landline phone, and beside it on a small table is an old tube TV.

Sera and Rhodes

At first glance this is a room like any other, but as the Lost look deeper, they find irregularities.

Sera's sapphires flit around the room and sees the indent, the impression of movement. Tracks, leading from the door to the bathroom, or vice versa. Looking like something a giant snail would leave, or a dragging body.

The Dread Lord of Autumn is slow and thorough, meticulously checking the room, and the bathroom adjacent. Number 12 is a room, it looks like any other pay by the hour motel room, except it only looks like a room. There's that missing essence of a space being used for its intended purpose, this observation is reinforced slowly at first, no bible in the bedside table, nothing in the mini fridge, then takes a leap, no power leading towards through the mini fridge, he also discovers that the bathroom mirror is also broken and missing, a shard is found stuck in the broken grout of a tile behind the toilet, and that water doesn't come pouring out of any of the facets.

At the end of Rhodes' search he knows he's eaten 40 minutes of their 60 minutes of time payed for.

[Circe]

Circe decides to kill the light and try the door. If it was locked then she'd have to turn the light on and try picking this one. Or unlock it if the lock is on this side. She'd try to do it quietly though. Then find Abraham.

First she tries to open the door stealthily if it is unlocked.

[Seraphina]

As she looks, she answers Rhodes, “I may have been.” She replies simply, “After all, one has to survive when reentering the world.” A single shrug of her shoulder.

She pauses in her steps, looking at the indent on the floor, then looking between the door and the bathroom. A gloved hand touches the carpet as she thinks. This wasn’t really her area of expertise, so she looks to the Dread Lord, still touching the floor, “Did you see this?” she asks, indicating the indent on the floor, “Either top the bathroom, or to the door.” Then looks at the window, “Why the broken window? Unless someone saw something and the only means to get out was the window.” She muses out-loud.

Then that window. It bugged her. Though it could be a, whatever they call it, purple bird thing or something. Meant to distract. She could fix the window, see if there were any clues on it, but this day light, in a motel with mundanes around. That would be a problem.
