Halloween Clinic

[Mobius]

So the dice roller re-rolled my failure for me automatically I guess? I didn't mean for it to do that, and didn't see the first result until it was too late to edit my post. Please edit my post if its unsuitable for Mobius to try a second casting.

[Anima]

Anima sets his box on the ground by the entrance. Opening it again he pulls out a camera with a full spectrum light attached to it, flipping it on, the light beams down the hall. The shaman his the record button and grabs the watch from the case. Putting on this audio capture device he hits the record button there as well. Finally he grabs out a regular, everyday flashlight.

Holding the camera in one hand and the flashlight in the other, he's approaches the T-intersection and places the camera on it's small tripod in the middle of it facing down the right hallway. He turns his flashlight to the left.

"No thank you Papilio. I'd prefer to have my vision, and soul, remain uncluttered for the time being. Should you discover something that evades me, please, do not hesitate to imbue me with your eyes of death."

He turns to the Acanthus, "Mobius, I was thinking I'd let the camera and it's light point down one hall, while we explored the other,. The stationary light should also be of help to orienting us in this hospital. What do you think?

[Spark]

Spark followed the others in taking up the last spot in the line, "Which ever way we go, I'll take up the rear guard," It's not that spark thought of himself as particularly tough or resilient, he just didn't like the idea of being the first in line and therefore the leader. This wasn't his area of expertise in any way so it was best to listen to the experts and act as a guard or mystical muscle whatever the need might be.

"If it won't strain your mana I'll take the grim sight, feel like I'm flying blind right now."

The group moved in space but did not yet commit to the left hallway or the right.

While Anima set up his camera, Papailio and Mobius checked for the best way forward. The Mastigos by flipping a coin (flash of scintillating light in the gloom); the Acanthus by testing the very strands of Fate. The results were the same. Papilio coin indicated that they should head left. Mobius felt nothing for an inordinate amount of time, and just as she was about to give up, she experience a reluctant push or tug to her left.

Spark moved himself into his appointed position as their rear guard.

[Mobius]

Finally, the answer came.

"Looks like the coin wins." She replies a Papilio, a little breathless. "This way seems like the best way to start." she motions towards the left pathway.

She then turns to Anima, "Sounds like a good idea."

[Spark]

Spark nods to Papillo, "Thanks I'll keep that in mind," Spark decided to give his gifted sight a test and looks down the hallway and focuses the Grim Sight he'd been granted. Though he also looks over his shoulder, a small part of him hoping he'd see his sister somewhere following him waiting for him. It was a hope he'd never admit to, because it was a horribly selfish thing to want.

"I didn't bring a proton pack, but none of us are exactly unarmed when dealing with the intangible."

With Anima taking the lead, the group heads off down the left set of hallways. Their feet thud hollowly on the dirt infused floor. Empty doorways portals yawn perilously on their right - had they been there when the building was a hospital and not a ruin, the hallway would have been open and airy with wide windows on their left (now all they saw was the dark of night and the shadowed emptiness of Telford beyond the carpark).

Ducting, wiring, roots (of all things!) snake and dangle from the vacant ceiling space.

What remains of furniture sits mouldering among drifts of dirt and debris. What remains of hospital equipment festers in the rooms beyond, peeking out from shattered doorways like they are tempting devils and imps.

Passing by one such room, Spark notices a full length mirror, undamaged. He appears wraithlike in the dimly lit reflection cast by their lights.

The sound of the creaking roof fades, leaving their senses dulled, blood pumping in their ears.

Mobius Temporal Eddies does not reveal quite so much, nor in such detail. However grim the abandoned hospital might appear in the baroque glow of their light, there is certainly no trick of Time here. The Gauntlet remains stable, though still thinner than Anima would have expected, even inside a ruin such as this; no indications of any Loci or active Numina. The environment registers as perfectly normal for Spark as well.

Papilio has extended his Sight with Speak with the Dead. The spell does not change the acuity of his Sight, only makes the shadows seem to seep and bubble on the periphery of his vision.

But he alone see's the ghostly figure, crisp against the shadows. A curious strange figure in dusty rags, clambering blindly through the holes in the ceiling - as if they were scrabbling about on the floor!
